TownerFan 4,983 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Lukas Kendall says at the FSM Message Board that an 8-disc boxset (which will contain "one of the most famous and beloved scores of all time" above all) will be released in time for Christmas.Let the speculation begin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 EIGHT discs for ONE score?No, it will feature the mentioned "most famous and beloved score" along with something else too. I suspect this will be a composer-themed boxset. My speculation is an Alex North boxset with a super-complete and definitive Spartacus (with alternates, outtakes, source cues and everything else). Four discs for that and the other four for other North scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I seriously doubt FSM have the rights to the Raiders trilogy, especially with all the publicity about the upcoming 4th installment.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Well, in the end it may be a Williams-themed boxset. I remember last year Lukas Kendall said that they would have release something by Williams this year (he actually said he didn't realize this year would be John Williams' 75th birthday). Considering that no FSM release this year so far was Williams...By the way, I very much highly doubt it would be Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

Vaderbait1 1 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 It won't be Indy or Star Wars. Those are virtual empires right now still very much selling in big numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 ...and a 1CD release (Silver Age Classics) for $19.95 featuring two highly lauded scores from the 1970s.Family Plot? That would be nice, but then again, it would be sharing the CD with another score, there would be loads of music left out...About the Bernstein thing, was that several of his unreleased scores, or just a major compilation album?FSM only releases scores older then 25 years.Have the aunnonced that and made it official, or is that just what you've gathered from their previously releases?Spartacus would seem more feasible then the indy scoresIt's certainly not one of the most famous and beloved scores of all time.It is actualy.

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 FSM only releases scores older then 25 years.Have the aunnonced that and made it official, or is that just what you've gathered from their previously releases?Yes they only release scores prior to 1980. The Golden age, scrores prior to 1960 and Silver age which are scores from the 1960's and 70's. It was on their website at one time.FSM releases at least 2 CDs every month.The Bernstein box set was a collection of film scores (from other composers and some of his music as well) Bernstein re-recorded.http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=5785Remember folks there is a long history of film music with many beloved scores, just because it wasn't written after 1980 doesn't mean no one cares about it.A North box with Spartacus would be a dream come true as would a Rozsa box with Quo Vadis. It could be a Max Steiner box set, FSM has yet to release something from him, although that could be the 2 disc Golden Age release they have coming. Maybe something from Korngold.Lukas Kendall did say they had a Williams release planned for this year not realizing it was his 75th B-day.Lukas also seems to believe they will sell alot of these since it's getting a 3000 unit run with the choice to press more. FSM quite possibly could start releasing scores after 1980, so what if it's a Superman box set with the complete newly remastered scores to the first 4 films?I think Lukas may have already said no but what if it's a remastered box set of the Gerhardt recordings?

Morlock 11 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Spartacus is the score I can think of that really fits the praise heaped. And the estimable Mr. Kendall is not one prone to exaggeration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Now the following is complete guesswork, and I don't actually believe it myself. The Spartacus idea sounds more likely to me, and even that I dare not hope for.But what if this is a remastered re-release of the Gerhardt series? That certainly would make for a nice box set, sell well, and include at least one "beloved" score as well as a Williams release - the Star Wars suite is lengthy enough to qualify for that.I doubt FSM could get their hands on that though, plus the entire series (in the original full-length versions) would certainly need more than 8 CDs.Edit: I see Mark had the same idea while I was typing this.

By, perhaps, a bootleg coming out several months before...?EDIT: Hey, I just thought of another possibility! What if the 8 disc set is a variaty of Alfred Hitchcock scores that had never been released? Then we may yet get FP!Holy garbage! 120 bucks! That's a lot of money!

indy4 155 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 We have not decided upon any "limited" status; it will be a case of supply and demand. It costs a small fortune to manufacture, so if the first 3,000 were to sell out, we may do more copies in the same configuration, an altered "second edition" -- or nothing at all.Could this "altered second edition" be cheaper (e.g. selling each of the scores induvidually)?Also, do we have a date they're going to aunnonce this stuff on?

Ollie 1,059 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ok, time for the fanboy in me to come out.The boxed set is either:1. complete remastered Superman I, II, III and IV scores with alternates and outakes.2. The original Star Trek TV series with Jerry Goldsmith's Complete Star Trek TMP to include alternates and outakes.3. A Hitchcock boxed set to include the first legit release of the original scores to Psycho, Marnie, Family Plot and Herrmann's Torn Curtain. 4. An Alex North box set with Spartacus5. A Miklos Rozsa set with Quo Vadis6. Something for either Korngold or Steiner7. And while this is a pure fanboy wish because it doesn't fit the hints Lukas Kendall gave, a remastered film score set for the films of Ray Harryhausen.
