Jarbas 1 Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I like Monsignor score... but I don't understand why this work was nominated in 1983 Razzie Award as Worst Musical Score.

The music doesn't work well in the film? (I didn't see this movie)Because the movie is crap and it was an opportunity to piss at the most popular and awarded composer at the time.You should know the Razzies, like the Oscars, are not all about the quality of the movies really.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I'd be curious to hear the other scores that were nominated for Razzies that year. They must be incredible. Ozzel -- too lazy to look them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Why do they release these things limited? Is it just because they think nobody will buy them (except the direhard fans)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 It's a money issue. Limited = one time production of x number of product, Regular = product is restocked (usually for several for years). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Oh. And they feel that if they put more money into it, and have it restocked, they would ultimatly loose money, because of the low demand of the item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hoyt 13 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Supply and demand. There simply is not a high demand for this stuff. Varese still had Home Alone 2 and that had been out for 4 years. 4 years to sell 3000 units= low demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 There's also some legal mumbo jumbo that makes limited releases cheaper. And soundtracks are a very, very small niche in the music market.I wonder how fast Monsignor will really sell out. It's not like they can sell 50,000 of these in a week.

Greg1138 3 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 It's also to do apparently with Union fees for the orchestras involved....John Ottman explained to me that for a release of 3000 or less there are basically no fees to pay, but anything above that number and big bucks to orchestral union become involved.Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read your post last night and it got me wondering about the LalaLand CD. I checked it out on Amazon. Unfortunately I was in a meloncholy mood for reason's I won't go into, and that always makes me more likely to buy something to cheer myself up. Well, I ordered it! Now I REALLY have no money! I already have the first 3 Lost in Space volumes (I got the fantastic Irwin Allen CD set which includes the first 2, and bought volume 3 when it came out seperately) so now I will have the complete Williams Lost in Space, right?

Henry B 50 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 How's the sound on Gloria?Better than the LP rip boot?k.M.Probably, though my LP rip was a recent one done by anonymous collector of Williams music that was apparently better than the prevalent ones. The sound quality on this CD is great, anyway. For example, there are none of the fluctuations in pitch one often notices when dealt a single, sustained note. The only problem I noticed is that there's a little clipping at the beginning of "Gloria." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 What a great score! I've had the music for a while, but it took the CD release for me to really listen to it again. Nice '80s-Williams sound obviously, and the theme really grows on you. A few sections remind me of E.T., with that beautiful string writing, and there's one very short bit (3:34-3:39 in "The Meeting in Sicily") that's pure, thrilling Williams at his best. Nice to have this on CD finally, with the liner notes and everything.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I dunno, how long does it take mail to go from California to Maryland? I believe Intrada also sends out CDs from the east coast, so that shouldn't be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Just arrived. I'm listening through it now. So far there seems to be a massive difference in sound quality. It's absolutely gorgeous!I'll write more after Gloria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then you have to wait for them to get the items in stock before they ship.You're probabaly thinking of FSM, SAE distributes their CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
