Once in a while I'm reminded of how brilliant Wendy Carlos is, and how bummed I am that we'll never get a remastered Tron soundtrack.

EDIT: it looks like the masters were saved and remasters were released after all! Thanks @rogzilla71

@rogzilla71 the masters were recorded on tapes that exhibited sticky-shed syndrome. She talked at some point about trying to bake them, but I think they were too far gone.

@phooky Looks like there were at least two releases in the past decade: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tron_(soundtrack)
