I don't think there any exceptional sale prices, no. It's just a day they announce some of their biggest titles of the year. "Blowout" would be a hyperbolic way to describe it.

Bespin 8,477 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Welcome in the world of Expanded editions! As far as I'm concerned, all the LLL JW's releases that are still in print are worth the price. The only thing that is frustrating is, like me, you seem to have started your collection too late... as many Expanded releases became sold out! Now, I have learned.... I buy each expanded releases when they are just released... so my advice is: start with the more recent releases... and dig for older ones after. I don't know if you know my website... you can search for the term "la-la land" in the albums page and quickly browse into all the JW releases: http://www.goplanete.com/johnwilliams/music/disco/albums.htm bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,477 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I never looked for Hook, as it seems not to reach the modern standards of Expanded Editions, as we know them today. A definitive edition is still yet to be released. Look for the A.I. set too, that's a must-have. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Yes, whatever you do, don't waste your money on Hook! Regarding Black Friday, does Intrada have a similar event? Also, this might be a little off-topic, but as we're talking about it anyway... If LLL announces something I want on Black Friday, can I order that same day? Or does the actual ordering process start later? And do I have to be really quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get announced on Black Friday (Friday, November 24th) usually at 12:00 AM PST They go up for sale Tuesday, November 28th, at 12:00 PM PST. And no label has had a new release sell out quickly for years now. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I remember Inchon selling out within a few days. But I guess they only did 1000 or so. Yeah these days that seems rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say - in my view - waiting for an expansion to be released, so the complete score is your first impression of it, is not the best way to get to know a score. Rather then, to buy the OST, to get to know the score intimately, to hear and get to know score, to live with it and let it become part of your life. Once the expansion comes a long, it’ll mean so much more. Buying an OST isn’t wasted money, it’s an investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The OST is the one i go for if I feel like hook. Its got all the highlights, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Buying the Hook OST is indeed worth it. Also, why did they even make this imperfect expansion? Wouldn't it have been wiser to wait until all the material had cropped up before doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I don't like listening to the score without "Pirates!" and "Hook Challenges Peter" personally. I feel their absence when I listen to the OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yes, especially Tink's material in the longer cue is a highlight for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own the OST CD and an... evaluation copy of the expanded set... which I never listen to, honestly. I always listen to the OST, and yes I know it is far from being satisfactory! One day, a new set will be released... I'll be there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rough cut 1,714 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Good to hear everybody proclaim their love for Hook, OST or not, but no surprises there really. However my point wasn’t about Hook per se. There seemed to be consensus on the point that it’d better to hold out for an expanded edition, rather than opening your wallet and buy an OST, because then you’d be buying a “lesser” album since an expansion might drop any time and then your money will have been “wasted”. I don’t agree with that kind of reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I truly hope the LLL two disc of Hook is all we ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,337 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I didn't say that. I said that investing in the current LLL edition is a waste of money. The OST is a different matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Yeah sure, it depends from case to case and from person to person! But! My advice, is that if you love a score, don’t waste time waiting for an “ultimate” release. If there’s only an OST, get the OST. If you love the Hook OST, get the current LLL expansion. It might not be perfect but there’s some lovely music on there that you’re missing out on while waiting for an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are two scores, so badly represented on the OST that I don't even listen to them although I own them. In this case it makes no difference.
