The final four FSM CDs are coming—look for #247 in June. We'll probably hit #250 in late summer.

In the meantime, here's a little FSM freebie offer you might enjoy at Screen Archives:

Buy any $50 (not including postage) of FSM CDs and get FREE your pick of ONE the following:

1. All Fall Down/The Outrage

2. Crossed Swords

3. Eye of the Devil (MY personal favorite of this list!)

4. Home From the Hill

5. Maurice Jarre: Concert Works

6. Never So Few/7 Women

7. Ride Vaquero/The Outriders

8. The Ice Pirates

9. The Prisoner of Zenda

10. The Swan

11. Prophecy

Buy $100+ and get two choices, etc.—but NO substitutions. Ask for your freebie in the "notes" field in the SAE check-out process.

FSM CD #248 is almost done and we expect it to be available in mid to late July, a 2CD set. There are only three FSM titles left before we shut the label down and this one will be of great interest, I am sure! (That's not a hint, it's a fact!)

In the meantime, here is a special offer effective today until we say otherwise:

Buy $50 worth of FSM CDs (pre-shipping charges) and get a free gift of one of following 3CD sets:

The Americanization of Emily/The Sandpiper/Drums of Africa—three gorgeous Johnny Mandel scores, so beautiful!

Dr. Kildare—a whole disc of stunning early Goldsmith television music, plus music by Sukman, Stevens, Schifrin, Green, Kaper and others. LIMITED QUANTITIES FOR THIS OFFER! We may pull it back at any time!

Kenner/More Than a Miracle—by the late, great Piero Piccioni.

Northwest Passage—3CD westerns collection with the oft-requested Herbert Stothart score to Northwest Passage plus rare M-G-M scores by Cyril Mockridge, Harry Sukman and David Shire.

The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T.—an exhaustive archive of music to the Dr. Seuss cult classic.

To use this special offer, order as usual and if your order qualifies, request your free gift in the “notes” field during the SAE check-out process. (Order $100 of FSM CDs and get two free gifts, $150 and pick three, etc.)

Please, no substitutions or special requests—these freebie offers have to be processed manually by SAE and I have to talk them into this kind of special offer because of the work it generates.

Trying to decide which FSM titles to buy? Here’s a list of the CDs with low stocks (quantities of fewer than 150 remaining):

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Moross) 137

The Appointment (Legrand/Barry/Phillips) 137

The Egyptian (Newman/Herrmann) 51 ($4.95 sale!)

Farewell My Lovely/Monkey Shines (Shire) 117 - with greatest theme ever written for Charlotte Rampling

Grand Prix (Jarre) 144

Green Mansions (Kaper/Villa-Lobos) 102

A Guide for the Married Man (Williams) 145 - insane Johnny Williams comedy score

Lord Jim/The Long Ships (Kaper/Radic) 148

Lust for Life (Rózsa) 129

Moonfleet (Rózsa) 78 - Rózsa does "Greensleeves," gorgeous!

Two Weeks in Another Town (Raksin) 13 (!!)

The Yakuza (Grusin) 29 (!) - when it's OOP soon, you'll have to cut off a finger to find it...

They have not dropped a single clue about any of their final 3 releases, other than the tidbits said about #248 two posts above yours

It could probably fit on two discs. I copied Star Wars for a friend back in the day and just gave him two discs' worth of the 20th Century Fox Fanfare, repeated over and over again.

I'm not familiar with that film or score; Would the whole thing fit on 2 discs?

you should watch Close Encounters of the Third Kind, you get to see about five of the ten commandments.

Hmm, I think I've got most of the FSM titles that I want to own, but that Northern Passage set sounds intriguing and $50 is easy to spend. I think I'd rather put it towards all the other fabulous western releases that are piling up in my SAE cart though.

Both Nic Raine and Bruce Kimmel have confirmed that Ten Commandments is being worked on, and is likely to be released soon. We just don't know which label.

Barry's Kong has become a favorite guess after FSM discounted it to $5, and Lukas said they wouldn't be pressing any more. Since both The Egyptian and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea were discounted before new releases came out, it seems safe to assume that a new Kong is on it's way...but I don't think there's been any official confirmation of that. And it's worth noting that the other two discounted scores were re-released by other labels, not by FSM (not that necessarily means anything).

SAE gave me a 10% coupon cause I've had so much stuff in my cart for so long. I wonder if they'd extend it until this is announced, it expires on Sunday.

I got the same discount too, I was really hoping the new title would be up while it was valid. But with my luck they'll announce it on Monday.

What!? Perhaps I should start putting stuff in my cart before I order something, too. I've easily left thousands of dollars at SAE over the past few years, but no coupon.

I guess I'm too used to some other stores purging my cart every once in a while, so I usually don't bother putting something in if I'm not going to order it soon. But I'll do that from now on at SAE.

Chris @ SAE says:

The 6 days difference of the previous 2 releases is purely coincidence I can assure you. No new FSM announcement today.

Bummer. Hopefully soon!

Chris @ SAE posted an update on #249:

It's still coming. Probably within a week unless something further has changed since last I heard.

Again, the previous 6 day gaps are pure coincidence, but the speculation is amusing so have at it. For example, we were going to turn Body Heat on the prior Friday, but decided to wait until Monday to pair it with Intrada's release day so people could combine items if preferred.

Well FSM's forum has been down all day so far. Does anyone know why it's down and when it's coming back? Does Lukas or anyone at SAE/FSM post updates about it somewhere? I've seen nothing on any of their Facebook pages

That's what I was thinking at first, but the FSM Facebook never had an "Off to the plant!" notice, like their last 5-6 titles all did.

It's down for me too. 99% of the time if it crashes it's because of a new (popular) release. The other 1% is most likely due to forum maintenance.

Oh no, now it gives me this message: "Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)"

I hope they weren't hacked.
