Jeff 10 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I got Jurassic Park on cassette tape for Christmas - my first film score ever. For a brief period, I thought I had lost it, so I bought the CD. Then I found the tape, and realized I needed the CD anyway.I didn't read all the posts that thoroughly, but am I the only one who had a score on cassette?

Wojo 2,453 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Shortly after receiving the Star Wars Anthology '97 from "Santa," I copied them to cassette because I did not own a portable CD player at the time, did not drive at the time (and no car had a CD player in our house at the time anyways), and so that I could distribute the extra tracks from disc 4 to where they go in score order. I actually still have those cassettes, or maybe all but one. However many tapes it took, I tacked the DCC Raiders onto the end.But no, I never bought a John Williams score on cassette.I have bought the Indy and the KOTCS album twice, but I traded the first one in to a used CD shop. There is no reason to have two of the same item on the shelf if one cannot be unopened in mint condition.However, I will not trade in my DCC Raiders even though I own the disc in the Concord box, because the DCC version is superior. Likewise, I am holding onto my OST of TLC because it holds greater nostalgic value; it is not the exact same album as the Concord anyways.I think the only CD that I ever had to buy twice was The Blues Brothers 2000 soundtrack. I had bought it in high school, didn't care for it, and traded it towards a Uriah Heep compilation. Recently, I re-bought TBB2K because I realized that no matter how inferior the movie was, the music was still pretty cool.You can't have too many coasters, my friend! I don't even used rejected CD-R's as coasters because the hole in the middle still allows moisture through and onto whatever wooden surface you're trying to protect.

Thor 7,565 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I got Jurassic Park on cassette tape for Christmas - my first film score ever.

Then I found the tape, and realized I needed the CD anyway.I didn't read all the posts that thoroughly, but am I the only one who had a score on cassette?Ah, true, I forgot about that. I had JURASSIC PARK on cassette too before I later bought it on CD, but the cassette was a free copy of another person's CD (so sue me!), so I guess that doesn't really qualify as re-purchase.

nightscape94 965 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I've never had to buy the same OST twice, the only time I had a duplicate is if they repackaged the score like with the Indiana Jones box, or if it was altered or expanded later on. Thankfully all of my original purchases have held up, never needed to replace something. Of course I have now jinxed myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,489 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 KOTCSAOTC to get the bonus track.

indy4 155 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The only OST that I have two exact copies of is KotCS - one that I bought on the soundtrack release, one that I bought with the Concord box set.

(OST and 2002 Expansion)Phantom Menace (OST and UE)Attack of the Clones (OST and Target Bonus version)Raiders (DCC Expansion and Concord Expansion)Temple of Doom (Japanese OST and Concord Expansion)Last Crusade (OST and Concord Expansion)I also have the OST and expansion of The Fury, but those came in the same release.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,489 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Oh yeah, I bought a new copy of Jurassic Park because of that.I have also attempted to replace The Lost World God awful cardboard packaging with the jewel case Collector's version from the JP/TLW DVD set. A couple years ago I almost bought that set just for TLW CD when it was cheap on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your postal service must be really messed from time to time.Well it took one record store here 6 months to order me 1941 and Rosewood (OSTs). I was both times pretty amazed when they called and said they had a CD I had ordered. I had completely forgotten that I had ordered them by then.

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 KOTCS is the only one I've rebought, like everyone else as part of the box. I was given the RCA Empire SE set by someone, so I have two of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,359 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Good question and one I didn't hear before. I bought Attack Of The Clones twice because it was cheap and it had a different cover (Oh, the ol' completist days!). Of course, I bought Star Wars on CD (every available release) after owning the 2-LP vinyl but that doesn't count, right? Then there's Nixon. The European version didn't play too well on my CD players (due to some kind of computer software on the CD) so I got the American version too which plays flawlessly. I bought several vinyl editions of CDs I already owned like Superman The Movie, Jaws 2, Raiders Of The Lost Ark, The Temple Of Doom, Spacecamp (!), Return Of The Jedi, Empire Of The Sun, The Towering Inferno ... all in like new condition.Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avalanche 0 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 At one point, probably 10 or so years ago, I sold off a large chunk of my music collection, including soundtracks. So when I realized the folly of that move about four years ago, I reacquired everything - so yes, Jurassic Park, The Last Crusade, Star Wars Anthology, E.T., on and on.

Naïve Old Fart 9,630 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 The one I have bought most is "Star Wars".Here goes:The original 2xLP vinyl,The first CD pressing (Ploydor),The Anthology box,The 1997 re-issue (laser-etched, and in slip-case),The 2004 box (Eps. IV-VI only),The 2007 (?) Corellian Edition. That's an awful lot of money to spend on one soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,033 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I think I've got two Minority Reports (can't remember why) three The Phantom Menaces (one has been broken, another one I won), two Attack of the Clones (one with 14 tracks), two Revenge of the Siths (my first one got scratched badly) and two The Terminals (got one as a present, but at the same time my order shipped and I thin I've never unwrapped that one). And of course two Crystal Skulls, as most people. And some other scores that I bought in different formats later on (like Jurassic Park, for example).Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
