In 1992 Intermezzo Media (IM) published the first CD edition of THE BIBLE as part of its own OST series on RCA label. Since there were extra 9 unpublished original tapes, IM wanted to publish the complete score, but unfortunately the estimated cost of the complete edition was too high. RCA asked for an incredible high amount of money to reverse and masterize the extra Tapes on digital format. So we decided to use the Master of the LP, PML/PSL 10420, released on the label 'RCA Italiana' in 1966. After the RCA closed business in Italy, IM kept and preserved the Original Tapes of all the OST CDs made in cooperation with RCA. So we were able to re-editing and re-mastering THE BIBLE, as we did already for Mose', Boccaccio '70, Gesu' di Nazareth, and hopefully some others in the future. Taking full advantage of the extra 9 tapes recorded in Rome at the glorious 'STUDIO A' of ""RCA Italiana"" in 1965, IM is publishing now an Expanded Edition of THE BIBLE Original Soundtrack, in the format of 2 CDs with total time of over 123 minutes. The Double CD Set includes a deluxe 24 pages booklet containing Photos, Behind the scenes gallery, and 4 notes in English and Italian: 'TOSHIRO MAYUZUMI', 'DISCOVERING COMPOSER TOSHIRO MAYUZUMI by John Huston', 'THE BIBLE and MORRICONE', and 'THE BIBLE and LEGEND'. |
