After a long day at work, what a nice thread to come home to! So I'll throw in a honk as well. What an amazing amount of wonderful releases from our labels. Love the pics, too, Adam

Honk.
I mean, who else would get me to buy Superman ONE. MORE. TIME?
Who made Star Trek dreams I never even knew I had come true? (And all the ones I did know, too.)
A friend once asked me if I would one day "I would weep, seeing as I had no more worlds to conquer." I have to say, thanks to the stalwart souls at our favorite labels, that day seems close at hand.
Hell, there's an expanded Solo coming out. I didn't even know I was missing music from Solo!

A big endless HONK from here also! When I think back to what was available in the early 60s when I first started building a soundtrack collection, how they sounded and how all my favorite soundtrack LPs inevitably acquired those little snaps and pops no matter how much I spent on rice paper sleeves and cleaning solutions to pamper the grooves... The film music renaissance that began with the early Varese Club editions and the Intrada releases, and then FSM's incredible series and more recently the Kritzerland and La-La Land and Quartet and others adding priceless film score recordings for us -- it's really an improbable dream come true, in the sheer proliferation, increasing quality of sound and presentation, and of course the content. I'm glad that the CD format is still with us and hope it persists, for a variety of reasons, and would be sad indeed if it went the way of the wax cylinder. I am immensely appreciative of the willingness, of those early film music entrepreneurs like Doug Fake, Lukas Kendall, Bruce Kimmel, etc. and the others who have followed in their footsteps, to take the gamble and create what we have here.

Although I have plenty of pop CDs, classical CDs, and major labels CDs, I have no doubt that soundtrack boutique CDs make up the vast majority of my collection.
A big Honkin' HONK to them all.
And a special shout out to those European small labels like Digitmovies, Dagored, Saimel, Kronos, and others too numerous to mention who keep the flame burning for non-Hollywood film music.
Also to those boutique divisions of larger record companies, like the film music division of Universal France and others, who I'm sure have to fight with their corporate overlords on a regular basis just to keep releasing these gems.

Well, I feel soooo loved. I'd invite all you people to go to the Kritzerland website and take a look at the soundtracks we've released for the past fifteen years. Apparently, not a single solitary person in this thread has any of them or has enjoyed them and there have been some MONUMENTAL releases that never would have seen the light of day if not for us. This really makes me only want to issue show music from now on, that much I can tell you. Those folks are truly appreciative. I mean, I don't think there's a label that hasn't been mentioned save for us. Warms the cockles of my heart, truly. Maybe I'll just sit on the film music title we have coming next week and the ones after that. Yes, maybe I just will. I'm almost tempted to list the over three hundred soundtracks we've released, but why bother.

Just did a tally- over 60 Kritzerland releases...with a couple more on the way.
I think the first was either Beneath the 12-Mile Reef or The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With The Sea.
Biggest surprises for me were how much I enjoyed Dead Of Winter (Richard Einhorn) and The Spider (Søren Hyldgaard) given I wasn't familiar with either composer prior.
Really happy to have all the 1979 Pat Williams scores (Breaking Away, Cuba, Butch & Sundance), along with so many others.
I love, and appreciate all the boutique labels- especially when they hold sales as that's been my opportunity to really pillage their catalogs and discover a whole panorama of material and composers I would never otherwise have explored.

I think you're being a little overly sensitive, Bruce. First off, you are wrong that Kritzerland was not mentioned. Dana Wilcox specifically mentioned Kritzerland in his post back a few above yours. Also many posters, myself included, said "thanks to ALL the boutique labels", which includes you. I know I specifically was thinking of you among the top half dozen or so, I just didn't feel the need to list them all.
I just did a rough count and I own 85 Kritzerland CDs and I'm sure I'll buy more IF they are movie soundtracks.
I don't buy original casts or re-releases of stuff I already have (unless it's a SIGNIFICANT upgrade). Of course, I skipped a few that were scores I just never liked.
