I can't wait to own this. Always happy to spend my money on classic films, lovingly handled and shown the repect they deserve. Kudos to all involved.

It's the biggest reason I've never bought one of these UCE type sets from Warner, Disney, or whomever else releases them. I hate the fact that there's no way they can fit on a normal shelf. ...

I have never seen 'Lawrence Of Arabia'.
I would generally agree with you, but with a tittle like THIS, it is worth splurging and treat yourselfDoctorossi said:I'd like to see them get away from horizontally-outsized boxes, altogether, but yes, if they insist on using them, it's nice when, at the least, there's a regular case buried deep inside the treasure chest.
Myself, I would've happily paid $50 for all of the discs in a standard case or (especially) a Digibook. There's no way I'm buying that huge box, though, regardless of price and especially not at an $80 premium. It really pains me that I won't get all of the extras with my standard set, but I can get four fantastic Criterion releases for that price difference.
As a veteran can I just say I appreciate your sacrifice, andJoshB said:This will be a Christmas present for me, but a late one as i get back form Afghanistan a few weeks later...but it will be waiting for me when I get there, along with the 4-disc BD of Prometheus and Dark Knight Rises

I have the Original Soundtrack Recording on a Varese Sarabande CD. The credit on the film shows "Music conducted by Sir Adrien Boult." Maurice Jarre states on the CD notes that this was due to a contractual requirement in which Sam Spiegel, the producer, gave the credit to Sir Adrien Boult. Maurice Jarre states that Boult didn't conduct a note of the score. So when Lawrence is getting his motorcycle ready to ride and you see "Music conducted by Sir Adrien Boult" just think "Maurice Jarre"!!
Hear, hear!dpippel said:Mr. Harris, please extend our heartfelt thanks, gratitude, admiration, respect, and a rather large amount of expressed relief to everyone involved in this important and gargantuan project. I'm overjoyed that Lawrence got the treatment that it needed and truly, truly deserved. I love happy endings, and it just doesn't get any better than this!
Yes. And don't buy it as there is a much better and complete version out there...ShellOilJunior said:Has anyone heard this release of the soundtrack?

Isn't the quality of the HD tracks offering far superior to than that of the CD?Paul Rossen said:Yes. And don't buy it as there is a much better and complete version out there...
You can purchase the 2cd version on Tadlow Records. One cd is Lawrence the second contains other works by Maurice Jarre. If you only want Lawrence that can be purchased on a Silva release-same performance by the City of Prague Orchestra conducted by Nic Raine.
