Thanks mate. Hopefully someone can upload these at some point

I have seen this post and the albums earlier today, but I didn't comment here until now. I do love me some Impress goodness!

I have big news. The JW Vault version of the Steve Race track "The Dark Stairway" isn't full. The JW Media Music CD "Night at the B Movies" has the full version, so I would listen to the Night at the B Movies version, if you want the full version.

Great spot! [deleted - I'm wrong!]

I have a theory on why The Dark Stairway is edited on the JW Vault release. They must've accidentally wiped most of the song off the master tape by pressing record instead of play, and the end result is a recreation they've made of the remains of the original track, not just an edited version. Seems like a good reason for why it's edited.

If that's the case, that would be... incredibly sad...

At least they didn't wipe the other songs off (if true), so that's good. I'm hoping they will learn from that mistake.

It's really weird. The new short version runs about 2% faster than the old CD version. It opens at what would be the 1'06 point in the long version, plays for about 4 seconds, then mixes back to 0'46. It then plays until the end but the section between approx. 0'59 and 1'07 is repeated. All very peculiar.
