Thanks for the response, Roger (as well as for the Intrada team looking into it). I figured that it wouldn't hurt to ask and I'm glad that I did.

INTRADA Announces: THE MUMMY Music Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH INTRADA ISC 402 Intrada's latest release is from Universal Studios' thrilling 1999 adventure The Mummy. Composer Jerry Goldsmith wrote and recorded nearly 100 minutes of music with nods to his beloved action-and-suspense vernacular of the late ’70s and early ’80s, an era he seldom looked back upon by 1999. By the '90s, Goldsmith was usually rooting his rhythmic ideas in heavy doses of electronics. Here, however, Goldsmith revisited a musical language he had largely moved away from, using real percussion and low brass and strings to deliver almost all the rhythms. And to emphasize the Egyptian locale, Goldsmith employed the exotic color of a bouzouki, a mandolin-like, Greek instrument to provide regional color. In the end, The Mummy was one of the biggest box-office successes in Jerry Goldsmith’s career. At the time of the film's release, Jerry Goldsmith and engineer Bruce Botnick selected 57 minutes of highlights for the album, electing not to use anything from the middle of the film, eschewing all of reels 8, 9, 10 and most of reel 11. As a result, several sensational cues were not included on that Decca album, including some of the most exciting and dramatic sequences in the score. For Intrada’s complete score presentation plus alternates, Botnick has prepared brand-new digital two-track mixes using the 48-track session masters. For the complete Decca album presentation, Intrada used the digital two-track album master. All source material was housed in the vaults of Universal Pictures in pristine condition and has been used in the preparation of this release with their kind permission. Brendan Fraser, playing French Foreign Legion officer and adventurer Rick O’Connell, headed a large cast that included Rachel Weisz as librarian and budding Egyptologist Evelyn Carnahan; John Hannah as her less-principled brother, who’s into tomb raiding for the money; Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep, an Egyptian high priest doomed to eternal life after Pharaoh Seti I (Aharon Ipalé) discovers the priest’s affair with his wife, Anck Su Namun (Patricia Velasquez); Kevin J. O’Connor as nefarious thief Beni Gabor; and Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay, leader of a sect sworn to keep the evil of Imhotep from the world. O’Connell, an Indiana Jones-like, adventurer-archaeologist archetype and Carnahan and her ne’er-do-well brother, Jonathan accidentally resurrect the mummified Egyptian high priest Imhotep and unleash all kinds of ancient evil INTRADA ISC 402 Barcode: 7 20258 54020 1 Retail Price: $29.99 SHIPPING JULY 12, 2018 For track listing and sound samples, please visit: http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.11533/.f |

Plus: Markedly better sound. Minus: A track that is listed as 37 seconds long. I dislike the number 37. |

Finally The Mummy gets the release it deserves. Awesome job Intrada, well done to all involved. Jerry may be sorely missed but his legacy lives on. Can't wait to give this a spin & a spin & a spin. Nice to have The Mummy Returns too. Great work guys & gals. |

An instant buy and listen for me. Thank you, Intrada! I had a question though for those of you who have bought it. About three minutes into Camel Race (and continuing until the track finishes), I was listening with my headphones and there was a noticeable static-type sound on the right headphone/speaker. I didn't hear that on the Decca CD release of the same track, so I was wondering if this was just my CD or possibly an issue with the master tape itself? |
