Incanus 5,714 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Nice! That 110€ is an obscene amount of money for just one CD though. And I would have waited for a bit for Intrada to release their reworked version of Rambo III. That's what I plan to do. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The thing about Rambo III is the music in the blu-ray main menu sounds much more clear, dynamic and open than the last Intrada release. It was the village raid music. Josh500 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 The thing is this... John Williams: I collect every officially released album, OST or expanded. Jerry Goldsmith: I try to collect every title, meaning I'm satisfied if I own just the OST album. Out of the 80+ JG titles I own, maybe 10 are expanded ones. 56 minutes ago, Incanus said: That 110€ is an obscene amount of money for just one CD though. :p I know, but I don't regret it. It's a great release of a great JW score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tora Tora Tora by Jerry Goldsmith (Expanded) 6. Twilight Zone by Jerry Goldsmith (Expanded) I have no comment on the 'expanded' issue, but this is a pretty good batch. OK, POSEIDON is one of my least favourite JW scores (for one of my dearest nostalgic movies), but it has a few highlight tracks. FIRST BLOOD is a masterpiece, RAMBO III is fun, TWILIGHT ZONE -- esp. the original soundtrack -- is a varied and engaging score. TORA is JG in semi-abrasive mode, but fascinating. VANISHING, I'm not familiar with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I paid $150 for the 1994 Godzilla Symphonic Concert 40th Anniversary CD. It was rare and extremely hard to find, so I just dived on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Come on, guys, €110 is, at today's exchange rate, £85. That's not that bad considering a pair of men's Timberland boots would, on most UK high streets, set you back anything between £120, and £150. As @Josh500 says: it's a great score. Will he get €110's worth of listen? Only he knows for sure, but, to the collector, these CDs are an investment. I say"well done".

I'm a collector, and sometimes you just gotta spend a little more (there are people in this world that collect cars, luxury watches, expensive art etc.). What's 110 Euros, if it's something I'll really enjoy and treasure? On the other hand, I also regularly get many great soundtrack albums at bargain prices, so it all balances out.

The First Editions of famous, classic old books by, say, Shakespeare, Tolkien, George Orwell, or Charles Dickens. Some people are willing to spend a FORTUNE on them (hundreds of thousands of Euros). Why? Because they are big fans, they are collectors, they are passionate lovers of art. But you will never get that, do you? Why spend so much money if you can just buy the cheapest current paperback edition for 10 Euros! Right? 1 hour ago, Bilbo said: LLL will probably reissue it now though so thanks! Doesn't matter.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 There are few moments in a Goldsmith score as basass as when Rambo rides underneath the tank in Rambo III. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely do get the whole collecting thing. Bloodboal (God rest his cheese munching surrendering soul) used to take the piss out of me all the time for me ridiculous number of copies of the Hobbit but I think I’ve outgrown that sort of thing if I’m honest. I’ve tried to be a completist in many things and tbh I don’t think it’s worth. The hunt is a big part of it but once the thrill subsides it’s just stuff.

If you don't feel the thrill anymore, then stop. Others do feel the thrill, and some of us feel the thrill of collecting (that moment of adding to your treasured collection, that moment of spending an INSANE amount of money just for your passion) our entire lives. It's neither good nor bad, just something to do in our lives. And if we can afford it, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 You should get the expansion of The Ghost and the Darkness. The actual score blows you away unlike the OST recording. Amer and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,598 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The OST is in fact the same recording (I think the last time Goldsmith did a separate recording for album was Masada in 1981), but I agree the score is quite badass in complete form.
