It's Intrada. They don't do limited editions anymore.
Sure they do. They just don't announce the limitation restrictions anymore, in order to head off the mad rush and the angry fans who miss out when demand for a title snowballs and it disappears within a day or two.
I thought the way it worked was this:
Yes, they are limited, but if they sell out too quick, they'll extend it. And by not announcing either (a) the original limit; and (b) the extension, they ensure it's available for a reasonable amount of time for everyone to have a fair shout at getting it.
Am I right?
Cheers

Awesome! I have fond memories of this score in high school.
The film itself has some major flaws, but I always felt the score was a Goldsmith gem.
And I agree, I never understood why The Shadow's appearance became so... "literal" in the movie. Weird.

One of the most thrilling releases of the year. I'll echo the cover art praise. Stunning.

One of my favorite things about The Shadow is his ability to turn himself into a shape-shifting vapor to effectively beat up all the thugs on the bridge, but after it's all over, he still needs to take a taxi home.

The low budget 1930’s and 1940’s films and a serial that feature The Shadow are also a hoot if you are in the right mood (hint more than a couple glasses of red wine) but can be sheer torture if you are not:
The Shadow Strikes
International Crime
The Shadow (serial)
The Shadow Returns
Behind the Mask
The Missing Lady.
“Behind the Mask” and “The Missing Lady” are available on Netflix streaming. They are extremely low low bargain basement budget – the Shadow is not even remotely menacing as played by the extremely handsome Kane Richmond (who has a great profile…). He's portrayed as sort of a misogynistic prig.
I can’t wait to get this latest Intrada release when funds allow – Mr. Goldsmith’s score adds an immeasurable sense of intrigue, adventure, and exotic flavour to the film. I only have an lp version so this is a most welcome upgrade. I enjoy the film – great cast all around – it just seems a tad action prosaic at key points – with a great villain. IMHO.
Added note: "Chandu the Magician" - 1932 - directed by the amazing William Cameron Menzies has sort of a "Shadow" feel -- a plot with a super-hero magician using mind control and hypnosis to oppose a great great villain in Bela Lugosi! It is a rousing and beautifully designed film.
