Wojo 2,453 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If you leave your discs in direct sunlight, like on your dashboard in a clear case or no case, then you might be asking for trouble, and I offer no sympathy.Otherwise they're just a piece of plastic, with less tendency to warp or melt than other pieces of plastic in your car. The part that holds the information is a thin strip of metallic film adhered to the disc. What would go wrong with it?My car never sees internal temperatures above 110 F. I'm worried more about people factors than heat melting my CDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be disappointed with the LOTR complete recordings. They represent the pinnacle in terms of what a comprehensive soundtrack collection ought to sound like and include.

The Blue Box may be in the same boat, but I wouldn't know.I agree about the LOTR complete recordings. By the way the Blue Box is in the same boat. I mean it's got the complete scores for all four Superman films, including a remastered version of the first one. Also music from the animated series by Ron Jones. What more can someone ask for, for Superman?Both the LOTR and Superman sets are worth owning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Then it boils down to taste, whether you want to fork out the extra dough for every last musical drop from these franchises. I'm perfectly happy with the Rhino Superman, am not interested in the slightest in the other discs, but I felt compelled to spend a very pretty penny on the LOTR complete recordings.I listen to the Indy set every once in a while. It's on an MP3 disc in my car, but the ID3 tags are screwed up so I don't enjoy playing it much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Then it boils down to taste, whether you want to fork out the extra dough for every last musical drop from these franchises.That's the key. We all have musical franchises we love and spend time making our collections as comprehensive as possible, while nearly ignoring some others. For me personally, the LotR boxes were produced with such care that I didn't feel the need to edit any tracks - I just included all 3 fan credits and some game rips for unreleased theatrical cues in RotK. Once the rarities appear, I can only imagine the chaos of organising everything.The Indy box must surely be one of the few major Williams releases that everyone on the forum went nuts over (I'm not aware of any regular posters who didn't buy it) and painstakingly made custom versions. It would take a expanded Potter trilogy to give me the excitement some of you got from the Blue Box or the '97 SW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I did even less editing on my LOTR CR set. Though in two instances, I did combine sequential tracks from ROTK into combined tracks because they naturally flowed into each other without break, but with my MP3 software and in my car, I ended up with blips between the tracks, and that's unacceptable.

Richard Penna 3,694 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Yeah, Trent bought them after because they screwed up the distribution. I don't think any of them are very easy to find cheaply even now except maybe FotR.I did make a few early edits in the FotR and RotK boxes, including the full 'Sam rushes up the tower' string fanfare into the extended cue, but in contrast to my usual enthusiasm at editing music, I think the musical presentation here is outstanding (certainly more care here than with Indy) and editing somehow 'dirties' that, so I recently put everything back how it was ripped from the CDs, with only fan credits and video game theatrical rips in addition.I guess it's about how much you trust a composer's judgement, and Shore I trust and respect too much to cut up. Williams is a different story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent Hoyt 13 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I still need TTT and ROTK. I got FOTR for $35 and I don't feel like breaking the bank for the other 2. I try to keep my eyes open though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The Two Towers CR is out of print.Amazon has The Return Of The King CR for about $70. Through the marketplace, you can find it for $50 new. Or you can buy it through their MP3 store for $23.$50 seems reasonable for 4 CD's of music and a DVD.
