What version was it?

I don't get the question.

His point was: Weren't you disappointed with buying a soundtrack album, only to find the music wasn't EXACTLY as it was in the movie? In other words, recorded or orchestrated differently than as heard in the film?

....but that's the way almost ALL soundtracks are.

The vinyl recording of "True Grit" with the Al Delory arrangements.

The albums recorded directly from the soundtrack of the the film have always been the most desired.

In that case, I recently purchased a compilation CD titled "The Uninvited'' and some of the recordings did not seem impressive as the originals. I can't recall any another titles at the moment.

Some years ago, I was so exited to find John Barry's Robin & Marian that I bought it without
looking. The disappointment came when I listened to the first bars , which were obviously
completely different from the film version. That's how I learned to watch out for re-recordings
the hard way.

Many Peer Raben-Fassbinder scores appear differently in the films than on record (mostly because th original recordings couldn't be located), although I like his record versions more than the film versions mostly.
I heard Buddha Of Suburbia by David Bowie also sounds differently on record.

Always watch out with John Carpenter scores. A lot of smooth synthesizer boffins
covering his material. Very bad. very bad.

one of Goldsmith's CDS (OMEN possibly) came with liner notes explaining the reason for re-recording scores instead of using the original film tracks.

-a major reason is that film tracks were mostly done in mono up until about 1970 or thereabouts.
-another is that conductors wanted to correct "flaws" they later heard in the film version
-copyright and royalty clauses in USA for H'wood studio musicians made it cheaper to re-record the lp's in London
-my favorite is THUNDERBALL-J Barry hadn't even finished scoring the film when they made him do the lp

One lp that came so close to the film tracks that I'd never realized it was redone was WHERE EAGLES DARE

Erm... I don't get why people think the Jaws 3 album is so different than the film. Half
the score is so buried under sound effects that a proper comparison is impossible, and
what can be heard sounds exactly the same on the album.
