I compared it to the unauthorized version. It sounds like there is less hiss on the new release, suggesting that either it's from a better source, or that it was treated to some serious noise reduction. To my ears, it sounds like it's from cleaner source material. This CD runs about a minute shorter than unauthorized version. I haven't compared every track. The shorter running time may result from tighter edits between selections and/or slight variances in the tape speeds. Thanks Jeff for hipping me to this soundtrack. I'm glad to have this new version too. I am such a sucker for late 70s/early 80s horror film scores mixing orchestra and electronics! [ Edited by: OnyaBirri 2010-05-29 18:03 ]
