You may purchase this CD through one of your favorite film score shops!

Also available from Numenorean Music – John Harrison’s DAY OF THE DEAD!

Coming in late September from Numenorean – Trevor Jones’ complete score to JIM HENSON’S THE DARK CRYSTAL.

BONE appetite!

This music does not cost that much per unit to warrant a $20 price tag, unless someone would like to prove me wrong.

Call me the cynic, but if you want to make a quick buck in this business, I guess all one has to do is call it a "limited edition," hand number it and slap a $20 price tag on it.

Frankly, as an afficionado of movie music, I am starting to feel like I'm getting ripped off. As a store owner, it's getting more and more expensive to stock things I am not so sure 10 people want... at least not for $20.

I would assume a higher price tag would mean breaking even sooner, but there are other ways to break even, especially if you'd not want to alienate the people who are supposed to be buying these things.

I got a question too.
I thought i remembered reading somewhere that the origianl score and the movie version of Dark Crystal were both very different. True?

Plus, i have to say, why not 20.00$? Even if it doesn't have a 8 page bookelt. He did write it and it is issued limited and he isn't famous at least not now, i think he has every right to try to make some money.
He choose to make his life a carer of music, but the industry just didn't agree.

There is a difference between making a buck and gouging the consumer. I would argue that CD prices are artificially high anyway.

at least Varese have the dignity to lower the price (and quantity) of Club titles they know won't sell as much; which actually encourages me to buy their products over some others.
The Bride and Marie Ward are bargains at $14.98, considering the high-quality of the music.

...yeah, also considering the shorter running time of the albums, that pricing makes more sense as well.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD runs more than twice as long as either of those albums....

And since when was the price of an album directly proportional to the quality of the music on the album??

Dan

and before anyone starts lecturing me from their industry insider's perspective, I know film scores are a totally different animal from classical music...

Well, the trouble is that a lot of those 70s and 80s horror movies is that the scores were, not to put too fine a point on it, rubbish. Only a very few were standouts: John Carpenter's Halloween, Manfredini's Friday The 13th series. Then, a lot of them are Canadian; I've no idea what the legal logistics would be for releasing them. And is there really much of a demand for twenty-year-old Paul J Zaza scores? I'd be surprised if there's enough to justify hand-numbering 5000 (hell, 500) copies.
