The BLUE BOX.....I have no factual knowledge of what this is, but.....
1- With rumors floating around, I think the term "BLUE BOX" actually DOES have significance. And note that Lukas has used it, himself, in his post.
2- Based on rumors I'm hearing, and if I recall correctly, I believe someone HAS guessed this previously quite some time ago---but didn't know it.
3- I think we shouldn't be looking to the Golden Age.
4- I think this is a mass-market project with a very high-profile still today, though some may be old enough to fall outside the AFM cutoff period, and other material may be European-recorded.
5- I suspect the term "famous and beloved score" will turn out to be somewhat misleading to a few.
6- I suspect we should, once again, look to the licensing companies Lukas has regularly been dealing with.
Once again.....I DON'T KNOW what this box set is.....but there are certainly rumors out there, and the format---8 discs, with 160 pages of notes, all capable of being abbreviated at some point later---certainly bolsters MY suspicions.
Doesn't the "abbreviated" concept suggest to you that this box contains much outtake, extra, or additional material, beyond the scores, which could be left out successfully in the future. And, in opposition, how many older, particularly Golden Age scores, or compiled sets, have extra material that could be eliminated?
How well do all of you remember the previous posts on the BLUE BOX?
Well if FSM decides to start on scores after 1980 how about a Superman boxed set with newly remastered scores to the first 4 films?

to summarize my guesses (for newcomers to this board please note I have never once guessed correctly 'bout a forthcoming release):
Fielding box: is THE WILD BUNCH a famous and beloved (FAB) score?
BATMAN:the animated sereies- if the BATMAN score is included that would qualify as FAB.
A bat-box w/reissue of FSM's BATMAN-THE MOVIE?
Gil Melle - no FAB scores that i can think of.
John Williams at Universal; if a remastered original version of E.T. is included; that's a FAB
Hitchcock/Universal- original tracks from PYSCHO sure qualifies as a FAB.
Alex North- SPARTRACUS a FAB score; maybe

who is a safe bet to sell 3000 units of a box set?
John Williams.
'nuff said
course, it could be a "what" not a "who"
what?
not "what" 99, "who"!
right Max.

Because it contains one of the most famous and beloved scores of all time.
I'm still puzzled over what that could be... a score that would be eagerly wanted by die-hard soundtrack collectors, that is also (apparently) loved by the general public.
I can't see much beyond Casablanca, Gone With the Wind, Wizard of Oz, Dr. Zhivago, and ET (plus any number of Disney scores). Any other suggestions for what would qualify?
BORN FREE - released by FSM

Except that every rendition of "Gone With the Wind" one can imagine has been issued, including the OST in rechanneled stereo and the OST in glorious mono...in a 2-CD Rhino set, no less.
what about sacd; dvd -a, 5.1 sound?
