Folks,
If it turns out there is unfulfilled demand for this title and somebody else (e.g. La La Land) decides to fill that demand, you can be assured I'd buy a second copy from that new label to show support.
Just sayin'.
Cheers

One can not help but be impressed by the "pots & pans" percussion from "Nightwall".
Sounds like Keith Moon accidentally wandered into the studio and started bangin' away!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, as others are saying around here, you could wait for a label like Kritzerland or La La Land to release it again, either the same way, or in a handy 2-disc edition without the original release.

Not so funny , when you return from a family holiday (without internet access) and find an seemingly unlimted CD suddenly sold out!
That's what happened to me this morning. 
Might have been helpful if FSM or SAE had posted a while ago clarifying that King Kong was going to change status from unlimited to limited.

As an earlier poster said its amazing that there were no more then 66 members of the orchestra. The sound is BIG, romantic and heartpounding suspensfull to my ears.
Okay, I admit I'm no expert on composing or orchestrating, but it seems to me that, actually, smaller orchestras can have certain advantages of their own and might be able to achieve certain effects larger orchestras might struggle to achieve. It's not all about size.
To illustrate my point, imagine Anthony Hopkins doing a passionate solo reading of Shakespeare. You can delight in every roll of the tongue; in every change in cadence; even in the sharp intakes of breath between each staccato phrase.
Now imagine a hundred Anthony Hopkins' reading the same in unison. It would sound bigger, more cavernous, but some of those exquisite details would be lost in the mass of sound.
One possible advantage of the smaller orchestra may be to keep certain voicing crisper, achieving the crispness you'd associate with solo or duo delivery. Studio techniques can keep it sounding big without losing that crispness.
I'm not sure I believe this and I've never seen it corroborated, but the commentary track on Star Crash claims Barry had a VERY small orchestra, i.e. just a handful of players, and that the 'big' sound was achieved exclusively with studio techniques. Like I said, I'm not sure about it being that small, but it almost certainly would have been a smaller orchestra than he had on The Black Hole or Moonraker.
A lot of people are surprised to learn that Alice's Adventures In Wonderland was also a small orchestra.
Cheers
