Looking @ Intrada, this is a 2nd printing from JOS Records.

I think Scott himself has said the film has a crazy cult following. So that has probably had a bearing on a reissue, maybe.

I'm sure that will be a very popular re-issue. I've got the original, and will get this too. It's been a while since it was on tv. I was only thinking the other day that we've never had a cd version of The Long Duel. I never liked the film in the 60s/70s as it didn't seem to have enough action / battle scenes for my liking, but I reckon my tastes have mellowed to accommodate what is basically a romantic film with a great Vince Hill title song.

I think pretty much all of the JOS titles were complete ?, so re-issues may only benefit from expanded booklets.

I think pretty much all of the JOS titles were complete ?, so re-issues may only benefit from expanded booklets. The older titles which were repressed a few years ago like the two Cousteau / Amazon CDs had only slighter different covers. But the first pressing of The Final Countdown had an 8 pages booklet, and the new one 12. John Scott original notes were quite long and informative though, so I doubt the new booklet add anything more except photos and a better design by Jim Titus. But it would be great if there were some additional notes by the composer, like a foreword. I miss his JOS new CD releases. Especially since bobbengan told us all the projects he had at the time. Do tell ?.

So, while I'm gonna be down for the re-release of TFC, what I'm really jonesing for now is a good release of SS. ... uh ... like this one? Moscovitch Music issued John Scott's Satan's Slave on both vinyl LP & digi-pak CD at the end of 2016. I have this on CD, and the booklet notes are very impressive. There's even an image of the recording log/invoice that accompanied the master tape. This is in mono, and performed on 8 or 9 instruments, but quite unique in Scott's discography. There's even a photo of John Scott with Norman J. Warren (plus Scott was involved in the album's production, too). A must-have, IMO.
