Author	Topic: New Varese Club teaser for Feb.

Bond1965 Standard Userer	This just in off Varese's news section: GET READY! Date: 2/2/2004 Coming February 10 … a very special, mind-blowing, head-spinning, jaw-dropping, historic-beyond-words release from the Varèse Sarabande CD Club. We have a single offering … but it may be our greatest release ever. Interested? See you then! So let the guessing begin. James

Dylan Standard Userer	Good god, this must be something truly monumental. Perhaps a score that we have thought to be lost for years? I think we can expect great things.

Ron Pulliam Standard Userer	It seems that Feb. 10 is Jerry Goldsmith's birthday, and folks over at FSM are CERTAIN that it's going to be some mind-blowing jaw-dropping historical best-release-ever Goldsmith set. To which I say, "Huh"? What of Goldsmith's work could fit that description that HASN'T already been released? The ONLY soundtrack recording I can think of that could possibly live up to the hype of that teaser is SPARTACUS. Complete. Stereo. Of course, if we aren't talking a single score -- maybe it's going to be something so terrific that I can't even imagine it. I'm hoping the date of release isn't a clue.

justin boggan Standard Userer	Maybe they're just hyping Timeline.

Crono/Kyp Standard Userer	Nah, "Timeline: JG" is a regular release, DX edition...maybe...Back to the Future --Bri NP: ID4 [Message edited by Crono/Kyp on 02-03-2004]

MarkA Standard Userer	There's only one release that could warrant such exuberant proclamation -- the complete score to Nemesis...

La La Land Records Standard Userer	Goldsmith box set, most likely featuring some unreleased music from films like Breakheart Pass, Freud and the like. It's been in production for some time and considering the date they are announcing it (the day of his 75th Birthday) it just makes sense. I can't wait! MV Gerhard

IMO.....

Just release it and let the man's legacy speak for itself. MV Gerhard

Dinko Standard Userer	Bet they're laughing their butts off when reading message board speculation.

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	I'm hoping it's Spartacus but since it's Jerry Goldsmith's birthday and it's been reported that a label will be releasing a tribute for his 75th it makes sense that Varese will be the one.
posted 02-03-2004 12:00 PM PT (US)

Ed Standard Userer	Nah, it's a Giorgio Moroder tribute album featuring unused cues from "Top Gun" and covers of all his Oscar-nominated songs.
posted 02-03-2004 12:01 PM PT (US)

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	Now if it's a 5 or 6 disc set with his unreleased scores to Innerspace, Gremlins, The Boys From Brazil, The Great Train Robbery, Freud and a Deluxe Alien, well hell ya that's worth the hype!!!!

Widescreen Standard Userer	Amen! If this is truly what going to happen, I'm sure it will be worth the price.

Ron Pulliam Standard Userer	Throw in the complete score to "The Shadow" and I might go along with that idea!

Alexborn007 Standard Userer	Historic beyond words...doesn't sound like a box set to me. It's gotta be BTTF...it's got to be. Please let it be If it is a Jerry set...still very cool and 75 years isn't anything to sneeze at. [Message edited by Alexborn007 on 02-03-2004]

Kris Standard Userer	Historic ... mind blowing ... head spinning??? I dunno what kind of release would do that to me! How about a 10 disc set including, for example: Hocus Pocus (Debney) Squanto (McNeely) Timeline (Goldsmith) Haunted Mansion (Mancina) Agent Cody Banks (Powell) Godzilla (Arnold) Burbs (Goldsmith) Mathilda (D. Newman) White Fang (Poledouris/Zimmer) Rich Man's Wife (Newton Howard) Or how about a 75 disc collection honoring Goldsmith's birthday? I think we're in for a disappointement.

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	These are some other possible releases that would live up to the hype for me: A complete Indiana Jones Trilogy set A complete Star Trek Movie Set

Foobsie Standard Userer	Sceptical.... remember the Varese announcement about NEMESIS... It was RAVING! Nothing more than over the top use of words to describe a mediocre score by Mr. Goldsmith. And I am not bashing... I am a Goldsmith-fan.. But this is again nothing more than the use of marketing... Let's see... Sometimes movies are announced with "The best action picture of this year"... It's summer... The year isn't over yet... HOW DA **** can you say that!? MARKETING..... It's sick! FoobsZ

Richard Street Standard Userer	It's almost certainly something to do with Jerry Goldsmith; it's scheduled for his birthday (Tuesday, and Varese Club discs are always announced on a Monday). NP: RAMBO FIRST BLOOD PART II (Jerry Goldsmith; Silva issue)

jonathan_little Standard Userer	A release of Spartacus might be a birthday present for Jerry?
posted 02-04-2004 06:10 PM PT (US)

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	Yeah, the more I think about it, it has to be something either written by Goldsmith (not much there that fits the hype AND the term "historic"), or Spartacus...could it be??
posted 02-05-2004 05:40 AM PT (US)

Vinylscrubber Standard Userer	The only thing that might live up to that description would be if Varese, through their affiliation with MCA, was able to put out the "historic-beyond-words" early Goldsmith score for LONELY ARE THE BRAVE. After that might be the unearthing of the long lost complete THE SATAN BUG. (But I can't shake the feeling that what we're going to end up with is a multiple CD set that contains mostly previously released JG stuff with maybe a few scraps of unreleased material--but, surprise us, Mr. Townson!)
posted 02-05-2004 05:58 AM PT (US)

Camillu Standard Userer	Exagerrated marketing sucks, but it sure works. Case in point - us fanboys ranting over here I'm not much of a Goldsmith fan, and I'm not sure which scores or not are within Varese's reach, so I'll just sit tight and wait without making any suggestions.

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	On the 10th of Feb there are going to be some very happy people, some very disappointed people, some who could care less and some who are in the middle. It happens every time Varese releases their club CDs. Of course Varese has from time to time put a little humor into their press releases so maybe Mr. Townson is having a little fun at our expense since we tend to think Varese over hypes some of their releases. If it is a Goldsmith compilation I'm sure it will be well worth adding to my collection.

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	This is all funny. To make an announcement like that and then all the guessing. Why not just surprise us with the release instead of all this. There are a lot of good things it could be. No idea, nor will I guess. Since its Feb 5th now anyway. The club has been releasing many good things. I have several of them so far-Justine, Sand Pebbles, STuds Lonigan, Love is a Many Splendored Thing, Wonderful Country/King and Four Queens, Magic and so on. All are good too. Whatever is Im sure it will be aok. J.

justin boggan Standard Userer	No, no, no! You are all wrong! It's going to be: "CHiPs" - The Complete Series Music Works - Mike Post, John Carl Parker, Bruce Broughton, Alan Silvestri, ect. :-) I can dream too can't I?
posted 02-05-2004 08:23 AM PT (US)

Widescreen Standard Userer	You know... I know this is never going to happen, and it doesn't parlay into this release announcement- but as Varese has ties to MCA... why the hell can't we get a re-release of the soundtrack to Smokey and The Bandit!!! Seriously, I wouldn't mind if that were to hit CD at some point-- good childhood memories of that music and movie especially.
posted 02-05-2004 08:49 AM PT (US)

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	I have the LP to Smokey and the Bandit somewhere. It's probably the only Country music I'd bother listening to. It's one of my all time favorite movies, great stuff from Jackie Gleason. Too bad the LP didn't have all of the different variations of Sheriff Justice's theme.

Why not just surprise us with the release instead of all this. The guessing is more entertaining (and much funnier) than just waiting for the official announcement. My prediction: It has nothing to do with Goldsmith; the Feb 10 date is a coincidence that has Robert Townsend slapping his noggin in frustration as we speak...
