So, it seems John Williams has begun releasing studio quality versions of his work. Beginning with the 24 bit 96kHz release of Jurassic Park. And the original trilogy scores are now released in this ultra high quality format as well. But we all know the sorry state of the special edition soundtracks with their tinny, high pitched sound. Has anyone heard these new releases? Are they improved and worth bothering with or are they simply made from the same masters as the CD’s we already know?
I have not heard them yet. However, this podcast touches on some of the differences. They sounds like they may be what you are looking for. I certainly want to hear them myself.
Ah, okay. So they’re new digitizations of the old album masters? That sounds like it might be worth it. Of course they’ll only have what was on those albums but that seems fine.
