Jay 37,368 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I know, it's been a while, but now that we've returned from 1985 it seems like a good time for a couple good, old-fashioned CD Club releases. We'll announce them Monday, June 22.

Frank Vincent 234 Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 According to Varèse's twitter page there will also be a Club CD release on Thursday. Nothing about this on their facebook page which says Club CD releases will be announced on Monday.https://twitter.com/VareseSarabande/status/610869512712290305/photo/1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Way to promote yourself, Varese! On Robert Townson's Facebook: I know, it's been a while, but now that we've returned from 1985 it seems like a good time for a couple of good, old-fashioned CD Club releases. We'll announce them Monday, June 22. See you next week! (This implies Midnight PST as Varese has traditionally always done) On Varese's Facebook: I know, it's been a while, but now that we've returned from 1985 it seems like a good time for a couple good old-fashioned CD Club releases. We'll announce them Monday, June 22 at 10AM. See you next week! 10am? OK, that's new. On Twitter: New CD Club title announcement this Thursday- what do you think it’s going to be? Sound off - and see in 2 days! Thursday the 18th? OK.... what the heck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Varese's Electric Light Orchestra performs mellow pop-synth ballad versions of your favourite main themes from the 80s on 10 magnificent discs? You know what's really sad about that 1985 set? That the first disc containing new re-recordings is actually a very nice compilation. Should have been released as such. Bit 1990's, sure, but very pleasant nontheless.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,368 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'd buy that single disc for $20 if I could. I ain't buying the box for $100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That box is actually just a ploy in order to have massive sales on that CD of rerecordings once it's released as a single disc. Everyone will then pick that release up very quickly, since it will be released in limited numbers "due to popular fan demand".It's brilliant. Nobody will know that the 1985 box does not exist because nobody's bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,368 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 What do you mean?

They are said Monday's batch is 5 titles (1 Club and 4 LE).One of the LEs could be Seventh Son or the Monkey King!Hopefully the Club title is Starship Troopers, Volcano, BTTF3, or Air Force One...I meant that I was momentarily surprised at another batch right after this one, but then I remembered this one only had two releases so it didn't mean a sudden influx of releases.I'd definitely buy AF1, possibly Volcano too. They have a load from 1997 actually - really good year for scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,368 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Lost; The Last Episodes is the only thing I've ever bought from their Limited line as well.
