MrJosh 892 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Received on Saturday. Listened once to Disc 1 in one sitting with good headphones, and listening again as I cruise in my car. So great to have this score, from such a great time period in Williams' output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's 20% or so of the actual value plus £8 handling fee. Is it ideal? Nope. But only happens with Varese. So, with everything included, I paid £48.59 which is something around $63... 😕 Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is Gand-Alf of course! But on a more philological note that is what the name Gandalf comprises of, Old Norse gand meaning wand/staff and alf meaning elf so this name of his means wand-elf or Elf-of-the-Wand. And of course the original name is taken from Völuspa list of dwarves where it appears in the Old Norse form Gandalfr. crocodile, Smeltington and publicist 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth 67 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Has anyone else gotten a disc with any glitches? "Meeting Van Helsing" on disc 1 of my copy has a skip and I wanted to see if it was an issue for anyone else. Great score, though, and a superb release. Unless La La Land has something truly spectacular in the Black Friday offerings this is the Williams release of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
