Trent B 337 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hmmm, I thought you were one of them...either way Koray bought it from me. I guess I only want Superman: The Movie but at the same time I don't want to shell out money for the set again just for that one score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,675 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 And there's no way to get the first one outside the box? That's unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be surprised though if either LLL or Intrada picks up the rights for this once this sells out and the rights expire from FSM.If that happens perhaps they'll sell each scores separately.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I seriously doubt a three figure price is worth the sound difference that I personally cannot hear. Not saying it's not there but I am not an audiophile and I don't hear the differences in most sound differences people talk about here.I hear the difference, and I'm deaf!

Trent B 337 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Too can hear the difference between the Rhino and FSM set for Superman: The Movie. Although if you aren't trained to hear that then I can see Joey's validation at least to him.I wasn't able to hear the difference between quality for a long time for scores. I had to train myself for that and now that I have I'm pretty picky about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,989 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I heard a lossless rip of the FSM Superman and there was a difference. A similar to the one heard in Poltergeist and Ben-Hur Rhino/FSM releases.Which isn't to say there is anything wrong with the Rhino set. I have a very soft spot for that album. And it is a perfectly respectable presentation, even by today's standards.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar to the one heard in Poltergeist and Ben-Hur Rhino/FSM releases. Bigger. I don't hear much of a difference in Poltergeist, and Ben-Hur sounds a bit cleaned up, but still has the same sound characteristic. But with Superman, the FSM release sounds *different* than the Rhino. Less damaged, more powerful, with considerably more low end and clarity. It doesn't sound perfect, but still much better than what came before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,989 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I know this is slightly out of touch tonally with Williams' music, but I've got to say I always loved this track: Superman gets The Terminal treatment. I've never heard the rest of the score, though. I'm looking forward to it.Karol - who got a shipping notification today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less damaged, more powerful, with considerably more low end and clarity. It doesn't sound perfect, but still much better than what came before.One of the things that bugged me most in all previous releases (including the 2-LP) was the bad warbling effect during the climactic crescendo in "Leaving Home". It was quite wonderful to hear it crisp and clean on the FSM release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The answers you seek are right here in this very thread On 3/11/2008 at 6:28 AM, Lurker said: Responding to this post again because Lukas has addressed this very issue. There will be a second printing of 3,000 sets. It will have the exact same book, with the addition of "Second Printing" added somewhere. Regarding the book falling apart for some, it was a factory screw-up and additional books are being made for those that need a replacement. All of the details are at that link. You can't ask for better service than this. Neil On 3/29/2008 at 4:23 PM, El Jefe said: SAE is taking pre-orders for the second pressing. Lukas hoped to have it soon so people wouldn't have to wait.

Bespin 8,480 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 ScreenArchives putted the box in their "new CD releases" (of FSM label) so I believed it was recent, my bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Do you think someone will release a standalone expanded 2-CD of "Superman: The Movie" for it's 40th anniversary this year? I find that Blue Box really too big for my needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Since I bought the Blue Box last year, with my luck they are bound to release some kind of Superman 40th Anniversary Edition soon.

Arpy 4,145 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I have been skirting with the idea of buying the blue box for a while, but if they choose to release a standalone score for the first film then that shall be a more enticing and economic choice!

rough cut 1,714 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Buying the box is money well spent. Lots of great Superman music. But the number of Superman CDs in my collection (including both editions of Ottoman’s score and none of Zimmer’s) is growing to Home Alone-like proportions. The only franchise that can rival its massive presence in my iTunes is Star Wars. And to think Matessino has teased a new release of Superman yet again.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The 2000 Rhino version is enough for me. The sound quality is as good as LLL's The Fury and Intrada's Jaws 2 from the same year. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
