RedBard 71 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 How much did you have to shell out for that set?Only $200.It wasn't limited to 1000Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,476 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 It's not limited at all. They originally announced it as limited to 1,000, but then they ended up just giving a bonus disc to the first 1,000 and making it a normal release. It came out 4 years ago and it's still in print today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,476 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Wow! You're right - it is finally OOP now! It was still in print and available at multiple retailers the last time I checked. I wonder when it went OOP!And yea, no matter what, $200 is a freaking awesome price. I would have paid that for it for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBard 71 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 What really sucks is that now that it's OOP, some people are justifying a higher price than Warner Bros, some as high as $800 (!?).Their reason: the 17th bonus CD with Elfman's signature on it.There was even an eBay listing for just the signed bonus CD.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've listened to it on Spotify before. It seems a bit short but I enjoy the actual score.

Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I've listened to it on Spotify before. It seems a bit short but I enjoy the actual score. The disc is 64 minutes long. That's with the duplicate Hymn, but it's still the usual length for a JW score, and many people have argued that it's too long for the film. I agree that it *seems* short though, because even though there's an hour of music, most of it is very sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamTheater 131 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Today I've ordered at my favourite store SAE:- The Nightmare Before Christmas (Elfman, second-hand): it's been many years since hearing this, and I had never owned it legally, but this is one of the few Elfman's that I like a lot.- Shaft (Arnold): I didn't order it instantly because the boot of this was cool, but not great. I expect this release to be a whole lot better. And this is still from Arnold's early excellent years.- Predator 2 DE (Silvestri): His action sound was at the top with Predator and to get more of that sound should be enough reason for me.

DreamTheater 131 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I order at Screen Archives all the time, only on a couple of occasions I've ordered at the publisher itself, when it's only one item for example, or if it's a severely limited release. The number one reason for me to use SAE is the ability to import lots of scores without fear of having to pay huge amounts of import taxes, and secondly because most of these scores will never be available to buy in this little backward country of mine.
