The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Well they were temporarily out of stock for a few months, then they announced that the last 200 copies were going. Perhaps avid collectors have a certain number they like to get it down to before they decide to act quickly. I'm glad you got yours, but that would've been much to close a call for my liking. I ordered as soon as it was back in stock. Here's hoping you get speedy shipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Well I only found about these sorts of things since I joined JW Fan, and I was trying to decide what to buy first. Before I knew it E.T. was, as I said, temporarily out of stock, so I had to wait a little while. After that time though, I came up with an order of importance. Close Encounters will be next, I think, but I'm content with E.T. for a good while. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Don't rub it in. I missed the JP collection completely, and I wanted both scores too! I think Bespin promised that should anything unforeseen occur that I could have his copy, and it seems Bilbo has slain him over in Ireland. A terrible loss, but I gain something I suppose.

Then I at least have some good news for you: the expanded JP doesn't add anything substantial. 1 minute ago, bollemanneke said: I said "something I wanted". Well, you did say earlier that you regretted it a bit when it sold out. Or was that comment just for the expanded JP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,338 Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 I did regret it a bit when I revisited the OST a few weeks ago, but honestly still don't really care. When I ask myself, would I ever have taken TLW out of the box, sat down and played it, I still resolutely answer no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I would have liked to use the top row, second from the left, for my music library. Too bad he didn't include a larger image of that one. crlbrg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 It's similar to the artwork I put together myself. I feel like the bike over the moon is the best image to represent the film, plus it represents the most memorable moments of the score (flying bikes).

Smeltington 1,436 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I like the concept, although something about the execution doesn't work for me. I guess it doesn't matter much, since I'll probably never play the physical disc again, given that it's out of order. Generally I like Titus' approach to most projects, but his cover images can be hit or miss for me, depending what liberties he takes and how "photoshopped" they look. It's a tough job though, given all the constraints of this type of work, so I give him credit for his efforts. Usually all the other elements, like the tracklisting, booklet, etc are solid.

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I guess they'll either have to remove a bonus track or release the album on cassette. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,304 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 The 5000 units seemed to sell out pretty quickly. I can see the appeal of licensing another ~3000 units, it's a very prestigious release to have under your label's banner. 6 hours ago, Jurassic Shark said: I guess they'll either have to remove a bonus track or release the album on cassette. I'm confused by those rules about having to change the tracklist or whatever for any subsequent pressings. That seems to be implemented very inconsistently. I'm still waiting to see what Intrada do with Jaws' tracklist for that new pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be implemented very inconsistently. I'm still waiting to see what Intrada do with Jaws' tracklist for that new pressing. My guess is that the union wants a bigger cut of the income the more units are sold, because of the bigger margins when the "development" costs have been earned. So up to 5000 units they agrees on a certain price. If the speciality label wants to press more after that, they'll either have to pay a higher fee or create a "new" product so they can start counting from zero again. Just my two cents.

crumbs 14,304 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 You're probably right, that would explain the tracklist altering (some type of loophole). Risky strategy with soundtrack collectors though. I wouldn't buy a new edition of Jaws if most of the bonus content was removed. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 This is all Roger said about why they were re-issuing Jaws with the bonus tracks removed: Quote Because we hit the AFM max and in order to keep it in print we needed to reconfigure the program. Seemed like the easiest alteration. http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=81759&sid=6d6a2cbb6d0e85317fcdaa2e9871a1b0#p81759 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
