You say that, but a few years ago, my BF order got missed and didn't ship until the new year.... so it can happen. I did get a complementary CD as as an apology which was nice, but yes, I may be a little paranoid that it'll happen again. They must have gotten a crazy amount of orders if they are still shipping orders that came in on the first day. I ordered around 24hours after it went live, so on the 28th. 8 days on and they are still shipping orders from that first 24 hours..... That's a lot of orders.

Still nothing since order went to Await Fulfilment on 30th. unlikely to arrive in the UK now before Christmas, or even this year with what the post is like these days. oh well, hopefully the podcasts are coming soon to bridge the gap before mine arrives and I can join in the listening. on the plus side, this has obviously been a big seller along with the othe BF titles, so congrats to LLL and hope it’s a nice end of the year for them. just hope they don’t break for Christmas until my order has shipped lol…

James Horner's BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS (1980) - 2023 2-CD Intrada
Martin B. replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
Listened to the expanded today, and blimey, if that's what it's like after they fixed what was it like before.... Still plenty of wrong & bad notes exist in the complete score. But what a glorious release this is. Had hoped to place an order along with McArthur which I will probably still do, along with possibly some of Quartet's final releases for '23, but I guess Intrada underestimated the demand for this one as it's now out of stock until January so will have a long wait for anything to ship now. First batch sold out in a couple of weeks - don't see that very often these days. -
Thanks for posting that. Mine should arrive Monday. But how to catalogue it in iTunes..... Each full OST as it's own album and group the selections together (and use OST coverart) , or keep the disc themes (but then have the problem of what coverart to use) Oh.... First world problems, why do you trouble me so !

I think I'm right but just want to double check. If I have the 4 disc Great Movie Themes and the 80th Tribute to sets, along with the boxset then I have everything from Sony. There is nothing on the 3 disc Music of America that isn't already on the Great Movie Soundtracks set. From the titles it would appear to be just duplicats but just wanted to make sure there were no unique versions or anything.

And arrived. Looks lovely. discs are in thicker card sleeves which have spines with the titles on. Covers are a bit of a mixed bag whether they use the Philips bar at the top or not - could really do with a nice set of matching covers for this (hint hint cover designers). Currently ripping disc 2: Pops in Space Will start listening later tonight.

It's a Wonderful Life - Dimitri Tiomkin (La-La Land 2021)
Martin B. replied to Disco Stu's topic in General Discussion
Just finished listening to this release and I'd say it does sound slightly better than the Kritzerland. However after initially listening to the sound quality to see if I thought it was better, I quickly ended up just getting carried away by the wonderful music. Great release and the artwork looks great in person - a version of the Kritzerland cover is on the back of the booklet. Great notes as well. Thanks LLL
