Wojo 2,453 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 And up until right now, LLL was selling autographed copies of this score! They fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 And up until right now, LLL was selling autographed copies of this score! They fixed it.Yeah I noticed that too. Anyway I ordered this along with Cutthroat Island (2 CD) and To Kill a Mockingbird via SAE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Judging as much as possible from the 128kbit samples, there really seems to be a clear difference in sound quality compared to the previous Intrada release. The Intrada sounds thinner and more damaged as far as I can tell. I'm slightly worried that details may disappear into the background in the new release, but I hope that's just due to the compression. I definitely want this.

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I trust that Matessino and Hersch have done a good job.The design and art on this one looks, as per usual for LLL, fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brown 91 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm ordering this today. I've been wanting it for a while, but couldn't give in to paying $90-150 for the OOP Intrada release.The clips sound great, especially "The Lonely Victor". LaLaLand always does a nice job with their titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I might sound like a stupid thing to say, but what makes those re-re-releases so hard to resist is the lovely design. Tora! Tora! Tora!, Jane Eyre, Fantastic Voyage - Jim Titus is a devil.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 is that like the 50th release of this score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 But how many of you actually look at the CD once it's on the shelf? Just stick the new artwork on the album in your media player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brown 91 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Good point, Koray.These days, I rip the music as lossless files to my PC and put the CD on a shelf. Occasionally I'll go back to the booklets.Reissues like this are nice for the people who missed the opportunities to buy the music in the past.

King Mark 3,631 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I never play actual c.d.'s anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Well I missed the last editions because they sold out so fast and because I didn't have money to get them right that instant so this new release was more than welcome. I never play actual c.d.'s anymoreSadly physical CDs have become more akin to back-up copies than anything else these days. I really value the specialty label releases not only for the music but also for the brilliant liner notes and gorgeous art direction. But it is true you rarely get the actual discs out to give them a spin after you get the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,000 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 By the way, I've ordered this too. Same reason as you. And, yet again, Jim Titus.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,192 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Indeed. As their number is limited the actual physical release becomes sort of a collectible. Looking at SAE's used prices, I have a shitload of CDs in my collection that seem to go for anything between $50 and over $100 already. Of course I don't know how long it actually takes to sell them for those prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
