I loved the new recordings of JAWS (McNeely) or THE BLUE MAX (Raine), even though there was nothing wrong per se with the original recordings, so I’m all for recording anything anew if the music is good enough.

Actually both original albums of these have some sound issues although no major ones. JAWS (McNeely) I don’t know but I have both the Raine BLUE MAX and the older Sony original.

I remember in the 1990s when Varèse Sarabande and Intrada die both Bernard Herrmann recordings, I was arguing (on rec.music.movies) for a new recording of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL… I was thrilled when that actually came true.

Indeed that one is really good although some but not all of these Varese Recordungs suffer from too much reverb (to my taste).
