The only people who should be angry live in CA where they have to pay 18 bucks of tax on top of the fifteen bucks shipping (unless they go pick it up).

Sorry to see that the product info fails to mention that I did a complete ground-up new restoration, mix & assembly on The Day the Earth Stood Still.

No good deed goes unpunished ;-)
Thanks for the great work, and for the clarification, Mike! A grateful tip of the hat to Nick, Julie and Bob, as well!
(In any case, I bought first, and asked questions later.)

Very, very tempting.
What was the Jerry Goldsmith at 20th Century Fox Set initially priced at?

This is a really tempting set. I have many of the scores in this set, either in original form (Journey, Reef) or as re-recordings (5Fingers, Snows, Earth, Muir) and honestly generally prefer the sound of the re-recordings (Herrmann seems to re-record well to my ear), so I'll pass.
However, that doesn't mean that the set isn't a top notch production and a great bargain and I really applaud Varese for their effort. I doubt if they'll reap much (if any) profit from it, given what it must have cost to produce.
Part of the reason for that sentiment is the preservation aspect of the set. I'd love to see this set be a part of major library collections and available to the public. Do film music publishers ever donate recordings for posterity's sake? This would definitely be one release that should qualify. I'd put in a purchase request for my own University to see if they'd bite on the set, but it'll almost certainly be sold out by the time this sells out.
Anyways, Varese takes a lot of crap sometimes, in part because they're absent on the film music boards, but they really do need to be commended on this (and many other fantastic releases) they put out. If a Varese rep is reading this, well done. You've done a great service to the film music community

I really do wish this set was something I could afford. Especially because I've been wanting Hangover Square for years. Oh, well... I think it's an awesome release and it IS priced fairly, I just can't do it. Hope you all enjoy it, those who do get it!
