Incanus 5,715 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thanks KK! The original album is a terrific one but the new complete score release is just a more fully rounded and satisfying experience to my ears. It is admittedly a personal favourite of mine and to my mind still among Newman's best. Apart from a few brief and atmospheric pieces like Prison Entrance, First Rape and Elmo Blatch the whole score is a very engaging and enjoyable listen from start to finish. It is in the best sense of the word "a film score" as Newman's scores often gain a lot from their connection to the films they underscore, so knowing the film probably enhances the listening experience for me but the musical narrative is in itself highly evocative.

mstrox 6,651 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I am pumped for all of these CD releases to varying degrees.

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Batman: The Animated Series Vol. 4 for me. It's probably going to be a smaller set than the two previous ones, right? Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 2 CDs. Basically, the entire run of the first 65 episodes' scores could have fit into three 4CD sets, but since they only did 2 CDs the first time around, it ended up being 2-4-4-2 instead of 4-4-4. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Some direct sales tidbits from MV Quote Interesting stats on our website sale numbers. Ferris already cracked the top 20 of all time in its first 3 days of release 1. STAR TREK THE MOTION PICTURE 2. STAR TREK THE ORIGINAL SERIES 3. HOOK 4. INDEPENDENCE DAY 5. BATMAN (1989) 6. BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: BLOOD AND CHROME 7. THE X-FILES VOLUME ONE 8. BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES VOLUME 2 9. A.I. 10. STAR TREK V 11. THE X FILES VOLUME 2 12. BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES 13. HE MAN AND THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE 14. STAR TREK DEEP SPACE 9 15. BATMAN MASK OF THE PHANTASM 16. BATMAN RETURNS 17. FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF 18. CLUE 19. SUPERMAN RETURNS 20. MARS ATTACKS Quote This list is just direct website sales. Not wholesale. The BSG titles blow everything out of the water if you count wholesale figures. MV Quote As stated above, the sales only reflect what we sold directly via our website and does not include wholesale or distributor figures. If we included those, Battlestar Galactica seasons 1 2 3 and 4 plus the Mini Series would be at the top of our all time sales along with, wait for it, MIRRORMASK. Yeah, we sold a ton of those through our distributor during our license. Odd, huh? MV Quote Titles like Braveheart and Dances sold incredibly well across the board. I think we have 500 Braveheart left. Dances has sold over half the run of 5000 units so far. Its just that they sold well on our website as well as Screen Archives, Intrada, etc... http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=115631&forumID=1&archive=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Well these are just a listing of sales through their own website, and NOT an aggregate of all sales that include Amazon, Screen Archives, and all the other places that carry their CDs.

Skelly 261 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I figured the higher price tag for Vol. 2 might make Vol. 1 a more desirable item for the casual Batman fan. But maybe I shouldn't be too surprised; I suppose by the time Vol. 2 was released, customers were beginning to think in terms of "La-La Land has released a new Batman" as opposed to "Amazon has a new Batman CD listed" and bought it directly from the LLL website.

As is the 4-CD set a couple weeks after (even though we got a lot of DC stuff during the summer, I'm hoping that this is Batman Beyond or something actually it's likely X-Files Vol. 3, which they teased at Comic-con.).

Bilbo 3,709 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 They won't start with 3. It'll be PS (15tg anniversary this year too) and work their way through them. How far they get is another thing but Potter will sell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skelly 261 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Not necessarily. They didn't make an expanded edition to X-Men 1 before doing one for X2.

nightscape94 965 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Since Williams scored the first three films I don't see them skipping around on the releases, especially since HP1 is probably just as, if not more, coveted by the mainstream fans Bilbo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
