All of this because Joe said he wished there had been a single stinkin' Golden Age title among the Varese releases? It didn't seem like "ire" to me, but I guess it depends on which side of the counter you're on.
Well, the thread title is in all caps (which correlates with screaming), with five question marks, then five exclamation points in the text, plus the general implication that they somehow 'owe' people a Golden Age title because it's been so long since the last club releases.
That seems pretty ireful to me.
The content is pretty tame and straightforward though, more plaintive than "ireful," seems to me. I wouldn't have done the title like that, but the content is the message. Some people use caps to get attention, thinking you are more likely then to read what they have to say. (And he is Joe Caps, after all!)

Hey, I'm at the front door of their office with a pitch fork and a torch, where are you all at? I thought we should just finish them off for good...

okay - always hopin for another classic from Fox and gang
Newman - O Henrys Full House,
this Above All,
bckground music to South Pacific
Varese has specialised in relesing Elmer Bernstein scores from Bernsteins own tapes.
they also have done the same for Alex North.
How about a complete Freindly Persuasion.
The album tapes are around and could be expanded using the up and down mono track that is on the Warners remaster, recently run on TCM.
Newman - Diary of Anne frank.
We seem to be going backward here.
Fox even screwed up the music on its second dvd release.
On the first release, the Overture was stuffed into the menu.
Now its back as part of the beginning of the film, but improperly edited.
The Overture finishes, then the film starts with the Fox logo with NO sound. that is because the last 18 seconds of the Overture is meant to be played directly into the Fox logo.
Again, there is an intermission card, but still missing is the exit music for act one (1:53),
and the entracte is missing (3:00).
So again, five minuts of the film and Alfred Newmans score are still missing.
All Fox had to do for reference was look at the old laserdisc edition, where everything is there, correctly. this is all very sad.
MUCHO thanks to Kritzerland for bringing out some of the most interesting releases of the past few years !!!!!!

Y'know, when I rewind 20 years and there was practically NOTHING coming out — and what did was often an unremastered LP reissue — it's weird to think that we'd be complaining about what's happening today.
Yeah okay, I'm not that moved by this batch myself and, yeah, why not a this and why not a that ... but folks these are golden, abundant times for soundtrackers, not sparse ones.
I'm more inclined to celebrate than mourn the current state of soundtrack releasing even if I have repetitively unfulfilled wants and not all batches are equally exciting.
I tell you, you'll miss it when it's all over.

If I remember correctly it was at the request of George Stevens Jr that the Diary of Anne Frank is without it's intermission music etc. Thus, I blame him not Fox for the removal of some of the
Newman music.

Actually, 20 years ago was right when expansions first started happening! Varèse's issue of Conan the Barbarian, Southern Cross' Krull, Silva's Legend: The Jerry Goldsmith Score, Intrada's Planet of the Apes (only expanded by one cue, but it was the films signature musical sequence!)…

I've made no secret of the fact that my holy grail would be a complete OBSESSION. That score seems to exist in a no-man's land which falls somewhere between The Golden Age and the newer 80's/90's milieu.
I would think that OBSESSION might appeal to devotees of both of those eras.
I'm with you. OBSESSION belongs to the elite list of unreleased scores — that list of the highest prizes amongst remaining unreleased scores.
