From Perseverance's website.
"Kickboxer Back in Stock! - It's been almost four years since the original release of this classic Eighties album by Paul Hertzog, so we feel we are not running the risk of pissing anyone off if we release the second 500 batch of this album. It is identical to the 2006 release. Sorry, no signed copies are available for this title. "
Cool news! This is a fine 80's electronic score, with a suprisingly catchy theme. Reminds me a little of Big Trouble In Little China. Really gets epic in the last battle. I don't mind the repress, as 500 was always woefully inadequate for this popular score.

Great for those who missed out, less great for those who bought it fast when it first came out because they were told this pressing was only limited to 500 pieces.
It is still a Great release though!
Yeah, but even if they had pressed 1000 at the start, I bet you it would have gone quickly.

Great for those who missed out the first time. Myself have been enjoying it for 4 years now (has it been that long)

If anyone bought because it was 500 but wouldn't have at 1000, they are an absolute idiot.
There's a well known financing method, called "The Kickboxer Soundtrack Method", that virtually covers the entire cost of your kid's college tuition. Doesn't Perseverance know they are hurting the children by devaluing copies of KICKBOXER from the previous pressing? Poor Junior will be kicked out of Harvard...

I don't recall, but was there a notation on the back cover of the original release that said, "This might be a limited edition of 500 units? This isn't the first time they've printed more. I stopped trusting them regarding copy numbers a long time ago.
I think they don't know what the term "limited edition" means. As far as I know it doesn't mean... "This is how many copies we've decided to print initially... we may or may not print up some more depending on whether or not we underestimated the demand for this title. Or maybe we'll print up some more a few years down the line. Whatever. Just keep it in mind that when we say that our CDs are limited, it's a marketing tactic intended to cause people to act fast or miss out that we are playing fast and loose with".
I'm talking as someone who originally purchased ONE copy of this CD 4 years ago, and currently owns zero copies (I sold my one copy without opening it when I saw what they were going for on eBay).
Robin did ask a few months after the release a few years ago for advice on the FSM forums regarding releasing another batch of Kickboxer due to the demand for the title. As I remember he got shot down at the time (and IMO can fully understand why, at the time) however he did state that due to licensing they may release the title again in the near future, possibly expanded/with songs etc.
Even though the title has not been expanded I would say 4 years or so is not a violation of the label's limited edition stance. Limited edtion does not mean that it will never be released again...

Great news. I will not rush over to their site and buy it though, as I haven't really heard it. I already have a couple of other Hertzog CDs, like Freeing The Waters and Bloodsport.
