For what it’s worth, Best Buy also has a pre-order listing, albeit as of this typing without the stock images, for the vinyl here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/ghostbusters-original-score-lp-vinyl/34630038.p?skuId=34630038

I couldn’t find a listing for the CD, but I prefer vinyl just because I’m more of a vinyl guy, and I prefer Best Buy because of Best Buy Rewards.

I do wonder for us that pre-ordered the vinyl if Sony will include a digital download coupon with that purchase. Most of the new vinyl releases (new or re-issue) I have do include the download code. Crossing my fingers…

Here’s some more samples

Not sure when Mistake comes from, possibly unused?

Bummer. Sounds like the same non-theatrical mix as the last release. A few new tracks but as it stands this is an easy pass for me.

Woah, yeah… It’s got touches of the more supernatural theremin segments, like the portion during the “Columbia Pictures” card… But… Perhaps a bit more experimental? Building up to something that’d be used in a final cue rather than what would be put into the film itself…

Yeah could be a demo? I had hoped it might of been the unreleased parts of the film versions that use theremin edited into one track, people over at the FSM board have suggested it could come before The Protection Grid cue, as it lines up with the scene apparently.

I just presumed “Mistake” is from the containment grid shutting down.

Or when they shoot at the maid’s cart in the Sedgewick.

Track 34 – Mr. Stay Puft – is pleasant surprise.

I really enjoyed listening to this Album, the sound quality is incredible. :slight_smile:

I actually do have one complaint about this CD release (I am not sure if it only applies to me though.) The booklet that came with my CD has a loose staple, as a result the pages in the booklet feel like they could very easily fall out. Has anyone else experienced this with this album or is it just me.

It should be an easy fix if you have a stapler to hand.

For the cash strapped among us, are there any actual tracks that don’t appear on the previous release? Just so I can nab them from iTunes or Amazon or wherever, rather than buying the lions share of the tracks for a second time!

(I’m sure I could find out, but I’m working two jobs and in a flap at the moment, so any shortcuts to info are SO gratefully received!)

With this new release flooding the market some sellers dropped their prices on the 2006 release. Scored (pun!) a copy on eBay for $25 still in shrink wrap!

There’s a $35 limited edition vinyl from Mondo come Wednesday. Same tracks as the recent release.

To note, not sure if these are the same:

-2006 has Library and Title but 2019 is just Library.

-2006 as The Apartment and 2019 has Dana’s Apartment - I think they’re the same but the former is longer.

-2006 has Meeting and 2019 has Meeting 1 and Meeting 2.

-2006 has 2 Zool tracks and 2019 has Zuul 1 an Zuul 2.

Thanks fella!

Just ordered a copy for my collection using an Amazon gift card my sister and her family gave me as a birthday present. Really looking forward to listening to this.
