I don't understand what this is.

http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Dark-Score-Steve-Jablonsky/dp/B004XKR6NC/ref=sr_1_13?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1438428543&sr=1-13


I thought it never went to CD.

Surely got to be someone selling a bootleg that'll just be a cd-r? I noticed the seller has only 3 former sales. All looks a bit dodgy.

No one here will have an answer for you. But for only $300, you can find out yourself and let us know!

If the only option to be able to have a score in physical form is to pay $300, and not even know wether it's a real official (pressed) CD, it must be better to go with the better/safer alternative; a digital/lossless copy. If that's available.

I won't link to the auction, but the same CD is available from two different European sellers on eBay.

From the one listing:
Steve Jablonksy's stupendous score to the final Transformers movie, Dark of the Moon. Unofficial spanish release gets the best treatment. This third final score proved a musical success, shadowing the previous 2 movies, this powerful & energetic score was right up there with the best. This specisl limited 2CD edition comprises the complete recording sessions with alternate & extended tracks. New & Sealed, beautifully packaged with colour inlays, liner notes and stills from the movie.

Not sure why this has gone OOP digitally. I gravitate towards physical media like most collectors, but I would've bought it on iTunes at the time had I known.

There was issues with Dark of the Moon after its theatrical release. Michael Bay immediately began working on another project and a bare-bones Blu-ray was released, followed by a more elaborate version a few months later. The score was going to have a similar fate since Bay couldn't sign off on it, but it never happened.

If anybody thinks they';re goign to find a clamored-for CD that wasn't released on CD but only as a download, magically online by hunting for it as opposed to it being "big news" with one or more threads here alone, you're crazy.

Why do people always fall for this? I see this at forums for TV shows that were never released on DVD, yet some guy comes in and say, "wow, I found this eBay auction!11!" or "This guy on some website nobody's ever heard of claims to have a DVD set of the complete series!".

Obviously that's not the same CD as the original poster was referring to...

Thanks for this post. The lawyers at Paramount will be happy to handle this

Obviously the CD the OP linked from Amazon is the exact same ones that are listed on eBay, a blatant bootleg.

Well, now I haven't bothered looking all over on that Amazon page, but as far as I can see, it looks like (from the cover anyway) it's the (same content as the) official release, NOT the same as the ones that's referred to on ebay.

When that's said, though, I'd say that is perhaps even worse, a pirate copy of an official release (which propably never was released on CD)
