Rambo III didn't sell out quickly (I know because it took me some years to finally buy it). And in fact doesn't show up on Intrada as sold out, only temporarily out of stock. (Though I know Doug has been talking about a re-release on their message board, so who knows.)

I do believe the nut has been cracked.

Of course it's Poltergeist II and it most certainly is NOT from different sources. It's from the analogue tapes we used (the question is is it OUR version and if so are we credited, meaning James Nelson and myself), and from the digital source that Intrada has already used before.
And why one poster says, "complete" - the score itself was absolutely complete on our version. Here we're apparently getting more extras - I'll be interested to hear what those are, of course.
I knew this would be coming back from someone, and am not surprised it's Intrada. As to the whole back-and-forth (between me and Doug, not Roger), Doug finally admitted that the analogue sounded better, just as he does in this press release.

Can't help but feel that the market is getting a bit saturated on this score and that while a reissue is warranted due to the fast sell out of the best/complete edition, it probably could have waited another year (or three) while Intrada concentrated on tackling definitive editions of certain Goldsmith scores that other labels were less likely to tackle (ie. Universal stuff: MacArthur, The Lonely Guy, The Don Is Dead?).
Still I hope this is very successful for them. Though I'm quite happy with the great-sounding Kritzerland edition (thanks again for that, Bruce), I would be very tempted to double dip on this if they got Jeff Bond or another fine writer to tackle extensive liner notes. Improved artwork is also a plus, since I think the covers for this score have always been pretty disappointing, but it wouldn't be enough on its own to get me to re-buy.
I confess I'm also very curious to know what the previously unreleased extras are. If there somehow *were* demos for Poltergeist III that would seal the deal right there! But it seems unlikely. Still I'm stumped what it could be that Bruce wouldn't have known about and included on his second disc.

Schiffy, I just wanna know what you've been grumpy about. I can guess, or maybe look through old threads, but I'm not gonna.
(I know, it's Poltergeist II, there's so much to be grumpy about, but still....)
