Very disapointed in this realease, I already have it.

Sorry you are, but think of other Conti fans - like me - who were despairing over how to get this without the box. I am thrilled this was released. Having recently seen the film, I was looking more and more fervently for the KK box that might be a wee bit cheaper than $100 - but then this came out. A great item for those who don't have the box.

Then you don't need to buy this CD, you've saved some money!!
Just be pleased for other people who didn't buy the box set and can now buy a copy of KK1.

So how long before we get just the Spartacus soundtrack minus the kitchen sink and a nice shiny book?

In my case, that'd be great, though I know it'd peeve off a bunch o folks. This is a great score, but it's not in my budget to buy it in the deluxe edition. I'm not a big enough fan, which is not meant to diminish what a great set it is. As for KARATE KID, I think it's definitely an interesting move on Varèse's part; they must have had requests for it, you think?

Yeah, I did miss the box set when it came out, so I'm glad to be picking this up.

Thanks Varese!

This is really about as stupid a statement as those nutjobs who say "Music labels don't want us to have [Name CD Here]!"

I'd put you on ignore, but pretending something ain't there never helped cancer either.

Wow! I'm just a bit surprised at some of the comments here, and from "big" Conti fans as well. This is really a nice surprise if you ask me. I don't care if they decide to release the next two films from the box set in consecutive Club announcements either. I say go for it. Keep this music and all soundtracks for that matter available to as many people as possible for as long as possible I say.

I tend to agree that it's sad seeing a lot of negativity in this thread about this release.

I for one don't mind it at all they did a separate release for this score. Especially those who only wanted just this score and didn't want to get the box set or missed on the box set.

If they keep "fooling" you, then you haven't been paying attention. How many of the FSM box titles have Kritzerland recently reissued? What about Poseidon Adventure, Batman the Movie, Predator, The Way West, Patton, Dragonslayer, Krull, etc? How many times has Re-Animator been re-issued?! If there's demand for a score and the elements exist to make it available, guess what, someone's going to find a way to make a buck on it! This shouldn't surprise anyone.
For timing and monetary concerns, I wasn't able to get the original release of the Karate Kid scores, so I'm happy things work this way. Now I get to enjoy the music as well! Grumble all you want at more film score fans being able to own the music; I'll just listen to the CD as a means of forgetting all the selfishness and "woe is me" on this thread.

Geez guys! Of course I'm happy for those who don't yet have the score. But at the same time I'm disappointed at not getting a never before to cd Conti score, I'm entitled. I wouldn't mind so much if it had additional music or remastered from the boxset but it's exactly the same. Other people here complain all the time and I don't care. Why can't I complain?

I'm so glad I procrastinated on the set.

Confirmed. You're not a biggest Conti fan. Real Conti fan would be happy for this.

I'd be happy getting a never before to cd Conti score instead of one I already have. But like I said I'm glad for other people who are discovering this great score.

Complain to your heart's content, Henry! But don't you think there would have been as much complaining, if not more, had Varese miraculously found a few snippets of additional score that were, for mysterious reasons, left off the previous release? (I don't think there are any.) Or if a three year old release was now supplanted with one that suddenly had better sound? (Sounds just fine, in my opinion.) The conspiracy theorists would be out in force!

Ordered together with Family Plot, 20th Century Fox: 75 Years Of Great Film Music and my favorite North And South: Book II.

Since I was unable to get the Box I am really happy with this release.

Cheers

I dunno. I purchased the box set because I loved the first film's score; I didn't recall the others at the time. Nevertheless, even though the first film's score has been released again, which is what I meant to get in the first place, I don't really mind for four main reasons:

1.) I bought the box set three years ago.

2.) I gave the sequel scores a good, open-minded listen and found them to be an engaging extension of the music from the first film, especially Part II. So I'm quite happy to have all four.

3.) I get to save some of the money I had earmarked for the Varese Club for another release.

4.) People out there who missed the first issue of the score or have only just discovered Conti can now enjoy one of his most iconic. That means more people to talk to about it.
