so bloodboal, I take it you don't want a case? I mean... you'd have to reveal your name... AND your location.

or perhaps you're ready for that?

I can make my own case, thank you very much.

I knew you would say something like that! tsk tsk, so predictable.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Make one for Bloodball, then send it to me so i will have two, and ill post pictures of my TWO cases in his PM box daily

[Wojo 2,458]

Careful Alice, he could turn out to be the creepy guy watching you next door

Cue the Rockwell. One hit wonder time.

Jazz Beginnings

Anything Goes (2002)

The Hobbit (Special Editon)

Silence of the Lambs

I'm especially excited for Jazz Beginnings!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,386]

Its a good album.

I decided to fill a few important gaps in my collection, things I wanted for some time now, but never ordered (for whatever reason). Coincidentally, all the films were released in 1985, the year I was born. Which is something I noticed after placing the order from Intrada.

Good stuff, Croc! My appreciation for JW's 90s drama scores has grown a great deal in the past couple of years.

Silverado is great fun, too.

[Quintus 6,494]

Bought John Williams Filmworks on Amazon for 1p. Thought it'd make a decent car cd.

[Incanus 5,890]

That is a great compilation Lee. You won't regret getting it (especially at that price).

[crocodile 9,724]

It's a nice album. Quite different from a typical JW compilation as well, as it contains some of the less known material.

Karol

[Incanus 5,890]

It offers quite a wide range of music from his career but of course it is limited to his Universal titles for the most part. But it is great that it has some of the less known titles like The Eiger Sanction, Dracula, River and Midway on it.

[crocodile 9,724]

Which reminds me: I've never listened to Jaws 2 apart from the track that is on that album.

Karol

[Incanus 5,890]

You should rectify that ASAP! Jaws 2 is a terrific score.

[KK 3,313]

You should rectify that ASAP! Jaws 2 is a terrific score.

[crocodile 9,724]

Yeah, it's almost impossible to get, though...

It wasn't in 1978!

Though the cover was the same, it still looked better on LP:

[Joe Brausam 234]

Good things come those who wait! Snagged the War Horse FYC on eBay for $24 shipped.

Edit: Actually now I'm nervous, since I can see the seller's email address now and know who it may be..

[Ollie 1,375]

Afraid you may have been duped?

[Joe Brausam 234]

Indeed, I was. Once I saw the guy's name on my Paypal receipt I realized he was someone known for selling CD-R's. It's a shame, but live and learn I suppose.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Just report it to PayPal and get your money back.

[Trent B 354]

My recent purchase was the Star Trek Deep Space Nine set from LLL. I think I'll have it by Friday maybe Saturday at the latest.

[Joe Brausam 234]

Just report it to PayPal and get your money back.

Do you think that would work, before he even mails out the CD?

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

No, that'll just lose him his PayPal guarantees.

I once bought a video card off some guy on eBay for €100. He didn't mail it for weeks, giving different excuses or simply not replying to my messages at all. I filed a complaint with PayPal, after which he finally mailed the video card. It was broken. When I tried to change the PayPal complaint from "not sent" to "defective", it turned out that you can't change the type of complaint. And you also can't close it and open another complaint for the same eBay order. In PayPal's own words, they have to draw the line somewhere. My comment that this left a huge hole for abuse was ignored.

But perhaps they've changed their terms since then.

[indy4 160]

Ordered the following:

Hercules - Alan Menken

Tarzan - Phil Collins

Hairspray (film score)

Impresario/The Beneficient Dervish - Mozart

Goodbye, Mr. Chips - Leslie Bricuse, John Williams

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Wait until you get it so you can factually say it's fake.

[Richard P 5,302]

Yeah it's unreasonable to accuse the seller before you've even got the item, regardless of reputation.

Plus, did the listing definitely say it was pressed?

[TheTennisBallKid 27]

(been meaning to get this for a while, finally ordered largely because of some of the recent comments about the Memoirs of a Geisha suite)

I'm listening to The Five Sacred Trees right now, I'm not really familar with Williams' concert work, so this is new territory for me.

Another Gerhardt crossed off the list; this disc tends to get mixed reviews, from what I've seen (James Southhall's fervent recommendation seems to be an exception), I'm curious to judge for myself.

My second Gordon (already have Moby Dick), I'm begining to think this guy can do no wrong. What else of his do I need?

[crocodile 9,724]

You need this:

Karol - who needs to get On the Beach sometime (it's great)

[Incanus 5,890]

On a trip to the few local CD stores still in existence here in Helsinki I made a delightful find in the used CDs bin:

The original soundtrack album of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, which I have been wanting for ages and for only 4,5€

[crocodile 9,724]

Excellent find! A much better album than the 1996-2002 ones.

Karol

[Incanus 5,890]

Indeed. I just took a listen to it again this morning and it is more of a concept album on the themes found in the film than a collection of cues from the film. And it really makes for a great listening experience.

[crocodile 9,724]

The Spiderwick Chronicles (Horner)

Revolution (Corigliano)

Frozen Planet (Fenton)

Karol

[Koray Savas 2,260]

I felt it was time to clear a few titles off my SAE wish list and discovered that GDM is reissuing a remastered Django. Needless to say, I immediately placed an order. I had the older expanded edition on my list for years, it was $38. Now $22 with better sound!

[Matt C 605]

I got the following last week:

When Nietzche Wept

Trinity and Beyond: The Atomic Bomb Movie

Eye of the Eagle: Film Music of Soren Hyldgaard

[crocodile 9,724]

and

Seems like a match made in hell.

The Evil Dead Hole? That's most women after a certain age.

[Jay 46,241]

Picked up John Powell's Robots and the No Alternative compilation when I found them for $2 each at the local Savers

[crocodile 9,724]

Robots might be one of his most colourful works. It's a charming little album.

Karol

[Incanus 5,890]

Finally decided to start my Christopher Gunning collection.

Also I decided to delve deeper into the lesser known early Williams and ordered

Jericho/Ghost Breaker

and

Diamond Head / Gone With the Wave

plus finally completed my John Williams 1990's discography with

Stanley & Iris

[Incanus 5,890]

Heidi by John Williams

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Someone was excited for Goldsmith.

[indy4 160]

Nightwatch/Killer by Night - Johnny Williams/Quincy Jones

Not With My Wife You Don't! Volume 2 - Johnny Williams

Diamond Head/Gone With the Wave - Johnny Williams/Lalo Schrifrin

Mass - Leonard Bernstein

Bernstein with the NY Phil (WSS Symphonic Dances, Candide Overture, On the Town, Fancy Free, On the Waterfront Suite)

Heidi - John Williams

They've all arrived, except Heidi of course. So far I'm really digging Bernstein's Mass.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

Mass is weird. Wonderfully weird.

[indy4 160]

That's my impression of it so far!

[Jay 46,241]

My LLL order of Rosewood, First Knight, Bad Girls, and Greystoke arrived yesterday;

My MM order of Heidi, In Country, and The Witches of Eastwick shipped yesterday;

And today I am figuring out a third title to order from MM along with King Kong and Logan's Run since those two FSM titles are going OOP soon
