Mine arrived from Amazon today. Sadly, Disc 4 is a duplicate of Disc 2 as well. Otherwise, set is awesome. Sound and extras are a treat.

Hi there! First of all, an absolutely stellar release. The presentation and care that went into the book is outstanding. Alas, unfortunately my order came with the aforementioned duplicate disc. I ordered from Amazon and dwell in South Jersey if that helps. Thanks so much Mike. I enjoyed this tremendously and am looking forward to the rest of the set when it is available.

Thanks to all who are reporting here or emailing.

If you can, please look on the bottom (playing) side of Disc 4 for the little numbers. In the US so far we all seem to have:

303903
DFM03
LBR DF01

This is what is helping us pin down whether this was a pressing or a labeling error.

No one should send back the book. It will be far easier to have corrected discs made and sent when it all gets worked out. You can find the disc 4 content in hi-res on the Blu-ray in the meantime.

You can put me down as also getting the incorrect disc 4. I'm in the US and ordered from Amazon.

On a positive note, it's an absolutely gorgeous package, and the music has never sounded better. Having to wait for the replacement disc is frustrating, but it will be worth the additional wait time.

Hi Mike,

My disc 4 with disc 2 programming is 303903 and I received it from Amazon USA.

Thanks for all you do for us and best wishes smile

Received a shipping notice for my copy today (I ordered directly from Craft). I can only hope I get the correct discs.

Mine is wrong as well.

303909 - Shipped within the US from Amazon. No worries here. This set looks INCREDIBLE. Will enjoy the music via the BD while poring over this gorgeous book.

It's unfortunate that mistakes happen but they happen and can be easily corrected with a replacement disc.

Couldn't be more excited to dig into this. THANK YOU, MIKE for making this dream set a reality and definitely don't let a technical snafu at the manufacturer dampen anything. I've loved this film and its music since I was young and am so grateful this exists.

I received my 2-CD deluxe set and I've listened to the first disc so far and I'm loving it. The sound quality is fantastic; much clearer and more expansive than I've heard on any previous CDs (and I've owned them all). It's also great hearing those richly-orchestrated score tracks in context with the songs. Worth every penny, and kudos to everyone who helped make this a reality.

Incorrect Disc 4 for me too.

303903

Ordered in the U.S. from MoviesUnlimited.com.

Thanks, all. We're making progress. Check back here for details.

Thank you! Despite the issue with disc 4, I’m really enjoying the collection. The remastering job and the extras are well worth the investment. I thought the gold CD that came with the laserdisc set in the 1990s was awesome, but this brings the soundtrack to another level. I can’t wait to hear the corrected disc 4.

Incorrect Disc 4 for me too.

303903

Ordered in the U.S. from MoviesUnlimited.com.



Ordered from Amazon.fr and I have different number: 00888072466654

What a lovely Deluxe Edition! Just a delight of a release. Mike, can you make the definitive edition for West Side Story (1961) and Oliver! (1968)?

Incorrect Disc 4 for me too.

It has these markings:
303903
CR00445-4/CD4
DFM03
LBR DF01

I ordered from Amazon US.

Also, I'd like to mention that my Disc 4 is really scuffed up. The other 4 discs are pristine.

Would also love a definitive release of Hello, Dolly!

As reported a while back, there was a plan to follow up Doctor Dolittle with Hello, Dolly! for its 50th anniversary, but the elements had succumbed to extreme vinegar syndrome, same with Star!. Dolittle was starting to go as well when it was run, so it got in under the wire.

Check out the Twilight Time Blu-Ray for Oliver!, which would have used anything Sony has on it. Sadly, I don't think much exists on West Side Story, which would require and MGM/Sony Music collaboration.

(Does this cover all the titles with exclamation points?!)

There is of course one classic exclamation point musical you forgot.

My box ordered from Amazon arrived late last night with Disc 4 being a duplicate of Disc 2's contents. The information on the disc reads:

303903
CR00445-4/CD4
DFM03

However, I cannot emphasize enough what an extraordinary collection this is, clearly a labor of love by Mike Matessino. I still treasure my 1994 box set as the jewel of my extensive laserdisc collection, and this soundtrack will hopefully reside alongside it for another thirty years. Thanks once again to Mike and all the team involved in this treasured release.

So where to send notice to this? I possibly sent to the wrong email addressing the disc 4 error, and
Got a message today saying to contact my financial institution. Thanks!

I received the same response. They just added a specific email contact regarding The Sound of Music box set:

What a shame. I have the 2 disc Dr. Doolittle set, which is great. At least we have that. Thank you for all that you do.
