Holko 9,526 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 This set is also one of Titus' best works - instead of spoiling it all on th efront cover like many other releases, it's all dark and suggestive with nothing more than the original poster's reworking and Devil's Tower on the outside, and Roy when you open it. It's only once you've listened to the main presentation on Disc 1, gone through the story and reached enlightenment with it that you flip the middle over and see the Mothership on Disc 2, and a bright white image with the aliens in the back tray.

Karol That seems to be the case, which is bizarre for such a high profile Williams expansion. Correct me if I’m wrong, but “out of print” means they decided to stop pressing more copies, and “sold out” means they sold through all copies they were licensed to print.

Jay 37,369 Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 I took LLL's notice to mean they were about to sell all 5,000 copies, not anything else. Dunno why so many are confused by it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,317 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 2.5 years seems about right for 5,000 copies of this score. It's a fantastic release and hardly some obscure movie from Spielberg's catalog. E.T. sold out even faster and that was released 2 months prior.

Arpy 4,145 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 The thing with these titles, expanded releases etc. is that the people who want them are going to jump on it right away. It's sad when they go out of print, but you have to imagine everyone who wanted it, got it in the two and half years it was in stock. The only people missing out are future generations who will have to pay the exorbitant ebay prices for a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantities are very limited on the following, ALL ARE LESS THAN 100 UNITS REMAINING and once they are gone, they will no longer be available... CLOSE ENCOUNTERS (2-CD SET), HOME ALONE 2 (2-CD SET), MAGIC, ROSEWOOD (2-CD SET), X-FILES VOL. 2 (4-CD SET), SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW, SUM OF ALL FEARS (2-CD SET), GIANT (2-CD SET), THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND, BAD GIRLS, 3:10 TO YUMA, ORDINARY PEOPLE/SAVE THE TIGER, SPEED, THE STEPFORD WIVES, FIRST LOVE, RESTLESS and SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY.

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 No reason why these couldn't re-appear as digital releases. And since they tend to be restored in an even higher resolution than CD's I wouldn't be against such development... As much as I love my album on the shelf I also realise they are downgrades from those files. Can you imagine a streaming/download version of our beloved labels where you could pay a monthly fee and get access to an entire library? I do realise it might not be legally possible right now but perhaps somewhere down the line? We can dream anyway. Karol MaxTheHouseelf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karol A subscription service for labels like LLL and Intrada is something I'd take up without a second thought! Here's hoping for the future Still love CD and will continue to collect them as long as I can but like you, it doesn't escape me that there's the potential for higher quality out there. Whether it actually makes a great deal of noticeable difference is, I think, still up for debate 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
