As for others, it just goes to show that the anonymous person who first said "There's no pleasing some people" is one of the wisest men or women who ever lived.
I don't know who would've been displeased if this set was only 3 or 4 CDs for $65 or $75 instead of 6 CDs + book + DVD for $110. Maybe Varese's merchant account wouldn't be having so much money flowing into it with each order, but everybody else would likely be completely satisfied. And for the people who can barely spend $20 on a release, let alone $110, it would be slightly more accessible to them as well.
Robert Townson addresses some of your "issues" here:
"The elements needed a lot of work!" -- Isn't that the case for most of these older scores? Bottom line is that if he cut the DVD and the book and with it the price by $30, the entire thing would be much easier to swallow. I hope adding the fake stereo effect to the mono tracks didn't cost anything.

I know! With all these whiny 3 year-olds at Film Score Monthly, it can't possibly be one of those message boards, right?
Robert Townson is a professional working for a for-profit business. Everybody here who is "whining" has likely given his company hundreds if not thousands of dollars in sales over the years. So, can we speak our peace on this discussion forum or not? Calling people 3 year-olds isn't helping advance the discussion at all.

Ya whiny be-atches.

Hear hear. The funniest thing is people complaining when they have no idea what went into *this* particular score. They just assumed that since Intrada can fire out four CDs a month at 20 bucks each, that Spartacus would be the same.

I have a suggestion for everyone with ideas of WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE:
Put your money where your over-exercised mouths are and produce one of these yourself some day!
That's a good argument. Why don't we just shut this message board down since it has been declared that nobody can talk about these releases but other record producers.

By all means, educate us about what went into this particular score.

Read Townson's note.
Jonathan, I get it: you're bitter. It's a ridiculous price. Go to the trading post and state your intent to pay 5 bucks for a chance to win the SPARTACUS set and let's just move on. ^^
EDIT: Also, this will be selling well I'm sure, it just got front page of The Digital Bits. http://thedigitalbits.com/#mytwocents
