Maybe, but if you think about it, the right window for the Potter scores is soon, with no more books and soon no more movies they should better get on it quickly. Warner seems aware that there is some money to be made in scores. I'm sure Elfman's Batman will sell out and that will help. Being recorded in England helps too. I actually think the Potters in the next couple of years are more likely than Hook for example.

I have a feeling we may be seeing the Potters sooner than later actually, sooner than the prequels anyway. Who knows maybe WB will let LaLaLand cooperate since it seems they have a good relationship.

I believe it's exactly the same down to the creeppy ending when the swastika is burnt from the ark's box. I could be wrong, it's not on one of the Kunzel's I own, but my dad has it.

I think the Hook rumors are way too optimistic.

If we're naming videogames, Super Mario Galaxy 2 deserves a mention even if I prefer the first one.

The Wolfman

I hope the "Making Christmas" cameo is included in the expanded Returns.

Batman was the first non Williams score I bougth, so it opened a "new world" for me, I love it so I'll get it, specially since there's a chance I might get it without paying shipping. But I don't like this trend of including a second CD with the album presentation that seems to be so popular lately.

I had the theme from that movie stuck in my head for a long time.

For me, one example would be "The Secret of NIMH", I've never seen the movie, didn't even know about the movie in fact. But one day of boredom I was watching, I think it was the Nostalgia Critic or some web show like that, and they put a clip of it and I thought it sounded cool, I googled it, found out it was by Goldsmith, and now is on my top 5 Goldsmith scores.

I remember reading that too, but don't remember where. Maybe it was on this forum though.

Perhaps it's Batman Returns, and that's why it's limited??

I only cared and had expectations for SW and Indy. Did anyone really expect Transformers 2 to be a great movie?? Did anyone care?? Between SW and Indy, I find KOTCS to be mostly boring with a some very ridiculous moments. ROTS on the other hand is pretty much shit from beginning to end, although the real atrocity is AOTC, the point where Star Wars was ruined beyond repair, but that's not on the list.

Jedi's biggest flaw is the absence of the Emperor's theme which is a mayor theme of the score. Guess they couldn't afford a choir, but then again, maybe that's why we got the cool orchestral finale.

Surprised no one's mentioned Dracula, but that's another hard and expensive one to get. Might be expanded soon though. I'd say the only ones you would really need are The Fury, Dracula and Black Sunday. A bit more "out of the box", you might want to try "Lost in Space", some good stuff in there.

You're missing my point, but like I said, I had it with this. Enjoy your CDs.

So wait until someone decides to make a release that is better catered to your taste. Instead of complaining about how this wonderful release is a rip-off because it is not the "Star Trek - The Diego Edition" Oh God... all I did was make a comment that it felt like a rip-off, one would think I'm insulting your mother or something. I don't need the Diego Edition, I just don't need music I bought a year ago and I would like the new music, it seems that makes me an ungrateful bastard or something. I had it with this.

Because I quite like the score and would like to have more music for say, $16 or so and not buy music I already paid quite a bit just a year ago for over $30?? Am I allowed to complain about that?? Is it ok?? Jeez...

One, every release is not a homerun. So let's not pull that nonsense putting words in our mouths. Two you are free to doubt Varese as much as you want, you paid for the score and you can voice your opinion about it as much as you like. Though I believe your claims are unfounded and foolish. Which brings me to three. If you knew you had to pay this much money for it, maybe you should have taken your time and seen what it would end up being like before splurging money on it. If you really valued your money like your statement implies you'd be a more discerning consumer from the get-go, not paying and then feeling ripped off. I for one am grateful that Varese stuck to one version of each track, for example. It is an artistic and economic decision that has to be weighed on their part. And it shows thought. Bravo Varese for having the balls to making a choice instead of throwing at us a mish mash of everything that could have been just incase to please everyone. And where exactly did I mention I bought it?? Yes, my claims are unfounded, it's probably been a year and a month since Varese released the original, not a year. They're in no way double dipping.

A rip-off? You're joking me. Somebody call the... I don't care about the stupid chorus thing. The original CD was out a year ago, it's not like it was long out of print. As an international customer I paid quite a bit to get it, and now, only a year later, they want to sell the whole thing over again. Why not make a Vol. 2?? It's not like this is a wide release and people will be confused if "Enterprising young men" isn't on it, of course then they couldn't charge $30 or so bucks for it. They're double dipping and I think it's a rip off. But of course, sorry for doubting poor Varese, it's not like we pay for this scores or anything. We should always be thankful, every release is a homerun.

Not to mention that the whole thing feels like a rip-off

As usual the holly speciality labels can do no wrong it seems.

Don't own it. I think I have one track on the 40 years of music compilation. It starts like a piano piece, sounds allright. But I'm really more of a big, brassy, bombastic score fan anyway.

Return of the Jedi

With Raiders it's a trade off, with the Concord you do get a lot more hiss, but the instruments do sound clearer.
