The whole expansion thing was improbable anyway. I doubt any label is willing to release 6 boxes of 6 to 7 CDs each, even if they're released over the course of a few years.

 

I think a complete box set for season 1 is certainly possible, thanks to the continuing popularity of the show and composer, and because it was all recorded before the July 2005 AFM cutoff date. 

 

Later seasons would be impossible until that rule changes.

Still, anyone should ask Giacchino on social media why not just release everything on streaming. Is there any rule that prevents artists of uploading so much music to Spotify and the others? Even if it's done over the course of a few years?

 

Maybe it's a rights thing? It's a Disney show after all.

Oh right, I forgot about the whole AFM thing. Geez... this adds another layer of difficulty to possible expansions.

Sighhhhhhh... I was really hoping for at least a 2CD (or 3CD) Deluxe Edition of LOST Season 1, getting a wide release. (After all, their Deluxe Edition of Graeme Revell's The Crow was put out not long ago as a regular release, not a Club title.)

What's the distinction between a club title and a regular release nowadays?

The letters.

Well yes, they do have different catalogue numbers. Here are some other differences:

1. Regular releases more commonly tend to end up in regular stores, where those still exist. They have wider distribution (through a Universal Music distribution deal for many years, I believe).

2. Tied in with this, regular releases are sold at other retailers at list price, because they are widely available at wholesale prices for retailers. Retailers like Intrada or Screen Archives have to mark up Varese Sarabande Club titles $5 or so because they can only purchase them at list price just like anyone else.

3. Regular releases are not limited editions in the same way as Club titles have been. Yes, they eventually stop printing them when they stop selling, but they don't say "limited to 2000 copies" on the packaging and likely the paperwork is different for licensing them (Varese almost never gets perpetuity rights on scores that premiere in the Club line, because those are expressly limited editions anyway.)

Club Titles are limited to a certain number of copies and are only sold through their website (other stores that decide to carry them have to buy them from Varese at retail price, so then charge above retail in their stores)

 

Regular titles are also sold through normal distribution like Amazon or what physical CD stores still exist, and are unlimited (or limited but at an unannounced quantity)

Lol@varese

They should have a Record Store Day queue that actually leads into one of those suicide booths from Futurama.

Would Varese make a video teaser if they are just releasing a CD edition of something already on streaming and vinyl?

Apparently Varese would make a video teaser if they are just releasing a vinyl edition of something already on streaming and CD.

Can we make an official rule that labels are only permitted to make videos to hype a product if it contains unreleased music or is a significant remaster?

[Yavar Moradi 2,599]

I wish.
