crumbs 14,316 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 The biggest problem is that across all, what, 5 releases, the best sounding versions of all cues are spread across every release. It's a total mess. So you basically need to use every release to assemble the best sounding chronology of each score. Holko 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,016 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Mine just got delivered. Literally not a second too soon. I was waiting for it all morning and was about to leave the house and not come back until late afternoon/evening. So would have missed it. I kept delaying for as long as I could because otherwise I wouldn't be able to collect it before going away for Christmas break tomorrow morning. The very second I opened the door postman walked up and handed me the box. That was lucky! 😆 Karol Amer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I've learned to read those. "Processed Through Facility" seems to refer to whatever facility it passes through on the way to the actual customs office (or customs storage). "Customs Clearance" means that it arrived there. And "Held in Customs" can last from a few days to 4 weeks plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, record company did everything correctly, it's just that the post office where I stayed kept the package for 4 weeks (it was held about two weeks in customs before that), then neglected to leave a note telling me that it had arrived. On top of that, I had the pay almost 20 Euros customs fee (or whatever you call it). Whatever. That's just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post The Five Tones 302 Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 Arrived on Dec 23 but sat in my neighbourhood postal depot for for days due to holiday plans. Hoping to get into it while I wait to see TROS. Not sure about that replacement inlay; they might've considered a cardboard envelope for it. I don't need the corrected catalogue number so much as to risk breakage of the case and a bad fit. All good though. Another fantastic release MM and LLL! The past 12 months have been one for the books and then some. Josh500, Bellosh and Ricard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stravinsky 206 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Poseidon sounds great. The best it can possibly sound considering Mattesino was working with the original tapes. I believe he also had other sources to work with incl material from the Irwin Allen Estate and he has worked wonders. I've always loved the score for Poseidon cos it's so dark. A friend said he hardly played the old FSM disc because it did sound tinny. Well its not tinny now. Even the two partial Mono tracks sound fine. You'll hear the sonic improvement in my favourite moment from the score which is a phobic section from 1:53 - 2:38 in track 15 "Hold your Breath" with beautiful low Harps Bassoons and Bass Clarinets. Inferno sounds equally magic. One of my favourite tracks of the whole score (which was relegated with a few other damaged tracks to the end of the old FSM disc) "Departmental Pride and the Cat' is now pristine. Strangely I'm kind of disappointed with the thrilling Main Title on Disc 1 which I think must be my favourite opening track of any Williams score. It sounds good but not that much better than the old release. I guess the recording set up. In the 20th Century Fox studios (?) was a bit dry. Still there's an alternate Main Title on Disc 2 which I haven't heard yet so am hoping the sonics are as good with that as the stellar sound of the rest of the main score. Also kind of wish Lalaland had moved the early lounge tracks to the source music section of Disc 2. Lastly the first "Mono" source cue I've heard (and one of the handful of lost cues making their debut here) doesn't sound Mono at all. Sounds totally brilliant. There's a previously unreleased "Mono" track #20 "Out of the Shaft" on the main score on Disc 1. Its wonderful and just the kind of thing I was hoping for with this new release. Just that thrilling mid 70s sense of wonder when you are a kid going to the pictures to see a Hollywood movie. The mystique of the American dream. How do they do it Martin? Or rather how did they do it? Cos its gone now. Finished. rough cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's now listed as having arrived at the post office, so it seems it will be delivered in the next day or so. Since you're overseas, I'd say it's probably still on its way.

Jay 37,364 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 The reason isn't the color, it's the other two reasons you mentioned. They sent a version with the the wrong catalog number and UPC to the printers, which got put in the shrinkwrapped copies, so then they printed out a fixed one. Simple as that.
