Richard Penna 3,690 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 I wouldn't count on that. I e-mailed them years ago just before I got Jurassic Park, whether the listing on their site was the OST (and not one of the millions of compilations), and I'm sure I got a reply along the lines of 'sorry, we're too busy to give you individual details about a CD'.

David Coscina 3 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Isn't Play.com a British retailer? Maybe they will be getting their shipment a little later... who knows. I ordered a copy though. Couldn't pass up this bargoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMacGyver 0 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 Well, we will see.

Trent B 337 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Why do some of you still think this is an April fools joke? There have been re-issues of soundtracks before. Just because April is almost here doesn't mean that this isn't real which I am sure it is real. Those who have missed out on getting the score before now can get it again.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Pete - who is still waiting for that one fantastic score that was supposed to be used for both Indy 4 and Episode III...That one went over my head at the time.

nightscape94 965 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'm glad they're releasing this again. It doesn't seem like the first Williams score you think of, but a lot of the newer fans that got into Williams from the new Star Wars or Potter films never had a chance to nab this one.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yeah this gives newer fans a chance as well for us little older ones to get this great score. This has been on the top of my list of favourite Williams scores from the first time I heard the Dance of the Witches. As it is rereleased I can say some wishes really come true. Now they only have complete Hook, Indy scores and Prequels to release (amoung other things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 It is at first a Collector's Choice exclusive but don't worry. After 3 months they begin to sell it in stores (I hope). I still wonder why do these other CD stores in the net list it to be released in April as well? But as long as I am getting it in the near future I am happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm surprised no one has asked this (although it probably mirrors Steef's comment) - why Eastwick for a reissue?

I can think of tons of other scores that could do with either an expansion or a reissue. I for one won't be buying it because of the complete score.it's been one of the rarest and most sought after Williams' scores in the last few years, and they probbably own the rights, so they just re-released the thing with minor production costs, I'd assume.

I can think of tons of other scores that could do with either an expansion or a reissue. I for one won't be buying it because of the complete score.Probably because it was cheap for them to reissue the original album and it was one of the early titles on CD that went out of print.It also may have been a decent selling album as well.I'll pull a Thaxton and suggest you might e-mail them and ask why.Frankly I don't mind because this gives those who missed getting this album a chance to grab it.

David Coscina 3 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I got mine yesterday and it sounds good but hasn't been re-mixed or whatever. It sounds like it was pressed off of the original master, which is fine. It's certainly better than the tape casette version I've had for years. And for $13, it's worth adding to my Williams CD collection although it's not my favorite. I do think The Accidental Tourist is a better score in many ways and I'm glad to have bought that one of CD before it became impossible to find.

Richard Penna 3,690 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 it does not.You asked if anyone would actually need this reissue - I'm asking why they are reissuing it - seems similar to me.I do think The Accidental Tourist is a better score in many ways and I'm glad to have bought that one of CD before it became impossible to find.Whaaa?
