Fanderson’s eagerly awaited Space:1999 40th anniversary Year One soundtrack CD is now available for club members to pre-order online. The CD will be launched on September 20th, and is a full update of the club’s 1998 double-CD release.



This is the very reason I joined the club and damned happy I did. It'll be great to get this 'un. Hopefully, in a year or so, they'll follow up with a complete, freshly mixed and complete Derek Wadsworth album. Hopefully with some synth overlays recreated/restored missing from some cues. Lovely music for both years.

Glad you'll be getting this, Scott. At least those who can afford it or have the membership already (not me, insert crying emoticons here) will get to enjoy your lovely cover art. You will post it on albumartexchange, right? Between you and me (SUN209), most soundtrack covers now get posted there.

Cheers!

LOL! Was that UFO?

Oh well, Guess it's true because I'm going "WHAAAAA! WHAAAAA! WHAAAAA!" because I won't be able to get this.

Oh and here is an idea: Not buying every single last re-re-re-issue could perhaps free up some hard earned cash for other purchases. Just a thought.

Unless a decent, all-encompassing release of season sets of SPACE: 1999 music happen to be one of the things one wants to free up some cash for. The price of both membership and CD, plus double shipping for both, makes this pretty impossible for anyone who is only interested in Gerry Anderson productions for SPACE: 1999.

Your "oh and here is an idea" is worded a) sarcastically and b) assumes a great deal about what purchases other fans would, could, should put their money to. Clearly if I'm sad that I can't afford this particular release, it's probably obvious that this music holds a special place in my heart - about, oh $50 worth or so, not $170 for a few CDs, regardless how much I love that music.

As a member, I *can* order one more copy for somebody. But even members are only allowed to buy a maximum of two. I can and am prepared to help one person out and buy one for you off the back of my membership. But I can only help one.

Mail me if you want that to be you and please understand I can't help any more than one. You just need to cover the cost of the CD and postage.

EDIT: Please no more requests. I've done my one and only help.

Cheers


Hi, Stephen,

Tried to find your e-mail here, to send you a request. Would love to be the guy that gets your extra CD, and I would happily find something else to thank you for your help. Perhaps a lottery of all those people who request your help? smile

the Lalaland Thunderbirds release is on the Fanderson merchandise site - maybe LLL can start charging a "membership fee" to overseas purchasers, heheh. Two can play this game.wink

If I'm doing the math correctly, this is not worth it for someone who (a) doesn't live in England, and (b) has the Silva Screen albums. Unless you are fabulously wealthy and obsessed with this stuff.

as has already been said, it's too bad you cant just pay for a membership and either skip the magazine, or receive it online. The postage for the mandatory magazine effectively doubles the membership to we in the "rest of world": £43.00 (£22.00 + £21.00 postage)

Yes, a true tragedy it is. Although I've heard that Fanderson orchestrated this whole huge conspiracy just to deprive you (yes, you specifically!) of your precious music.

Overseas customers already pay quite a significant premium for orders made from US stores, even more so than those of us in Canada, in both higher shipping (the $2.00 per additional disc must really hurt on large orders compared to the $.50 Americans and Canadians pay) and in many cases customs duties.

And they don't actually sell the LLL Thunderbirds release; what you linked to is the News site, with a link to LLL's own store for people interested in purchasing. If I understand it correctly, the Fanderson merchandise section isn't a true reseller or online store where they're free to just sell any release the way Intrada or MovieMusicStore or BSX can. I read their FAQ, and because they're a club, and therefore "trade" with fellow members, they're exempt from paying UK income tax, lowering their overall costs and allowing them to put more into the merchandise they offer.

Except for Customs charges, I would think that the strong Euro and Pound would easily compensate for expensive USA postage. Whereas if we in the USA try to order directly from UK/Europe (rather than Screenarchives), we pay alot.

I never said they did sell it - otherwise I would have suggested LLL charge Fanderson (rather than "overseas purchases" in general) a membership fee. The idea being that those customers' negative experience might indirectly influence Fanderson's policy.

With the GB to US exchange rate, the set cost me $60. Total.

I'm not wealthy nor obsessed (passionate, maybe). I also have the Silva Screen Albums which leave off a lot of great music.

I order a lot from the UK (Network DVD and Amazon) and shipping is never all that much, really. Fanderson did not piss me off in the slightest. Money well spent.

That is including membership and postage and album costs? For how many albums?

Membership is separate, which I didn't have a problem with since I plan to order more than just this CD set.

It was $60 for the set which included postage.

Mandatory membership price: $35
Mandatory postage to USA for magazine (wanted or not): $34
Total $69

3-CD set: $60

Grand total for we only interested in this set: $129

But heh, we have domestic bitchstarter (as in complaining) CD releases too:
SPARTACUS from Varese. 6 CDs, 1 DVD, deluxe 168-page book: $110

I might agree if the average salary in the UK were appreciably higher, but apparently it's around £26500, and converted directly that's actually lower than the average salary in either the US or Canada. Coupled with the appreciably higher cost of living in the UK, I doubt the favorable conversion helps most buyers all that much.

Of course the figures well vary across Europe, but that's one case.
