5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Phillip Glass!, May 6, 2005

For some time I have thought that Basil Poledouris's score for *Big Wednesday* was among the best in the genre. Unfortunately, fans of this work have had to make do with the so-so sound quality of the home video versions.

This CD was lovingly remastered from the original studio sessions. The sound quality is simply breathtaking. Even the DVD movie sound is only a pale shadow in comparison with this CD.

I was especially delighted by the alternate and extended arrangements, which include the original versions of pieces that had to be shortened and simplified to work in the movie.

The linear notes are extremely well-written and informative. I learned more about *Big Wednesday* from this CD than from any other source.

Kudos to Film Score Monthly for releasing such an important soundtrack in such a fine edition!
