Kosh Wizard	Quite possibly Joel McNeely's STAR WARS: SHADOWS OF THE EMPIRE, with some great liner notes. Then I think it was STARSHIP TROOPERS. Kosh

John C Winfrey Wizard	I bought several Varese Lps in early 80s from Intrada, then Cinemonde. I got my first Varese CD at Pennylane on Mass Str here in town in 1988. It was Lionheart Vol II-Goldsmith for 6.50 sealed. J.

MillsSomerset Wizard	CD? Something like...NEEDFUL THINGS, maybe. I was like a freshman in college/senior in high school before I even really got into CD's. Yes, my friends, i still remember tapes. And I think my first Varese TAPE might've been FLY II and/or LEVIATHAN (bought them the same day on a class field trip to Boston). NP: SWIMFAN promo.

Timmer Wizard	Out of interest, what were the FIRST Varese 'LP's' to be released? The first Varese CD I bought was Horner's BRAINSTORM back in 1988, it came in one of those oblong packages. NP : Species - Chris Young

Richard Street Wizard	First Varese LP I bought was SUPERGIRL. My sister bought THE BEASTMASTER earlier but she gave it to me a few years back. First Varese cassette I bought was either GREMLINS 2 or TOTAL RECALL. First Varese CD I bought was ROBOCOP 2. I now have 322 Varese CDs (not counting EXIT TO EDEN and BLACK CAULDRON which I ordered yesterday). I would guess that the earliest Varese soundtrack LPs would be back in the days of STV-81* serial numbers. The lowest number I can trace is MAN OF A THOUSAND FACES (STV-81121), but I have a vague idea they issued Goblin's score to ZOMBIE/DAWN OF THE DEAD on an STV-810 number. How the hell do I know all this stuff?!? NP: TWISTER (Mark Mancina) (still wondering what VSD-5342 was) [Message edited by Richard Street on 10-15-2002]

Bradley Wizard	Hmm, I think it was Robocop. I remember because I had to special order it. No record store I went to had it because it had been out of print for a while. Bradley

Mark Olivarez Wizard	I think my first Varese CD was the Star Wars trilogy perfromed by the Utah Symphony. It had a couple of unreleased cues from ROTJ on it.

shureman Muggle	My first Varese soundtracks were SAMSON & DELILAH (Victor Young); GOLIATH AND THE BARBARIANS (Les Baxter) and BRASS TARGET (Laurence Rosenthal)-- all vinyl, natch !

JeffBond Wizard	I think both my first Varese LP AND CD was The Blue Max. In fact, The Blue Max was my first CD purchase, period, and I bought it because it had additional music on it--and this forced me to purchase a CD PLAYER. Let the custodians of our nation's economy learn from this what they will.

pietari Wizard	It would have to be either Total Recall or The Fly II although I did have them on LP first. But LPs deteriorate especially when receiving the kind of play-time as these two modern classics did and still do. NP Red Dragon - Danny Elfman **/***
