I would love to see the lavish care that seems to have laid upon the
early HW releases applied to WotEoT (salivating that HotMG has benefited,
along with SR). In the US, WotEoT was released on Atco (if my fading
memory serves) on this side of the Pond and UA in the UK. So maybe they
didn't get the rights to it. And wasn't the master missing for WotEoT
to begin with? (I assume that the first 5 were all done from the master
tapes, eh?) If they don't have the right raw materials to have done the
job right, that may explain its' abscence.

As far as Griffin remastering it, I suspect that they did not. My assumption
comes from the fact that during the middle of the Great Tangerine Dream
Virgin Catalog Remastering Effort, two titles appeared on Griffin in the
US (Cyclone and Force Majeure). Neither benefited from remastering
(according to those who did an A/B of the originals to the Griffin CD's)
and had completely different (and markedly inferior) artwork (generic
desert photography). Not having seen the current Griffin release (but
owning a copy of the box release from many moons ago), I suspect that this
is just a re-release, sans box & book.

objHappy Happy Joy Joy: The "scratch" on my copy of Alien turned out to
                        be just some sticky residue, which Meguires' Plastic
                        Cleaner & Polish took right off! Plays fine...
