"Red Dawn", the first title Intrada released.
That was roughly 30 years ago. It was an exciting time, and it continues to be exciting to see what Intrada will issue next.
They had this wonderful little store front on Vallejo just off Polk Street in San Francisco. While hours were posted, the store was usually open within an hour of opening time. Folks drifted in, folks drifted out.
Conversations were had. Anyone could listen in or join. There was no internet to speak of, so it was always great to hear about the latest news in soundtrack circles...who was scoring what and what label was releasing which score, etc.
For us East Coasters looking for particular items, there was always Mr. Doug Fake himself, available on the phone at his store and happy to schmooze about matters of quality, availability, best versions to look for and just about anything soundtrack-related. Always friendly, mellow, knowledgeable. When he announced RED DAWN and the plan to forge ahead with a series of quality film music releases, I knew already from the conversations I'd had with him that we were in store for nothing but top-drawer stuff. And so it has proven to be!
I was disappointed to find that my individual order history on the Intrada website only goes back to 2003, so all of the earlier history (going back, in my case, to the formation of Intrada as a producer of recordings somewhere back in the mid-80s) is unavailable. No internet then, as Ron says, at least not in the hands of general consumers.

1. Alien (Mike Matessino re-compiled and remastered 2 disc set). Along with the SUPERMAN: THE MOVIES blue box, these were my re-entry to actual soundtrack purchasing after years of biding my time. I've never looked back.
Followed by...
2. WarGames. An underrated classic.
3. Monsignor. John Williams and the London Symphony in the last of The Glory Years.

I suppose it was either Poltergeist II (30 min) or Inchon (The Goldsmith Assembly).
