No, I don't have the FSM CD for Paper Chase / Conrack /Poseidon either Of course, I have the LLL Poseidon Adventure CD, so that's sorted. Hopefully the other two, very short scores will be reissued with something else from Fox at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I never really missed out on anything I truly wanted. I picked up the FSM TOWERING INFERNO straight off the bat, for example, which then rose to values of hundreds of dollars in the following years (now soon to be devalued, I suppose, when a new edition comes out). But in later years, I've decided to get a few expansions, like TOM SAWYER, GOODBYE MR. CHIPS and possibly also HEIDI. Not because I'm displeased with the original albums, of course, but because their packaging and remastering seem tempting, and I can program the album tracks based on the original in all cases. But they've been somewhat difficult to find in the price range I can afford. In short -- not really a 'latecomer regret', but rather a 'newcomer curiousity'.

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 The only Williams titles this happened to me with were the Kritzerland Missouri Breaks and the La-La Land The Fury, but I eventually found copies of both. Oh, and the La-La Land Poseidon Adventure, too, I guess; still haven't tracked that one down, but since I've got the one from FSM I'm not too bothered by that.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The Reivers needs a reissue or expansion so badly. It's one of my favorite Williams scores and I've never been able to own it legitimately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of Goodbye Mr. Chips, the friend who hepled me to hear it, as a preview only, has it in very poor quality... For now, it's the greatest drama of my life. I'd love to buy the CD set if it was reissued! In fact, the only quality thing I have actually about Goodbye Mr. Chips is an audio restoration of the promo LP I made myself using the rip of another good friend. It contains alt cues that are not even on the 3-CD set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rick 1,157 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The only one's I've missed out on that I wanted are BTTF (2-disc) and Star Trek 2009 deluxe 2-disc. BTTF isn't too bad of a price on the secondary market but for some weird reason ST '09 deluxe is crazy expensive. This was during my soundtrack "dark times" so I wasn't as actively updating myself with new and expanded releases. I used to have a bunch of JW cds that I decided to rip them to hard drive and sell the cds used to earn some $$ but now I'm finding myself buying them back up on eBay at $4-$5 a pop to get them back in my collection I'm still somewhat "old school", mp3 is nice but still prefer the music on disc. I did miss out on the Superman blue box when they had the 50% off sale that I'm now kicking myself for not getting it then. I have the Rhino release from 2000 and don't feel like paying $120 for the box set, I'll just have to put it on a birthday or Christmas wish list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 The Superman box set is not exactly overpriced considering the content. However, if you're only in it for Superman: The Movie like I was, I guess you've got to just take it in the ass. Besides, ever since I got mine autographed by John Williams, its value has increased beyond that of any other copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I didn't realize it was ever expensive. A good technique for OOP titles is to bookmark Amazon pages and check them periodically. There's always someone posting it at a reasonable price to actually sell it. I remember years ago, I got The Fury for $20 new sealed and I was so fucking pleased with myself. I'm looking now and a lot of the formerly insanely-priced CDs are going for far more reasonable prices. For instance, you can get Dracula and Earthquake for 30-something bucks.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 The cheapest offer of Dracula has always been more than 100€ on german Amazon. But for one day it was there for 12€!!!
