It's always weird to me when people come and say "missed it" - I confirmed what this was going to be a week ago (over a week ago), it was announced here on Monday at six in the morning as well as on just about every other place one could announce and it was available until Wednesday at eleven in the morning.
Uh, people have lives of their own? I was actually planning to buy this but my schedule got busy this week and I also missed out. It's not that we don't want to buy it....

I don't know any film music collectors who have lives of their own, sorry.

Bruce decided on a 1200 run. Very often copies would be left on the shelves for months or years. In this case it sold out in 4 days. If you're not paying attention you'll miss out. It's how it is.

I continue to fail to understand why you (and a few others) seem to assume everyone reads every post.
I don't know, perhaps they should be. It's also been on the main page of this board since Monday at six. You'd have to go three days without having seen it to have missed it. I guess some do, but you know what - I see an awful lot of posts here on those three days in an awful lot of threads (I'm sure you can guess which) and I can't help it if certain titles don't pique people's interest enough to open the thread that says NEW KRITZERLAND: THE MISSOURI BREAKS until the title is sold out. As I've said repeatedly, if anyone missed out they can drop me an e-mail and I'll put them on a waiting list.

And it's limited, it doesn't matter how early it's announced, or how publically it is known in advance, as long as there is a fixed amount that sells out very quickly, somebody is going to miss it. This is true of any label, and not a complaint directed toward Kritzerland, but rather the idea expressed above.

I agree with Chris, it is all about the music. However, we haven't had too many rapid sell outs recently so this one seems to have come as a surprise to some people.
Predicting how many copies a title will sell is difficult.I try to pick up CDs that I want as quickly as possible.

A would have to disagree, there have been plenty of sell outs on the "smaller labels" (not a put-down, but I think we can agree that Varese, Intrada and La-La Land are the "big" labels), as only Varese and Intrada do "unlimited" releases, all other labels have limited runs. This was just a title more folks had an interest in - a safe rule to go by, "If it's not Intrada, it's not unlimited," will lead to less misses of titles. As has been stated by some labels, the unlimited runs are affecting sales downward as us buyers can now wait... and wait ...and wait. Look to see the limited runs returning to a label near you, or that label won't be near you anymore...
For the labels it's more than just about the music, it's about making a profit so they can release more music, to make more profit...

Well, I'm sure there are other labels that would disagree with your choice of only three as the "big" labels - not that that sort of moniker is necessary or all that interesting.

We've been fortunate to have a few rather quick sellouts recently, and those have been very helpful.
