So, my question. Why all the hoopla? Is this just a collecting thing, where it is a chance to plug a hole in your collections, never do be heard again; or is it that I'm just out of the loop, and everyone does think this is a wonderful listen.
It's just fans celebrating a release of a much-desired score (to them). Obviously not everyone on the forum will share the same enthusiasm, although some members who previously didn't know about the score might decide to give it a go on the basis of other people's positive comments and encouragement. (And sometimes there will also be a couple of "watermelon announcers" as well.) But I enjoy reading about other people's enjoyment of a favourite title - it's nice.
"Black Sunday" is by no means a JW grail for me (and I barely remember watching the picture), although I would love to get it at some point. For me it's an issue of budget: coming right on the heels of the Cosma and Rozsa boxes, plus "Islands" and "Blue Max" (neither of which I've owned any of the preceding versions), plus the new releases from the two "Lands" labels (La-La ~ and Krizter~), plus a few other things I've picked up, I'm simply all spent out for the month.

I am not sure I understand what is going on here...nor do I care to try. I have a great relationship with Intrada, if I am allowed to characterize it. Yes, we are competitors, but I hope in a good sense in that we try to outdo each other in a friendly rivalry. We do assist on each others' productions from time to time, including several going on at the moment. And we share an art director (Joe Sikoryak). Some things we do a little differently... but it would be a boring world if everyone did things the same way.
I hope I don't sound too cool for school but I don't keep track of the rivalries and antagonisms on this message board unless something blows up to the point where I have no choice -- and even then, I find it tiresome beyond belief. I look at Intrada's board but I barely have enough time to post on this one.
I give people a wide berth here to criticize. There are many reasons: It's in the spirit of how FSM started (20 years ago!), it inspires debate, it grows the board, it fosters ideas. For a perfect example, 10Arrow's post above: I can't say that's going to help us move Black Sunday CDs, but it's thoughtful, it's couched fairly, it's interesting, and I even agree in some ways. I'm glad that people feel the freedom to chime in like that.
It's when people get hair triggers and simply act in an antisocial manner that I'm simply disappointed and wish they would show some emotional maturity.
Lukas
p.s. Robert Eastman, this song is for you: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/store/MP3/0604/05_BE_HAPPY_AGAIN__JINGLE_O.MP3
Love it, just adore you, Lukas.....

I certainly agree with you, Intrada is very customer friendly, exemplary in their service and dispatch. I believe I've made that clear here and elsewhere.
I'm not too quick to ignore, though. Mixed emotions, here.
I get very angry when someone attacks my friends for no good reason.
Eastman comes in here, insults Doug and Roger because he got banned from the Intrada webboard, but can’t admit that it was due to his own obnoxious behavior, which was witnessed by several people. Instead, he issues a groveling apology to Lukas, when he should be apologizing to Doug and Roger (and everyone else here) for his ignorance and immaturity.
The people who run Intrada's forum want it to be a calm, civil place that doesn't degenerate into FSM threads like... oh... this one, where a once-peaceful discussion about a cool score release has been run off the rails by a handful of fanboys who, once again, are incapable of praising something unless they simultaneously attack something (or someone) else.
Eastman needs to quit acting like a tantrum-throwing child who blames everyone but himself for the consequences of his actions.
I'm done with this thread. Looking forward to listening to my copy of BLACK SUNDAY, though.

Thanks for telling that in such good words ( I can't because of my bad english)!

I have no respect for Fake or Fig, why would I apolgize? They should apologize to me. I always felt that Intrada's releases were sub-par(just listen to their wretched re-recording of "Spellbound", poor in execution and sound) except for the Goldsmith releases. Never voiced that opinion before because I did not want to offend Fake and Fig, now I don't care.

John: Your are correct, no further comments on this subject. I spent a lot of money because I wanted to support these labels, whether I like the release or not. I can afford to, so in most cases I gave the CD'S away.
You got Intrada's to give away?!!? Send me your list man. In fact, just send them all to me. 
Plus FSM, LaLa, Kritzer, The ones I did not want, I gave away.
RM, sorry this all shook out the way it did, but what can I say? No one is totally perfect, yet no one is totally flawed, either. If you gave those away, I think it speaks well of you. As a personal aside, try to get past the anger- it hurts you more than the source.
