Yeah, this is a useful thread. I wonder should it be made "sticky" in the "Express" section?

Damn.. I gotta pick up Cinderella Liberty one of these days.

Its funny Spacecamp didnt even managed to be on the list on this thread...

That's because it came and went in 24 hours. No one had a chance to update the thread.

I enjoyed all 3 volumes just about equally, other then of course finding The Mission far superior to anything else on the sets

All 3 volumes features a wonderful variety of good film scoring

Oh hell, I'm totally unfamiliar with these and I've snagged all three.

They've been on my "I'll have to look into that" list forever.

I figure at the least I could turn around and resell them once they're out of print.

"The Mission", the Williams-scored episode on Anthology III, is easily as good as the best film scores he was composing in that era (80s). You'd never assume you were listening to a television score, its a film score

Well then I'll probably just get the standalone release of it that Varese put out awhile ago.

That's a re-recording; The original recordings conducted by Williams are definitely superior.

I'm also gullible, and just bought all three Amazing...Anthologies sight unseen, having never watched any of the series or listened to more than three minutes' worth of the clips. It's starting out to be another expensive weekend.

Yea I've never seen the show either. Keep meaning to netflix it, but its annoying Season 2 hasn't been released yet

I should've waited for Monday's release, whatever it is, since SAE still has all three (MM is missing one or two), but oh well.

I think I'm back to three soundtrack orders that haven't shipped yet:

- one from MM with Under Fire, SpaceCamp, and Tadlow's Lawrence of Arabia;

- one from SAE with the Ron Jones box and TBOBW standalone;

- and this one.

Yikes.

Amazing Stories "The Mission" is absolutely worth the money.

Listened to that the first time the other day.

It's freakin' Raiders 2.0!

So these are good? I bought them but haven't listened yet.

I think so. I'm enjoying them more as I become familiar with them.

As most have some kind of supernatural/horror/mystery tinge they make ideal listening for October.

These are the episodes that have stood out to me the most so far:

The Mission

Ghost Train

Alamo Jobe

Gather Ye Acorns

Exactly my favorites, too, but I would add Mummy Daddy to that list.

There is a high concentration of good material on Disc 1 of Volume 1, and Disc 2 of Volume 3. So... it starts good and ends on a phenomenal high note. The fact is, 6- 70 minute CDs is a huge volume of music to listen to. Mileage may indeed vary.
