Jay 38,746 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 There was a package for me in the mailbox today from Amazon, and I opened it up to find a used copy of the 30th anniversary EMI edition of Fiddler on the Roof. But I didn't order it, or rather, I did recently order it, but I bought myself a new and sealed copy for $13 (on Jan 14) and it arrived 3 days later (on Jan 17) This is some completely separate order - it says Order ID 111-5203859-7129818 (not an order# from my own Amazon history), and buyer was "lady crefour". Ordered on Jan 23, 7:37PM, Amazon Marketplace seller is a "Dream Books Company" out of Denver, Colorado. And it has my name and address as the Ship To. Doesn't say how much it was sold for. So yea. If somebody here who knows my address didn't send this to me, I have no clue how it ended up getting delivered here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,776 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I can understand that not all the tracks on the album are everybody's cup of tea (and that applies to me as well), but it's such fitting music for JW to let loose his Williamisms in.

Jay 38,746 Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 I can't imagine how it wouldn't be better to own this version over the original OST album, which is OOP and you'd have to find a used copy for anyway (while this 30th edition is available new and sealed for $13) The difference between the two is that this adds 4 Williams score tracks that weren't on the OST in between the song tracks, and a demo song at the end. I don't know if the sound is the same or better than the OST, but I doubt it's any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,776 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The sound is rather unfocused on both releases. I imagine when we get a new release of this score, the sound quality will be much improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
