THE 1920s EDITION
A very different looking version of Amazming’s excellent fan edit. This new version still presents Joel Schumacher’s 2004 film resynched to the original London cast recording of the musical (feat. Sarah Brightman and Michael Crawford), but the whole film has been altered to look like an old film print from the 1920s. An homage to both the 1925 film version with Lon Chaney and to the original cast of Sir Lloyd Webber’s muscial, this “1920s Edition” is presented with two separate audio tracks : One featuring a remastered version of the original London cast recording in pristine quality, and one featuring that same recording in a vintage sounding “old and damaged” quality, fitting the look of this 1920s edition of The Phantom Of The Opera. Many thanks and much credits to Amazming, for his original Phantom Resynched fan edit which this edit is based on!
