Mine has not (yet).

[Mark Olivarez]

Mine shipped.

[Trent Bennett]

Nice to see more people getting shipping notices. I'm hoping that Peter (Movie Music) will get his shipment from Varèse by Monday.

[gkgyver]

Mine didn't ship yet.

[OneBuckFilms]

We'll see if more ship tomorrow.

[John Crichton]

Nothing yet here. But it's days ahead of schedule so I won't complain.

[Mark Olivarez]

Well I was expecting mine to ship. I had to be one of the first to order.


Plus I wonder where my other copy will be shipping from....

[Jason LeBlanc]

[Mark Olivarez]

You got yours?

Nevermind, I see you just posted SAE's pictures.

[Joe Brausam]

SAE posted those pictures.

I had no problem with the bluray style case that people were going on about, but really it's a book style case in bluray dimensions, it seems. Looks great!

[alan1984]

Very nice!

Really can't wait for mine to be delivered. Ordered from moviemusic.com and no shipping notice yet.

With them seeming to put some effort and money into the look of this set it really doesn't seem too likely that they'll have skimped on the music itself - choir over dubs and the couple of Courage theme statements.

Hope I'm not wrong, though I'll be happy to have it either way.

I wasn't too concerned because Bluray cases are close to the SACD / DVD-A cases and those fit just fine on my CD shelves.

One thing Varese appears to have skimped out on are liner notes:

It's about 4 pages of text (including track list and credits) and the rest pictures.

Lame!

[Mark Olivarez]

Hmmm, looks like the booklet is attached inside the case.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Yea, its like Warner Brothers' The Matrix Blu Ray

I agree that this really isn't what most would have expected when they read:

"The elaborate and beautiful, 2-CD packaging includes a 28-page, full-color booklet (in the dimensions of a Blue-Ray disc case), with new liner notes by Starlog Magazine founder Kerry O'Quinn."

Still, a complete release of a score only a year after its initial release it still great. The detailed liner notes come in 10 - 20 years I suppose

[Joe Brausam]

I was really hoping for some substantial notes in this, but if there's one thing Varese always disappointments with, it's their booklets. Oh well, it's the music that matters! Hopefully mine arrives on Monday.

Maybe someone could put together a set of liner notes for an issue of FSM, that would be cool.

[Blumenkohl]

Mine did not. That pisses me off.

I've assembled what sort of functions as alternate liner notes right here

Ah, nice, I'll have to check that out when the discs arrive!

The odds of me being in the booklet have increased dramatically!

[Trent Bennett]

The design doesn't look that bad for the case. All though it's still gonna stick out like a sore thumb next to the other cases. I wish Varèse had just stuck it in a regular double disc jeweled case. The fact too they skipped on the liner notes is a bit lame.

[OneBuckFilms]

I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but from the picture, the book format looks very nice !!!

This might end up next to my LOTR:CR sets on the main bookcase, rather than sitting with the regular CDs.

This is fitting, I think !!!

As for the liner notes: I think 4 pages of notes is not too bad, but Varese doesn't very often do cue-by-cue breakdowns these days.

We'll see the true extent of the liner notes when we get the discs, but I like what I'm seeing here.

I still won't get an autographed copy from you will I?

Can't wait. I think I'll watch the movie again today to prepare myself.

Bring $20.

[Jason LeBlanc]

Hmm, so that means that you worked on their July 20th Limited Edition release?

[Lurker]

Let's not get this thread off topic. It was just a joke I was making and I'll leave it at that.

Just a joke... suuuuure

[Trent Bennett]

Humor, it is a difficult concept. It is not logical.

A box has been reported as delivered just now, perhaps it's the VCL Star Treks... I should be able to get a good chunk orders out today if so!

Peter posted that on Movie Music just recently. So hopefully if it is the VCL Star Trek's that would be awesome. Which means I maybe getting my copy middle of next week.

That's ok I'm getting the one signature that counts the most.

[davros72]

I like the look of the book design. Much better than the Blu-ray type DVD case I was thinking they were talking about.

Do not like the fact that it has minimal liner notes.

But do releases for recent films actually ever have liner notes as detailed as those we get for older "archive" scores?

I can't remember how detailed the notes were in the expanded Tomorrow Never Dies, or the Vol 2s of Braveheart or Titanic, but I think you're right and they weren't very expansive.

But this is a Varese Club release, ya know? Should be different.

[Mark Olivarez]

Yeah I'm getting an autographed picture of him as Madea in a Starfleet uniform.

I will make 'standard Varese deluxe edition' covers to fit a 2cd jewel case...

[Mark Olivarez]

I'll probably just use the original cover.

I wouldn't mind seeing those if you do that.
