I would love to buy Enter The Dragon OST by Schifrin.
I'm interested only about the sound differences between these two versions:

Aleph Records 048 - Extended Edition - 18 tracks (release date - 2014)
Warner Bros 15923-00-CD - Restored And Remastered - 17 tracks (relase date - 1998)

Thanks for any info!

The Aleph Records 048 - Extended Edition - 18 tracks is my favourite and I was lucky enough to pick up a sealed copy for £11 last Christmas, sound wise there's not much to choose between the two, but the Aleph has far superior packaging.

And Aleph Records is Schifrin's label, so you help him make his money back from the investment.

I only have the 17 track version but it looks like the extra track is just the soundtrack album version of the Main Title with Bruce Lee's yells superimposed.

Adam, I can only give my comments based on what I've heard.

I got the LP way back centuries ago when it first came out. It was great because it tied in with the film's release and was therefore almost actually hip even for spotty geeks to play as cool music with their friends, or lacking that, just doing Bruce Lee actions in front of the mirror, alone.

The Aleph sounds to me spectacular (it's the only other one I've got - I haven't checked to see how many other releases there are), so go for that and then tell me I'm a tit if you wish.

One of my favourite soundtracks ever, especially in the Aleph presentation. I want to listen to it right now. That increasingly manic percussion and bass track which opens the CD has me right now slapping my thighs in some kind of attempted rhythm, but it's complex stuff and I'm beginning to spell incorrectly probably, great score, great CD.

Consider my previous rabbit null and void, unless you are a collector of inconsequential rabbit posts.

Not any more, that I can see. It's only available on the secondary market, for mucho dinero.

I've actually been pretty happy with my version, which is a Japanese pressing and has only 10 tracks (Warner Bros., WPCR-519). Am I really missing out on a lot not having the various missing tracks?

That's the original LP program, and the sound quality is not as good. There is quite a lot of great action music that's only in the expanded version, yes.

That's correct and what it means is you don't have to buy the original album CD to get that album version track.

So to be honest it's a no-brainer - if you have no copy, get the Aleph edition and it has everything that was ever released before including the album version of the main title.

But is the sound any different between the Warner (I got my copy with the DVD box set) and the Aleph editions?

I have several Aleph CDs that are mastered very hot, sometimes a bit too much.

Expensive but this version by The Golden Studio Orchestra is a superb and faithful attempt at Schifrin's cult movie score, and was taken from the Bruce Lee cd box set in Japan. Wonderful sound quality.

Same question here.

To my ears, they're identical, and either one of these is the one to get hold of.

I own both cds and they sound exactly the same (mastering,etc),so i`d say the Aleph release is definetely the one to get.
