Brundlefly 2,382 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Raggedy Man: Encore Edition With our Encore Edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s beautiful Raggedy Man score, the CD Club comes full circle. Raggedy Man (1981) is one of Goldsmith’s most delicate and gentle scores. It was one of the scores that inspired the creation of the Varèse Sarabande CD Club in the first place and became the seventh release in the series, in the spring of 1991. That limited edition has been out of print ever since. It’s been unavailable for 28 years! Making a curtain call and providing the final encore for the CD Club's "Encore" series, it is only appropriate that Jerry Goldsmith takes us out. Do not miss this very special and historic release! While World War II rages overseas, a divorced mother of two, Nita Longley (Sissy Spacek), struggles to makes ends meet as a telephone operator in small-town Texas. As the subject of disdainful gossip due to her divorce, Nita faces a lonely existence of ostracism, where only the unscrupulous approach her -- often with ill intent. When she befriends Teddy (Eric Roberts), a sailor on leave, her situation improves, but he's soon sent to war. Once again, Nita must face her plight alone. Main Title (3:53) Henry & Harry (5:11) Number Please (4:34) The Kite (4:40) Runaways (6:28) Mexican Tune (2:57) End of Calvin (3:54) End Title (2:09) Not what I primarily wanted, but the samples sound quite promising. What's your opinion? I don't know the score at all. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Why is it called Raggedy Man if the story's about a lady? Did they think it wouldn't be as marketable if the title was more feminine? Like how Disney changed it from Rapunzel to the gender-neutral Tangled, or Snow Queen to Frozen?

Frank Vincent 219 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 According to Varèse Sarabande on Facebook over 500 copies of Raggedy Man have already been sold. Yavar Moradi and 1977 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,382 Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 1000 copies is simply too little for Goldsmith! Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,082 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's a a curiously low number of pressings for a Goldsmith score that has been out of print for so long. Ordered. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,053 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 One of the few Goldsmith releases I never got, I had a feeling it would be part of Townson’s last batch. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Well if this sells out by Monday I'm screwed. If they've sold 500, does that include all the ones going out to retailers? Or does those come out of the remaining 500? 1000 units is way too few. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,515 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 It includes titles sold to other retailers, so even if it’s sold out by Monday from Varese, you will still probably be able to order from SAE or Intrada, for additional $5 surcharge (their entire profit, since Varese does not do wholesale prices for retailers on any of their Club releases).

1977 1,743 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Thanks Yavar, that's a relief. Raggedy Man is a very noticeable gap in my JG collection Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,615 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I thought I had this in itunes or something but no I think I used to see this c.d. in stores back in the 90's but never got it because it was too short or not in my priority list. That's why it seems familiar yet I don't have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,053 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’m too lazy to look but I believe Varèse posted the other day on Facebook that the orders would start shipping this week and that they had a bunch to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
