I am listening to something so unbelievable that it's unbelievable. About a year ago I was given the tracks for a very famous motion picture - but they were in horrible condition and while I thought that maybe three or four of them might be salvaged I didn't see any way one could make any kind of release out of it, even coupled with other stuff. But in the intervening year, we've come to work with an audio restoration expert named Chris Malone. Since he's like a miracle worker and has done amazing work on problematic stuff, not only saving it, but making it sound great, I just sent him all the tracks and asked him to see what he could do. Two weeks ago he sent me a test version of the main title and I could not believe my ears - it was amazing. I told him to continue. And I've now heard about eight other tracks and it sounds so good I just am hornswoggled. So, what we thought was completely lost is now found - not complete, but much of the score has been saved and we can now release. We have about sixty minutes with alternates, but about eight of those minutes are tracks with some sound effects in them, and I will not use those even as bonus material. But people are going to be VERY happy - it's one of the great movies and one of the greatest movie themes ever written - and we'll pair it with some other stuff by the same composer, stuff that's just been found recently. Color me excited.
