However, even if there is no improvement in the sound quality compared to the CAM release, this score will allways be one of my favourite ones and I'm very happy that there is now existing a much deserved longer edition.
A MUSTHAVE for my friend Mathias from Göteborg !!!

Once and for all, does anyone know why the recent Hillside releases, the Sugar stuff, beside being more pricey that the rest (I hate to post the same rant again, and I guess it's not my business, "take it or leave it" Mr Woodman would probably reply), has zero liner notes? Also, does the so-so sound quality mentioned for this release means there was no remastering?
More expensive, no sound improvement, no notes? I'm very supportive of all producers of Italian film music and bless the Dell'Orso, Saiz, Silverio, Benitez et al. everyday for their wonderful releases, but the logic behind the Hillside business escapes me.
