Author	Topic: scores you wanted back

Lee Oscar® Winner	Has this happened to anyone. You have a handfull of cd, listen to them countless times, get sick of them, sell them back for new cds and sometime down the line, you crave the music which you no longer have. Then you have to spend more money just to get the same cd back. This has happened to me many times but I never seem to learn. For example, a few cds that I've bought several times are: Hook, Dragonheart, Life is Beautiful and Starship Troopers. Does anyone do this or am I the only one?

dantoris Oscar® Winner	Well, a few months ago, I traded off The Phantom Menace, The Ghost and The Darkness, and Portrait of Terror (John Ottman's H20 score). I copied the few tracks from each CD that I liked onto a cassette tape, but now that I have a CDR, I wish I could have them back so I could put those tracks on a CD instead.

SBD Oscar® Winner	Over a year ago, I sold four CDs: DR. JEKYLL AND MS. HYDE, LEPRECHAUN, THE STUPIDS and UNLAWFUL ENTRY for extra cash. A while later, I bought back DR. JEKYLL... and THE STUPIDS. When I went to buy back LEPRECHAUN, it was gone (I later bought another copy from Intrada for $3.99). The best part is there were no questions asked (they probably didn't remember me). I'm still waiting to buy back UNLAWFUL ENTRY...tee hee .

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Dragonheart? Hook? SOLD??? (Wedge, are you still all right? ) I always keep my CDs. Even if I don't like them. I have two Once Upon a Time in the West, but I think I'll keep them both. It's just that I don't only like the music, I like the actual CDs. NP: Essential Goldsmith - Powder!

Matthew Oscar® Winner	I bought Alan Silvestri's score to ERASER,because I liked what I heard in the movie.When I listened to it on its own, I wasn't too impressed so I sold it.Then about a year later I was watching the movie and I remembered I had the cd,but then realized I sold it.I wanted the music again so I searched for a year looking for a used copy.Never found one,so about 6 months ago I finally broke down and bought a new copy.

Andre Lux unregistered	I felt very depressed last week after I finaly decided to sell my 78 minutes "almost" complete score of "Krull". I have the double album and knew the 78min album is still really expensive out there. So I changed it for 3 new CDs... But it still depressed me!

Al Oscar® Winner	Well, it isn't the same thing, but I lost my CDs of Sleeping With The Enemy, The Omen, Crimson Tide, and The Dig. Eventually, I bought Sleeping With The Enemy and The Omen again, but I have yet to get Crimson Tide. To tell you the truth, I really don't miss it. The Dig, on the other hand, is still one I wouldn't mind listening to now and then. Believe me though, after I first found out I had lost The Omen and Sleeping With The Enemy, there was a large bruise from where I had hit myself in the head repeatedly with a large brick. NP: Goldsmith's "The Omen"

sabbey Oscar® Winner	I doubt you are the only one to do so. I used to do this all the time when I first started to collect CDs. Since it was also my first time in music, I'd buy pretty much any CD I could get my hands on. Unfortunately I would sometimes get less than stellar music, and sell them to get another CD I would prefer more. Though I usually would like them. Anyway, about 2-3 years after I started collecting, I sold practically all the CDs I had at the time. Since I was into other expensive hobbies at the time. So I went from 150-200 CDs to about 30-50 CDs. At that time I started just collecting soundtracks and over time there were some I used to have that I originally disliked that I wanted to get again. I still have yet to get T2: Judgment Day. BTW, I rarely sell CDs anymore. I like all of the music to an point so I'll keep them just in case. Plus the fact I felt stupid for selling all of them before helps me from making that same mistake in the future. Either way, my taste has improved considerably. So I am in good shape.

Ellen B Edgerton Oscar® Winner	I think the only CDs I ever ditched, which I later wanted back, were THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and THE QUIET EARTH. And maybe MURDER IN THE FIRST.

Thor Oscar® Winner	I sold things like INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE and HEAT a few years ago, but I have since become a semi-Goldenthal completist, and rebought them (for a higher price, mind you). Recently, I rebought RED CORNER after trading it away about a year ago. Oh yeah, and I rebought MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (Elfman) not too long ago. I hated this at the time of release (I couldn't really accept the fact that this was the starting point of a new Elfman sound), but have since come to appreciate it more. If it was musically "over-challenging" in 1996, it is certainly not that anymore, in light of some of Elfman's recent scores.

Will Oscar® Winner	A few years back, I lost my copy of Terminator 2. Boy, was I depressed. And to add to the pain, I can't seem to find a copy. After 2 years of searching, I found a copy in Tower Records at the price of TWO CDs!! I did not buy it, hoping that the price will go down. True enough, it did.

JJH Oscar® Winner	I don't sell much back. I wouldn't buy it if I didn't want it in the first place. but the time is coming where I will have to sell off some of my CDs...thank God for CD burners. NP -- Take a Hard Ride

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	I don't want to even think of the great things I either turned down or bought and sold/traded/dumped. If I were to go into detail, you'd all be crying. As a reaction, I keep everything now which leads to a collection with things I've only played once in some cases but will not part with nonetheless. NP: Sunshine (Maurice Jarre)---Hey, if this film is 3 hours long how come the soundtrack is under 40 minutes?

Scott Oscar® Winner	Yep, I gave Drop Zone away because I just hated it. Now I want it back. Sike Scott NP: Howard Hanson [This message has been edited by Scott (edited 07 June 2000).]
