Label Threads The Official Intrada Thread

[Jay 37,364]

Roger has provided another clue. So we have 3 clues:

One Signature Edition at 1200. One Special Collection at 1000.

[About the release that the first 2 clips were not from] It's just a straight LP re-issue. Actually, two LPs put on one disc. Both by the same composer.

Both from the 60s.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

If it's less than 3,000 copies it's usually something I won't be interested in, I'm starting to realize.

[Jay 37,364]

ditto

it's almost most often something I've never heard of

[Wojo 2,453]

It'll be nice to go another week without making a big soundtrack purchase. I need to eat sometime.

[Diego 21]

Eating is for the weak. Only scores matter.

[Ollie 1,059]

As a film score fan you must have priorities and sacrifices must be made.

[John Crichton 4]

Like trying to figure out the nutritional value of a Zimmer CD?

[Wojo 2,453]

If I was starving in the desert, not even The Blue Box could save me. All the fiber from the box and book would kill me even quicker.

[Trent B 337]

If it's less than 3,000 copies it's usually something I won't be interested in, I'm starting to realize.

I've known that for a long time.

[Richard Penna 3,689]

I usually find myself considering stuff below 3000.

Somehow the idea of liking film scores instils a feeling in me that if something is generally popular, I won't like it.

[John Takis 206]

I did the liners for this upcoming signature edition, and it's terrific!

Says the guy who does get food from score releases!

[Diego 21]

I liked his liners on Shogun.

[John Takis 206]

Glad you enjoyed them, Diego!

And fommes, is it my fault if Intrada sticks to releasing quality scores?

[John Crichton 4]

Intrada steals my money!

[Trent B 337]

The two Intrada's are up

Billie / Popi by Dominic Frontiere, limited to 1,000 copies.

Cervantes by Les Baxter, limited to 1,200 copies.

[Jay 37,364]

Never heard of the films, completely unfamiliar with either composer.

[Richard Penna 3,689]

Forgot about the announcement tonight until Intrada tweeted - they lost me last week with the 'both 60s' clue. I'm actually a tad more excited about LLL this year.

[Trent B 337]

Like Koray stated in another thread (I believe) that generally anything under 3,000 lately isn't really worth considering by me.

[Henry B 50]

The Poe films produced by Roger Corman sparked my interest in Les Baxter's music. Those scores haven't been released, but this Cervantes sounds really good. I think I'll order it.

[John Takis 206]

Cervantes down to less than 200 at Intrada, according to Doug Fake.

[Jay 37,364]

Next week's releases:

Two special collection releases. One at 1000 and the other at 2000.

[Frank Vincent 234]

Well, in the pecking order of this composer's work, this one ranks pretty high. Golden obscurity sums up the other from the UA catalog.

[Ollie 1,059]

Yeah but it will be at either 2000 or 1000 units so I don't think it will be something that most of you would be interested in.

[John Crichton 4]

But it could still be something good.

[Ollie 1,059]

That's why I said "most".

Some of us might actually like it.

[Richard Penna 3,689]

Low quantity can mean good. The sticking point is whether your favourite grail is popular or not, and I have no idea whether any of mine are worth 3000 units.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

But if it's by a big composer, the minimum is usually 3,000, especially when it's done by FSM or Intrada. I think the only JW score limited to less is Images at 2,000 from Prometheus.

[Richard Penna 3,689]

A Varese release from one of my favourite composers was a 1000, whereas Eraser doesn't strike me as a score that would be big enough for 3000 copies. I don't think these numbers can be read that deeply.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

A Varese release from one of my favourite composers was a 1000

Russkies?

I didn't say favorite composers, I said big composers. But perhaps I should say big scores, which I guess is obvious that those will be 3,000+

[Richard Penna 3,689]

Yes, it was Russkies.

But yes, I'd agree that it's about big scores. But I'm just saying that a smaller film doesn't make any less chance that it's something really good, and at the moment, unless Roger explicitly says it's an LP reissue, or pre-80s, I'm generally open to possibilities

The usual mad guessing going on @ Intrada. Now seems to be assuming something from Ernest Gold, and something starring Gregory Peck...

[Koray Savas 2,251]

There was a movie I seen one time, I think I sat through it twice. I don’t remember who I was or where I was bound. All I remember about it was it starred Gregory Peck, he wore a gun and he was shot in the back. Seems like a long time ago, long before the stars were torn down.

[Ollie 1,059]

I'm beginning to wonder if some of them actually pay attention to the thread they are posting in.

[Trent B 337]

From their postings Mark, it seems a lot of them don't.

[Ollie 1,059]

New clues:

One is from the 70's and one is from the 60's. Can be found in the March 30th thread at Intrada.

[Henry B 50]

Cervantes by Les Baxter and The Manhattan Project by Philippe Sarde arrived. Yay! Probably my first 1000-1500 release. So limited, yet so good.

[Andy 4,128]

How is Manhattan Project as a listening experience? I liked some of the samples, but someone on FSM was saying the orchestral and synth cues don't mix well. I may still pick this up.

[Ollie 1,059]

Jerry Fielding's Straw Dogs is the 2000 copy. The other one might be Ernest Gold's A Child Is Waiting.

[Henry B 50]

How is Manhattan Project as a listening experience? I liked some of the samples, but someone on FSM was saying the orchestral and synth cues don't mix well. I may still pick this up.

I think it's united enough as a listening experience. There really aren't any synth cues, just orchestral cues weighted toward the brass and synclavier. As a whole, it hasn't had the electrifying effect on me that Pour Sacha had (what's the deal? - Pour Sacha isn't even considered one of Sarde's major works as far as I can tell), but it's still quite good. I think it will improve as it sinks in. The recording quality is remarkably poor for 1986, but it's definitely adequate.

Cervantes is excellent. It has that infectious, chamber sound characteristic of, say, Star Trek TOS. I doubt Les Baxter and John Williams were intimately familiar with each others' music, but for Williams fans there's much to enjoy. Lots of peculiar wind harmonies and stately brass writing.

[Trent B 337]

Tonight's two releases are...

A Child Is Waiting by Ernest Gold limited to 1,000 copies

Straw Dogs by Jerry Fielding limited to 2,000 copies

[Richard Penna 3,689]

I actually recognise the name of Straw Dogs. I kind of like two of the clips too. Might even consider it tomorrow in a fit of madness...

[Joe Brausam 214]

Wow, two knockout releases as far as I'm concerned! I ordered both, plus I finally ordered Players.

[Ollie 1,059]

Next batch, 2 releases:

One at 3000 copies

One at 1000 copies - 2 discs.

[Jay 37,364]

Ho ho, 3000 units? Sounds promising.

Though, its more than likely a Jerry Goldsmith score to a movie I've never seen

[Diego 21]

If it's a Goldsmith here's hoping for Masada.

[Richard Penna 3,689]

Random suggestion for the 1000 2-CD: Poledouris' Breakdown - used and rejected.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

Ho ho, 3000 units? Sounds promising.

Sounds good to me!

[Trent B 337]

Hmm, sorta hoping it's not something I want... I mean the 3,000 set. Gonna be interesting though with what they release on the 13th.

[John Crichton 4]

Though, its more than likely a Jerry Goldsmith score to a movie I've never seen

Most aren't worth seeing.
