Jay 37,340 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well this is interesting. The OST to The Lost World has been in print ever since it came out, always in its original "dinorama" packaging. Well just recently, its finally gone out of print! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000002P6K/ People are selling sealed copies for $15 on the Amazon Market and prices will only go up from there! How ODD that now, of all times, with a new film in theaters, Universal decides to take it out of print! They also took JP and TLW off of Spotify recently, which is annoying. What is Universal thinking? And on top of all this, they won't even let a specialty label issued expanded versions of either score. Boo to Universal!

Sometimes an OST going OOP gives me hope that an expanded release is forthcoming, but I can't imagine that's the case here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,340 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Since Universal expanded Jurassic Park themselves in 2013 overseen by Bouzereau, why would they suddently let a specialty label do The Lost World 2 years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm not saying it will happen, just that I can see it sooner than the first one. Why? Because The Lost World, aside from small core fanbase, isn't as hot of a title.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,340 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Maybe it'll happen like Intrada with that other Universal/Spielberg series, and go in reverse order Jurassic Park 3, then The Lost World... then the original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Well, if they were going to take advantage of a situation, now would obviously have been the best time. Shame they don't appear to be trying to capitalize on this. With the other recent news regarding the higher online traffic of digital downloads for the main theme from the first score, you would think a nice limited release of expanded editions would be gobbled up by collectors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which has a good working relationship with both Universal and Disney. They seem like a legit business. So here's hoping Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The original Jurassic Park is still on Spotify over here. The Lost World hasn't been on it in the year or so that I've been using it though. Couldn't find a new physical copy of TLW anywhere last summer so got a very good 2nd hand copy. Would love an expanded version though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giftheck 916 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hasn't this been out of print for a while?

Bespin 8,480 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Geffen Records seems to be the new division of Universal for soundtracks.And they really seems to be into vinyls and digital downloads for the moment (at least concerning JW soundtracks).I don't think we can expect any CD reissue of Lost World untill 2017.

Incanus 5,714 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Ironically I bought a used copy of TLW a few years ago from a local second hand CD store because I wanted a spare one since my original was ruined by the dinorama packaging (it was still playable though) and the used copy had just a few scracthes on it and wouldn't play properly.

It remove anything to JW's talent, it's a great score (and among his greatests), but by the subject of the movie, it's a darker score than the first one.In USA, Jurassic Park OST is actuallty a Golden record (we must look if the certification will change in the next month).Lost World has no certification in USA.

crumbs 14,306 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Jurassic Park would have to be third to E.T. and Jaws as far as Universal's best-selling JW releases.They did the right thing with the 3D re-release of the first film by expanding the original JP score. I'm holding out hope the immense success of Jurassic World has fast-tracked a 3D re-release of Lost World, if only to cash-in.Who knows, maybe Spielberg/Williams will recommend Matessino to produce a re-release of TLW score?
