Hi MV-LLL

May I inquire to about when sleeping with the enemy might be back in your super awesome label?

Does anyone know the status of Sleeping with the Enemy? It appears that it has been "temporarily out of stock" for more than a couple of years. I watched the movie again recently and was hopeful that copies were still available.

I actually e-mailed them about this about 3 weeks ago, I'm sure they wouldn't mind me copying their reply here:

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry. SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY will be returning in stock, but it's likely a couple months out. Thank you for your patience.

Best,
La-La Land Records

Damn fine score. "The Ring" was used in so many trailers back then including "The Vanishing"

I was looking on eBay, but I can wait until the director's chair and megaphone have it back.

I see that Sleeping With The Enemy is "almost" back in stock at LLL. Apparenty they received defective discs from the plant and they had to be repressed.

Dare I ask - has the glitch at the very end of track 11 ("The Ring") been fixed since the very first pressing? There are a couple of clicks/pops right at the end - just on the transition into track 12 - that aren't present on the Sony disc and are really annoying (I tried two copies at point of purchase, both the same).

No glitches here, but thanks for reminding me to listen to this awesome score.
"Morning on the Beach", "The Funeral" and "The Ring" are three of my all-time favorite cues and they work really well in the film.

So good. The love theme from Forever Young is also great, particularly in the strings.

Then can you do me a big favour and listen to the last 10 seconds of The Ring again - and the first 5 seconds of the next track - and listen out for some weirdness as the tracks change. A number of clicks close together. Something that definitely shouldn't be there. Thanks!

I'm not making this up. I've heard this defect on two separate copies.

Also, did you get your copy when it was first released?

I wondered why it has taken so long for me to receive my copy of Sleeping with the Enemy. Am glad they caught it and fixed it( I hope)

OK I finally checked mine. First, didn't hear it. Rewound, put my ear to the speaker like the RCA dog, turned volume all the way up. ..and barely hear 2 clicks. Maybe next time I play this on headphones it will be more pronounced, but really...dude, bigger fish. Never would have caught it otherwise, bought my copy fairly early upon release.

The clicks are perfectly audible (and irritating) at normal listening levels on my hi-fi system. No cranking required. All you have to be doing is listening. It's reassuring that someone else has heard it at least. Thank you for checking.

I'm very surprised LLL hasn't fixed it (to my knowledge)

It does mean holding onto the Sony CD for a clean version of this track :-(

Your welcome & I didn't mean to be flip in my answer, I just really had to listen to catch it - perhaps they did fix it and some are louder than others?? Who knows.
At least it will probably get a reissue eventually, so just hang on a few more years?
Great score, Enemy, I'm glad others like it too. It was probably I slagged back in FSM print. I got this one in the beginning of my own Jerry-Mania - maybe it was better to start on the lower end of the totem & work back to Chinatown /Blue Max/Sand Pebbles, etc?

From Jeff's 2-point* review in the Buyer's Guide (March 1999 issue):

"This score for the Julia Roberts romantic thriller features
one of Goldsmith’s better contemporary love
themes and some nicely done, percussive suspense
sequences. The best Goldsmith touches come from a
chilling, metallic breathing sound for Roberts’s domineering
husband. (Yes, this is technically a ‘90s score.)"

I think it's not until 1982-83 (the buyer's guide goes backward through time) that we get to a series of 4-point scores (Under Fire, TZ: The Movie and Poltergeist).

*Recommended with reservations. A score that
achieves its goals within the movie but makes for
less-than-gripping listening in album form

See, slagged! ;-)
I still think it's a riot Bond ended up doing liners for many of the 90's Goldsmith he used to diss...

Just like Matinee, which is really the one I joined the fray on...no idea what all this Omen/Blue Max good - Matinee bad talk was....

The good old naive days...
