To those of you who pass up on BTTF 3, MEH to you. I for one bought BTTF 3.

I'd love to get Chain Reaction but right now I've got to be choosy on what to buy.

So you can be choosy, but others being choosy is 'meh'?

I remember your reaction to people passing on the first one.

Ordered BTTF3.

I was in two frames of mind though about who to order this through as Intrada is not only selling Pt2 but Pt3 as well. However, they state they're not shipping Pt3 until November.

Actually, I ordered mine from Varese because I want it sooner rather than later and I didn't want to wait until November which is when Intrada will be shipping their copies out.

About Starship Troopers, Ford A. Thaxton posted this, on Oct 27th, on FSM message boards:

As the old saying goes 'All Good Things come to those who Wait..."

I think this might appear sooner then later.

So he almost confirms this one is coming (yes, like Winter...).

Well, I want to see between the words that he did post because he knows. He's a producer + he met Poledouris' daughter recently...

Taken literally, it'd mean that there will be one release soon and another one later... ;)

CD CLUB coming Monday, November 16. No grails or Deluxe Editions this time but a few Encores that have a bit of a connection. See you Monday!

The Goonies, Ghostbusters and Joe VS. the Volcano would be great ENCORE titles, only if a serious remastering is done (for the last 2)...

Isn't the ENCORE line just used for old OST programs?

Oh boy, you're probably right about it now I think about it, Jay!

EDIT: I would love ENCORE of the JW titles you quoted Jay. But ... they would need a *real* remastering, not a wall-of-sound type of remastering.

I'll take THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY for example: the VS CD was remastered but the sound was just horrible, while the Intrada edition has a natural, beautiful sound.

Well, we'll see about on Monday!

Nothing for me, then. Phew!

Here's hoping for a great traditional Club Batch to end the year! The December batches in 2014 and 2013 were awesome!

So these are proper club releases, not those other limited editions?

Yes.  We know 2 of the 4 are Silvestri's Volcano and Horner's Cocoon: The Return thanks to D2 Mastering again

I'd say it's one of the best Varese 30-minuters in terms of presenting a varied selection of music.

 

But there are lots of lower key bits left off (isn't that always the case), plus almost the entire final demolition sequence.

I hope another is Air Force One or Starship Troopers!

No hope for a Williams?

I mean those that Varese owns in perpetuity or whatever.

Allegedly the Club titles for next week were accidentally published on a banner via Facebook earlier today; did anyone manage to see it before it was removed?

Yes I saw it.  Only 3 out of 5 were in the ad: Spartacus, Volcano, Starship Troopers.
