A New Series from Varèse Sarabande:
VARÈSE 500
Though so many companies are releasing fewer and fewer physical discs these days, we still love CDs at Varèse Sarabande. Even with as many CDs as we are releasing, we realized that we have a large catalog of titles that have been out of print for 10 or 20 years, or even longer! For those who have never had a chance to own some of our wonderful releases from the 1980s or 90s, we have now created a new series just for you!
Varèse 500 will offer special limited editions of just 500 copies of some absolutely wonderful scores that may have otherwise just remained in our archives or solely on digital platforms like iTunes. We have even taken advantage of the opportunity to re master many of these to give them just a little extra shine.
At 500 copies, they don't need to be blockbusters. The series will consist of some very special films and film scores by some of our greatest composers. Scores like Georges Delerue's "Agnes of God", Elmer Bernstein's "The Grifters" and George Fenton's "White Palace" ... maybe you have them already ... but for those who don't, Varèse Sarabande has created Varèse 500, an exceptional new series of film music classics revisited. – Robert Townson
To inaugurate this new series we are so happy to present Georges Delerue's 1985 Academy Award-nominated score for Norman Jewison's AGNES OF GOD. So beautiful, moving and heartfelt, this is one of the composer's most loved scores.
The Varèse 500 release of AGNES OF GOD will be available for ordering on December 12.
Full details on this title will be announced then at the Varèse Sarabande web site.

Jesus... how many series are there now?
- Varese Club series
- Limited edition series
- Encore series
- Hackman's shitty boxes series
I am sure I am missing one or two more.... and now this?
Cool it down, who would say no to easy money? I mean, how much work was put into this release? That said, I'm pretty sure the booklet will be the same as the first edition, but I will be glad to be proven otherwise.
As I said in the last Varese Box thread, Varese is trying to get as much money out of their stagnate library from falling CD sales. Throwing everything out there before CDs are gone. Releasing them at 500 each there will probably be a one day sell out, well at least on Agnes Of God. Other labels release CDs that are limited to 500 and they are around for awhile. Too bad Varese will not let some of these go, so another label can release them properly. I really think they are scrapping for sales. Let's try this, well that did not work, let's try this, well that didn't work either, okay, let's try this...

Well, it didn't take long for the usual suspects to come out and bitch about Varese as usual... But how is this not a proper release? It's on CD, most likely a jewel case (considering how anal some people are about that sort of thing), contains a booklet. Sounds like a proper release to me.
