Here's the auction description:

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION BEST ORIGINAL SCORE BY JAMES HORNER FOR THE FILM "AVATAR"

This is a 3 Disc set, each individual in a slim jewel case..with front insert only!

DISC 1 has 21 Tracks . Running Time :54 minutes

DISC 2 has 21 Tracks. Running Time :63 minutes

DISC 3 has 9 Tracks. Running Time 30 minutes

Oh yea, and Dan Goldwasser confirmed that it's legit.

I think Hitch just creamed his pants

[crocodile 8,113]

So there's 67 minutes of music out there. I'd like to hear this one.

Karol

[King Mark 3,632]

can't wait to listen to it

[Wojo 2,453]

You can clearly see that it's not sealed. It has no more value in a shrink-wrapped vault than on somebody's iPod.

If we all pitch in a couple bucks, we could keep it in the family, so to speak.

[King Mark 3,632]

it hasn't "shown up" anywhere yet...

k.m.Who knew he heard a lot of music in the film that's not on the c.d.

[Greg1138 3]

Hmmmmm......I thought the whole "FYC" CD thing had had the mockers put on it a couple of years ago?

Greg

[King Mark 3,632]

Guess not

[Demondm810 399]

There is another 18 track FYC promo on Ebay as well, with track listings.... Jason, how sure are you of the legitimacy of the 3 disc?? I am thinking about placing a monstrous bid.

[Ollie 1,069]

Dan Goldwasser confirmed it was legit.

He's a producer for LaLaLand.

[Brock Lovett 6,507]

Wish they'd submitted something like this for Titanic.

[King Mark 3,632]

this score is much better than Titanic

[Wojo 2,453]

This will go for $400.

[King Mark 3,632]

it's likely there's more copies floating around though.

[Wojo 2,453]

I sure hope so.

[Trent B 337]

Give it time it'll show up.

[Diego 21]

Couldn't it technically fit on 2 CDs?

[Trent B 337]

Couldn't it technically fit on 2 CDs?

Ya it can, not sure why it was divided up as 3-CD's.

[Joe Brausam 216]

I'll bet it was put on three CDs to make the work seem longer and more substantial, and thus more deserving of the award.

[scallenger 487]

I would love to get the entire score, if only for most of the action/battle music, which was really trimmed down on the CD release, sadly. Especially for the climax, I thought.

[King Mark 3,632]

I noticed the brass fanfares at 1.15 in War was cut out of the film

[Quintus 5,399]

this score is much better than Titanic

No, but it's bloody good nonetheless. I want to get my grubby hands on this.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,799]

oh mumma

[gkgyver 1,646]

What are the chances that there is music on there that I'll find great, if I don't enjoy the commercial album?

[Jay 37,569]

Did you see the film?

[Luke Skywalker 1,815]

I'll bet it was put on three CDs to make the work seem longer and more substantial, and thus more deserving of the award.

I hope the voters dont fall for that...

UP has to win the oscar...

It would be interesting to hear this.

Couldn't it technically fit on 2 CDs?

Ya it can, not sure why it was divided up as 3-CD's.

They pressed it on 3-D(iscs) to enhance the experience

[publicist 4,643]

Couldn't it technically fit on 2 CDs?

It sure as hell fits into one Rapidshare link...

[Quintus 5,399]

Damn straight!

Although for me Megaupload would be preferrable.

[Incanus 5,738]

Well now we just have to wait for a little while and this will be on the internet. I would not mind hearing more music as I thought Horner served his usual material in a particularly interesting way with Avatar.

[Quintus 5,399]

I only really want the full length film version of 'War', particulary the music heard after the "Eywa has heard you" scene. I think the ost already covers a great deal of the other highlights.

[crocodile 8,113]

Yes, this section and the early action cue when Jack is separated from the rest. And throw in some "source" (though not exactly) music from the scene when they try to save Weaver's character (church-like singing) and I'll be happy.

Karol

[Luke Skywalker 1,815]

just a thought about why 3cds:

Horner usually makes big tracks (ie 10 minutes)

maybe if split only in 2cds one of those long tracks gets in the middle and therefore, if it's put on disc 1 its more than 80 min and same with cd 2.

[davros72 1]

Ooooh, it's soooooooo tempting to post something like "Guys, the complete Avatar score is already available, the CDs have just been cunningly retitled as "Glory" and "Titanic" and..."

... but I will refrain from officially posting anything sarcastic like that.

(Kinda surprised no one else has yet, too.)

[Ollie 1,069]

The original album is good enough for me. Any Horner score over 60-70 minutes is too much.

[crocodile 8,113]

The original album is fine, but what it lacks is the resolution. There is practically no music from the end of the picture, apart from the the of the War track.

Several years ago, I posted a clip from Schumann's 3rd symphony on April 1st and claimed it was from an expanded release of Willow. I think a few people fell for it.

Karol

Yes and much of the music from the end of the movie is really good stuff. Having seen the movie (or its highlights) a good few times via a good screener, I would say some of the very best bits of the score are absent from the ost. But I could live with just getting the Eywa cue, from this promo.

[publicist 4,643]

It's not the second coming of film music, but there are enough worthwile soundscapes and melodic touches (apart from the terrible tribe chanting stuff) to make it a worthwile experience. And 147 minutes must include yet unreleased stuff which may offer some surprises.

[Demondm810 399]

[Trent B 337]

Now the big kicker is does ANYONE have it yet?

[MissPadmé 17]

I just entered 1000$

hope this item will be mine...

[Demondm810 399]

I've entered my max bid, I don't think I stand a chance with 4 days left though.

[Richard Penna 3,789]

I find it very disappointing that the obvious demand for this music is being used as a mega-money-making activity, especially since whoever's selling it clearly got it free.

But yes, I hope it leaks soon.

I just entered 1000$

hope this item will be mine...

Hehe, you're funny.

... right?

[Koray Savas 2,251]

At this rate I won't be surprised if it gets to 1K.

[Richard Penna 3,789]

And I'd hate the seller even more. I don't believe in things obtained for free being used for profit. Just wrong.

[crocodile 8,113]

No score is worth this much. But there are probably a few idiots ready to pay for this. Ah, well. Good for us.

Karol

[King Mark 3,632]

What if it was a complete Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone promo?

[crocodile 8,113]

This one will get a nice release eventually, I'm sure. Generally speaking I'm a patient person.

Karol

[Trent B 337]

What if it was a complete Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone promo?

We all know there's complete versions for the first three potters with out sfx, it's been confirmed but doubt they'll leak.

[Richard Penna 3,789]

First three? hmm. I only knew about the first two.

I would say "in a year or two" but next year is the 10th anniversary, and the optimist in me says maybe WB will do something special.
