This is probably so obvious that the good people at Intrada have already thought of it, but after seeing the wonderful 2 Disc Patton set (and the 3 disc Great Escape), it makes one think about other classic soundtracks that had great OST arrangements that were re-recordings of great film scores.

Jaws seems to fit that model nicely. The OST and original recording both have their merits, and both are in severe need of a solid re-master. I can see Intrada pulling this off beautifully, packaging JAWS as a 2 Disc set.

What say you?

I forget, and keep getting conflicting reports on this -- is the original album a rerecording or not?

The most crucial film score of all time should really have had this treatment a long time ago. Especially when you think that 'lesser' scores have.

I woud love to see something like the Batman: The Dark Knight deluxe edition. Oversized booklet, 2 disks all housed in a really beautiful bit of packaging.

Some scores just deserve to have that little something extra

Jaws 2, as well!

Dream bigger, people...how about a Jaws box set with all *four* Jaws scores in complete remastered versions, with unused cues and differing album recordings remastered too?

(To me the Decca's collector's edition (released in 2000) was greatly remastered and offered some unreleased portions.
So... a release for Spielberg's DUEL (Goldenberg) is definitely MORE URGENT!!!

I don't think Jaws would work. Unlike Patton, both the album & original have been released on CD, & you can still buy both versions quite cheap at Amazon. Jaws 2, now that would work!

The Decca complete original score is just fine.

The old MCA re-recording of the score actually, in my opinion, kind of has a good feel about it from the inferior remastering; some of that would likely be lost in a remastering.

The Decca release is a wonderful presentation of the score, but could be improved upon soundwise

I thought I'd give this thread a deserved bump.

Intrada, please? :cry:

Jaws: The Revenge would be nice.

A set of all four with competent mastering of first-generation elements would be great, but that's really wishing for too much.
