Even with the muffled sound of the extra material, I still strongly recommend to look for the 2CD set. I love this score. I had the lp and treasured it, then got the 2 cd set when it was released. http://amzn.to/e9pBha I, too, love the development of the absolutely gorgeous main theme.

I've been waiting for you to land on this title. Marco Polo is (quite possibly) my very favorite Ennio Morricone score. I can remember the beautiful red fold-out album of this score and put it on cassette. The cassette eventually wore out, and the album was left in San Francisco when I moved to Scotland, but I never forgot it's haunting theme(s). I've got to give it to Handstand though....we both love the same two Morricone scores, 'Marco Polo' as well as his underappreciated '1900'. I consider myself fortunate to have the double cd of the former and though I do have the GDM-edel Italian import of '1900', I too wish that it were expanded. But the music to Marco Polo is....beyond gorgeous.

I found the LP of "Marco Polo" at a Goodwill last summer; it was part of an incredible "I must be dreaming" haul that included mint vinyl copies of "The Beastmaster", "Starman", "Witness", "The Karate Kid", "The Karate Kid Part II", "The Pirate Movie", and... wait for it... "Teen Wolf." Oh yeah. Needless to say, the Morricone has gotten the most play on my turntable. Gorgeous, haunting, sublime music; it should be far better known. I cut together an 11-minute-ish suite for a compilation mix I made, and I play it often. PS to "That Neil Guy," one Mr. Shurley -- we live in the same area and we have many mutual friends. I hope our paths cross in the real world one day.

Are there any studio insiders here who might know why a complete, restored and re-mastered version of this mini-series has not been released on DVD so far? What is holding up such a release? Thanks
