Ordered direct from Varese - can't wait to get it!

At this price we run the risk of the hated import charge ... VAT and the Royal Mail's handling charge. I'm very reluctant to buy anything from outside the EU which costs more than GBP15.00 and whilst this release - USD20.00 - should scrape under the GBP15.00 limit it may depend upon what the retailer writes on the customs' declaration. SAE usually set USD5.00 per CD ... I don't know what VS's policy is.

see: http://customs.hmrc.gov.uk/channelsPortalWebApp/channelsPortalWebApp.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=pageOnlineServices_ShowContent&id=HMCE_CL_000014&propertyType=document#P20_1804 para 2.3

So it's not surprising our EU retailers do charge more than the US advertised prices.

Perhaps DrivingMissDaisy would be able to tell us. I know that when SAE/Intrada/LLL have shipped parcels to me in the UK that they usually write a small dollar amount per CD on the custom declaration. So an order of 3 CDs would be anything from 3 to 9 dollars, thereby escaping the horrific '£15 and over' custom charge. Can you assist, DMD? smile

I do wonder if people realize it's technically illegal to declare a false price on shipments to get around customs?

Samples are quite lovely. Goes on my "to buy" list. I wish other labels had samples this long. It really helps hearing the progression of a theme which you can't get in 30 or 60 second sound bytes.

Just ordered direct from Varese together with Fedora (Rosza)

Colosseum seems hopelessly expensive.


Same for me! So pleased about this release. I love the short amount of score on the old album and am really looking forward to hearing the rest of it (I saw the film years ago but don't remember it now).

Please give us at Varèse at least two weeks before inquiring on if your order has shipped, when will it ship or how come it hasn't shipped! You'll get an email notification WHEN your awesome order ships. We want to spend as much time packing these babies up and shipping them as opposed to sitting at the computer. smile

Awesome release.


Indeed! Was hoping we'd one day see an expanded version of this lovely score from Barry and that day has arrived! smile

Beside the Bond scores I'm not really that familiar with Barry.

Wow, do you have some catching up to do! My all-time favourite film composer, I can't imagine my collection not including Barry's wondrous scores from FRANCES, CHAPLIN, and KING KONG!

DMD, any chance you could say how fast this is selling? Are you likely to still have copies in a few weeks? Just trying to spread the funds out a bit.

When we get below 300 on a title well post it on the appropriate title. You are safe for the time being smile

So glad folks are receiving it. Out of the clubs this time this one is my favorite! I can't stop playing it. Some of Barry's most gorgeous music.
