Replicant006: The only problem I had, however, was with the print, or font, of the liner notes. My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I pretty much need to rely on glasses all of the time when reading these booklets. But I don't typically have a lot of difficulty. This booklet, however, was difficult for me to read. I had to constantly try to find a sweet spot for the words to come into better focus; eventually, I moved to better lighting and that helped a little. Don't know if the problem is with the type of font used, or with the coloring, or maybe both. I read through the entire booklet, but walked away with a bit of eye strain. A minor quibble, I suppose. The music itself is the most important thing, and it's wonderful.

Yes, the music is all that counts. The CD itself has very well done matte printing, with solid manufacture.

I had the same trouble reading the booklet and inlay. To be sure, those notes by Jeff Bond are voluminous, which might've necessitated smaller print. I liked the production photo selection.

With an all-time great score very well presented, these deficits are just quibbles.


Is the booklet different from the original, both text and layout?

BornOfAJackal could speak more to this since he has the previous release. The one thing I noticed was the About This Release section towards the back of the booklet on page 22 that adds after talking about the mastering process by MM, "this is a 40th Anniversary re-issue of the 2010 La La Land Records release...". The booklet runs 24 pages to the backside.

Thanks. I guess the time has come to read the first edition booklet.

The new Dragonslayer CD booklet is the same as the old booklet, with minor changes.

I didn't like the back cover so I did this a while back:
