Charlie Brigden 7 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I agree, they do. But I don't think it's a pre-requisite, and it's certainly not something we should expect from a label who - for better or for worse - actively ignores the online community. We know Varese doesn't do this kind of thing, we've known for a decade or so, but we still bitch as if it's something we can actively change. I don't agree that re-releases should immediately equal more music. I think we've been conditioned by the multitude of expansions (which is certainly something Varese have previously contributed to) but there's no rule, written or unwritten, that says any new release should be expanded.I certainly understand people's frustrations, but the bottom line is either buy it or don't. Don't spend pages and pages (as that FSM thread has) grinding about something that everyone has already known for years just for the sake of it.

Trent B 337 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm with Rich. I do wish that Varèse would say if the master recording sessions were lost or whatever like Intrada, LLL, and FSM do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 386 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 To those of who you who bought the recent Chinatown reissue by Varese Sarabande, is the sound quality better than or about the same as the 1995 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I can't say I've personally heard either version, but the comments I read on FSM varied between "slight improvement in sound" to "greatly improved sound", so I guess you probably have to judge for yourself. There are samples here:http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/the-1041/Chinatown/Detail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I can't find this on Varese's site any more - did it go out of print? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Wasn't that a CD Club limited release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yes, but I never saw any word about it selling out / going out of print, so I have no idea if they sold all 3,000 copies, or just gave up and stop selling it after they sold 1,000, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Or buy the identical older release used in a local CD store for 10€ like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Boggles the mind why did they do a limited run of this classic considering they added no new music to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It works brilliantly in the movie but i'm not sure anyone needs more of this kind of arid thriller score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 It works brilliantly in the movie but i'm not sure anyone needs more of this kind of arid thriller score. The album is just fine but how it disappeared from print is the more baffling question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Those were the happy times. Getting an old out-of-print album up on eBay, getting 70, 80€ for it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
