Let’s not forget Intrada’s MacArthur on Monday! My wallet is crying on top of Xmas shopping. Together with the LL releases I’ve never double dipped on so many soundtracks within a months time period before.
Thankfully, my wallet is home free. That's the one good thing about all these reissues and expansions; they keep my wallet safe. In some way, I breathe a sigh of relief that there aren't previously unreleased Williams scores and the like that I would be "forced" to buy, even if it would obviously be great to have them. That being said, I can easily see why these batches cause so much enthusiasm in these circles - an embarassment of riches, is that the term?
Most of these scores I bought years ago upon initial releases so despite the cost of double dipping these bring me back to lost times and the nostalgia of revisiting them. What a great hobby.
