Incanus 5,714 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Ah, it's always exciting to find an obscure JW title in a physical CD store.With the rise of the internet retailers such moments are few and far between nowadays though. The joy of discovering something unexpected, making a find. But on the other hand it is now much easier just to get what you want so I am not actually complaining. But that was a fun aspect of collecting back in the day when everything wasn't just one click away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTennisBallKid 17 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 It was inevitable that I'd eventually order this one, despite already owning the Rhino, the Sony 2-Disc form the early 90's, and Rozsa's London re-recording."One God, that I can understand; but one release of Ben-Hur? That is not civilized! It is not generous!" Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 452 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 True, but I remember looking for those two a while ago via the other online stores. Either they were sold out (FreeClyde), the used ones were horribly expensive (Amazon) or they just weren't sold there.But I don't remember checking out MovieMusic earlier to find the Stargate titles...

indy4 155 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Bought Varese's release of JW's Midway. I already have the rerecording, but I know I'm going to get this at somepoint, so I might as well get it when it's on sale for $15!Also bought on Amazon MP3 the double feature On the Town/Anchors Aweigh soundtracks. I have Bernstein's original for the former, but the film version is almost completely different--they only kept three of his melodies. Never heard or seen a note of Anchors Aweigh, so I'm excited! Only 6.99 for 24 tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Midway is a great purchase indy4, especially with that reduced price. And I would say it is great that we have the re-recording and the original to complement each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 AS it happens I recently listened to the FSM Poltergeist 1, so I'm looking forward to hearing the sequel score now. I've never owned or heard any of the prior 4 releases, so I'm looking forward to digging into the definitive presentation. Too bad it doesn't include the LP arrangement on the second disc though.

Naïve Old Fart 9,513 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 ...and a fantastic score it is, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!If I remember, the LP tracks are about the same length, although "Reaching Out" is slightly edited. The "vomit creature" track, is shortened by about 2 minutes. "The Power", "Late Call", and "The Smoke", are pretty much what you hear on the varese. I don't own the new c.d yet.

Wojo 2,453 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Isn't it like TicketMaster? You give them money for a ticket to an event that won't happen for some time in the future, just so you can reserve a seat without having to pay more for one closer to the event when the limited number sells out?

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 It's exactly like any other pre-order. You're giving them money for a product you want. Either way you're gonna pay up so what's the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The question would be when your credit card is charged. Truth is, I never care. I figure once I make the purchase, I assume the money is gone, whether it's now or actually later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 That's my point. You're placing an order, expecting to lose $20 and get a product in return. I can understand if you wouldn't receive it until a year later but if it's within a pay period there is no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Anyway, most of them shipped yesterday and the rest of is expected to be dealt with today. And apparently there is one person responsible for sending out all1500 CD's. All I can say: good job to whoever that is- must be a lot of work.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Originally back in 2002 I bought the LE version of the TTT soundtrack instead of the standard, because of the extra FOTR EE music on it. I only found out later that two of the tracks were shortened on that version. So for years I had the standard FOTR and ROTK, and LE TTT. Luckily I rectified that a few years back by winning a free standard TTT from an FSM thread, and now I am finally going ahead and getting the FOTR and ROTK ones because, well why not, I already have the TTT and AUJ ones. Plus, ROTK has the whole DVD that I've never seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 When I get a steady income with enough money to spend I might consider getting those fake-leather collectors editions for completeness' sake (and for Use Well the Days).

I just find it odd that a comprehensive set entitled the Complete Recordings is anything but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
