Best experienced with headphones - especially if comparing the difference! I adore the Georges Delerue soundtrack to Jean-Luc Godard's fantastic 1963 film 'Le Mépris' (otherwise known as 'Contempt') however the mono recordings sounds dated, quite stark and cheaply recorded alongside contemporary classical recordings. Here's my remastering attempt which aims to add more colour, space and stereo. Please note that the minor blips are from the original recordings and I couldn't be bothered to fix them. The original recordings are included at the end for comparison.

00:00 01 Ouverture (Remastered)
