King Mark 3,631 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I got ToD for 75$ and Spacecamp for 50$ back in the days(I got them at a regular store)Hook Concorde boot was 40$I also paid about 40$ for the first Poseidon Adventure and 1941 bootlegs.In the mid 90's before the internet you had to look at classified adds in music magazines to find (maybe) bootlegs.It was complicated but getting something like Poseidon Adventure was like finding a real treasureI got my Witches of Eastwick for 7,99$ in a discount bin back in 1990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Well I'm sure QMM will pipe in...... The most I've spent was $129.95 for the Goldsmith at 20th Century Fox boxed set when it was released. I paid $99.95 each for the Godzilla Perfect Boxed sets.Being a fan of Akira Ifukube means I've had to shell out some cash for imports, $30.00 to $70.00, depending on whether it's a single or double and condition of the disc. There have been a few out of print scores that I've paid $40.00 to $75.00 for, but they are ones I really wanted and have no problem because they get plenty of listens.I found The Witches Of Eastwick for $4.99 in the used section at Hastings.

BigMacGyver 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I think 43 euros for ToD. Everything else was way below 40 euros... luckily! Of course I am not counting box sets here such as the elmer bernstein film music collection which would be the most expensive release in my collection at a buying price of roughly 160 euros.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ok, I think I have you all beat. I paid $165 for a Japanese CD of Spacecamp. I'm not ashamed because I love the score, I'm proud to own an original, and I'd just gone through a nasty break-up at the time and needed something to cheer myself up. I paid 60 uk pounds (around $100) for the Irwin Allen box set.$40 for The Accidental Tourist.I paid through the nose for the Star Wars trilogy 1997 double CDs because they cost a FORTUNE new in the UK on their original release. Star Wars and Empire cost about 35 pounds each (about $60), and Jedi was a bit more, maybe 40 pounds ($65?). It was riiculously expensive in the UK, and makes me spit now you can get exactly the same music repackaged for about 15 dollars per set! Mind you, the originals were on laser-etched CDs which looked very nice. Even so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Is the isolated score considerably different than the retail version?VERY different...considering it's the complete score.All though if I were you I'd replace the cues, "Giza Port", "Night Boarders", "Discoveries", "My Favorite Plague", "Rebirth" and "The Mummy" with their album versions since those cues on the album is unedited. Oh I would edit in the opening strings for "My Favorite Plague" however from the DVD isolated score since it's missing on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
