Jacob 0 Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Would have preferred the globetrotting cover I think, but the official cover is good also.Mainly just glad the motorcycle poster wasn't used -- the least classy of the three, in my not so humble opinion.

indy4 155 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I finally pre-ordered Tintin directly from Amazon UK. I was hoping the US version would be released sometime soon, but I doubt it, so I took the plunge. Plus I can always cancel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Well, compared to the falling dollar plus shipping to the US, it came about to about 10.57 pounds, or $16. Which isn't bad, but it isn't super cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 That would be cool actually. If they released it on LP.They did that for TPM, didn't they?KarolYeah that has to be the only JW release to receive an LP in nearly 2 decades. Or is that even a double LP? Has to be.But it would be very retro and cool to release the Tintin score on LP. With Picking Pockets as a bonus track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,318 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I have Hook on LP. Instead of making it a double-LP, they dropped The Ultimate War and Remembering Childhood and put it on a single LP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 How can you drop Remembering Childhood and not get accused of crime against humanity?KarolObviously by being very hush hush about it. And yes that is truly an absurd omission. Two of the most memorable, not to mention fantastic musical sequences omitted just like that. Sony was a winner even back then. If the CD had been 40 minutes long we would be even more excited about the possible complete release of Hook.I had no idea Indy IV was release on LP. They sure did not make a lot of noise for that release.Oh and yes the DCC Raiders of the Lost Ark also had the LP release. Unlike Hook that double LP contained more music than the CD, including the whole Well of Souls sequence. But that was an expanded release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I remember spending days trying to track down copies of Minority Report, Munich and WOTW in shops without finding themThose were the days when you could still find those in shops. Usually by badgering the baffled store clerks to order them in advance. John Williams CDs usually appeared on the shelves without ordering them separately since the movies he scores are so big the soundtracks were automatically selected for wide distribution. Now you can count the CD stores in Helsinki that have a decent soundtrack section with the fingers of one hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think I'll just pick it up the first day it's available at the store. It's nice to actually go out and buy something physically from time to time (last one was Super 8). Since I currently don't have anything else to buy, it won't be more expensive than amazon+shipping.I like the feeling of carrying the CD around with me all day, itching to get home so I can put it on (by which time I will have read the whole booklet on the train, including fine print) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,318 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ... but the normal American version of the CD will be out in December here, and could possibly contain Picking Pockets or some other alteration (or different artwork, etc).... not to mention it'll probably cost $12 or so with free shipping. Why spend extra to import the UK version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 What the hell is Picking Pockets? I don't care about artwork and for $17, it's worth getting 2 months early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,318 Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 If you want to listen to the music at the earliest possible time, importing a CD from the UK is not the way to do it.Picking Pockets was supposed to be track #2 on the CD, but was dropped at the last minute from the International Versions of the OST. It is currently unknown if it will be restored for the US OST or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
