MattyO 72 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I'm going now, so that by the time I get this set it isn't completely ruined by this insufferable whinging. Far out! There's lots more I want to say, but I don't want to regret it later. I will be back, but right now I need a break from this board.
fommes 165 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Wait, the film edit is a mess, or the CD version?The film version of course.
indy4 160 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It still hasn't arrived yet!
Kevin McCallister 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Wow, leave for a few days and the thread skyrockets!Has anyone else noticed that the opening of the "unreleased" part of "Indy's Very First Adventure" is still different from the film?
indy4 160 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 42 hours since this set was released, and I am still lacking it!
paleo 78 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 No packet for me today Thank you USPS! Guess I should never have cancelled my order from Amazon. Another day of waiting...
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 You guys are still talking about this thing?
tjguitar 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 What type of shipping does Amazon use?free shipping = USPS Media Mail
MikeyKW 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It looks like this has been delayed -- again -- in Canada, until Nov. 25th. I think I'll be heading across the borderthis weekend. Has anyone seen this available at any "real" stores?
Taikomochi 1,460 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Wait, the film edit is a mess, or the CD version?The film version of course.Oh good. You had me worried. I hadn't seen any discussion about the track that might alude to it bein gbad, but still, I've not heard it yet, so it could be good or horrible.
indy4 160 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 It looks like this has been delayed -- again -- in Canada, until Nov. 25th. I think I'll be heading across the borderthis weekend. Has anyone seen this available at any "real" stores?I think somebody said they saw it in a Best Buy, but for 60 dollars.

Has anyone seen this available at any "real" stores?Going to another country just to get some CD's. That has to be a first.
indy4 160 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I don't think MikeyKW is coming to the USA just to get the set.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Most likely, but I'm listening to some good ol' Temple Of Doom, and you're not! Muahahahah!
indy4 160 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 Most likely, but I'm listening to some good ol' Temple Of Doom, and you're not! Muahahahah!You betrayed Shiva!
MikeyKW 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 I don't think MikeyKW is coming to the USA just to get the set.Pretty much ... I'll also pick up a few cases of Cherry Coke and a few dozen Krispy Kremeto make it a little less pathetic. I did it a few years ago as well when the Bond scoundtrackswere reissued. And that was in February, during a snowstorm.
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Wow, leave for a few days and the thread skyrockets!Has anyone else noticed that the opening of the "unreleased" part of "Indy's Very First Adventure" is still different from the film?yesIt looks like this has been delayed -- again -- in Canada, until Nov. 25th. I think I'll be heading across the borderthis weekend. Has anyone seen this available at any "real" stores?I knew it .Same deal than the KotCS OST.

Has anyone seen this available at any "real" stores?Going to another country just to get some CD's. That has to be a first.Canada is not far from US. I used to do that too .And get me some Taco Bell.I did a straight through listen of ToD .2 tracks are mixed at too low volume:Slalom on Mt humolShort Round Helps (as mentionned before)The volume needs to be adjusted in itunes or an editor
John McClane 1 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Ahahah...I just started listening to the interviews and it sounded sooo familiar...guess what, it's the same interview of the 2003 Bonus DVD!!!Well at least there's something new towards the end...The rest of the set is just awesome, I'm still not completely realizing that this is all true...I dreamed this for so many years that it's so weird that it's finaly happened...listening expecially to Last Crusade...finally high quality music after many many years of listening the same music in low quality!!
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Yeah, it depends. If you have absolute pitch, it would be an assault on the ears. Most people (myself included) don't.Not really, not to me, anyways. Though I can certainly detect the pitch issues ( I think it is needless to say that I found a certain package waiting for me at home), it really is not that bad. The actual sound quality of the Box Set is simply superb, as you have stated, and I am completely happy with my purchase. I would like to give my sympathies to those who must wait. And, Fraulein Lohner: the scores are not "unlistenable". Quite the contrary. Of course, my opinion may be influenced by the fact that I have never listened to these scores outside of their respected films.
Joe Brausam 234 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 So...apparently the inventor of Audacity is giving a lecture at my college tonight at 7pm, an hour too late for me now!He's also going to be a guest soloist with our jazz band on Saturday - perhaps I should give him the Indy set..
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well,it seems people who ordered the set in China get it faster than Canada . 2 weeks delay is totally unacceptable..but I'm putting my money on December 2I am inches away from canceling Amazon,ca and paying 10$ more to get it from SAE
ManofDestiny 104 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 My set shipped!Greetings from Amazon.com. We thought you'd like to know that we shipped this portion ofyour order separately to give you quicker service. You won't be chargedany extra shipping fees, and the remainder of your order will follow assoon as those items become available. Item Subtotal: $41.99 Shipping and handling: $6.49 EB Pre-order Guarantee: $0.00 Total: $48.48Well,it seems people who ordered the set in China get it faster than Canada .If you are talking about me, than I have to say, I order the set from Amazon US, but not from China (in fact, Amazon China is not selling the set). Also, Hong Kong is an international city with really fast international shipping. My order from intrada, Varese, SAE, Amazon, England (My EL CID copy), or Japan usually takes only one week. However, if order ship to the China mainland, it would takes longer I suppose.
tjguitar 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well at least there's something new towards the end...Which is ?
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I was just making vague exagerations...
pixie_twinkle 60 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I arrived home today and there was a package waiting for me! I tore it open and.... "The Complete Piano Music of Percy Grainger!!!!" Forgot I ordered that in all the excitement about the Indy CD set. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow.
John McClane 1 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well at least there's something new towards the end...Which is ?The part referred to Crystal Skull...I didn't know that even a couple of tracks on Crystal Skull were expanded...or it's just on the boot (since it exceed the 80 minutes limit)? The sound quality is great, though.Even if I waited years for all of this, I'm too much curious and could resist and got the mp3s...it will help me untill I buy the actual box-set.
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 KotCS is not expanded .It's only expanded if you put the extra tracks from the DVD previzOk ,anyone knows if SAE has the box IN STOCK ?..it would say on the website if they ran out, right?
mstrox 7,348 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Got this in the mail yesterday, and the first thing I listened to was "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Sounds pretty good. More Indiana-Jonesy than I remembered (except for the Latin source music, which really breaks up the album IMO).
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 So,after waiting 25 years to hear ToD expanded ,you listen to Crystal Skull first?
indy4 160 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Some people avoided buying the KotCS OST to avoid double dipping later on.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I knew it was gonna get released with the set, but I bought it anyway. Only $10 on Amazon. I love this set. I just love nice fancy boxes. Of course the price isn't very nice, but once you receive it you tend to forget all that and just drink it all in.
John Crichton 4 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 What a time this is. I'm listening to cues that I have been waiting for what seems like forever to have properly on CD, no bootleg or DVD rip, and I've only been a serious Williams fan since 2000. This is one of the good days people, maybe we can avoid nitpicking this thing to death for a bit to remember that.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I thought you were one of the older people who have been waiting for this for 20 years We've been JW fans for the same amount of time.
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 EDIT: Responding to Herr Crichton....Seriously! I am currently on Track 7 of "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", and I can say that I am in a near-state of euphoria.
indy4 160 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I knew it was gonna get released with the set, but I bought it anyway. Only $10 on Amazon. I love this set. I just love nice fancy boxes. Of course the price isn't very nice, but once you receive it you tend to forget all that and just drink it all in.42 dollars...that sounds good to me! 42 divided by 5 is $8.40 per CD...that's a fantastic price! Not to mention the special packaging.This is one of the good days people, maybe we can avoid nitpicking this thing to death for a bit to remember that. Cheers to that!
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I thought you were one of the older people who have been waiting for this for 20 years laugh.gif We've been JW fans for the same amount of time.he said serious Williams fan
John McClane 1 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 So,after waiting 25 years to hear ToD expanded ,you listen to Crystal Skull first?Probably he's just a last-minute fan...Yeah Mark I guessed that it was only on the mp3s these few extra tracks, since it exceeded the 80 minutes limit...
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I thought you were one of the older people who have been waiting for this for 20 years laugh.gif We've been JW fans for the same amount of time.he said serious Williams fanI am a serious JWFan, thank you.
John Crichton 4 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I thought you were one of the older people who have been waiting for this for 20 years Feels like it sometimes. John- who would have gladly paid twice as much for this set
Nick Parker 3,049 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Nick Parker- Who would not be glad to pay twice as much.
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 I would have gladly paid as well, but it's still money I wish I had. I am the poorest I've ever been in like my entire life. I've got $12 in my wallet.
King Mark 3,975 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Well,I'm about to pay 10$ more to get it before Nov 25 or whatever it is now
Red 75 Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 Some people avoided buying the KotCS OST to avoid double dipping later on.That's what I did.
