This looks like a poll I would do... Anyway, I voted Harry Potter! But they're all pretty much on the same level for me.

Well, for me, it's about the collector's value (plus a dose of nostalgia). If you own the first edition of your favourite book (let's say Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings or whatever), would you throw it away because a newer version came out with better, more legible print, with a new introduction and afterword, new illustrations, updated cover art etc.? Well, for me, that's a big no. The first edition will always hold a very special place in my heart. But that's just me. You're welcome to have your own take on things.

Sad news. A reminder that we're all mortal. RIP.

I was just about to do this very poll, but then you beat me to it! Damn you!

Which John Williams Expanded Releases did you skip buying?
Josh500 replied to King Mark's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
The Disaster Boxset. But I'm still debating... Although I'm tending toward skipping this one altogether. -
I always buy it for the music, of course. John Williams because I know JW's music has always quality and longevity, and which I personally like very much, and Matessino because he always knows how to best present it. Yeah, 100 bucks total (including shipping) is just a bit steep, even for my taste. Especially for an album which I'm pretty sure I'll hardly ever listen to...

If it's heard at least two times it could be classified as a theme, I think. The key word is "could." It can be, but doesnt necessarily have to be.... Anyway, this isn't an exact science! It's just a matter of interpretation. In the case of "Blowing Off Steam", I would definitely call it a theme or leitmotiv. -

You could say Far and Away is still far and away! 😅 -

Mail is still being delivered, I understand, even in the incompetent, mediaeval EU! (And no, the UK is not one bit better.) I have this recurring image of the whole world being consumed and destroyed by the virus, and a few of us still patiently, stubbornly waiting for our copies of Far and Away to arrive.... Too real for comfort. -

No. Flights have been cancelled only for human passengers. Not for cargo, products, and other stuff.
