I've only got the Varese Deluxe Edition and RSNO recording. I'll check soundtrackcollector.com to reference the original album and see what I can do with the DE.
Here's the best I can do. I think it's pretty good until the very end.
LP Tracklist...................................................Varese Deluxe 01 - Overture (2:55).................................. 29 - Overture (Alternate) [2:54] 02 - Main Title (2:56)................................ 02 - Main Title [2:57] 03 - Getting Acquainted (3:52)................. 03 - Getting Acquainted [3:53] 04 - Repel Boarders (2:37)....................... 08 - Repel Boarders [2:40] 05 - Death Of A Thousand Cuts (4:45).... 10 - Death Of A Thousand Cuts [4:46] 06 - Chang-Sha (1:00)............................. 12 - Entr'acte [1:02] 07 - And We Were Lovers (2:35).............. 28 - Exit Music [2:39] 08 - My Secret (3:59)............................... 14 - My Secret [4:00] 09 - Maily's Abduction (2:50)................... 21 - Maily's Abduction [2:49] 10 - Final Mission (3:42)........................... 22 - Final Mission [5:46] 11 - Almost Home (3:02)...........................26 - Almost Home (Finale) [1:00] & 27 - End Title [0:38]
"Almost Home" seems to be three cues, Almost Home [1:46], End Title [:59], and Cast Credits [:38], but the timings don't match. I'm pretty sure tracks 26 & 27 on Varese are the first half of the LP track 11, but I've no idea what would fill it out.
The other matches came from the liners in the Intrada, where cue names and track names were linked up pretty well, which is why I trust the Entr'acte and Exit Music ones.
Thanks for doing this. It's very much appreciated.
I take it that the Intrada 2CD is the one to cherish.Massive improvement over the Varese Deluxe Edition.
Since I own every Sand Pebbles soundtrack release including the b**t I'll state that the 'improvement' isn't as massive as one would think. The Intrada certainly sounds a lot different than the Varese but to my ears it's the Varese that sounds fuller and more epic. However, one of the best cues in the score is only available on the Intrada on cd2, taken directly from the film soundtrack that includes sound effects...The Intrada also includes a number of shorter cues not included on the Varese.
