As the only CD editions of this score (to my knowledge, Varese Sarabande's of 1989 and el/Cherry Red's of 2008) used the LP masters, I wonder if there's scope for improved sound quality by going to the Paramount music vaults for the original elements? (All previous editions of this title have been plagued by 'archival' sound quality.) Contrary to the original LP liner notes, there isn't a huge amount of dramatic scoring (considering the length of the movie, 208 minutes) and it could easily be accommodated on a single CD.
