I just noticed that Perseverance has released the score to the 3rd enstallment to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. Music by Jim Manzie. I think it's great to see these limited releases from obscure film composers. I love horror scores, so I blindly placed an order.
I'm sure this means that Charles Bernstein's DEADLY FRIEND is not far behind.
Another 500 copy release? That's to low! If they can't do at least 1000 I say forget it. Anyway, I don't care for horror/slasher movies, so I'll be passing on this one.
No, really! Thumbs UP! To lambast an obscure release because its print run is too low is ridiculous. At least those who enjoy this stuff can finally have it.
I bet the 500 estimate is actually pretty accurate. It's the ebay gougers that will move it too quickly.
Do you mean that if it were 1000-limited you would have bought it??? Insane...
That would be insane -- but that isn't what I said. I wouldn't have bought it either way, simply because I don't like horror movies.
WHY after all the work put into production, creating artwork, etc and manufacture ONLY 500 copies?? How many copies have to be sold simply to recoup what was spent to put the CD out? I thought that number was MORE than a measly 500 copies.

We'll probably never know, but 500 copies at $18.50 makes a turnover of $9250. Maybe it's pretty cheap to produce a CD these days.
Perhaps! But there is something of a fanbase for this sort of material, and you can bet that once it's down to the last 100, it'll be like ringing the dinner bell.
LEATHERFACE: TCsM III is no film music masterpiece, but the TCsM series has a cult following. The 500 copies will no doubt quickly sell to fans of the film. It's a release that is clearly not geared towards the film music prig.
