Newly remastered, slightly expanded 3-CD release of legendary 1985 fantasy-adventure score from original mixes at last! Steven Spielberg presents delightful fantasy on youthful years of legendary sleuth, his schooling, introduction to Dr. Watson, meeting his one great love, Elizabeth - and plunging into fantastic and treacherous first big adventure. Wow! Barry Levinson directs, Paramount Pictures releases an Amblin Entertainment production, Chris Columbus scripts and Nicholas Rowe, Alan Cox and Sophie Ward bring Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s timeless characters to life on screen. Bruce Broughton fashioned the lengthy 90-minute score directly after completing his other magnum opus that year, Silverado, also available on Intrada. One of the steady best-sellers in our catalog, it became time to renew our license on YSH, itself a complicated process involving Paramount Pictures, Universal Music Group, Geffen Records and Intrada. Our initial plan was to reprise our previous 2-CD release which we had necessarily remixed from the 2” 24-track masters due to the complete original first generation stereo mixes having been lost. Originally Tomlinson, legendary mixer on Star Wars, had performed the recording/mixing tasks for YSH, done in 1985 at Abbey Road in London. Subsequently, also-legendary American engineer Dan Wallin created stereo remixes back in Los Angeles for select cues used for the 1985 MCA album featuring 37-minutes of highlights. At the time we had hoped to locate either or both the Tomlinson and the Wallin masters but it just wasn’t to be… until now! In fortuitous manner, renewing our license and a final deep search resulted in locating both sets of flawless original stereo mixes and bringing fantastic news for all concerned. This also allowed us to add three previously unreleased alternates which, while not essential to the complete score’s impact, do provide some additional insight to Broughton’s scoring process. And for the first time on CD ever, Intrada is able to offer Broughton’s original MCA album which not only features Wallin’s stereo mixes but also the composer’s unique editorial work on the presentation. While admittedly that LP was always just a fraction of the complete score, it was a sensational early album in Broughton’s then-burgeoning career. Filled with rich themes, robust action music, orchestral/choral sacrifice sequences, harmonic idioms ranging from 19th-century London musical settings to vivid hallucinatory music using a severe, atonal vernacular, Broughton’s score for Young Sherlock Holmes is an 80’s masterpiece! Mark McKenzie, Bruce Broughton orchestrate, Broughton conducts Sinfonia Of London. Intrada Special Collection 3-CD set, available while quantities and interest remain!

Three cds?
And some folks are considering purchasing this for the THIRD TIME?!
" It's madness. MADNESS!"

I just bought this new release, although I have the previous release and the promo. It's my favorite Broughton score and the new album now also includes the original soundtrack album presentation, 3 previously unreleased alternates ("Waxflatter's Death," orchestra version of "Rame Tep" and "It's You", which was actually used in the film). But above all it's sourced from the original stereo mixes ("Waxing Elizabeth" choir in stereo!).
Interesting to see "The Riddles Solved and End Credits" on disc 2 is only 3 minutes long. The full version is part of the album presentation on disc 3.

From reading the above, am I right to think the previous Intrada release was from the original masters, but mixed by Intrada, and today's release is not from the original masters, but is from subsequent mixes by Mr. Tomlinson?
Yes, the new release is sourced from the stereo mix made for use in the film by Mr. Tomlinson. It's my preferred mix.

It >is< madness, but I'm going to buy it again. Why? Because the original album was basically perfection from both a sonic and editorial standpoint, and the mixes on the original album are slightly better than what Intrada came up with a few years ago.

I have none of the earlier releases so I'm in for this one.

I'm buying this because it allows me to replace three sets (a 2-disc complete unmentionable, the previous 2-disc Intrada and a CDR of the original LP) with one 3-disc seemingly complete set. The clips do sound better to me (could be my imagination of course), although I had no complaints about the sound quality of the previous version. Onward and upward, one set instead of three, by all indications the most thorough and best sounding of the lot. Not to mention, one of my favorite scores by one of my top 5 favorite composers. No-brainer for me! For the umpteenth time -- big thanks to Doug and all who helped out!

Why did I just buy this again? Why do they always get me?

Hopefully, like APOLLO 13E, the promo will soon appear in the used b bin. Cheap!

I have owned every release of this score, including the original LP. And did I buy it again? Yes, but I'm going on the record that this will be the last time. I'm ready for some Broughton theme-park music next.
