Nevertheless, I highly recomend both volumes of "Lionheart".

Since it's considered on of Goldsmith's best scores (and some people might buy a disc because of Goldsmith's name in conjunction with the genre) I guess they figured they should definitely make it available here, but to spend the money on both discs would be ridiculous.

Regardless of how much of a completist you may be, this score also has added interest for the film score collector in that it marks the final collaboration between Schaffner and Goldsmith; not to mention the simple fact that two discs worth of material was released in the first place (Goldsmith as a general rule tries to keep his soundtrack albums modest) may hint that this score was something special.

Anyway, I do have a 19 track version simply called Lionheart (it also says "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" and "Music Composed and Conducted by Jerry Goldsmith" on the front cover). It has both "Volcano Records" and "Varese" labels. From what I've found out, there's very little stuff on the 2 CD combination that's not on this single disc (2 tracks or so).
