Have they found new elements or is this, apart from the extra cues, based on the same elements the previous releases like the Silva Screen were mastered from? I suppose had the original recording elements been found they would have made a big deal out of it.

Wow, quelle surprise!
Took the website to accept an order for quite some time - but it worked out in the end!

It's an excellent release and I'm sure it will do very well for MBR.
Alas, the policy that UK buyers have to place a minimum order of 150 euros to be able to place an order, coupled with already having the Silva Screen disc, means I can't justfiy it for myself.
It is, however, an excellent release.
Cheers

Totally unexpected...as all reports always said that the original master tapes were lost.
Well, it doesn't say they've been found either, so this could just be a remastered version of the tapes we already have (plus a few extra cues, which of course is nice.)

Kev, it still amazes me, and not in the good way, that from 8 billion plus humans on Earth, there are only a ridiculous 2000 figure of die-hard film music aficionados people to buy such a release....
Thierry, there are lots of film music aficionados around the world, but many of us simply cannot afford to pay for these titles anymore. Stephen mentioned the minimum 150 euro order, which pretty much rules out the UK market. And generally speaking, shipping prices have soared to the point that it's driving collectors away from the hobby. I've long since moved on, but I still enjoy reading the forum.
James Fitzpatrick produced the Silva release and commented on the state of the Legend tapes in 2015 or 2016. For those interested, here's what he had to say:
22/2/2015 "The 76 minute CD I prepared for Silva Screen has every last note of music that was on the tapes stored for safety by engineer Mike Ross....no other tapes exist... the only tapes that exist of LEGEND are the ones I used ... and I used every bit of music on those tapes....and the studio where LEGEND was recorded , Sony/Whifield Street, my favourite London studio to record in, ceased to exist a few years ago ...as did their tape library"

22/9/2016 ""the master will NOT get any better as only one source left in existence and that you have...and NO extra tracks for the same reason...count yourself lucky that I rescued from the skip what I could... the only existing tape left from the sessions was a direct to stereo safety mix...."
https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=111507&forumID=1Topic&archive=0
23/10/2016 "The only surviving tape from the London sessions was the 1630 stereo safety copy of the 72 minutes I mastered for Silva Screen ... all other tapes disappeared when Sony Whitfield Street closed. So you might just have to be content with the 72 minutes that exists as no other source elements exist.... and there certainly will never be a new recording from Tadlow or Prometheus as that type of scores is just impossible to recreate...."
