Amer 2,080 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Luckily I noticed the fringes coming off much earlier and had to request a free copy from SAE as they had plenty in stock back then. You should email SAE and ask if they still have more of these around. Send a polite email to Katie. She always helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin the awesome book that comes with the box was in a fine condition and feels an looks very sturdy based on my initial perusal. Gratias ago, amicissime. I remember I also received the BB just like you did - "in a sturdy box with bubble wrap and other padding it arrived pristine". But unfortunately, after a few days, the book started to fall apart as seen on the photos. But surely, SAE will have rectified the issue by now, I remember that soon after many complaints surfaced, they started replacing books free of charge but I didn't apply for it back then so I don't know if the replacements were actually of better quality. 47 minutes ago, azahid said: Luckily I noticed the fringes coming off much earlier and had to request a free copy from SAE as they had plenty in stock back then.

Naïve Old Fart 9,495 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Yesterday, I picked-up the Disney re-issue of ROBIN HOOD. In fact, I'm right now. This is delightful stuff, and it's become the "must have" reissue of 2017...at least, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,983 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Film is watchable but hardly mandatory to see. The (melo-)drama and spectacle are both conjured successfully enough in Horner's score. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,499 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Totally unexpectedly met the Spielberg-Williams collab set in the local tech store, so I couldn't leave the poor guy there all alone! Weirdly, I think I enjoyed the 3rd disc the most on the first listening. It had the most new material for me, and I liked most of it - Afrika, Escapades, and Immigration and Building were almost worth the price of the whole set. Most of the first disc and half the second I already know by heart (although new arrangements and recordings are always nice), and I don't like how inexplicably Hook-heavy the second disc is. (Not that any of it it's bad by any means, but a third of the tracks reserved for it seems overkill.) I also saw the JW conducts music from SW with BPO 2CD, but I left it there for now. The first disc will be completely redundant when I get the upcoming E.T. and the inevitable SWOT set, and for the second disc, I'll have to look into how good that Planets performance is.

Josh500 1,615 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I beg to disagree. Bram Stoker's Dracula is a minor masterpiece! The best Dracula movie, by far. The atmosphere, the setting are just unique.... It's a visual treat, and that alone could carry the movie (well, that and the score). Plus, Winona Ryder was hot!

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I like it! Cool movie. But a bit of a mess, all the same. The visuals and Oldman's hammy performance definitely carry it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
