They found the complete sessions but didn’t expand the score?

That'll be next time, or the one after that.

In terms of the music, it's a straight reissue of the 50th anniversary edition, as far as I was told by Claudio.

This looks like a straigtht re-issue of the 50th anniversary edition. Which is of course fine, as that was already as good as one could expect.

What is there to "expand"? I mean, sure, recording sessions are three hours long, but that doesn't mean there are two more hours of music.... it could be just different takes of the same music, many of which probably not even complete, because that's what happens at recording sessions... You just record the score, often doing several takes of the same cues.

Yes yes, but I have wanted that "Enter Cheyenne" cue (whatever that's called in Italian) for years and years. Such a fantastic build-up to hearing his theme for the first time.

The movie and its music are just all time greats.
The Main Title sequence of ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST may be my favorite 10 minutes ever put on celluloid. Of any movie ever... Ironically, it contains no music.

The track I'd like most would be the complete film version of the Final Showdown.
I know there's a version on the CD, but it's not the version used in the movie.
To be honest, I'd like a complete release of the music as used in the film, but I cant see it ever happening.

True, but the sound effects are used in a very musical way. It's almost like musique concrete.
Oh yes, absolutely. The opening sounds, the windmill, the telegraph, the waterdrops, etc., all this was a musical soundscape, made out of on screen sounds, very true.

Apparently, per Facebook, there was a glitch in the first track of the 50th Anniversary Edition that has been rectified in this new edition. Otherwise, it is the same. One might wish for an even more expanded edition, but it is what it is.
What glitch is that?

After 55 years I still consider this Morricone's greatest score, and it was one of the reasons why ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST became the first film I ever singled out as my most favorite (for a time, anyway). But I won't buy another CD release of it until one finally gives us the proper film takes, edits, and mixes of the climactic duel and flashback cues. I'm already three expansions in; and if I can only hear those two with the film in all their glory, then I accept it!

The LP was bendier than normal but had a magnificent aroma.
Was that the one the postman broke?
