The only real downside is they don’t do a whole lot of film music…! I had actually wondered whether dispatching something in 4 minutes was a bit unlikely but I just got a Royal Mail tracking email so it really was out the door today. Service to match our favourite speciality labels I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend them as well, even shipping to the US as I have them do. On digital downloads, I often find Quboz (if you have the Sublime level of membership) has lower prices, but not always. And they do seem to get the first shipments of physical product from the music companies whereas Amazon, Wal-mart and Target all seem to be later on these. They can be a tad slow to respond to emails at Presto (they are a small team), but I find if I need something, they will respond with a second email.

Popular Post Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted February 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2022 Just receive my copy today from MBR. A jewel case, yellow block like @Jay but with a slightly different back cover (European version) Listening to it right now. What a blast! I have only two minors complaint about this edition: the absence of the JP monologue and why did they put Superman March at the end of disc 1 and not disc 2 like in the concert. Anyway it's great to hear it back. rough cut, bollemanneke and BB-8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I actually thought that I had ordered The Deluxe CD as MBR uses a picture from it instead of the regular CD: https://www.musicbox-records.com/fr/cd-musiques-de-films/11281-john-williams-the-berlin-concert.html I should have double check the references...

So, unlike with the Live in Vienna version, only the video version interleaves the JW introductions with the music. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 963 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I attended the concert and I just listened to the recording. That recording is… interesting. It's nothing like the live performance (at least that's my feeling). The mix is really weird with a front facing piano or harp that you can awkwardly hear well. All and All I really like the recording though. Because it makes it different and I can spot new parts of pieces I thought I knew by heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
