Author	Topic: Planet of the Apes Score to be released on June 12?

wistiti Oscar® Winner	The cdnow people have a new Goldsmith Planet of the Apes CD listed on their website: Planet of the Apes Didn't see it on the MM New Releases page. Anyone know anything about this one? Also note the price: $5. [Message edited by wistiti on 06-02-2001]

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	That's pretty funny. It's a typo - it's should be JULY 12. They don't even start recording the score until June 16th!! Dan

PeterK FishChip	It's all correct, wistiti. 6/12 release date, $4.97 srp. It's Goldsmith's score licensed by the Masters label. I don't have the CD in front of me, but this appears to be the Project 3 release making a comeback, unfortunately. Varese's edition is the ultimate, which is why I have no interest in carrying this latest one in the MM store.

PeterK FishChip	But heck, if anyone wants this one to be in the MM store, just say the word.

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Ack. I didn't get much sleep last night (busy partying, ya know?) so the "Goldsmith" fact kinda slipped me by. Whoops! Dan

But I'm still not 100% sure. I've never liked Goldsmith's score for PotA, so I've never bought the more expensive versions, even though they might have been better. But sometimes I like having classic scores, if only because they're classics. Which is why I got the Varese edition of North's Cleopatra and Stravinsky's The Rite of Springs (doubled with Petrouchka). If you can get this version of PotA by the time The Mists of Avalon comes out, I'll just add it to the Mists of Avalon (+ Evolution) order. If not, it's no big deal. I've lived so far without Planet of the Apes, I can perfectly do without it. No need to add it to the store, just because one person wants it.

Dan In this case, a "whoops!" might have been more productive than not doing a "whoops!" By missing a couple of words (relateing to Goldsmith) you gave me informatin I didn't know, but wanted to know (about the June 16th recording date). So Thanks!

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	You've got to be kidding me. Unfortunately people are going to go for the one that costs less and ignore the far superior Varese release.

Richard Street Oscar® Winner	I have that Project 3 release. It's not good. I should get the Varese issue, I know. NP: HALLOWEEN 5 (Alan Howarth)

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	Wistiti, if you buy the Project 3 reissue, you give us all the right to laugh at you. Get the Varese release, man! The Project 3 release didn't even have "The Hunt" (the most important cue in the score, and it wasn't on the original album!)! Take the advice of everybody on this board and just get the Varese version. Shaun

Take the advice of everybody on this board and just get the Varese version. Shaun Thing is, the Varese is three times more expensive. And if I had to pay that amount for a disc, then I wouldn't even consider buying Planet of the Apes, I'd prefer spending the cash on something else. The only thing making this Project 3 album more attractive is the price, regardless of quality or missing cues. Like I said, I never even liked this score in the first place, and I'm not even sure I'll buy it. But I'll think about it. Thanks for the suggestions.

JJH Oscar® Winner	Planet of the Apes is a classic score, and should be heard by everyone in the best possible format -- Varese Sarabande's CD. awesome.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	Planet of the Apes is not Planet of the Apes without "The Hunt." Save up three times the money and get a 16 minute suite of Escape from the Planet of the Apes, too. (It's got a killer '70s theme! )

Shaun Rutherford Oscar® Winner	Jonathan and JJ are correct. If you aren't going to buy the Varese disc, seriously man, don't bother buying the cheap disc. It's crap. Shaun

Al Oscar® Winner	Jonathan and JJ and Shaun are correct! "The Hunt" is... well... "The Hunt!" Pay the 16+ bucks for this cue... and then be happy that you get several other tracks as well, not to mention the nifty suite of "Escape from POTA" that good sir Little previously mentioned.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	"The Hunt" is the one track you will enjoy even if you don't like the rest of the score! NP: Ruggero Leoncavallo: Pagliacci (Pavarotti, Freni; National Philharmonic Orchestra, Giuseppe Patanè)
