indy4 155 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I don't buy from either place if I can help it. They're too expensive. I will check the brick and mortar stores every so often because they would carry a decent selection of film scores that can't be bought in other brick and mortars, but by now, I think I've nabbed them all and moved wholly to the specialty labels. Sometimes their discount racks offer goodies, and the "complete works by author for $10" are really good deals, except I have enough books I don't read.Yeah, I only buy from them when I have giftcards. Other than that, there's no incentive for me to buy as long as the Amazon marketplace exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just found Earthquake on eBay for $30! For that price I couldn't say no...I doubt I'll ever see it that cheap again, unless one of the labels takes it. Also reordered The Best of the Canadian Brass from Amazon marketplace.Okay, my spending spree is officially over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'd imagine it's not too high on labels' priorities. I doubt we'll see Earthquake before Hook, Towering Inferno, Dracula, Jaws 2, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Well I didn't expect a re-issue of The Poseidon Adventure before any of those titles so you never know what the labels have in store.I would love a remastered version of Earthquake without those damn sound effects mixed in the cues.I haven't bought any film scores since Intrada's last batch and it's been a nice break.

Omen II 1,235 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I would love a remastered version of Earthquake without those damn sound effects mixed in the cues.My preference would be for a 2-disc release including the original Earthquake album rerecording (with the tracks correctly labelled this time!) and the original soundtrack as recorded for the movie - assuming the masters survive at Universal - much like Varese Sarabande did with The Fury, Damien: Omen II and others. The fact that a much longer take of the film version of Something For Rosa was used as source music for one of the additional scenes in the extended TV movie version in the late 70s gives me hope that the original film recordings must have survived away from the original movie soundtrack.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I've listened to a little bit of it, it sounds nice.

indy4 155 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 A bunch of CDs arrived today:Pops Britannia (my final holiday present)The Best of the Canadian BrassWish Upon a StarEarthquakeWish Upon a Star was a little disapointing. I haven't heard the music yet, but it arrived in an envelope with no bubblewrap, so naturally there's a giant crack in the case. There's a really sticky residue on about a third of the back of the case, and the booklet had a sticker that was really sloppily removed on it - so much of it remains that I can't even read whatever is written under it. I wouldn't mind any of this if it was indicated in the item listing, but this CD was listed as "Like New!" However, that is offset by Earthquake. I only ordered it a few days ago,and it has already arrived. This thing is in pretty much flawless condition. If it were sealed and didn't have the little cut in the bar code (both of which were described very clearly in the item description on eBay), it could easily pass as a new CD.

I could probably scratch it off if it were on the case, but this is on the booklet.Regardless, this seller needs to advertise more truthfully. If I buy a Like New product, I don't expect to have to scratch a sticker residue off (or, in this case, just live with it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carrie and Bugs Bunny at the Symphony (just listening to it) are outstanding!However, they probably made a mistake at SAE so I received a second package which I didn't order, looks like they mistakenly sent me somebody else's order. It contains Carrie, Big Trouble in Little China, Maurice Jarre's Concert Works and Les deux mondes. Did any of you guys order this? I'm contacting them on Monday to see what to do, I think the easiest was for me would be just to get the proper customer's address and resend the package directly to him/her ...

Marian Schedenig 8,195 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ben Folds: Stems and SeedsAfter complaints about the too radio-normalised undynamic mix of his 2008 album Way to Normal, Folds re-released the whole thing in 2009 with a remastered mix, all bonus tracks, and a second disc with Garage Band files for all the original album's song's parts.If someone did this for a Williams score, some of our hobby score editors here would be all over it.

Not familiar with him beyond that.Introduced to him when he opened for Tori Amos in LA a few years back, round about the time Arnold was voted Governor.Loved that show.
