How do you know for SURE that the score disc is in the box? If information exists that says a score CD was included does that mean that they all have it? I don't play video games and own no video game systems (I do have the playstation 1, although I very rarely use it anymore). I don't want to pay for something that is completely useless to me. I once asked an ebay seller if a score CD was included with the "Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle Earth" game he was selling. His response indicated that he did not know. If you are looking on eBay (also try half.com, I never have much luck on Amazon.com), look at the picture of the item and see if there is a circle (looks like a sticker)that says BONUS - Call Of Duty 3 Soundtrack Inside. But, you have to be careful, because some sellers use stock pictures, so theirs might not have the soundtrack. I would recommend contacting the seller to see. I received Call Of Duty 2 + 3 and they were both one separate disc from the game and in a paper sleeve. I am not a video game player either, but when I saw the Call Of Duty 3 CD soundtrack for sale by itself go for $30 plus, and then found the game with the soundtrack included for $3.99, I jumped on it. The ones I also bought had soundtrack in the title of the auction. One of the CD with the score was still sealed!

I once bought a copy of the special promo LP of the Jerry Goldsmith score for "In Like Flint" at an apartment sale in Santa Monica, California for $5.00. The recording was given away to those attending the world premier of the film on March 4, 1967 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. I've often wondered how many copies were pressed.

Not too spectacular, but I found the Friedhofer's THIS EARTH IS MINE!/THE YOUNG LIONS two-fer the other day for eight bucks.

I drove to a discount music shop in Florida awhile back and found about 20 nice scores for $1.99 each with a buy one get one free deal thrown in for good measure. I was poking though the endless boxes of discs and found, among others, "First Men In The Moon" (Cloud Nine), a few Italian import Morricone scores and a couple of CAM CD's. Listening to the Laurie Johnson score for the first time was a great experience.

I finally was able to returned two Christmas presents I wasn't able to "get rid of". Luckily, I got full price store credit on both. Then I got even luckier - there was a collection of unopened score CDs marked as used, and the FYE I was at had a Buy 2 Get 1 Free on used CDs, so I was able to procure... Bruce Broughton - Homeward Bound 2 Akira Ifukube - Godzilla: 50th Anniversary Edition Richard Gibbs - Battlestar Galactica (Miniseries) Lawrence Rosenthal - Clash Of The Titans ...all four at about $20. Not bad! FYE isn't gonna close down anytime soon, is it? I hope not; It seems like one of the better stores to go hunting for scores for cheap. I was at a few FYE locations last summer in the northwestern US - Got MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE at one, a number of Rykodiscs at another, and at the Tacoma, WA location I recall buying CROCODILE DUNDEE, PET SEMATARY, WELCOME HOME ROXY CARMICHAEL and THE WINDS OF WAR. There were a number of other CDs I was interested in, such as HOLLOW MAN and SERIAL MOM but I was running low on American currency. At another FYE in Bellevue, WA was RUDY and LEGEND (the TD version of the score). I wanted both at the time, but again I had to pass. IMO, FYE, Hastings and Half Price Books are the best for used soundtrack CDs. Shame none of those exist north of the border.

David Shire's "Return to Oz" for $3.99 on vinyl at Atomic Records in Burbank recently made me very happy. A few years ago, I picked up vinyl discs of Goldsmith's "Chinatown" and Komeda's "Rosemary's Baby" from Atomic for about $5 each. I was so thrilled to nab both of those, after I paid for them I asked the cashier where their inventory comes from. He told me often it's wives selling off their husband's collections, which I found disturbing and made me glad that I am single. I often stop by on the off-chance some poor collector has recently been divested by their spouse. People DO croak, so I guess somebody has to sell their stuff.
