Incanus 5,714 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Thank you for writing the liner note in full here. That was a terrific small analysis of the score by Mr. Spielberg. He certainly was inspired and I can't blame him. Williams' music truly captures all that he describes above. P.S. Perhaps spoiler tags would be in order so people who do not want to read this before getting their CD can avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hmmm, maybe there ARE no liner notes... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 JW's "Liner notes" usually come when the signature edition orchestral score is released. Really hope there's one of those for Tintin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 They are all opened because disc got replaced with a non-picking pocket's version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And i think the reason is that they forgot to put the name of the cue in the tracklist on the booklet and back cover!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom 4,654 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 crazy anonymous guy here. I had ordered the soundtrack as an import (to usa) from Amazon and was to receive it eariler in the week. I received an email yesterday saying I would not receive it until dec. 13th, the us release date. My hunch is that Sony is not allowing such imports for the time being.As for the Thirst for Adventure, it sure as hell sounds like a concert arrangement title. We can only hope I guess.

Incanus 5,714 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 A Thirst for Adventure was just a different name for the Adventure Continues which was on the early CD tracklist. It got changed later but Sony sent the early track list to many internet retailers by mistake.Or there could be something there. For BloodBoal's sake I leave the question open for now.

Foxfan 128 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Did you order it on the UK or US website? I ordered it straight from the UK website and it shipped last Saturday.

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 About 18 €. I know, I know it is a bit more than what you would have paid for it on e.g. Amazon UK but only a bit.

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Not shrikwrapped CDs in physical stores?!?!?!!That is strange, i have not seen that ever.I have seen that a lot here. Depends on the storage system I guess. Some of the stores have their CDs on separate storage boxes and the CD case on the shelf and especially if there are only few copies they use the CD case on the shelf and place the CD there when a customer wants to buy one of the few copies they have. And sometimes they do have the shrink wrapped CDs in storage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I would think that's dependent on the record label.Clearly, Tintin is not shrink wrapped regardless of whether you buy it in the UK, Netherlands, Spain, or wherever.Those who have ordered it from amazon.uk so far have reported that their copies weren't shrink wrapped, either. And I hate it when the CD case arrives already scratched... i suppose they have some kind of case with electronic chip to prevent people from stealing right?No, they figure, hey it's a film score!
