Please take a look at the press release on our website ;-)
"Music Box Records explores this time the television scope of Georges Delerue's music and presents complete scores in stereo from original stereo session masters stored in Warner Chappell vaults."

This present edition is the first volume of coming CD releases dedicated to the television soundtracks composed by Georges Delerue.
I know a certain Delerue fan who's gonna have himself a heart attack when he reads this.

This one sounds quite interesting. I've never heard either of these scores, but I'll take a chance on this CD. Although there are indeed enough French TV movies and mini-series to fill future volumes, I still hope one day that some of the U.S. productions like AMOS and QUEENIE will see the light of day too.

Wow, this is unexpected, but judging by the sound samples, the whole disc is in stereo yes?
Been looking for something to buy so I can finally get Man Woman and Child and this may be the one (two Delerues at once? Never a bad thing...)
Edit: Oh derp, it even SAYS that doesn't it....
I see you want to buy the soundtrack for "Man, Woman and Child." I just watched that movie yesterday via Netflix mainly to see what I thought of the soundtrack, and wrote the following Netflix review:
"The only reason I put this movie on my queue was because I am a fan of composer Georges Delerue, who wrote the music for it, and the complete soundtrack was recently released on CD and I wanted to see if I should buy it. But what an ordeal it was to sit through this, and I mainly blame the director for the flat way too much of it is handled. As for the music, we can barely even hear it, and then there's a vocal arrangement of the theme sung at the end in an (appropriately!) inept fashion that made me glad I didn't buy the music. I would have given this movie the 1 star minimum were it not for the mostly well-written character portrayed by Sheen, and I like the way the father looks at education. But those are meager crumbs indeed for a grim movie I never care to watch again."
I notice that the CD has the song heard at the end during the final credits, but which I found simply agonizing -- it has lyrics (by David Pomerantz and Buddy Kaye) like: "Love was just a MOMENT, holding tight TOGETHER, just a fleeting MOMENT, changing us FOREVER" -- simply agonizing treacle (with words at the end of lines emphasized like that) that should have been left on the cutting room floor. Frankly, if the music for a movie is good, I'd prefer to hear that instead of a song tacked on at the end. But, despite everything, I'm still curious about that soundtrack CD.

How many volumes are planned?
It depends on how this first volume will sell...

Great. So if you hated it so much you don't have to buy it and then someone else who loves the score and Delerue will have a chance to own it.
