This is cool news! Those of us that have the two ancient original CDs have been hoping for a quality reissue such as this, especially with new music! Those things go all the way back to 1989 and are pretty hard to come by today. (I don't count the unlicensed pirate that the low quality Canadian label Disques Cinemusique circulated many years ago).

Music Box does terrific work so this is really welcome news. I can't wait to enjoy the discs.

Great music, great release. There was a claim somewhere that the Polydor release had its channels reversed, but I just checked and darn it if everything isn't in their proper place on my copies. Maybe it was the bootleg that was screwed up?

My copy arrived today, and I'm just now listening to it. WOOOOOOOOOW!!! This is some of the best music I've ever heard, in fact I think this now ranks in my favorite scores of all time!

Not sure about this Delerue effort, gave it one listen and it just did not click with me. I love Delerue, so I'm sure it will after more exploration.

I'm delighted with this new set, having enjoyed The Edition That Shall Not Be Mentioned for many years. I especially like the Delerue-performed solo piano rendition of the main theme they included at the end of the second disc.
