But in my order status it states "This product cannot be reordered because it's out of stock." so I may have gotten one of the last copies in stock.

Seems that way, because the release is indeed now completely disappeared from the site and the links don't work. I immediately placed the order for Top Gun before THAT one is also sold out! This release came out of the blue to me. I do subscribe to the newsletter, but by the time it arrived, it was too late to get an autographed copy.

A bit peeved that there was no real advance warning to fans, but I'm also extremely glad to see it's selling. As a huge fan of eighties and nineties synth scores, I'm always hoping these releases sell well, so labels would release gems from composers like Sylvester Levay. Some of my personal "holy grails" are the TV scores and Cobra by Levay, Dark Angel/I Come In Peace by Jan Hammer, Trevor Rabin's The Glimmer Man, Howard's Marked for Death, and the massive catalogue of unreleased scores by all composers of Miami Vice. I was hoping the recent Blu-ray of Blue Steel would've had Brad Fiedel's score as an isolated track, but no such luck.

I guess Cobra is the likeliest of those to happen at some point (current work by Zimmer/Balfe/Tyler/others is a disease, Levay's Cobra is the cure!), but I'm not holding my breath. I'm just happy about this release, because it's rare that us synth fans get a treat like this. It also seems La-La-Land really put effort into this, and based on him doing autographs, I assume Faltermeyer was on board and co-operative. Good stuff, and certainly worth every penny (yeah, had to pay over $20 for int'l shipping, but still).

Didn't even look at the track details until I finished the transaction. My comment to my colleague was "Now I should probably find out what I just bought".

Ha, ha: me too! Finished work, scrolled through my personal e-mail, saw one entitled ""LLL presents", opened it, whooped, jumped up, whooped again, scared the dog, whooped again and ordered.
Am dead chuffed to see they've included "Radar Radio": hands-down my favourite song from the film that I only have as a low-bitrate vinyl rip.

Nearly two years waiting for this soundtrack since the mural of an F-14 was teased. I didn't know anything was released today until two hours after it hit the store page since I was working. Those autographs are long since gone.

Ordered, but man La-La Land. This is the first time I've felt disappointed in a while.

Samples sound great! Can't believe it took this many years for the score to be released.

Mine is 293849, email confirmation was 5:11pm GMT. After I ordered the website still said they were available. I checked at 5:16 and the red autograph text had disappeared.

Little bummed. The email didn't arrive until more than 2 hours after it had been up for sale so I for sure missed out on an autograph even though I saw it on Instagram a little earlier than that.

Still ordered immediately though. Excited this is finally getting released.

My good I read the track list of Octopussy...
"Death of Vijay", "End Of General Orlov", "Death Of Grischka" and "Kamal Khan's Death And Finale"... it seems at least Gobinda will end the movie alive.
