My God, is this set OOP already?? Can't find it on SAE!
It sold out in a couple of days. I can't imagine Intrada has many left, knowing how many they were shipped, unless they just turned it on for ordering.
I will have some very limited emergency copies, but I have to wait two weeks at least so I know that copies have arrived safely.
Do you think you could put one away for me, if one arrives safely? I was just going to buy a couple of CD's from SAE with this title among them and noticed it was already too late.
I would have ordered it a week or so ago but I was waiting for an order from SAE to arrive and didn't want to make a new one in case there were some issues with my current order.
Don't have the La-La Land Release, but am one of those crazy guys who'll end up having both!
Yes, just drop me an e-mail at kritzerland at gmail dot com.

You can still order it from Intrada (it only reads "Out of stock" because they haven't received their copies yet).
http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8100/.f
P.S. You could also email BK to see if he has any "emergency" copies left. 
For anyone who's keeping track of which companies are shipping when - I received a shipping notice from Intrada this morning that my copy was on its way...
But unfortunately for those who missed it...the CD's not even listed on the Intrada site at this point.

For those who order from SAE - it takes at least three days to get from us to them. Intrada's much closer and gets theirs usually a day later.

I've always thought Breakheart Pass sounded very Barnaby Jones-esque as well. I'm glad it's not just me. Good score. Maybe a reissue of Take a Hard Ride will follow.

And let's face it, Spymaster - even if we hadn't included the edited track as it - you know - appears in the film - you'd have still come and complained that you didn't need the additional cue because it ruins the listening experience, even though you haven't heard it. I don't think I need say more, do you?
You don't really want to go there, do you? Had Intrada presented Congo as it appeared in the film (continuing my example) their album would have been a complete shambles! If Goldsmith had wanted music there he'd have written it, don't you think?
If your album had reproduced the LLL edition, without the unnecessary edited (repeated!) track, and perhaps with the D/M/E track at the end, I'd have considered it.
You are quite wrong in claiming I had no intention of buying it. I'm a Goldsmith completist.
If you're a completist, why would having the piece you want plus something you don't want and aren't required to listen to be such a problem that you would spite yourself by passing up the complete edition?

You know what's funny about this "half a cue" that was missing, a glorious minute and twenty-second piece, BTW - no one save for Bond said boo about its not being on the previous release, not a one of the Goldsmith completists, and now we're being actually castigated by one "person" for including it. It's more than a little off-putting and Jeff can probably tell you why - this was supposed to announce almost a month ago. We were just going to clone the previous release and we knew we'd sell the 1000 and that would be that.
But as soon as Jeff told me about this, and I heard the cue in the film, I was determined to have it. We pulled every tape they had - first they could only find two tiny five-inch reels (that's where we found the alternate mix of the end title, which has a more prominent piano part in the bridge - that was used in the film, BTW) - I thought we were out of luck, but then they found the rest - five reels of 15ips tapes mis-filed under Breakfast Pass  I had those transferred at not a small expense, just in the hopes that the cue was there - it wasn't. I then had the DME pulled and had THAT transferred at great expense and I was going to put it on no matter what, but the quality of the transfer was quite good - just a bit more tape hiss was the worst of it. No sound effects, no dialogue. That all took three weeks to do and we figured Jerry fans would be thrilled and quite obviously some are.
But to have to endure this Spymaster sniggering is disgusting. After all, it's not as if the music-only track from a DME hasn't been used on many, many FSM releases, Intrada releases, and, wait for it, La La Land releases. There, I've said it and I'm glad and I know that those who make the purchase will love the score (one of my favorite Jerry's) and, I'm sure, having it complete.
Bruce, we love ya for it. Nobody does what you do to make a killing. They do it because they love movie music. Keep on doing what you do for as long as you can afford to do it because there are many of us who appreciate it.

I only have the Kritzerland edition of this score, which I was fortunate enough to get through a trade. I don't have the prior LLL edition, so I don't know how they differ. The Kritzerland is excellent.

I only have that old fake Japanese Poo label LP from the 70s. Never cared much for the score, but so many people love it. Perhaps I'll give it another spin. Rather hoping I still don't like it. Last thing I need is to stress out about another pricy out of print CD I want.

Don’t stress too much. It’s Goldsmith, it’s a western, and it’s MGM/UA, so a studio particularly friendly to easily licensing titles out to film music specialty labels. It was a good seller for Kritzerland so it’s possible they might even rerelease it, as they did with the Friedhofer western One Eyed Jacks! Or maybe Intrada will decide they’d like a turn with the score after the two lands (La-La and Kritzer) have already had their turn… I’ll be very surprised if we’ve seen the last CD release of this score.
You shouldn’t judge it by a poor sounding unmentionable, anyways…
