Um, no. You really mustn't believe the HYPE you read on a CD. The Classic Records release was mastered from the Varese Sarabande CD. They had no tape. Furthermore, there is no copyright information on that release, which sort of brings into question its legality. Just because something is mastered at a high bit rate doesn't mean it sounds better, especially if the source material is less than it should be. The Kritzerland release sounds much better than any other CD release for reasons that are gone into extensively in the booklet. The tape was damaged by Varese. We fixed many problems in our mastering and it sounds 1000% better. And we give you a straight transfer from a pristine LP because that's the only way you can ever hear that sound again. Funnily, the dropouts that were on the Varese CD were obviously on the original master tape, because they're on the LP. We fixed each and every dropout and therefore the film presentation of the score sounds incredible and many have said better than the LP.
Mr. McFly, have you even heard the Kritzerland release?
