Hey,

Does anyone here know if there was a screw-up with all of the linear notes for RCA's Spellbound the Classic Film Scores of Miklos Rozsa cd (NPO: Charles Gerhardt) release? The linear notes, I have, do not even mention Miklos Rozsa...

What do you mean? Mine look normal, and certainly mention Rozsa. What does yours talk about?

The front and back cover (pic's of a couple embracing and skiing) looks fine, but inside the linear notes talk exclusively about some guy name Buddy Guy (pp 3-18). It starts out with "THE BEST MEASURE of Buddy Guy's talents as a bluesman could well be the fact that he's been presiding over the most distinquished fan club of musical peers for a full-quater century now. Just consider how the cream of the rock guitar pantheon- from Messrs. Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck to the late Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan- have repeatedly gone on record to lionize Buddy Guy as thier favorite..."


Unfourtunately, Buddy Guy isn't my favorite...but Rozsa is one of my favorites. I'll have to try to get a refund/exchange. Thanks for the error verification.

I've checked my booklet. Everything is as it should be, liner notes about the music featured on this release. It seems you need another booklet.

Sounds like you're trapped in a bizarre Salvador Dali-style nightmare, Rexor!

Never heard of anything like that before... I wouldn't exchange it if I were you. Sounds like a collector's item. You could get a fortune for it on eBay.

I loathe collector items. I'm just not into the collector's mindset (even though I could use the cash)... Who cares if something defective becomes a collectible? If your not going to use it, what's the point in just hoarding it for storage in hopes that you'll recieve money for it one day?

This "collectible" mindset is good for business but it is disturbing. Look at some of the collectible soundtracks. What's the point in paying tons of money for something if you can't even use it for fear of depreciating the value of the item? For me a lot of collectibles (defective or not) just aren't worth it.


Speaking of Collectibles, let's devise a film score collectible list to see if things are really worth what they fetch

1. Dragonslayer- North (How is this?)

2. I'm drawing a blank ...

Dragonslayer is an excellent score. North's music is bold and aggressive, and sounds totally unique within the genre.

If you've heard the Jerry Goldsmith recording of 2001, the music is very similar because North drew a lot of ideas for Dragonslayer from his 2001 score (they actually make a great double bill). There are some really intense moments, including a standout fight cue "Tyrian and Galen Battle."

I have the Southern Cross gold CD, which has some sort of digital overload in some tracks. That's really a shame because the sound quality of the recording is very crisp otherwise.

A lot of agreivation on THIS particular score vis-a vie collectables- advertised REPEATEDLY as a once and a life time release, only to become it's issuer's "Cash Cow" as many times as issued- "OH, WHAT A LIE---"

This is hilarious, as I got the same CD with the same faulty booklet just a day after you! big grin

Did you buy it off Amazon's marketplace, too?

One of these days I must ask one of you to scan the missing from this booklet...after I've gone back and written down exactly which pages from the booklet are unprinted.

Morning, all...

Well, I've looked up the booklet pages that are unprinted in the copy I have: 3, 6, 15 and 18.

In case you don't believe me:

Would somebody of you be so kind and scan these four pages and send them to me?

Many thanks in advance,
Christian (not promising a video showing how he glues the missing pages into the booklet...)

There were some rare hicups with the RCA series. I got one Steiners while the CD and everything looked ok, it contained some big band jazz wink

Well, nine years later, I'm still with an incomplete booklet for this one, therefore I'm repeating my query from early 2008:

Morning, all...

I've looked up the booklet pages that are unprinted in the copy I have: 3, 6, 15 and 18.

Would somebody of you be so kind and scan these four pages and send them to me or put them up here so I can type them up and print them into the booklet?

Many thanks in advance,
CK
