Yeah, I like both the SE and your previous effort with it;)

Less than a half was from the SE. But I really compared for this one and indeed a few tracks were better to be taken from the SE.

Now that I know that the Antho is a film mix and the SE a repix of the 24 tracks, + the RSO the 24 tracks mix for soundtrack... It needs a new reading.

I wasn't so serious about it, but with the experience you have now and your recent wonders with Empire it could possibly be even better. But is it really worth it?

 It require a very attentive listening, because some mixes are more interesting / or dynamic / or better done than others on each release (and some are missed, notably on the RSO, as stated by the infos you gave me, while other tracks sound exceptional). A judicious compilation and restoration could be "audiophile". But it would cost me too much now. That's a lot of work (btw, I have a thread for this project... Just so you know. lol)

(Edit)... Oh and the SW sound salvage version was only a first step, I mean these tracks were somehow a first mixing. I didn't go further thinking it sounded good enough at the time :)
