And as for watching Advise & Consent, good for you son! Ironically, I'm not a huge fan of the film (I did enjoy it), but pseudonym just happened to fitting (in ways totally unrelated to the film itself). Also, you just gotta love that Saul Bass artwork. 
At least the movie looks good (in widescreen). Coincidentally, another film with a blustery southern senator exchanging the same kind rhetoric, and Saul Bass credits (according to Frankenheimer commentary), is "7 Days in May."
Meanwhile, USPS tracking says my Twilight Zone cds are Burbank?! I thought that was some fictional city in old sitcom credits.
Yes. On the other hand, I very much enjoyed Seven Days in May (not to mention that FAB score by Jerry - Goldsmith that is).
Sorry to hear about your shipping misfortune, but I have to say that I'm absolutely delighted at how quickly my package actually got here (in Canada).

I just got my signed copy from Creature Features. In light of some very negative comments made about buying from this store by some others on this board, I need to give my story -
Arrived in the UK within one week (I might have been lucky!)
It was very robustly packaged (so it arrived in perfect condition)
Communication by email was very good (prompt reply to my 1 question)
Postage charge was very reasonable (actually cheaper than anywhere else)
I got mine today. I can't fault Creature Features. 2 weeks to the UK, reasonable charge, signed, etc. But... big sigh....
I have a faulty set. I could practically cry. And the kicker is, it's disc two, the Safan disc. It doesn't play, and there's a nasty scratch on it which would explain it. Now, I didn't examine it before putting it in the player (which recognises it, just can't play it), but Disc 3 has a similar scratch starting from the same place but not reaching the main body of the disc. Something has gone awry at the pressing plant.
I wanted so much for this to be the smoothest purchase ever and for Intrada to make a million bucks without a single hitch, so a downer in every direction.
I'm sure I'll be a one-off.
It's a helluva disc one, all the same. No one remotely interested in Christopher Young or especially Basil Poledouris can afford not to own this for disc one alone.

Sorry to hear about that happening with your holiest of holy grails. I'm sure if you email the great guys at Intrada they'll mail you replacement discs 2 & 3 post haste!

Sorry to hear that, I've only played Disc 1 up to now. Just now, I did have great difficulty getting Disc 2 out of the box. It was so firmly locked in I thought the disc itself was going to snap in half. Not the best CD box I've ever had, but it's OK now I've worked the disc loose. Why not try if Intrada can help?

Why are you wasting time posting here in the first place?
All you have to do is email both CREATURES FEATURES and INTRADA directly, explain to them that you have a defective disc and request a replacement be sent to you.
You already have the email for CREATURES FEATURES, Intraday's email is
INTRADA@INTRADA.COM
I'm fairly certain they one or both will address the issue very quickly.
How you contacted either of them yet?

on a slight tangent, can you figure out which autograph scrawls go with whom?
Alan Brennert is the one that begins with an 'A', probably at the top left, Craig Safan is probably signed sideways up the right, with a distinctive C, and the tiny squiggle in the middle is Dennis McCarthy. William Goldstein was reportedly in attendance but doesn't appear to have signed them (certainly not the one I got).
Thanks for posting. Looks like mine, so I guess they had a system. I thought the "A...B" one was probably Alan, but the more you look at it, the less legible it becomes. I wasnt sure if Craig was there so I didnt know if he was a possibility. The squiggle looks like the old Star Trek uniform insignia, so sorta makes sense for Dennis.

Ford, only you could ask why someone is wasting time and then repeat the last five posts. Please don't pollute yet another thread.
Why even post in the first place.
If you had just emailed INTRADA in the first place and asked them for a replacement in the first place, you would have the disc on it's way to you by now.
That's the POINT.

Ford, please no more moronic posts. Clearly, the POINT (scary emphasis there) is beyond you. Rather than put things in caps in another outing for your tired Master of the Universe act, why not learn the difference between ITS and IT'S and we can all pretend that your behaviour and use of English only match by co-incidence and that you did in fact graduate third grade.
Let me spell it out for you... I have posted about Disc 2 (the Safan disc) of this set non-stop. Check. I started the first of several threads asking about it 16 YEARS AGO. And I've brought it up in other threads if it is at all related in the 1.5+ decade inbetween.
Considering where I ordered from and my stated location, if I had banged on about this and suddenly stayed silent at the moment UK buyers had confirmed the big drop, that might have seemed odd in itself. Like I'd dropped dead, or hated it so much I couldn't even muster a post. Instead, I thought this surreal turn of events was worth mentioning, without bad mouthing any establishment involved, in fact going out of my way not to.
But thanks for your 'novel idea' of contacting the company. Genius. Now, why don't you go and buy a puppy that might give you the love and attention you so desperately need and leave this thread alone.

Posting about a defective album on a thread for that very release? Especially when some people haven't got their copies yet and might get one themselves (very small chance, but it could happen)? Forewarned is forearmed.
Rubbish.
He got a scratched CD, it happens.
An email to the label would have solved the problem.

Jeez. I keep wanting to come in here and post about this cool release and how it's getting me to watch the old show and actually enjoy it more than a lot of recent tv I've seen. But as usual here on the FSM frontier, there is so much off-topic bitching and counter bitching that I just lose heart and lose interest.
There. You all keep complaining. Now I've got mine in.
