I think this Varèse LIVE idea is a good one. Varèse has been touting live performance for a while now. The 6 disc set should leave off the reissues and focus on brand new recording with their new orchestra. I'd rather have that than reissues. Instead of the BTTF Trilogy disc reissue, make new suites of 80s Silvestri scores. He's got plenty of 80s gold to mine. Same with John Barry! Skip the GOONIES reissue, record more suites of Grusin, Broughton, Goldsmith, Williams, Horner, etc! That would be a better direction for this 6CD set. Perhaps there wasn't enough time to do recordings ahead of their announcement date, or there wasn't time available at a scoring stage, enough musicians to book when a stage was available, or no suites yet exist for the music you mention (Grusin, Broughton), etc.

What is it with Varese's new fascination with cardboard sleeves? Bleurgh.
|

I think it started when they hired the kid from Bad Santa, who, if you'll remember, was obsessed with Advent calendars.

Ooh, that's how they should have done the LP to CD series....a 12 month advent calendar. Sold!

What is it with Varese's new fascination with cardboard sleeves? Bleurgh. The sleeves work in that type of presentation. Maybe they are looking to present the music in a new way. There is more to packaging this stuff than the usual methods. Creative presentations are interesting and welcome in my book.

I'm surprised they aren't releasing the 1985 CD by itself instead of forcing to get the whole set of other CDs many of us already have.

I got this too, using the discount available to LP-to-CD subscribers. I have only listened to most of the first disc with the Varese Sarabande Orchestra, but found that quite enjoyable. And I'll even give the pop song disc a spin some day soon.

Question for anybody who got this CD: Is the Goonies CD indeed missing all the Bonus tracks or is this just a typo? Bonus tracks were not included in this set.
