The transfer could still be made and the CD came out – but anyone expecting it to sound like the LP was disappointed, and for obvious reasons. But due to an unfortunate accident, just prior to the transfer of the master tape, the tape was rewound too quickly and stripped of iron oxide, thereby compromising and damaging the tape. This is the third CD release for Casino Royale (although both releases on Varese Sarabande were pretty much identical) – the original LP has long been considered one of the great audiophile releases, thanks to a nod in The Absolute Sound. A very quick search for the Kritzerland thread yielded this from their announcement: It would be because of 'expenses' and then release just 1 CD? Well, that really left me discouraged I really would like to buy this edition 50 years. Now 14 tracks have been deleted from the film score. in the 2012 edition (45th Anniversary), they, Quartet released on disc 1 the complete film score (33 tracks, 58 minutes!), and vinyl version on disc 2 (34 min). Maybe I will wait for the super duper 51st anniversary version then? Weren't the tapes for the full score not found? Or some cues damaged so badly they couldn't be salvaged? Little French Boy (Drink A Pint Of Milk A Day) If I checked correctly, 14 tracks were missing (!!): However, only one comment: considering that it is a commemorative edition of the 50th anniversary of the sountrack, why not also include the complete film score version? In that case, it would be 2 CDs, of course (as it was in the 2012 edition).

Great remastering of the vinyl version (original album). Bad film (I saw it twice at the cinema, sort of hoping it would be better the second time round), great score, great Richard Williams main titles & great film poster. I had the old, ages ago Varese CD & it didn't sound good at all, the loud bits seemed to distort. I wasn't going to buy this, but the samples sound so good. Nah, wait another five years and maybe better tapes will be found. I think I’ll just have to pick this version up! Feels like this score is constantly being released. Now I will have five different CASINO ROYALE soundtracks.Ĭool! I’m glad I hadn’t picked up any of the other editions now.

So this is a remastered version of Quartet's original cd set. General Discussion: CASINO ROYALE (Burt Bacharach)- Quartet FSM Board: CASINO ROYALE (Burt Bacharach)- Quartet
