Seriously.

I would love to be able to hear this score, but not at the ridiculous asking price displayed above and elsewhere on the secondary market. Surely there has to be more than 550 fans wanting to hear this score.

One of the most unnecessarily expensive soundtracks I've seen... a reissue would at least make this more readily available, not to mention at a lower price.

If there's one title that NEEDS a re-release, this is it.

Cost me about $250 on Ebay from seller CONRAD THE BEAR.

I don't know why it was limited it to just 550 copies.

Wonderful score!

$250 is still way too much...

I don't recall ever paying more than $60 or $70 for any one score.

Thank you for the sound clip, though; it's very nice.

CONRAD has the highest prices on eBay. I NEVER buy from him and thank goodness. He wanted around $200 for Francis Lai's THE BABYSITTER and luckily I waited and got it reissued with a bonus track.

Sometimes it pays to wait.

Since Delerue is my absolute favorite composer and I wasn't going to find it any cheaper, so I had no choice.

Since this is a french film, I don't see how an American label can reissue this.

He was actually asking more but I managed to bring the price down. CONRAD is a good seller though; I received my copy within three days for the standard shipping rate.

Not bad for someone located in Japan.

I got nervous that I didn't have this, but then I checked and I do. I can see that I got it at Amoeba, and I really don't think it was more than thirty bucks. I think I got it there in the last year or so.

As far as I remember, this release was so limited because it was licenced only for US and Canada.

Anyway, while you are at it, please reissue also LE COMPLOT, LA REINE BLANCHE and LONELY PASSION OF JUDITH HEARNE frown

The 2-cd just for Canada, to be exact. There has been a volume 1 and volume 2 release in France, but even those aren't cheap. I'd welcome a rerelease!

I would always love more Delerue. Especially when the original is so out of my price range.

How about a reissue of "A Summer Story" ?

This is a very good score, and Conrad the Bear is a very good guy. Delerue was a very good composer. That is all.

An excellent composer.

Delerue CDs missing from my collection because I can't find them:

La Reine Blanche

Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

Le Complot/To Kill a Priest

Though I do have the LPs for all these scores.

Has anyone ever seen the series THE FRENCH REVOLUTION? As far as I know it's never been available on VHS/DVD and of course Blu-ray. The music is good especially disc one. However, it is not Delerue's best.

I saw the series on Youtube and it looks like has been taken from television broadcasts.

It was released on VHS and is available on DVD, however, only in French and with no subtitles. Apparently it was filmed in both English and French. The English version was shown on the Canadian CTV network and I taped it. It took me a little while to warm up to it; Part II is really depressing, both the film and score.

From what I gather Music Box Records is working on this:

http://www.underscores.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2574&sid=5611d8f5846c5390c399233af28c7934&p=87673#p87673

I hope they can release every bit of music that Delerue (possible alternates/unused music) wrote and improve on the sound quality since the DCM release was mastered much too loud.

I'm one of those 550 people or the number 551 would like to see published at a reasonable price this excellent soundtrack Delerue teacher. One day I was tempted to buy it on ebay, but the price was totally outrageous to me and still more so now because I'm unemployed. I have the hope that those responsible for MUSIC BOX, the re-edit, as Georges Delerue, is the favorite composer of this label.

Here's hoping the possible re-release is definitive and with enough copies to go around.
