[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

for the better

[pixie_twinkle 60]

I haven't seen anything about quantities. Is this an unlimited release? It would be nice to buy this at my leisure rather than the usual mad scramble the minute it becomes abailable to ensure getting a copy.

[Jay 46,242]

The quantity has not been announced yet, but yes it is limited.

[pixie_twinkle 60]

Mad scramble then. I definitely want this.

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

great...this goes on sale just when im seeing star trek into darkness at the cinema... i hope it lasts one hour....

[Jay 46,242]

Are you kidding? At 3500 units it will last for years!

[King Mark 3,975]

Limited to 3500? I don't think it'll sell out fast

Goes for sale the day as the new Xbox announcement

[Luke Skywalker 2,383]

Are you kidding? At 3500 units it will last for years!

oh of course, it is a Williams release

[filmmusic 3,269]

Hook hasn't sold out yet, has it?

So, yes, i assume this'll stay for long..

[Jay 46,242]

Hook was limited to 5,000 copies

[Incanus 5,890]

Still it seems very difficult to correctly gauge the popularity of a limited release. Of course the larger pressings last longer. I don't think any of the 10 000 unit releases like Black Sunday have sold out. Also the small pressing fuels buying frenzy when dedicated fans of a composer flock to buy it immediately instead of waiting in fear of not being able get it in time. Space Camp is one of those as was The Long Goodbye.

My guess is that 3500 for Rosewood will last for a good while.

[Jay 46,242]

It definitely will.

[Incanus 5,890]

I am still amazed that Hook hasn't sold out.

[Jay 46,242]

Me too! I thought it would only last a few months.

I think it if it was released just a few years earlier it would have sold out sooner. But nowadays there are just SO MANY new releases EVERY SINGLE month, people have a hard time keeping up and have to pass on some

Yeah the saturation of the market of which e.g. Lukas Kendall has talked about has really affected the film music collecting.

[Jay 46,242]

I think the pros outweigh the cons. Because even though many people can't afford to own all the physical CDs coming out, all this great music is being properly restored and archived by professional experts, and will live on forever in digital form. I think we are not far from all these sold out limited edition CDs showing up for legal purchase on online music stores. Some of them already have.

Oh I agree. Pros definitely outweigh the cons. Especially the film music preservation stand point is historically important.

[Jay 46,242]

Of course, I can say this as someone with enough disposable income to get any of the LE CDs that come out that I want. 10 years ago when I had less money, if the market was then what it is now I would have been complaining more

[indy4 160]

The pros definitely outweigh the cons for the consumer, it's more the businesses that Kendall was talking about. Although labels are incentivized to release CDs in smaller units (ie 1000) to encourage people to buy them, so that could be a pretty big con depending on the consumer/release.

[Jay 46,242]

Right. I'm not surprised at all that Lukas shut down FSM, and I wouldn't be surprised if more than one of the other current labels is closed within the next 5 years.

On top of everything else, the well is drying up - there are less and less scores remaining unreleased all the time. Between the 7 film music specialty labels, there are probably 200 score releases a year!

And some scores are simply and sadly lost.

Ordered along with The Fury.

Worked for me:

[Omen II 1,300]

I put in the discount code JWSUCKS when checking out and they charged me $29.98 instead of $24.98. Where did I go wrong?

[Incanus 5,890]

Btw this album will ship on 28th of May.

Judging by the clips I would wager that the actual score on CD 1 will be somewhat a revelation in comparison with the OST.

Heh sorry Jason. I was too excited to order to notice such obvious things.

And this purchase concludes my May JW binge.

[Jay 46,242]

It'll still probably arrive before Heidi for me

It'll still probably arrive before Heidi for me

I ordered a couple of CDs from Amazon.UK and SAE at the same time and funnily enough the SAE package arrived first. Let's hope LLL delivery is equally fast.

I like that design very much.

ordered!

(i forgot to do it yesterday!)

[Miguel Andrade 1,725]

Ordered as well.

As for the design, very nice work, going by the samples. Though I would have made some other choices... but that's just me.

i don't like at all the WB logo.

it makes it look like a Christmas wrapping or something..

[Jay 46,242]

Well you can't blame Dan Goldwasser, Warm Butter Designs, or La-La Land for the WB logo being there. You can only blame WB themselves.

Quite frankly I'd rather have a series of WB releases come out this year in honor of their 90th anniversary with a goofy logo on the CD covers, than no WB releases at all.

Think about all the great WB movies that haven't had expanded scores yet... there's quite a few juicy ones!
