Genuinely never saw myself planning this at some point. But I may be starting a digital restoration project for a certain Macross vinyl soon 👀
I have this image album for the DYRL movie that contains some lovely classical music by Kentaro Haneda 🤠 (I'm REALLY hoping most of you have checked it out at some point!!)
There's a CD release but it's been out of print since the 80s. Ridiculously expensive too
I forgot to mention that it's one of Victor Entertainment's earliest made CDs (I think?). Which makes it more suspectible to rot...thus making it even harder to find a clean copy that isn't flawed.
Originally I got the LP while I was in Japan and only purchased it for the sake of collecting (and because it's a nice album), but with those things considered, I might go and restore the music straight from vinyl.
I don't think the album's gonna be re-issued anytime soon...

THREAD:
The scans I did years ago for the "Sono Go no Sengoku Majin GoShogun" image album are heavily outdated by my standards of today, so I bought a new copy and re-scanned it. Restored by a friend of mine.
Starting off with the front cover, illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano.
Next up is the back cover, featuring some chibi illustrations of Shingo, Killy, Bundle, Remy, and Cuttnal's pet crow.
Drawn by Ai Naniwa (なにわあい).
Front page of the insert booklet, also drawn by Yoshitaka Amano. Trippy as hell...
Bit late on this, but...
Last weekend I got the chance to watch Tenet in a (safely regulated & socially distanced) theater with some friends.
I am officially never watching another Christopher Nolan movie in theaters ever again, and I'm officially swearing by that.
You THINK he would've learned his lesson with the whole audio-mixing stuff after Interstellar, but nope.
The mixing on this was so horribly done that, besides maybe the first 10 min and the movie's ending, I LITERALLY couldn't understand or make out any of the film's dialogue
That's not to say I dislike the movie—I'm willing to give it a 2nd chance but ONLY until it comes out digitally. At least so I can watch it with subs on.
Not understanding any of the dialogue BC of the mixing made the movie super confusing for me. Had no idea what was going on
Gonna be posting some HQ scans of the Royal Space Force Memorial Laserdisc set that included the unreleased BGM as a bonus, plus the early pilot trailer and a special deleted scene.
Starting off with the front & back cover scans of the box that the LDs come in.
Front & back covers of the 1st Laserdisc cover sleeve included in the box set...this one contains the pilot trailer and the beginning of the movie.
Covers for the 2nd cover sleeve.
The movie continues here on this LD.
So Izotope recently released a new version of their RX audio software...some of you might already know that I use this for my vinyl digital restoration projects.
They improved the vocal remover module in the new version, and HOLY SHIT it works SO much better than before!!
It's still far from perfect but works much better than what RX7 was capable of.
Here's a track from Cat's Eye to demonstrate! "Stranger's Eyes" by Cathi Linn, which if I recall correctly still doesn't have a karaoke version.
Another example...the ED theme from Bosco Adventure 🤠
Every time I see the TV LP soundtrack for "Stop!! Hibari-kun" go up for auction I'm ALWAYS seeing bids placed on it.
Why??
Anyways I've been wanting to get it myself for some time now but I have such mixed feelings about the content in it.
Not a surprise since Pony Canyon published the OST but the BGM selection here is handled just absolutely HORRIBLY. Yes there's a lot of BGM tracks in it but does it really matter when 95% of them are literally single tracks that last between 20 to 60 seconds?
Why couldn't they just do what Columbia and Starchild mostly did with their OSTs where each BGM track consisted of 2-3 musical cues?
Also WHY ARE THERE SO MANY VOCAL SONGS?? There's already a vocal album for that dammit
