Seriously though, think it will be a box set of something?

I'm hoping it'll be something I can afford, like Alfred Newman at Tri-Star or Franz Waxman at Revolutionary. My wallet can only handle those.

Guys, as much as I would want everything named in this thread, be realistic.

It's Star Trek: Into Darkness.

Not a batch, nor an expensive title/set, that's already been said.

Rationalize it a bit - why would Varese, under the new,hip Cutting Edge
management who apparently doesn't care as much for 'the old stuff' (witness
the price reductions on other club cd's), come out of the woodwork to announce
1 new Club title, and have it be one of our obscure grails?

It's been just long enough for the old Trek release to make the money its going to
make, the DVD/Blu out just long enough for it not to be totally forgotten yet and surely there is some pressure-push to get ALL the Treks complete and out there.

I just don't understand why you all torture yourselves with constant I want I need posts
of the same titles endlessly. I guess its just 'our way'.....

Love,
Mr. Unpopular



I'm hoping for anything else right now because I know that Star Trek Into Darkness is something I would really want...and considering my funds are almost nonexistent. It would fly off the shelves and my next chance on getting it would be on Amazon or Ebay for $100+

...just like the deluxe release of the last Star Trek...which I still have not managed to get. It's just too expensive. so I'm hoping for something else at this point, but your logic is extremely sound

Anyone know if the MCA LP/Varese CD of MacArthur is a rerecording? Not familiar with the film but if there's more to release and masters available, that would be a pretty cool Club CD....always loved Goldsmith's score, really must see the film sometime.

Just had an idea as i woke this morning. Imagine the sole "club title" as a 4-6 CD Goldsmith collection of previously released tracks by the composer from the Varese Label, a la the anniversary style collections done before, value priced, in honor of Goldsmith's Birthday. If that was just as doable for one composer as the other collections of the past, it would be a brilliant idea and inline with their retrospective/celebration CD line model. Just a thought.

Sadly, as I have no money currently available these releases could not have come at a worse time, whatever they are. frown

They said in the post quoted from Facebook - "it won't be too hard for budget this time." That's hardly how you'd phrase it if you were about to release a multi-disc set. (Unless you were evil. Ev-iillllll!)

I think it is logical that the one title will be 'Star Trek into Darkness". I was hoping for a Goldsmith gala, maybe next time?

I think so, if you're on the east coast.

Thanks David. Wouldn't mind a complete Into Darkness... Like it better then the first Giacchino outting. Especially the Klingon bits... Great aggressive scoring. Want the second half of Kronos Quartet!

If it is Into Darkness, I hope its in the same physical format as before, just so the two go together on the shelf.

I hope (and believe) I'm wrong about Into Darkness...doesn't make sense either way it goes down! :-p

I really doubt it's Into Darkness. I'd be surprised if we didn't get it at some point, but it's been less than a year since the original release and Varese just released an expanded Trek. Are people guessing it just because it's a single club release like Trek 2009? There have been other single releases (Goldsmith at Fox, Herrmann at Fox) so that alone doesn't guarantee it. My bet's still on a Goldsmith release of some kind.

I'm not buying any of the theories. Could it be a Goldsmith in honor of his birthday? Sure. But what if his birthday hadn't happened to fall on a Monday? We are prone to see connections where none exist.

Is there a single person here who would buy "The List of Adrian Messenger" (say) in honor of Goldsmith's birthday, but wouldn't were it released in June? I don't think the confluence would mean a single sale gained or lost.

I also don't see the price reductions on older Club releases as in any way indicative that Cutting Edge (despite their name) is only interested in hipper titles. Most likely, they want to move stock that is sitting around.

I offer a contrary theory on Cutting Edge: That they want Varèse to release more Club releases. Issuing scores they already own, without a middleman, for $20 each, seems a better business model to me than selling a few hundred copies of "Ride Along" on Amazon for $13 (meaning they get maybe $8?), appealing to a not-very-broad Christopher Lennertz fanbase or to Ice Cube completists who don't care that he doesn't rap on this one. Clearly, the last batch of releases was jammed into the last weeks of 2013 (remember, credit cards were charged then) to get those on the books last year.

I haven't got a clue as to what the one release we'll see tonight will be, but it could very easily be a disc they couldn't quite get out in the last batch, and which they'd rather start seeing income on right now rather than waiting until all their other CDs are ready.
