This is the reissue of CD1 of the sold out 2CD version from the 2009 Intrada release, which also released a single CD in 2015 together with this 24bit digital download version. Is there any difference of sound quality? In the words of the label's producers:

"When Mondo expressed interest in putting this out we realized the existing 16 bit CD master wasn't sufficient. So Doug had to go back to the original transfers and start over to create a master for the LP. He took the opportunity to redo a CD master as well. Does it sound better? Probably. Will it be revolutionary? Probably not."

"Roger answered beautifully. I created a new master, yes, but the original Universal vault elements didn't "improve" with age nor did anything else per se. Sometimes re-mastering means little more to the listener than knowing there were new parts with which to manufacture from. It's really one of the most abused terms since it means almost everything being reissued on CD these days is ostensibly a remaster. Add a new track, change the sequence by a track, even add just one extra second of silence between two tracks and - voila! - you have to create a "new" master. Anyway, it's a frequently abused term since it often promises more than it delivers.

So with all that said, I personally don't think there is enough of an improvement here to warrant re-purchasing the disc, which I mentioned in my capsule on the website. Perhaps there is just ever-so-slightly more low end down with the basses and cellos and the tiniest additional "air" around the upper strings and brass. But those are really very subtle changes from what was done the first time around. We did create a 24-bit master this time, yes. But the audio differences are still pretty small. There is only so much one can do when re-visiting the same master elements - unless one really screwed up the audio the first time around. While that can and does happen - I don't think it happened on BTTF.

So the bottom line is, if you want to have your Intrada library remain totally complete (we should be so lucky) then it's probably worth another $20 to continue on that path. But beyond that, this release is aimed at the wider general market who has little interest in various alternate cues and just wants to enjoy the score to a massively popular movie. Keep in mind we sold the maximum allowable units under our deal (10,000). I'm willing to gamble that more than half of those went to fans of the movie. Not to "us" soundtrack collectors. Plus this release allows us to be a big part of Universal and Amblin's much-wider marketing scheme on the entire trilogy. With Varese doing Part III, Mondo on vinyl detail, Universal on the Blu-rays and us on both Parts I and II, it appears we're in great company."

Now, in my humble opinion, the 2015 remaster IS superior to the 2009. Indeed, it's NOT OBVIOUSLY superior, but it is smoother, more dinamyc and it's a more pleasing listening experience. So here it is. Enjoy, say thanks and rep me up (if you can). :)

Thank u Phbart. Great score to have in Hi-Def Audio!

Thanks for the share.

Hello. I love the 2009 release with the darker alternate score, but I cannot stop myself listening to an improved 24 bit selection of tracks; as BTTF is without doubt my favourite film. I like all 3 films!! Alan Silvestri does quality music for a list of my favourite films. Flight of the navigator is a great score too ;-)

Thanks for sharing

Thanks

I'll reup the 2009 2CD tomorrow.

Does anyone have scans for 2015 versions?

I can't recommend this digital title and the film itself highly enough. I appreciate phbart sharing it here and his link still works.
