It's worth pointing out that THE MONEYCHANGERS is a 2-CD set, packed with well over TWO HOURS of classic Mancini! It's a steal at this price. And I think SLEUTH is one of Addison's most enjoyable scores. Just listen to that fantastic "Overture," or the meltingly beautiful horn solo in "Epilogue" (courtesy the great John Burden). Interesting choices---but you would know, birthday boy! ;-)

I think one of the reasons is that if people start to expect that their releases will go on sale in a few months, they'll hold off and orders will suffer ------------- On the other hand, if some of these releases are not shiffting at $20, do Intrada just leave them on the shelf unsold for years? Not an easy one to resolve.

On the other hand, if some of these releases are not shiffting at $20, do Intrada just leave them on the shelf unsold for years? First off, in most cases, they can't leave them unsold for years. In general, they have a release window negotiated upfront. (Sometimes, when they announce a title is going out of print, it's for that reason, though people here always assume it means the disc has a) sold well, or b) sold terribly.) But leaving that out, as you say, it's not easily resolved. Ultimately, it's just a guess -- will they make more money (or lose less) in the long run selling off old stock even if it means their early sales take a hit because fans will wait for an assumed sale down the road? Tough question.

Agreed. Those ridiculous new US postal charges have also encouraged me to buy from the UK or Europe. Hopefully, with lots of people being deterred from using their Int'l post service, it might make them re-think their rip-off policy!
