Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
My version works perfectly and sounds great, but I didn't realize, not until I read the comments here, that this is a re-recorded version. I must be really inexperienced or the re-recording is quite well done.
I wholeheartedly concur with the other feedback regarding the "flat" sound of the overall recordings. Additionally, it seems like specific tracks, such as "Skateboard Chase" and "Clocktower," are played at a pace *a tad* slower than the original OST versions, which could just be my ears having been immersed in those albums for the past four decades. I wouldn't splurge on it, but it's a neat collectible, and it's fantastic to have the trilogy's soundtracks on one vinyl for some adrenaline-filled background music during a hectic work-from-home day.
All in all, a solid sounding record, though there's a few clicks and pops scattered about. Frankly, for a Record Store Day drop, the packaging feels a bit cheap, no insert or anything...Great Scott!!
I've got the EU model, which has 'made in Czech Republic' on the back and a distinct copyright notice at the bottom, picked it up in England
For what felt like an eternity (a precise 25 years, in fact), the groundbreaking, globally renowned score of Back to the Future was never released as a standalone album, instead being confined to two rearranged tracks on the popular soundtrack. It wasn't until the turn of the millennium in 1999 that any of the score tracks surfaced on a commercially available album. Recorded in August 1998 at the City Halls in Glasgow and performed by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, under the baton of John Debney, this album showcases 20 tracks from the trilogy and one from the now-defunct Back to the Future Ride at Universal Studios (now swapped out for The Simpsons Ride, I reckon). Sure, they're all re-recordings and not the original studio versions, but it's always a treat to have more BTTF score music out there, even with the newer and expanded original scores being re-released by Intrada and Varese Sarabande. This particular Varese album might be out of print, but it serves as a fantastic "best of" collection with 52 minutes of score packed within. Some fans seem displeased with the recording quality and the tempo at which John Debney leads the orchestra, but remember, this is essentially a live recording and not the studio polish of Alan Silvestri's original score. I, for one, have no issues with it. What a remarkable year 1985 was for cinema, and for movie scores, with countless classics enchanting audiences all year long. Between the Back to the Future theme and The Rametep Chant, it was truly a time for awe-inspiring themes, a far cry from the music of today. In another 35 years, people will still be honoring Back to the Future and Alan Silvestri's score. In 5 years, no one will recall any of the themes from most of the 2010s blockbusters.
