scallenger 665 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Uh oh... the fact that it is already posted on Aint It Cool News may make this thing sell a bit faster, heh. Not that 10,000 copies will sell out in even a month, but still. This is a BIG deal, as we all know. I'd definitely try and get it within the first 2 months of release, just in case. Anyone else think so?
Jay 46,244 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 At 10,000 copies, it won't sell out before their license expires, I will guarantee it. It's as good as unlimited.
scallenger 665 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Alright, Jason. I just don't always know the power of certain fanbases. Sometimes people go ballistic! lol.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 At 10,000 copies, it won't sell out before their license expires, I will guarantee it.Derp derp derp!
Jay 46,244 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Alright, Jason. I just don't always know the power of certain fanbases. Sometimes people go ballistic! lol.It took 4 months to sell 5,000 copies of Star Trek V, which while being a less popular score than V, also never had a prior expansion. This one is more expensive than Trek V, plus already had a prior expansion that is far most cost effective than this new CD.I predict it will sell 5,000 copies by the time the holidays are over, and then just be a solid earner every year until their license expires. We'll never see a low quantity alert.While it IS one of the most popular film scores of all time on top of being a Star Trek score, there's still only so many people that buy $35 expansions of scores to 33 year old movies.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Angela Morley's orchestrations are superb!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 It was Morley who wrote out the full theme after Robert Wise was not satisfied with Jerry's early versions.
Andy 7,730 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Awesome. THIS is what I call a true special edition. THIS is how I define unwarranted!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Is this a good score?No absolutely not.It is the BEST score!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Tell us the story once again Joe, about going to see this film in 79, and hearing that score!
MrJosh 1,205 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Looks like amazing work by La La Land and Botnick. I cannot wait to get my hands on this! I'm almost drooling.
Romão 2,473 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 This is how you do a deluxe edition of classic score (cough cough Spartacus cough cough)
Crimson Nagus 55 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 And I thought Hook was my holy grail but, I think I'm more excited for this!! June 5th, why art thou coming so slow?
Trent B 354 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Uh oh... the fact that it is already posted on Aint It Cool News may make this thing sell a bit faster, heh.

Anyone else think so?It'll also be on The Digital Bits. I posted on Bill Hunt's Facebook wall earlier suggesting he mention this on his site.
Williamsfan301 12 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 So, what's on this that isn't on the 20th Anniversary release. If I'm going to shell out the 40.00, and all I'm getting is 2 or 3 new tracks and the original album release - which I already have - and ticking off the wife cause I have YET ANOTHER release of this soundtrack (she doesn't get why I already have two versions of the same thing), I'd like to know that there is a ton of new, good stuff on it that hasn't been out there before.
Jay 46,244 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 There is a ton of new, good stuff on it that hasn't been out there before.
KittBash 361 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 While it IS one of the most popular film scores of all time on top of being a Star Trek score, there's still only so many people that buy $35 expansions of scores to 33 year old movies.There may not be that many but I proudly count myself as one of them... Holy smokes this looks good!
Williamsfan301 12 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Hope so, cause I really want this! But, now I have to chose between this and the First Contact expanded release. Poo...
Jay 46,244 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Well both are practically unlimited at 10,000 copies, so you have plenty of time to get them when you can fit it into your budget. Can always ask for them as presents too:)
Neimoidian 15 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thank God I am not interested in this. Both Chinatown and Jane Eyre are enough for me for a time being, given current $ level compared to Zloty and general shortage of money due to other expenses.
Trent B 354 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Can always ask for them as presents too:)Indeed. Williamsfan301, you definitely won't regret getting this release. As Jason said it'll have a wealth of new music that has never been released before.Thank God I am not interested in this. Please tell me you're joking.
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Christ, just let the man have his opinion and save himself some money.
Jay 46,244 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 Yes. Everyone likes and dislikes different scores, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Neimoidian 15 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thank God I am not interested in this.Please tell me you're joking.No, I am not, at least for now. Star Trek TMP is far from being my favourite Goldsmith's score or even Star Trek score for that matter (I prefer Horner's TWOK), I already have the original album which I am wine with, besides I find Chinatown and Jane Eyre more essential purchases especially being short on money. I don't discard the idea of buying this set, but I am in no need to do it in the near future.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Chinatown and Jane Eyre are cheap mangy, crab infested whores compared to the Grace Kelley that is TMP.
shockwave 8 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Same here!Ditto but so worth it! Kind of speechless.....
crocodile 9,724 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 It looks like Aint It Cool News was sent a nice high-res image of the front cover:Source: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/55816Looks really handsome, this cover. The best version of this artwork yet.And yeah, this score is a must. Moreso than V. It just flows beautifully, largely because it underscores long and silent sequences and pretty much carries the whole film in its shoulders. It is as good as film music gets. And yeah, I'm stating the obvious.Karol
Richard P 5,303 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thank God I am not interested in this.Please tell me you're joking.Ugh.While I don't share Neimoidan's disinterest, I'm not actively planning to buy this either. Got a few tracks, but most of it doesn't click.How will you cope with such news?
Brónach 1,330 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Oh my poor unemployed wallet!While I don't share Neimoidan's disinterest, I'm not actively planning to buy this either. Got a few tracks, but most of it doesn't click.How will you cope with such news? That was my first reaction. Then one day I listened to it and suddenly "got it". I don't understand anymore why it didn't click with me. Now it evokes on me emotions that not many scores do. It has that edge of sheer adventure like Herrmann's Journey to the Center of the Earth and the like. I listen to it, and I remember something Carl Sagan said: "Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known".
Admiral Holdo 16 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thank God I am not interested in this.Please tell me you're joking.Ugh.While I don't share Neimoidan's disinterest, I'm not actively planning to buy this either.

King Mark 3,975 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm buying this, whatever the price. I might order Jane Eyre at the same time
Luke Skywalker 2,384 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 This thread gives me an erection...i was going to mention the spine of the covers look...gay...
The Dark Trilogy 40 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 This is one of the mysterious things, which I cannot understand... why want a complete score of this one?The original album is a bit underrepresented, okay I can understand. I prefer Goldsmith's vision, where he chose tracks to expand the score in 1998, but even in the expanded edition some tracks are redundant. Apart from that, this score is not that good.So I am not interested. I pass.
Brónach 1,330 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 but even in the expanded edition some tracks are redundant. Apart from that, this score is not that good. With that there, I wouldn't know how too explain it to you. People want a complete version of this because a)The score sounds amazing and sweeping and intriguing and beautiful b) The score doesn't actually feel redundant, but short!I want to get lost in its soundscape but it doesn't let me. This is the reason why, despite being one of my absolute favourite scores, I don't go through it that much. I can't stand learning it by heart. I want that gorgeous feeling of listening to for the first few times.
The Dark Trilogy 40 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 That's understandable. What you mentioned is the sound that you really like about it.But I also follow the intention of the composer and this three disc set is definitely not.
