Having just received the album today, I have to say it does indeed live up to my expectations. The score, presented here in its entirety (including some scenes which, interestingly, had a few recuts -- notably the Party scene where Scrooge is pursued by Merlock, and a few missing segments; this is from someone who has seen the film countless times), sounds absolutely fantastic. Intrada, as usual, does an outstanding job. The only two disappointments I have about this release are the lack of the Mark Mueller theme song (added in post production), and in the liner notes, the lack of a cue sheet. I always loved seeing the cue sheets in Intrada's releases, but for some reason it's not on this one.
Otherwise, however, this CD is one that I've been waiting to own for far too long, and to have it in pristine quality is a genuine treat.
