This has been mentioned in other threads many times, of course, but I thought it was high time this great score got its own suggestion box topic. I recently re-watched the film for the sole purpose of catching the music that didn't make it onto the (really great) Bay Cities release. There is a wealth of material out there that would make a new, complete release a truly wonderful thing to have, especially from the Mombi scenes and ESPECIALLY the thunderous brass music when Dorothy steals the key and get chased by an enraged, headless witch.
The mastering of the existing CD is pretty awesome to my ears already, but I am sure a modern touch-up wouldn't hurt either.
I'm blissfully unaware of any licensing or missing element issues that there may be, and so I hold out hope that this will get what I call "the royal Intrada treatment" some day soon.
