Author	Topic: Great Expectations score CD not out of print

PeterK FishChip	A customer sent me an email this morning regarding Patrick Doyle's excellent Great Expectations score, wanting to clear up some confusion about its status. Apparently buysoundtrax.com is claiming the CD is rare and out of print. It is not. Quite the opposite. Plenty of copies in the MM store, and at a price that leaves little excuses for anyone to pass up. A favorite score of mine. http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/greatexpectations-score It could be that buysoundtrax just wants to mark up a big time price like they do often (which they have a right to do) but to falsely claim that it is out of print in order to make the sale is irresponsible and unfair.

Scorro Standard Userer	That's good, it truly is an excellent score. It is the Doyle CD in my collection that has by far gotten the most playtime, and my wife likes it a lot too.

PeterK FishChip	At 10 bucks, there really is no reason to pass it up. I only fear that it will go out of print sometime down the line and end up like these other hard to finds from Atlantic: Fairytale, Twister, Last of the Dogmen. MCA had a bunch of catalog drop to $10 like Land Before Time, only to disappear within a few years. Now look at the prices that one is fetching. Considering all this, perhaps it's wise not only to buy one, but many!

PeterK FishChip	This got me thinking the other day (week, actually). The current $9.99 list of score-related soundtracks: The Age of Innocence (1993) American Beauty (score) (1999) An American Tail (1986) Anatomy of a Murder (1959) Antarctica (1983) Batman (score) (1989) Batman Returns (1992) Beetlejuice (1988) Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) The Buccaneer (1958) Catch Me If You Can (2002) Chariots of Fire (1981) Don Juan de Marco (1995) Edward Scissorhands (1990) Empire of the Sun (1987) Far and Away (1992) First Knight (1995) Forrest Gump (score) (1994) The Godfather Part II (1974) Great Expectations (score) (1998) Home Alone (1990) Hook (1991) The Hunt for Red October (1990) The Insider (1999) Interview with the Vampire (1994) Jaws (1975) King Kong (1933) Legends of the Fall (1994) The Lion in Winter (1968) Major Dundee (1965) Midnight Express (1978) The Natural (1984) Objective Burma (1945) Red River (1948) Sabrina (1995) Saving Private Ryan (1998) Scent of a Woman (1992) Searching for Bobby Fischer (1993) The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Star Trek V (1989) Superman (1978) We Were Soldiers (score) (2002) Music for a Darkened Theater Quite a few good things on the list, but I'm afraid everyone who posts and reads messages to a movie score forum would already have these... which only sparks my curiousity.... How many of you guys have ALL of the above?

MWRuger Standard Userer	I have most of them (35), at least of the ones that I would likely buy. I may have to investigate Bobby Fischer though. That is at the very end of the period where I like Horner. [Message edited by MWRuger on 09-08-2006]

Borgtex Non-Standard Userer	<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=1 face=arial>quote:</font><HR size=1>Originally posted by Thor: Ehm....alright, so you have these. Then what?<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE> So far, seems that they are not going to sell: Batman (score) (1989) Batman Returns (1992) First Knight (1995) Hook (1991) The Hunt for Red October (1990) Star Trek V (1989) Superman (1978) as everybody already has that soundtracks. Other than that, it's just for the fun of writing lists. [Message edited by Borgtex on 09-13-2006]
