BigMacGyver 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Play.com has John William's The Witches of Eastwick up for pre-order. It seems to be due for release on 17/04/2006.A reissue? Looks like it. Expanded? Doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Fett 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 There's a 17th month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 That would be fantastic news, it's one of the Williams scores, along with Dracula and Spacecamp that I would really love to own. Let's hope it's true.About the date, maybe they're using the same format we use in Mexico with the day first and the month second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 There's a 17th month?Lol, no but it is a UK site and in europe the day stands before the month. For americans it would be 04/17/06 Can't wait for this one even if its just a simple re-issue. I was looking for this score way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 If this is true, I'll get it, expanded or not. Perhaps I'll appreciate it more if I have an original copy. Though I'd be very happy if they'd at least remaster it.Marian - who thinks the sound on the old release sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I think this is a mis-labelled re-recording of the musical soundtrack with a new cast......I heard there was going to be one......I hope I'm wrong...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I hope you're right! I want my original Warner CD of the OST to retain it's value! ZAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana_Fett 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I'd rather have a re-issue of an old release than nothing at all. I hope it's not what Greg mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was just joking of course. I paid a lot for my CD, yes, but I still think music as great as that should be available to everyone at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I hope its a reissue and it gets here. I have neither seen the movie nor heard the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crichton 4 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 This could be cool. The only Eastwick I have right now is one of the boots, from the DVD iso score I think. I'd gladly pay for an expanded/complete official release.John- who would do the same for any boot/DVD rip/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I haven't got anything at the moment, except a suite ("Dance of the Witches") and the ballroom/balloon sequence tracks on my iPod (and they're simply fantastic) so this is extraordinarily exciting for me!

Incanus 5,713 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 If this is true then this is most wonderful news! I have been wanting this score for so long time now. I have the bootleg but nothing beats the original soundtrack release. I really wish this is true.But is there any way to confirm this? If it is just some silly musical that has been accidentally labeled as Williams CD it will be very disappointing and one reason more to crucify the personel of these internet retailers!

Don't you understand the gravity of this situation? How would you react when you hear that the value of your property went titanic?! No, no, no! Today, they are rare collectables, worth lots of money. It ads extra value to the CD and makes it more attractive. If I see them in every outlet store tomorrow, the extra value will be completely lost ... Mmm, Lost. What a great show.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The original cd release will always be valuable, even after the reissue. The Polydor release of Raiders of the Lost Ark is still valuable on e-bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Doesn't matter to me I paid $4.00 bucks for a used copy of Eastwick.

Richard Penna 3,662 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 I find it hard to believe that this is some sort of joke - so what if it's 'shipping on April 1st' - coincidence?I'm definitely interested in this if it is the real thing and if the content will be the same as the bootleg (with the alternates of Destruction of Daryl and the Ballroom Scene).
