A nice, eclectic mix, @JTWfan77.

JNH's theme for DANTE'S PEAK is good.

SEVENTH VOYAGE OF SINBAD? Any Herrmann is good Herrmann.

Hopefully we get a DE including John Debney's contributions at some point.

Picked some unexpected bargains at the second hand shop in London:

 

 

Karol 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

Ooh! EYE OF THE NEEDLE. Nice.

Which shop?

[crocodile 7,973]

Notting Hill Gate's Music and Video Exchange. Or something like that. They had some decent selection of Golden Age stuff. Wish I could get more.

 

Karol

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

Indeed. It's not cheap, in there.

Did you try Dress Circle, in Monmouth St.? They mostly stick to show stuff, but the last time I was in there, they had a few decent OSTs.

[crocodile 7,973]

I picked those four for £20 but, yeah  some stuff goes for quite a lot.

 

Karol

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

4 for £20 is not bad, at all.

I've just looked on eBay.

EYE OF THE NEEDLE CD is selling for £87:02 

[1977 1,743]

Another eclectic mix

[Bespin 8,472]

Too much eclectic to get a like.

Glad you found some stuff. They had a load of golden age FSM albums when I was there the other week but I had most of them (or wasn’t interested). Still a shame their classical range isn’t that big.

I thought their physical shop had closed?

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

It may have. It's been a while since I was there.

(one minute later)

Oops! I just Google Mapped it. It's shut. Bummer.

Shame. I hoped I was wrong but my other half is a big musical theatre fan and was sadly fairly sure I was right. The amazing classical shop near soho has closed too. Can’t even remember what it was called now. Then again I’m in France at the moment and physical stores are so expensive compared to online. €18 for a single disc classical album compared to around a tenner or less at Presto (either digital FLAC or CD). 

[crocodile 7,973]

Picked up one more thing as well:

 

 

Karol 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

Any Johnny Greenwood is good Johnny Greenwood.

Was that bought at Fopp on Cambridge Circus?

Were you following me? 😄

 

Yeah, I went there on my way to the Sondheim Theatre.

 

But then, you probably know that already too. 🤣

 

Karol

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

I didn't know, but I guessed. Since you were in theatreland, I made the assumption that the nearest music shop was Fopp. It was either that, or HMV, in Coventry Street, but they have different price stickers.

So they permanently scaled down the classical section after the flooding? That would be a shame. There's not too many soundtracks I'm missing these days that have been released and could show up in a shop like this, but there always used to be a shit ton of interesting (and cheap) classical/contemporary stuff to choose from in the basement.

I think they’re having issues with the insurance still and so they haven’t been able to repair the damage from the flooding. I assume they’ll restock it when they finally sort that out but feels like it could take a while unfortunately. Like you, there’s not many soundtracks that I’ve picked up there (but do find the odd surprise, I found a few Waxman albums from FSM last time) but often cleaned up in the classical section. Fingers crossed it gets sorted soon.

Bits and bobs from the holy trinity:

 

 

Karol

[Jay 37,249]

Ordered direct from Intrada

 

    

[Andy 4,070]

Now that's a nice haul.  I am dragging my feet on SpaceCamp and Last Starfighter for no good reason.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

Get THE LAST STARFIGHTER, forget SPACECAMP.

Fixed 

[bollemanneke 3,334]

Tchaikovsky, symphonies 4-6, Karajan, 70s. Thank you to the postal service for the huge scratch on the case and Thank you to the BPO for the fiery performance.

[Bespin 8,472]

Tchaikovsky's symphonies in summer... are you in depression?

[bollemanneke 3,334]

Well I'm not exactly in a super happy place, but I just bought them now after having discovered them on that huge 240 CD set from DG, money had come my way so I thought, why not now? Also bought his beethoven's eroica, 70s.

[Marian Schedenig 8,153]

I'm waiting for a good deal on Karajan's complete Tchaikovsky cycle on Blu. And the Blu edition of his 60s Beethoven, to replace my trusty old DG Resonance releases from the early 90s.

[Bespin 8,472]

I already wanted to try to find a satisfying cycle for Tchaikovsky's symphonies... I stated very quickly that Karajan was not the answer.

 

What about Mariss Jansons?

PS: BTW I should never have purchased these 76/77 Karajan recordings with The Berliner Philh. That's not Tchaikovsky. I can sell it to you, if you want.

 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

Will people please, stop "fixing" my posts??!!!!

[Bespin 8,472]

I just fixed a big ommission in my CD collection.

 

Following the success of the movie and its very "strange" use of his song "In Dreams", Roy Orbison re-recorded the song in 1987, proved beneficial to his 80's comeback.

 

[Holko 9,491]

Thankfully the labels are in downtime (as far as I'm concerned at least), so I can continue exploring ambient and jazz!

Just acquired the SCORE CD for STIII.

Looking forward to the unreleased cues from the ost- which I own.

 

I think there is app. Sixteen minutes(?)

It's a fine score from a great sequel, which overturns the "three is the worst" accepted way of thinking.

"Sunset On Genesis" is sublime.

[Sweeping Strings 2,342]

For people to declare The Search For Spock the worst original crew ST movie when The Final Frontier exists is ... illogical. 

[Naïve Old Fart 9,488]

III, and V are my second and third favourite Star Trek films, in that order.

[The Illustrious Jerry 3,356]

 

A top-notch order from earlier in the year. Jumped on Empire of the Sun instantly after years of it being out of stock. Also very happy to finally own one of Goldsmith's finest. À ta santé!

V is getting more appreciation as the decades go by.  Honestly, I always loved it.  It's a big "Kirk debunks a false God" episode.  Classic Trek.  It has a connection to Star Trek Strange New Worlds, so I think you're going to see some renewed interest in the zeitgeist.

[Marian Schedenig 8,153]

V certainly doesn't have the best story, but it may have some of the best character/camaraderie stuff and the second best score of the series.
