It's also handling stated in the first post of this thread which posted the announcement, which is typical in threads on Intrada releases here for years. Still no excuse.

OK. I overlooked you mentioning that. Not that a mention of it being limited to 500 is an explanation of why it is 500.
Having no insider information nor dog in this fight, my guess is that the budget/prevailing producer interests allowed for a run of 500 and those same interests thought it was more likely to sell the full 500 units when the number limit was specifically stated. It's a gorgeous score that I very proudly own but it's a limited market inside a limited market.
I had no say in the run size. That was an Intrada decision. I'm just speculating here, but for a title that is almost completely unknown to almost every collector, maybe their mind set was, this was going to be a HARD sell out just from the onset as collectors like to buy what they know or composers they know and like. It seems like so many titles now a days are not selling out and that is the whole game plan here for all labels, sell out. I believe that if Intrada had done a 1000 on this, most collectors would think, "unheard film I've never heard or seen like most collectors, this will be around for a while I'll get it but I'll put it on the back burner for now." That's probably how my mind would have worked if I was on the other side of this release. And it still took 5 months and a week to sell this out and that took a lot of effort and postings by me to help push so many of us. But like I said I always knew that once people listened to the whole score they would be happy that they took the chance and bought it like yourself, which I'm very thankful you did Mike! I made no money on this project, but spent a great deal of my own to get an almost completed master, liner notes, stills etc. to Intrada so this would be as easy as possible for them. They could not have been any better to work with, not at all and I mean that completely truthfully.
I do have a hunch that once it sells out at all the other places like ScreenArchives etc. this will be a hard to find item as those that have it I think are going to be keeping them in their collections. I don't even know if I've even answered your questions Mike, lol. So much effort by so many people that hearing how much people are enjoying it, honestly makes me look back at all the work and I can say, it was ALL worth it! Happy holidays my friend

I wanted to say thank you to EVERYONE who took a chance and bought this soundtrack. Edwin and I put our money where our mouth is and I can not even begin to tell you how much work Edwin put fourth on this soundtrack so what you all got to listen to was a seamless and beautiful score. This to me was the highlight for me professionally in 2018. I can not even begin to tell you how much this meant to me and how important it was to get this into as many soundtrack fans collections as possible. Upon listening to it tonight, I'm a little misty eyed that it actually happened. HUGE thank you to everyone at Intrada and Edwin.
