Possible news about the Indiana Jones re issues

[Romão 2,274]

Me and Miguel were browsing some websites looking for the best option for buying the KOTCS score. Eventually, we did a small search for the cd on the portuguese FNAC website, and we stumbled upon this:

http://www.fnac.pt/pt/Catalog/Detail.aspx?...t=7243595334218

The thing that caught our attention was the title (INDIANA JONES TRILOGY (SP ED)), the fact that it was not still released and the price tag of nearly 65 € (reasonable for a 6 cd set). However, we couldn't recognize the distributor (BERTUS DISTRIBUTIE). A simple search on the French FNAC website showed us that the distributor of the KOTCS score in Europe is in fact Universal music

http://musique.fnac.com/a2257198/Bande-ori...-CD-album?PID=2

After this, we googled BERTUS DISTRIBUTIE

http://www.bertus.com/labels/

Only to find out that one of their labels is indeed Universal music.

WE really don't know what to make of this, and we don't want to give anyone false hopes, but does anyone have any ideia of what this might be?

Miguel and Romão

An interesting fact that doesn't tell us much, really.

Well done though.

[MissPadmé 17]

Hmm maybe its the City of Prague Orchestra Recording.. with that Pyramid packaging and the grail? I remeber it beeing about that price..

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

It was never distributed by Universal though.

[BLUMENKOHL 1,070]

For what it's worth, Concord's official distributor is Universal Music Group.

UMG will be distributing Indy 4.

[Romão 2,274]

I could only find two distributors for the Indiana Jones Trilogy album, and they were Silva and Megaphon Importservice, and none of them are labels belonging to Bertus.

How, and I have to mention that in the Portuguese Fnac website, this release was in the category of movie music and credited to John Williams and the format in cd.

[MissPadmé 17]

It was never distributed by Universal though.

true.. why should Universal buy the albummaster rights for such a release.. which is reissued anyway by a different label... damn! how I hateit wait for detailed infos

hmm but if they are releasing extended editions officially and a fourth movie iscoming out this year... would the really call it Indiana Jones TRILOGY?

but then again we should look at the Star Wars trilogy re-releases

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

That might just be what the website is calling it.

[Romão 2,274]

I?m sure that if indeed the expanded releases are coming out, they would certainly only be for the first 3 movies at this point, so why not call it Indiana Jones Trilogy? And as Steef said, it might just be a temporary designation.

[indy4 155]

These could definetly be the re-releases. The question is, will it be the 3 OSTs and some nice packaging and a cool book, or will it be the expanded/complete scores?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

65 Euro's seems a tad cheap for expanded scores I think.

[Henry B 50]

BSO = Boston Symphony Orchestra? Or the Boston Pops.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Isn't is something like "Bande Sonere Original"?

[fommes 154]

65 Euro's seems a tad cheap for expanded scores I think.

I think so too. For reissues of OSTs though, that'd be the price. I hope I'm proven wrong.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

On the other hand, the expanded Bond scores were priced as low as 11 or 12 Euro's at the time.

[Luke Skywalker 1,799]

Isn't is something like "Bande Sonere Original"?

yep

I would call 65 € a reasonable price.

the SW SEs were very expensive, but the recent re-issue was 15 € each and the trilogy box about was 39.95 or something.

and it would be even more reasonable if it were expanded releases not 2Cds long...

The rhino superman was 24 € x 3 = 72, and raiders may fit in one Cd...

[Delorean90 42]

Though it could indeed indeed be a temporary designation, the "SP ED" thing is intriguing. We'll see...

[fommes 154]

Perhaps it just comes with an idol or a skull or something.

[Delorean90 42]

I could always use some more Indy desktop backgrounds.

[RuBen_Kenobi 19]

You know that I work in Fnac, and I can tell you that Bertus it is not a label, it is the service of international orders in Fnac (I don´t know how to explain it well, but it is the service for import cds that are not available in your country, recently i order CEOTTK in Bertus from Japan, I expect it in the next weeks).

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

So what does this say about that web page?

[Miguel Andrade 1,267]

Yes, we know Bertus isn't a label. We were just so excited that wrote it that way...

But as it was pointed out on the original post, they distribute Universal Music, that distribute Concord Records... Anyhow, I'll check that out next wednesday, as I'll visit the local Fnac store.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

So basically, this is an impromptu listing of the upcoming re-releases.

If only they had the spanish for complete in there somewere.

[mcdaid72000 0]

If it is this :Indiana Jone Trilogy. If you are talking about this item. No, it is just a remake. I think. It only contains 1 disc. I would like to see an Indiana Jones Trilogy contain 3 disc. Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom and Last Crusade. Do it justice. I hope Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull does not disappoint.

[indy4 155]

65 euros and 15 bucks is a big difference...

[Luke Skywalker 1,799]

So basically, this is an impromptu listing of the upcoming re-releases.

If only they had the spanish for complete in there somewere.

the fnac site was the portuguese one

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

The difference being?

[Romão 2,274]

It sounds sexier in Portuguese.

[fommes 154]

Pero banda sonora pero 'indiana jones' trilogia pero el completto!

Pero.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

You know that I work in Fnac

Speaking of which, last week I went by your section of the store and there you were, playing The Empire Strikes Back in a volume that would make any of us proud. But was it on shuffle? It was jumping from "Hyperspace" to "The Imperial March" and so on.

[Miguel Andrade 1,267]

If it is this :Indiana Jone Trilogy. If you are talking about this item. No, it is just a remake.

Of course it isn't... we aren't all that dumb...

[Ollie 1,061]

So if my conversion is correct that equals out to about $102.00 US dollars.

That sounds like its more than 3 discs.

[fommes 154]

It's the other way though mostly: when something costs 65 euros over here it'll cost 60 dollars in the US. Do the math yourself

[Ollie 1,061]

I never pay attention to that.

I just did a straight up conversion on 65 Euros.

[Marian Schedenig 8,237]

65 Euro's seems a tad cheap for expanded scores I think.

I think so too. For reissues of OSTs though, that'd be the price. I hope I'm proven wrong.

€65 for re-issues of three CDs? When non-limited CDs usually cost about $15? Which, despite the low $, ends up at a usual maximum of €17 around here (and blockbuster scores usually get a cheaper tag). Even at €17 per disc, this still sounds too high.

[Ollie 1,061]

Well with that high price maybe one could hope there are more than 3 discs.

[King Mark 3,631]

yeah,Tod is like 40 minutes

they couldn't sell it for more than 10$ as a straight re-issue (well,to normal people)

[Ollie 1,061]

If it were a box set I would guess 1 disc for Raiders, 2 discs for TOD and 2 for LC.

Plus if they are packaged with a booklet or lengthy liner notes, that would affect pricing.

Of course this all just pure speculation.

I have a feeling we'll find out later this summer.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,the fact that your not so negative any more is a good sign

you were right about Alien

[Henry B 50]

If it were a box set I would guess 1 disc for Raiders, 2 discs for TOD and 2 for LC.

And a sixth disc for additional Raiders cues, source music and alternatives.

[Ollie 1,061]

Negative?!?!?! Me?!?!!?

Nahhhh.....

Like I said earlier, if and when these were to see a release it wasn't going to be limited. They were going to be done by a major or big label. Concord may not be well know to everyone but they have an extensive catalogue.

Personally I think it would be silly to re-issue just the original albums for the first three films, especially with FSM, Intrada and Varese doing what they do. Lucasfilm will probably have the final say as to how these are released.

If it were a box set I would guess 1 disc for Raiders, 2 discs for TOD and 2 for LC.

And a sixth disc for additional Raiders cues, source music and alternatives.

Given the current advances in technology I would figure the missing Well of Souls could be added to the single version of Raiders but maybe it might need to be stretched to 6 discs.

And yes perhaps some alternate cues could be added.

[Romão 2,274]

Raiders in total is nearly 90 minutes, no? THat would give 40 something minutes per cd. PLus, they could the same as with the Star Wars SE and put several takes of the Raiders March like a hidden track.

[Goldsmithfan 6]

If it were a box set I would guess 1 disc for Raiders, 2 discs for TOD and 2 for LC.

And a sixth disc for additional Raiders cues, source music and alternatives.

If that were true, I think they'd bill it as the Brown Box.

[Marian Schedenig 8,237]

Given the current advances in technology I would figure the missing Well of Souls could be added to the single version of Raiders but maybe it might need to be stretched to 6 discs.

It would be odd to release complete TOD and Crusade scores and still skip the few remaining Raiders bits like Government Ages.

[RuBen_Kenobi 19]

You know that I work in Fnac

Speaking of which, last week I went by your section of the store and there you were, playing The Empire Strikes Back in a volume that would make any of us proud. But was it on shuffle? It was jumping from "Hyperspace" to "The Imperial March" and so on.

Isn´t funny that you are always talking like you know me and I don´t know who you are? Why don´t you introduce yourself? I´m not shy (I attend to strangers everyday...). And I don´t think that it was on shuffle, I usually play full scores, altougth sometimes I repeat tracks like "Asteroid Field"...

I´m sorry but I have to end the speculation about this box. I have the complete Bertus cataolgue of soundtracks and it appers something called "Indiana Jones Trilogy Box" from EMI, available since 13/01/2004 for 69.99 euros (well my catalogue it is like a year old). I don´t know what the hell this box is, maybe the old soundtracks put together, but for sure not a new box...

[Delorean90 42]

What...? That doesn't make sense. When were the original DVDs released?

[King Mark 3,631]

There was never a Indiana Jones soundtrack box set in any shape or form

[Ollie 1,061]

Well I don't know what the release date for the DVD set was internationally but it was released in the States on October of 2003.

[King Mark 3,631]

Maybe it's the DVD set accidently listed in the soundtrack section

[Ollie 1,061]

That's one thought that had crossed my mind when this thread was started.
