Just had fun adding to my sci-fi collection by finally picking up THX-1138, Soylent Green/Demon Seed, Heavy Metal, and King Kong deluxe. The sale price essentially got me King Kong free - terrific deal.

Will Star Trek 3 really be Out Of Print after these 150 copies sell?

We are evaluating the FSM catalog to determine what will stay in print and what will go out of print. This entails checking the contracts (for expirations) as well as the physical parts (booklets, loose discs) and, of course, projecting sales. We're not going to invest money into making hundreds more copies just to use up booklets if they will take 15 years to sell out. Honestly: The vast majority of the titles will not be repressed. But some will be repressed, and one big one (the blue box) will hopefully return as we have the hardcover books in stock, just no slipcases. This sale is in part to pay for those repressings...if we can!
The Elmer box will not return—at least not from us. There's no way we are printing that hardbound book again. Very proud of that one!
Needless to say...the catalog is very important to me. Most titles were undertaken with shockingly little care to commercial prospects—I just wanted them to be available to the public! I still feel that way today. Many of these will never be reissued—I just don't see the demand. Some of them have clearance issues in which all the stars aligned for our edition (but have already un-aligned) that would make it highly unlikely anyone would undertake the effort to reissue them.
I hope people buy and enjoy these!

Kudos for all, but especially for DARK OF THE SUN, a unique score for unique film by a very unique composer. You'll have to pry that one from my cold...
Thanks again!

One example: We paid $3200 to use the Nat King Cole vocals on Raintree County. Nobody will ever do that again. Pick it up!

If it is going then Wrath is likely to go at some point. Now if that gets picked up elsewhere I wouldn't mind seeing a re-release without the narration.
I'd love a narration-free version of that cue too!

Has the 2-disc edition of Barry's KING KONG sold out on SAE? I can't seem to find it.
Regardless, I'm picking up Herrmann's BLUE DENIM, ON DANGEROUS GROUND and JOY IN THE MORNING.

Along with the more obvious titles, I recommend WHOSE LIFE IS IT, ANYWAY by Arthur Rubinstein, for pure (stand alone) listening enjoyment.
