It would be swell to have a re-issue of this score. It's a great score, after all, it's Morricone.

What's missing from the previous "reissue"?

Aside from the fact that the previous reissue is out of print and is expensive to get, nothing may be missing. I just thought a reissue of this score would be great for fans of Morricone who missed out on the last issue.

Actually a little of Morricone's score was "replaced" for the English language version. In the scene when the Russian wireless operator makes contact with the beleaguered airmen, there is a tremendous build up in the score in the original Italian version as this news is relayed to the Russian authorities. In the English language version part of this music is replaced with a bouncy balalaika passage which I'm sure was not composed by Morricone! (This "missing" music does appear on the long suite "Others Who Will Follow Us" as released on a Paramount LP and re-issued on the initial Legend CD.)
