...I'm wondering if any of the labels might be actively looking for the stereo master for this! I'm listening to the Prometheus release, and was thinking that, while the sound on this is pretty good, the details that the stereo tapes would reveal would be amazing!
So hope this happens. One of my favorite gritty early Goldsmith scores. As much as I love it I just can’t listen to the mix between stereo and mono. Kills the enjoyment.
The most recent release on Prometheus was a 2 disc set, with the complete score in mono on one disc and the album program in stereo on the other, just as I described. Previous releases were just of the album program in stereo. As far as I know there was no release that switched between mono and stereo sources on the same disc.
I still remember the Channel Four (UK) continuity announcer's introductory words to a showing of this movie: 'Action, disaster and some unexpected musical entertainment...'
