We might be announcing three titles on Monday, one shipping later next week and two the following. For now, I talk about the one coming next week. It was one of two titles we hoped to come out the week of of anniversary celebration, but approvals are so unpredictable. It's one of Doug's favorite scores. Interesting story on this one. We had done a straight reissue of the LP program previously and it sold out quickly. I was a little unhappy with how much noise reduction was used taking away some of the crispness, so since it sold out so quickly I thought this was a good chance to address that. Couldn't do anything about the reverb it was drowning in, but at least it would be back in print with better clarify. When we searched for the elements this time around we came up with something we didn't know about the first time -- the original 1/2" multitracks of the music selected for the LP. This is before it was mixed and mastered with so much reverb. Better still...there were three additional tracks that were apparently intended for the LP that had been cut from the LP master. No idea where the rest of the masters for the score are, but now there is one important new score cue we added plus two additional source cues, all in crisp, significantly less reverby sound. Some tracks were also truncated a bit and are restored to their full length.
At first I thought of John Barry's The Last Valley (a huge favourite of mine), it was criticized for too much noise reduction, but then it wasn't a quick sell out. Trying to think of an LP release that sold out quite fast. I have In Harm's Way & it sounds OK, if a bit over-bright, I'm happy with it, but I'd buy a better sounding version as it's a big favourite.
Was In Harm's Way included in that long, long tribute video of theirs? The Last Valley was. Maybe In Harm's Way is really great, but it didn't nail any moments (though one could argue that the end of the film/score does).
I remember In Harm's Way selling out very quickly. Funny, that was the one that popped into my head too! I'm not sure if the Last Valley was a quick sell out. Can't tell if either of those would be on the favorites list though...

It's definitely not Last Valley - I still remember that on Sunday, February 2012, I ordered Johnny Williams' John Goldfarb, Please Come Home!, which was out of stock for some time and suddenly appeared again (along with Wrong Box & my FIRST ever Mancini score - The Thief Who Came to Dinner), and next Tuesday Intrada announced that LV would go OOP. Sadly my founds at that time couldn't give me a chance to order another CD, so from that time I still hope that someone will re-release it again
And for those who have stayed tuned we'll be announcing two more titles Monday evening that will ship sometime later the following week (I hope!). I know this is a little different than our usual routine but we adapt to the world around us. Clues...well, I'll use my other formula:
1 of 3 gets a refurbished new packaging job. What was once a 2-CD set geared towards collectors, this release features just disc one for the broader market. It was rebuilt from the ground up for this release, but it's the exact same program.
2 of 3 gets an entirely new facelift, featuring the complete score on 2-CDs, including alternates. It's about time!
All 3 films are playing in my town (and it looks like across the states for the most part), theatrically, one night only. Got my tix already, 6 hour McFly marathon will be fun!
