Just as the thread title indicates, which Varese deluxe editions do you feel most put a score in a much better light?


I'll offer five such releases:

The Cowboys
RoboCop 3
Volcano
Outbreak
Under Siege 2

Aliens, save for the bad mixing on "Ripley's Rescue".

GREMLINS 2's deluxe edition is, to this day, the absolute happiest and most ecstatic a film score release of any kind has ever made me.

I hope you and your darling wife made amends, because Gremlins 2 is one of my most savored scores of all time and I adore every single note of it! Up until the DE, such a release was my all-time holy grail (Child's Play 2 ranked second).

I don't know about American Costco locations but here in Canada they have pretty tasty polish sausages (with a Pepsi!) and chicken wings.

Costco ain't that bad....and you killed it with LLL's Titanic (and the many Treks to the stars...) Love your work.

Does anyone know why Varese's (excellent) release of Rooster Cogburn has the "Deluxe Edition" designation? It's a premiere.

Good point, I have no idea and yes I agree it's excellent.

Man, RoboCop 3 is so much better in its expanded form. Still surprised that the end credits were recorded as such, as prior to the expansion I assumed that it was an edited suite.

What a shame. Rooster Cogburn is a wonderful Rosenthal score!
