Ideally, you want to sell all three to the customer, so why not sell them in a more spaced out manner? If you ask me, it's why LLL has so many titles sitting around unsold.
Where is the practical difference (customer-wise) between "a more spaced out manner" and "sitting around unsold"?
It's just hard to afford everything in one day. My checks are also divided upon my kids and their savings, my bills, etc. I can spare only so much at one given time, or week. I imagine many others are like this too, hence the "complaining" of being broke every time the market is saturated with new CDs. Again, I'm not willing to place everything on credit; that's a terrible thing to do, and it's just too bad that's what the market is catering to. Hard working people need a bit more space for these great titles, but because they are limited to so little, we miss out often times on little jewels. It's just disheartening.

Why would you miss out on First Knight? It's limited to 5000 copies, and most likely won't be sold out in 24 hours or so. Like Star Trek V, it will be around for a while. Wait until you feel you can spend the 30 bucks, and then buy it.

Jerry Goldsmith played "musical chairs" with track titles when the original album was produced, taking some of his cue titles and applying them to different music for the album. For contractual reasons, those titles had to be retained for the album presentation, but it was not possible to apply the same titles to the corresponding music on the disc 1 full score presentation because that would have created a situation where previously unreleased tracks had their titles taken away! So disc 1, the full score, has all of the original manuscript and cue sheet titles, even though some of those same titles on the original album are for different music. It's an odd "east is east and west is west" situation. Jeff Bond's notes explain the assembly of the original album and what cues the tracks on it are called on the full score.

That's interesting, thanks Mike!
I can understand why the album presentation retains the original album track titles, and it's proper that they do because that's how Goldsmith intended it.
But if disc 1 is titled according to the original manuscripts it seems a bit odd that "Never Surrender" follows "Arthur's Farewell". Is it safe to assume the following:
22. Arthur's Farewell - this is actually the big action set piece at the end (with chorus), i.e. Never Surrender
23. Never Surrender - this is actually Arthur's farewell and funeral
24. Camelot Lives - this is the end title (which I always thought was created in post, but maybe not?)
22 and 23 are clearly titled the wrong way round - is this really how they were titled on the cue sheet?
Or is it a typo in the announcement (or, heaven forbid, on the package itself)?
Thanks!

like STAR TREK V this could have easily been a GREAT single disc release.
pass on both for economic reasons and the fact that i have most of the music already

Must confess I feel the same way. At 5000 it's going to hang around for a little while, so I can budget for it. But I'd probably buy it sooner if it had been one disc and $10 cheaper. Having another copy of the original album tacked on doesn't add anything but cost for me.

My note was a heads-up intended to indicate that things are not as they seem when looking at the track list. I would have preferred to have the booklet explain it, but here's the deal: "Arthur's Farewell" is 15M2/16M1 and the album kept this title. The cue written as "Never Surrender" is 16M2 and is called "Camelot Lives" on the album. The cue actually called "Camelot Lives" is 16M3 and was called "Promise Me" on the album. That should clarify the dilemma we were faced with and why it ended up the way it did. The score is in the correct order.
