Anyone know a place where I can get this CD for a reasonable price? (Under 35 would be pristine).

The only places I've seen it available have been for quite astronomical prices...

Why must I be so far from that place ?

Just got this Email from Intrada:
"We have no plans for the moment to re-press this title. It's been in our catalog for over ten years but has pretty much dropped off the radar at this point."

I by 36 copie for my and me friends. They alll say its best score ever!

I can count 10 Intrada titles that are still in print that have dropped off the radar compared with Wind and the Lion. It was a regular seller. Bones is not, despite Dinko's 36 copie he buyt.

I like Jeron's theory. In addition to acquiring previous Intrada releases, Varese also has a history of putting out "Deluxe Editions" that are neatly timed with DVD release dates.

Damn, this is news to me. Last I heard, Wind and the Lion was being repressed, same as Rambo III.... I've been telling customers to hold on, as there have been plenty requests. Oh well.

Wow, too bad. But yes, rediscovered masters or something would be nice. The quality did leave a little to be desired. Nonetheless, people wanted it.

Licenses do expire. Truth be told, sales on those titles slowed to a crawl. Not much incentive to pursue re-issuing them.

Here's to hoping the license will expire so someone else can get this out, newly repackaged/remastered/rewhatevah. C'mon Varese, you masters of releasing soundtracks when the DVD hits the stores!! It will sell better than On the Beach, guaranteed (winketh winketh).

Well, let's be fair. That was four years ago. At that time we didn't know where the original elements were and the idea of just releasing the LP program again was not an exciting prospect. A lot changed in those four years. So I what I said in 2003 was valid...then. But things change.

Months ago a rumor started about a project we were supposedly working on, which I had to deny. It was true...we weren't working on it. Hadn't even thought of it. About four months later, I decided to work on it without high expectations and it came about. Does this mean my original comment when it wasn't even a glimmer in my eye was misleading? Things change...just extend us some flexibility.

Yes, let's be fair... you quoted only the first line of my message. The latter included a hint of the humor involved, so no, this was not a political post aimed at taking anyone out based on former realities. Quoting something four years old should be reason enough to believe this is humorist prose.

It makes me wonder what some of the mastering engineers of the LP age were thinking, given how they often they seemed to destroy perfectly fine recordings with too much reverb, too much compression, and/or bad EQ jobs. I do not like vinyl as a format, but it was capable of much better sound reproduction than the masters that a lot of these engineers were throwing at it. Thank goodness that sometimes higher generation elements still survive so we can get a better listen without the disastrous LP-era processing.

I would say sales will be good. Why? Because from my seat, sales never lost steam, See earlier posts made above. It was a great seller in the MM store until it was suddenly "out of print." If Intrada thought the sales had come to a halt, I guess the MM store was the only one selling it with any success. Now to hoping that continues. So far tonight, so good. Can't wait to hear it.<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE>

Some people can't take jokes really well on the internet Peter.

It would be nice to see Intrada in stores again, but unless it's a store like Intrada used to be in Frisco or Footlight was in NYC, there's no sense in it.

I don't want to rain on this parade of thought, but to me there is little opportunity to get such a thing into stores where the time and effort to do it would actually be worth anything. Would love to be proven wrong!

Yeah. I don't think it'd happen either buuuuuuuuuut:

Hey Doug or Roger...
since this release isn't a limtied edition, will it be available in stores? There's a store here that can get just about anything.

We're reviewing that option with the unlimited releases, but nothing definitive yet.

Excellent news! Not only is it re-issued, but complete and remastered to boot. Not being limited is icing on the cake .

A huge thanks to Intrada, FSM, and all involved. These labels have been on a tremendous roll, and it's been a pleasure to get to experience and have access to all this great music--be it a less represented composer [on disc], or a fan favorite like Goldsmith. Exciting times indeed!

The price? I think the price is alright for a two disc release and seems to be pretty much in line with their peers. I don't really need the second disc, but I'll take it. Overall it definitely feels like a better price point then the $23 Spellbound re-recording.
