Goldsmithfan 6 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Just why did it disappear so fast? It was an excellent release, but it departed way too soon.What's the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Probably because it was so popular? That would be my guess.If you missed out on it you can still grab it from ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Probably because it was so popular?It wasn't a limited edition, so wouldn't good sales make it more readily available? If it was selling so well, why would they discontinue it?For anyone who hasn't bought it yet, Amazon UK has this album for a bargain price. But act quickly, if it has been discontinued it probably won't be around there for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 Actually it could have been limited in the number of first pressings, like 10,000 or 20,000 units. Or sales could have declined after awhile and they didn't bother to press anymore.I've heard that the expanded Jaws and CE3K didn't sell very well but I still see copies available in stores.

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I just ordered(amazon uk) it .Of course I had it but borrowed it to my(now ex-)friend , never got it back.Have also the original double-LP and that Debney thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I often wonder if scores are limited to so many pressings or if sales decide how quick they are pulled from circulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artyjeffrey 20 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I have it, but that jewel case with the swinging panel thing is already breaking off. Does anybody know the technical name for this odd jewel case, and where a replacement one could be found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Of course I had it but borrowed it to my(now ex-)friend , never got it back.This is why I never let anyone borrow my CD's (even though no one I know does because they don't like film scores). If someone did want to borrow a CD of mine I'd make them a CD-R copy and let them have that instead of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Never let friends borrow books,magazines,games software or c.d.'s if it's precious to you.In my experience you'll never see them again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that as much as the next guy.Also too never let friends borrow your DVD's, if they do they end up going missing and never returned to you. I let my (now ex-)friend borrow a new movie I had just barely gotten one time a while back, didn't have a chance to really watch it. He wanted to borrow it and watch it and I kept asking for it back and he said tha the lent it to his brother with OUT asking me first if he could lend it to him.... I was like WTF!? Needless to say I never got the movie back and I was pretty pissed off. Like with DVD's, next time if someone wants to borrow them even if it's a season of a TV series I'll make copies of that said movie or season of a series and give it to them. The originals never are leaving me.I sometimes borrow DVD's from my dad but I return them to him once I'm done watching them and same with him he returns mine so that's no biggy there (after all we live in the same apartment lol).

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 In my own personal humble opinion, anyone who lends out a borrowed copy of anything is a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I only borrow stuff to people who I deeply trust, and only stuff that I know, if it was lost, could be easely replaced.As for Superman, I do have an extra sealed copy of it...

robthehand 3 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I never lend anything out, with the exception of my mom and sister.Who do you lend those to? I don't lend out CDs, if someone wants to borrow one I just burn them a CD-R. Better for me, because I don't have to worry about the CDs getting damaged, and better for them because they get to keep it for as long as they like. Not that people actually want to listen to my CDs very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 If it didn't sell very well, wouldn't it be logical that copies are still around?I worked at Barnes & Noble for a couple years in the music section. Once a month, we would receive a list of CDs & DVDs to be sent back to the distributor. I arranged with the music manager to let me check that list first each month to see if any were film scores I might want to snatch before they disappeared. I actually did buy a few in case they were indeed going out of print. I never once saw a Williams soundtrack on that list.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well, it came out in 2000, right? That was 7 years ago, give or take a month. I imagine they only printed a certain amount, never intending to keep pressing copies infinitely unless it became a strange selling phenomenon, and it just eventually sold out. The original Superman CD is still in production, I believe. I suppose most regular consumers probably don't care all that much, and would rather purchase a cheaper, more to-the-point release, than an expensive 2-disc edition that is filled with cues they don't care about. The score collectors more or less had a great opportunity to snatch this one up.You never know, in a few years, they might reissue.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needless to say I never got the movie back and I was pretty pissed off.Yeah, I've had a few instances where I've lent a VHS/DVD to somebody and it never came back. Nobody has ever lent my gear to another person though. That is just bizzare. But after this happening to me, I admit I did it myself once through sheer laziness. A work colleague lent me a copy of a dvd (at least it was a copy) of a film I wasn't interested in at all, but took out of politeness because he insisted I'd like it. Never got round to watching it and whenever I kept telling him I'd forgotten to watch it (as I had, because I really wasn't moved to watch it), he said it wasn't a big problem. Eventually I just forgot about it all together and when I left my job it is still here unwatched. I contemplate this on the tree of woe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest macrea Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I know someone who has 2 sealed copies of the Rhino release who is willing to sell them for a good price. (One was almost purchased by someone who's posted in this thread.) PM me if interested. These copies DO have the booklet; I heard that there was a run (possibly in Europe) that didn't include it.Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmo Lewis 6 Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 Whenever a friend of mine wants to borrow some treasure from me, I voluntarily offer to buy it again for them and then give it as a gift. The end result is the same (you end up re-buying the item), only it makes you look more classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
