I enjoy good booklets, ideally with lots of background information that places movie, music and composer in context. Some of the old Marco Polo releases had wonderfully exhaustive liner notes. I also enjoy when the booklet illuminates aspects of the film, music, and score that are not immediately obvious, or what the central themes and ideas of a score are, or about director/composer relationship, why unusual instrumentation was chosen, and, and…
They don’t have to be all the same either, sometimes a track by track analysis can make sense, at other times that would be boring. It depends on where the most interesting focus for notes might be. I sure learned a lot from good liner notes.
