Yeah, the shipping costs are stupid. But for me, it just brought it inline with an intrada or LLL release..... I need a cheaper hobby

I'm going with the Mutter..... I don't love everything they've done together... but this might be my favourite of the bunch. I think her playing style lends itself really well to the piece. There's mischief, excitement and danger in there. And the whole ending just sounds absolutely massive and awesome. Plus, I was there so being completely biased it wins by default in my head anyway!

Since no further info seemed to be popping up, I emailed DG about their plans for this release. I was beginning to wonder if the Blu-ray set would be a Japanese exclusive, with nothing else coming. Weirdly, their first reply said that it was indeed an exclusive Japanese release, and they only had a digital release planned for elsewhere. But then when I followed up with a quote from their press release the next reply (from a different member of staff) said that physical releases are indeed coming for the international market. Slight panic, followed by some sort of comfort, but with a lingering taste of concern

Sorry, of course, I should have included the link. I forgot it didn't show up on search last time. Sneaky Mickey!

In stock right now at Music Emporium. Probably at least for the next 3 minutes

Well. I've made it to another Friday without any big money expenditure on John Williams stuff. Thank goodness. Guess I'll just take a quick look at jwfa....... aww crap.

There should be nothing guilty about it mate! It's just a pure pleasure A really great set, and I believe it to be a very important release. The music is obviously wonderful, Jedi sounds top notch, and the book is great too. Very nicely put together, and a memento of a time when it wasn't just our lovely bespoke labels who would put out special releases like this. I remember discovering the display shelves of this in HMV in Manchester. A well thought out and cared for production. Not as clumsy or as random as... say, a Didier Deutsch release. An elegant release. For a more civilised era.

I reckon he's just leaned back a little from the microphone. But I do hear what you mean now.

I hear the music stop.... then start again. Fairly sure you're just hearing a performance thing. Doesn't sound like a mix thing to me.

Super busy with gigs and work, so a bit "blink and you miss it" but all very lovely. And we got a beautiful new puppy shaped addition to the family So I'm working round the clock to keep those tiny gnashers away from the precious music collection

I think I'm going to be putting myself in the same boat. Maybe this is the year I finally get round to buying the 4K player.... but I bet I buy the discs first Hope you had a good Christmas Jay!

Oh man. Heidi finally sounds amazing. There was always something weird going on with instrument placing and the harp being really up front. Absolutely gorgeous, can't wait!

Guys. I got home and there's no Hook CD waiting for me. I can't believe it. it's really quite a stressful situation. Absolutely nothing waiting on the doorstep. I can't help but notice however that the glass in the front door is broken. Some sort of botched delivery attempt? Also, someone's utterly ruined the wallpaper in the hallway. And up the stairs. And they've pinned a note to a bedroom door with a flippin' knife of all things. This is one desperate postal thief. Very strange methods indeed. Also I'm not entirely certain where the kids are.

The result of Mutter cookie crumbs landing on the manuscript, and then into the vinyl itself.

My copy was dreadful. Loads of loud pops, and some real horrible distortion in some passages. I emailed to report it, along with a video demonstrating the problems. I was refunded straight away, but they didn't offer to send a replacement.... leading me to believe they know it's a bad batch
