Partly, it's experience working in the film industry and seeing how the requests of important directors and actors are taken VERY seriously.

 

More importantly, it's my experience getting about half a dozen faulty Blu-Rays with video or audio problems corrected by contacting their directors and asking them to contact the studios, after every time fruitlessly contacting the studio home video divisions on my own.

 

Studios don't listen to individual consumers, or even small groups of them. There isn't even a mechanism to receive their questions/complaints/comments usually. They're just forwarded to dead-end phone numbers, or email accounts that aren't checked.

 

Studios listen to everything big name directors and actors say, to protect the relationship for possible future films.

 

One of the first Blu-Rays I got corrected was FRANTIC. I contacted multiple people at Warner Home Video over the course of months and politely notified them the audio was faulty. Nobody took me seriously, even though I was obsequiously polite and respectful throughout. I spent months getting the runaround.

 

Finally, I just looked up Roman Polanski's office number in Paris online, called, got his secretary, and explained the Blu-Ray fault to her. She was horrified by the mistake and asked me to immediately write an email that she would show to Mr. Polanski. The Blu-Ray was corrected within a month, and he sent me a signed copy of the Frantic script to thank me for letting him know about the audio fault.

 

All of that is to say that directors are the best route. They're not swamped with fans like stars, and they truly care about these things, in my experience. I've contacted a number of them like this. (Obviously, Mr. Williams would be even better in this case, but he doesn't have an online presence.)

 

So, yep, I firmly believe that if Mr Mangold can be informed of what happened, and if he is bothered by it (which I think he will be), then one call from him to Disney will get more CDs pressed within a week.

 

 

I read your adventure on some blu ray forums and that was top notch. I had your topic info when I got my FRANTIC blu ray and I be sure I got the real good version.

 

My appreciation on your quest, thank you!

Emporium gave it to him in 2023.  That CD is an important artifact.  It belongs in a JWFan members collection.

 

[Chris ChrusherComix 46]

Count me in the group of people who last month or so put in my cart ready to order, saw the shipping cost, then decided to wait and see if Amazon was going to sell it with free shipping in August. And then, if Amazon or anywhere else with cheaper shipping didn't, just go ahead and pay for the excessive shipping from Disney Music Emporium. Nowhere did I see "limited" anywhere, and stunned to see it gone. More stunned to find people all as stunned as I was.

Quite frankly, I'm appalled like I see many of you are as well. I don't post very often like I used to and tend to only log in when something big pops up, but those that know me know I'm a John Williams Soundtrack/Score CD completionist and 45+ years of collecting Williams soundtracks and a completionist on JW score CDs for over 30+ years comes to an end... because Disney --  especially in the last decade or so -- seems to be masters at biting the hands that feed them! Zero sense in what they did here.

These eBay sellers are doing absolutely nothing wrong, assuming they're selling the legit pressed CD.  They have a product that's in high demand and are attempting to sell it to the highest bidder.  Plain and simple.

Embark on a pulse-pounding journey with The CD Tracker as he unravels the hidden symphonies of a bygone era, rekindling the harmonious flames of a forgotten world.

It did, but the CD sold out rather quickly and was only available through disneymusicemporium.com. The vinyl is still available there. 
 

The fury is because they never said it was exclusive and never said it was limited. So people didn’t order, expecting it to turn up at other retailers.
