I think the idea makes sense. There are some titles that though you can find them on the secondary market, you do have to pay a little bit for them, so does it make more sense to make a 1000 or 500. I think for some of these titles where they have been out of print for decades, but don't fetch CRAZY prices on the secondary market, a 500 unit release makes sense. Robert has his Encore club and those are usually 1000 or 1200 or so. This 500 doesn't fit that mold so we decided on a smaller unit, 500 which I think for some titles will fit this new series quite well, Agnes Of God being one of them. These will be in CD cases and we're remaster these when we can like the announcement said. New liner notes? I don't know about that as Robert is handling this new series. Agnes Of God will be divided into cues this time so that will please many, myself included!
The Little Box Of Horrors was a combined effort from Cary Mansfield, Bryon Davis and me, Peter Hackman aka drivingmissdaisy. I'm very happy with the way it turned out and it's a great deal for what you get. If you aren't interested in it, that is COMPLETELY fine. There are so many other great releases by all the other labels we all treasure so much.
This should be a fun hobby; collecting/listening to soundtracks and no one, myself included, should ever get so upset where they are foaming at the mouth or cursing people. At the end of the day we all love this interesting type of music and our community is quite small actually. There is no soundtrack release that should ever get anyone so upset that they are foaming at the mouth in anger, at the end of the day, these are just soundtracks. The world will go on, your life will go on and there are bigger issues out there than soundtrack releases.
Your comments are spot on! Un-fortunately for a small few, this will go in one ear and right out the other...
Just let them whine, they'll never be happy. I, for one, am completely grateful for our beloved labels which very much includes Varese!!

Never seen the film, though. Is it worth it?
It's a tough movie to recommend. It's handsomely mounted and features some fine acting (it's a shame that Fonda is more famous for being Jane Fonda than her immense talent), but ultimately it never decides what it wants to be; mystery, police procedural, courtroom drama, meditation on faith, etc. It flits around between agendas, losing so much focus that it fails to earn any of its payoffs. It's not helped much by Delerue's score, which is so beautiful on the album but barely in the movie. I think it's spotted with maybe 15-20 minutes of music. More music might have helped the film's disparate strands coalesce a little better.
Lookit brainiac over 'ere.

I'm very happy about this release. Well done Varese! I'm going to buy it. Thanks Peter Hackman too for always being a very nice and polite person, it's much appreciated by me anyhow.

I don't think this is remastered. The press blurb never said it was.
That's actually true, the post said: "We have even taken advantage of the opportunity to re master many of these to give them just a little extra shine." so there's no telling if Agnes Of God is one of the many or not. They did mention that full details will be announced on the day it's released. What I hope this doesn't turn into is no mention of remastering either way on the day of release and then 500 people who already own the original release buy it before it sells out, hoping that it's remastered and then find out it's not.

I just have this dream and hope that one of these days, discussions will actually be about the music or the film, instead of various collector issues (limited editions, sale times, postage issues, remasterings etc.) -- in other words, everything AROUND the music itself.
But those of us who long for that, seem to be a dying breed.
