I call myself a true film score fan, though I know little about Rozsa, so this HUGE box set is a blessing for folks like me who want to dive in to his composing pool and do some discovering. I'm quite excited for this release of material I know little to nothing about.

I still wish Quo Vadis could be released on its own for those not in position to get a Rosza collection.

Therefore, you are wrong.

I'm very happy that you will release this great Rozsa-Box, but I didn't understand why you put so a lot of FSM-Releases in the box which are still available?
I miss music like The Killers, Brutal Force and Naked City or some music of Sodom and Gomorrah. Why is it necessary to put King of Kings two times...
FSM are limited to Rozsa's MGM period, and have no access to the Universal material.
'King of Kings' is not twice, but the old MGM Rome album remastered properly from the source tapes. The previous EMI UK release was only a spread mono affair.
Sodom and Gomorrah' is available from Digitmovies CDs in Italy, but I think is sold out. It's available on download sites legit though.
Some of the albums in the box-set are legit expanded releases that only previously had bootleg or Europe-only legit issues.

$180 bucks, huh? Well, let's see.
If I cut my heart meds back from three to one a day, skip lunches for the next two months, switch from gasoline to left over Brylcream for the car, I think I can just make it.
COUNT ME IN!!

Are you mad, McCrum? Get your facts right, you PONCE.
According to Frank DeWald the longtime Rozsa authority (as in the Tadlow 'Cid' notes and many articles etc. and the online notes here) the 'King of Kings' Rome CD will be taken not from the old LP master tapes which no longer exist, but from excellent reel-to-reel copies of those elements, and it sounds brilliant. Some of the re-issued albums in this box apparently sound better then ever before.
That's what FSM are noted for. Looks like a helluva package.
For the guy above who only just discovered the Rhino 'Ivanhoe', make a quick jaunt to the Miklos Rozsa Society pages. There's a complete discography on there for pdf and other formats compiled by Frank and Doug Raynes. Listen to the many samples too, including said Frank's choral performances of Rozsa's vocal works, and many interviews with Rozsa.

And thanks, Jeff, for posting the nine musically-notated figures in my notes in the King of Kings (Rhino) link. They weren't there last night when I first saw the newly activated link, and I was afraid that, without them, my discussion of the inter-relationship of the nine themes/motives would be difficult for most readers to follow.

Yeah, I goofed and forgot to upload the images initially, but hope everything looks OK now.
