This is faded out early on the Concorde. In the film, the last note lasts a bit longer but there’s 2 very quiet instrument taps that one of the musicians probably made on accident and that’s why they faded it out early on this release, but if you have the atmos rip of the film audio, you can hear it.

 

Thanks for the reminder; I just added this to the post!

 

Also, I'm starting to wonder about the longer ending for 3m1 - The Book from the old bootleg.  Does anyone here have it?  Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

This thread went delightfully off the rails since the last time I looked at it.  I agree with the guy who says “just don’t buy something if you can’t afford it.”  What the H, you guys?

 

Also this is a bad set for most/all of us, and a good set at a terrible price for some other people who haven’t kept up with releases.

This is not just an item we don't like.

This is a sign of how Disney deals with soundtracks and their release, and shows lacks of respect for customers, and also proves how incapable they are in taking the right decisions in this market. We have been waiting for proper IJ releases for many years, and the best Disney can do is to add a cardboard box and price the set at $30 per disk, while you can comfortably buy the very same content for much less. They even managed to keep some previously available music out of this box. All of this right after the disastrous release of the DoD CD.

These release goes in the wrong direction of what should be made, frustrates the hopes of the fans, and this is why it's getting such a reaction, especially when the market is now full of great releases and it's so clear how to proceed and who to get involved.

This.

 

Especially on the "who to get involved" part.  [I.E. Mike Matessino]

[mstrox 6,651]

Yeah, I understand the argument but think it’s wrong.  This is just a repackage of extant albums and it happens all the time in the music business.  It’s extremely expensive, but we all have them so who gives a shit?

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

It's similar to what was done with the RCA SW expansions over the years. Recycled, that is. Nothing new under the sun.

There is something in common, however they were already done disk sets, the prices were still reasonable, the distribution was absolutely flawless, Sony Classic still released an "ultimate edition" of episode I, and we knew they very likely wouldn't hold the rights for several years. Also we could hope that IJ would get a better treatment as the rights were on a different hand.

On top of that, it is now 20 years later and instead of any light at the end of the tunnel we are seeing things going backwards .

[Bounty95 558]

Well, apparently it took over 7 years to get Hook released. Let's assume Mike started working on SW or Indy in 2019 after TROS was released... There's still hope!

I dont want to be the bringer of bad news but without parenthesis the mathematic solution is:

 

2019 + 7 x 9 = 2026 x 9 = 18234

 

so we must wait a little longer.

Umm, I get that this is a joke (maybe) but your formula is incorrect and the original one is correct:

You get that right in my job by putting brackets in appropriate places, and not writing it so misinterpretably in the first place.

Thank you - guess I’m more used to Intrada on FB where things tend to be more … genteel! Been collecting soundtracks for 30 years, not encountered such hostility just for voicing a dissenting opinion.

 

A belated welcome to you, sir... and uh, I recommend you steer clear of the Film Score Monthly forum.

I just thought about posting the idea at DME to offer the empty cardboard box as well for two dollars, so fans can purchase it to merge their Concorde CDs or other Indy score albums with their already purchased Dial of Destiny CD. 

 

Not that the box is so great. But it would make the absurdity of the current offering at that price even more obvious.

That wouldn't work for those who have the Concord box.

I'm sure they'd agree to offer it, for $74.99.

Because the Concord box itself has different sizes than the 4 CDs as included in the Disney box.

Yes, the box would not fit into the box. It would be a replacement.

And I just checked it. You would have one or two milimeter additional space in the box. So what?

If I put in the DCC album of Raiders instead of the concord edition, it might even fit exactly.

 

But anyway, I would not even pay five dollars to ask them to send an empty cardboard box around the world.

There is a near point where this collecting hobby becomes silly and slightly embarrasing. This box stands for a lot of that.

 

[mstrox 6,651]

Why would you want to remove your discs from one box and put them in a different one?

[Richard Penna 3,694]

Just ignore this entire release. It's not aimed at us.

[Holko 9,528]

It's not aimed at anybody with brains.

I'll agree with that purely on cost grounds, yes. I still think there's an audience were it reasonably priced.

 

Anyone who paid hundreds of dollars for DoD alone is going to be pretty pissed right now as well.

[GerateWohl 4,370]

On facebook there are many people, who state, that they are going to get it, without any complaint or hesitation.

Obviously there is a market for this.

Yes, but I'm guessing it's not any of us here. If it creates a new group of fans and collectors of the music of  JW then this reissue won't be a total waste. 

 

[Richard Penna 3,694]

There are probably communities dedicated to obsessively discussing the latest Blu-ray release of various franchises, and if one of us were looking at some release or another, they'd react like we are to this box.

 

A former colleague told me he was going to buy a new Alien box purely because it came in a fancy box that looked like one of the aliens. Or if I saw a box set of some franchise I loved and it had some gimmick which excited me. There are always a group of people who don't yet have 'XYZ' and may not care much that it costs more than it should.

 

So I agree it's bad for our personal cause, and is overpriced, but some people will buy it, and it may create some new soundtrack fans.

Not sure why you keep defending this idea. Even the CD cases wouldn't match.

The price is the real issue.

Were it priced around $50 it would have been deemed as an opportunity to fans (while still being a missed opportunity for improved editions, but that's normal, sadly).

You poor bloke. I've seen nothing from you on FSM but ardent passion for film scores, but it's as though your posts act as some magnet that attract a certain type of personality that just wants to troll you. 

 

The joys of having an opinion! 

[Yavar Moradi 2,599]

Nice of you to say, sir. I do try to be a positive presence in general (occasionally I may call out a bit of outright bigotry or sexism, so I guess that makes me a target for the crowd crying “WOKE!”) and have similarly been mystified why I piss some people off there.

Has anybody forgotten about this upcoming gem?
Why is there no excitement for what is quite realistically "the first and most incomplete 'complete collection' in the history"?

[enderdrag64 624]

I think everybody forgot about it, and rightfully so
