Author	Topic: Cleopatra -- Already a collectors item?

Captain Howdy Oscar® Winner	Well, it looks like Trevor Jones's score to "Cleopatra" has already obtained the status of Collectors Item. For those of us who picked it up (including me), good job. I talked to my friend who works at the Wherehouse and he said that when they went to re-order another copy of the CD, the manufacturer said the CD was already out of print!!! Now I know that there were VERY few of these CD's printed, maybe one here and there, scattered around. The only places I knew of having a copy were Tower Records and Wherehouse. Theres a copy right now on eBay with 5 bids on it currently at $50.00. Yes, you heard me right....$50.00. Someone told me that it went last week on another auction site for $30 or so, so its quickly rising in value. Pick it up while you still can! I just saw a copy at one of the Wherehouses in my area yesterday. Just thought I'd inform you all of this. NP: Cliffhanger (Jones) ****/5

Jeron Oscar® Winner	That's kind of silly... why would it already be out of print? If this is true, is the score good? Trevor Jones hasn't failed me yet. Who's actually heard it? Jeron PS- Just by looking a around quite a bit, I've found several online music stores that have plenty of copies on hand. [This message has been edited by Jeron (edited 06-09-99).]

TimT Oscar® Winner	Well you see, it was a limited release from the very start. Jeron please share those stores you found, I can't find it anywhere and, Tower Records has it on back order. - NP Starship Troopers (B.Poledouris)

Gae Oscar® Winner	I only have 2 Trevor Jones soundtracks currently "The Dark Crystal" and "Cliffhanger" and I think they're both excellent. Could anyone recommend any other soundtracks by him please so I can buy some more of his music. Thanks. Gae NP Star Trek:The Motion Picture (25th Anniversary)***** (perfect music but should have had the complete score instead of those damn interviews on CD2)

TimT Oscar® Winner	Gae, his score to Merlin is a must have! As well as Last Of The Mohicans, and Dark City.

Jasom Oscar® Winner	I went to my local record store a couple of weeks ago to order Cleopatra but he said he couldn't find it anywhere. Today I went in to pick up another cd and he surprised me when he handed me the soundtrack to Cleopatra. I was very excited that he got a hold of it. Not only that, but the cd I went in to pick up, the expanded soundtrack to Rambo 2, he had gotten in a promo and he let me have it for free. So I got two soundtracks for the price of one. I really love that record store. 90% of the time he was able to find an out of print cd for me. Jasom-np: October Sky

Audacity Oscar® Winner	I can't believe people are having a hard time finding this score. All of the half-a-dozen music stores that I frequent all have at least one copy. The store I bought it from has four copies. Maybe scores are not as popular in Boulder, Colorado. Audacity N.P. Cleopatra

Jeron Oscar® Winner	Here's the review I submitted to Amazon.com: Trevor Jones does it again! Get this one while you can! It seems that with Trevor Jones, you just can't go wrong. Once again, he pulls through with another winner: Cleopatra. Pulling for thematic elements that can be found in both Merlin and Last of the Mohicans, Trevor Jones has composed a refreshing, new score that will captivate your ears and spark your imagination. The first track, "Cleopatra" introduces the theme immediately, while also giving you a preview of the score's overall attitude. A rich, almost relaxing rhythm is developed, complimenting the score while creating a nice foundation where Jones' trademark style will inevitably take form. Whether you are a Trevor Jones fan or simply a film score fan looking for some good music - don't miss Cleopatra. Only a limited number of copies are available (or so I hear).
