The whining and complaining will probably begin on November 21. The speculation however now.

So maybe we should just wait, maybe use that energy for arguing which is more powerful: Jeannie or Samantha?

Oh, and "Jeannie."

I'd like Trevor Rabin's Remember the Titans.

Ugh for the love of god....a re-recording? We have something similar to that, that John Debney did for the BTTF Trilogy CD and he got the tempo for all Parts I and II music completely wrong.

NO re-recordings please.

Edit: The only thing that sounded half decent on that CD was the BTTF "Ride" cue. The Part III stuff was just taken directly from the OST.

Bob Gale (Writer/Producer of all three films) has said that it's just too expensive due to the size of the orchestra used which equates to astronomical re-use fees. Plus, Universal owns the rights and they're sitting on a mountain of scores in the same position, so it just doesn't seem likely.

Plus, the song album has generated a very large chunk of change for them throughout the years, so there is no benefit for them to release a score only album where the songs aren't present. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a similar situation for Ghostbusters, whose song album just got a re-pressing.

It's a shame the re-recording turned out the way it did. They started to get the hang of it by the end of Part I, but the acoustics just didn't match the very direct sound all of the original recordings had. Plus, they neglected one of the best cues in the original score ("The Libyans!") and heavily re-interpreted the portion of the '85 Lone Pine Mall scene where Doc appears to be killed and Marty escapes.

I'm really not holding my breath for anything...but I'm sure they'll put some good stuff out as usual!

I don't have enough Bernstein in my collection, same goes for Jarre....

I have 1 other Conti, and I have NO Victor Young.

Obelisk, I agree with your comment on Elmer Bernstein's Western scores.

Anyway, I ordered all but the Victor Young one.

I am getting used to this stuff, but after seeing buysoundtrax list TOP SECRET on ebay with an opening bid of $30 (100% markup) already, there's where the first finger of blame can be pointed, if you may be looking for it. Who knows how many buysoundtrax bought? The only thing we're certain of is that they are not selling any for the typical $5 markup on their site like SAE and MM are. So much for their claim that they are committed to the collector, when in fact they are clearly infuriating them.

Perhaps this is enough evidence for labels like Varese and others releasing limited editions to suggest rules be set up for buying limited editions. For me, I always dreamed of selling soundtracks because I thought it would be a great way to enjoy this hobby. Now we have a few clowns destroying it for everyone. Of course, they can and will chime in with "hey, it's all about market forces," but whatever. Good excuses for exploiting those you need for survival is not exactly the best business model, not to mention the growing contempt throughout the collector's circle.
