Well ET&Elliot4Ever, Incanus, The_Trout, and Hedji didn't win...

Damn my indefatigable optimism.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Nah, I would have won if they've pressed all 5000 at once...


Why, you still have a chance don't you? Didn't you say April 1st?

Oh I though they'll restart selling when they get the rest of the CDs...after 1-2 weeks...

No, they will accepting orders without interruption... they will continue shipping the CDs once the new batch arrives...

At least, that was how I took it.

LLL never stopped taking orders, you can order one from them right now!

3rd party retailers I think have to put up an out of stock message and not allow orders until they get their stock in, because they probably don't know how many copies LLL is actually going to sell them (those figures are probably dependent on how many copies LLL sells directly between now and when the second run is done)

And anyway, I don't think they even sold 3,700 copies yet.

They said these are "accounted for" and "spoken for," meaning some were sold yes, but the rest went to third party retailers.

For LLL sure, yes, of course, but I mean that we--the consumers--are still able to buy them from 3rd party retailers at the list price of 29.98. So even if it's technically sold out (for LLL), for us it's not sold out, as long as they are still available at these 3rd party retailers.

But yes, I understand that for this competition what counts is when it's sold out for LLL.

I bought this but I don't want it. At all. Ever.

I'm going to sell mine back to LLR at a later date, but I don't know when.

Therefore, it can never be sold out completely, because one person will always be able to buy it. From me.

Put that in your contest's pipe and smoke it.

@Wojo: stop being facetious.

Well he said:

Make your guess in this thread and the winner will receive a free CD from me. I have about 4-5 random film score CDs floating around that you can pick from.

The only information MV has posted about sales is that they sold 3700 units in the first 24 hours. If he told me any additional information privately I certainly wouldn't reveal it on the board; if he makes any other sales figures public i will be sure to copy/paste his post here.

notice how I didnt vote, so I can vote when I know it going to sell out, than I can win?

(I am joking, I know it doesnt work that way.)

Among all the things I have done in my short and pitiful life, becoming an inside joke on JWFAN is the one I'm the least proud of.
