This is a great thread! Glad to see so much love for original soundtracks. I couldn't find it listed, but has anyone synched the Rankin/Bass hobbit DVD with the original soundtrack? All DVD and VHS versions since 2001 have an incorrect mix that is missing dozens of sound effects, bits of dialogue and is full of mixing errors. I suspect it was an early temp mix which was mistakenly used for the DVD master. Despite fans complaining for years, WB has never fixed the error. I have the original soundtrack on a HiFi VHS copy, but was curious if anyone has it in digital form?
