Shoes 0 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Oringinal release may be harder to get as time goes by, and I'm not sure of the availablity in Australia....but there are always plenty of online stores where you can easily purchase the above mentioned scores as well as many others....check the links here and see if there are any recommended sites....but there are plenty out there!! best of luck to you!

King Mark 3,631 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Lucky for you there's online shopping now.I like to buy c.d.'s in real stores,but also likes that the internet is a possible safeguard.Before the internet you were pretty screwed if your local HMV didn't have this and that.k.M.

Jim Ware 526 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Presumed Innocent is out of print. I believe that it was one of the Varese/MCA releases that went OOP when their license expired (like Jaws 2, Dracula and Conan The Barbarian).The original release of The Fury is completely out of print, but may be easier to find following the release of the Deluxe Edition. However, with the Deluxe Edition also being out of print, I wouldn't count on it.JFK is completely out of print, but turns up on eBay every now and then. It's also very easily found on the Amazon Marketplace, often for a very reasonable price.Catch Me If You Can is not out of print. I'm not sure about A.I..On a similar note, Midway, Earthquake and The River also appear to be out of print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i can find CMIYC easily here...but none of the others. AI used to be stocked by Borders but I have been unable to locate it since they downsized their soundtrack section drastically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 You can still buy AI and Catch Me If You Can online at Borders/Amazon. The others though are out of print.Edit: I for one buy all my CD's (and most DVD's) online. I don't like going to stores and have to deal with all the people...no thanks. I don't mind paying extra for shipping fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I recently saw a large stack of CMIYC OSTs for 5 Euros apiece...I also bought AI for that price a couple years back.Good luck finding the other three, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I found A.I. at Big W for $12. It's been there for years, getting steadily cheaper.

BurgaFlippinMan 7 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 You guys are still buying Williams' CDs in real stores? 8OI can't afford to buy online. Not only is it already more expensive by itself after currency conversion, the shipping just kills it for me. I can get two CDs in stores compared to one CD online for the same amount of money. Of course, shopping online gives u much more choice...but beggars cant be choosers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,783 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I get a lot of stuff from Play.com as well, and their prices, while still being too expensive for me (usually with CDs) are better than many places. Plus if you consider no P&P charge, it's even better.However, nothing beats my mum finding TPM OST for just £2 in WHSmith during a trip to Croydon in Xmas '03. I didn't have a single track of Star Wars until then and I'm very glad she got it for me I usually just buy CDs/DVDs from Amazon UK marketplace. You can get a new copy of many things for no more than £5 or so, which is about what I consider 'media' to be worth these days. Talking of which, I discovered that Play.com has a new 'used & new' section called PlayTrade. Prices generally look the same at the moment, but I'm sure it'll become a valuable feature in due course.

Diego 21 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Well, to actually answer the question, is a matter of economics, some CDs go out of print because there's not enough demand to keep producing them, sadly film scores is not the most popular genre and few titles can mantain constant production.

They are there in real stores for a limit amount of time...until eventually they stop selling them...which is annoying for people like me years later who got interest in getting them when they stop selling or producing them.
