This isnt the first Barry/Bennett twofer released. Im pretty sure I have a cd with 'Ipcress' and a Bennett score that I cant remember now at home.
That one was a bootleg, I'm afraid to say.
So this is still the first official one.
Cheers

I also think being a twofer helps, because although "The Whisperers" is the headliner for me, the one I want this CD for, I already had it. Now, I could justify buying this disc on the better sound and lack of dialogue,and probably would have, but the fact there's another score that's new to me just seals it. It makes it all the more justifiable to partake.
Others who are in it for Equus primarily might think the same in reverse.
Cheers

Btw, can Bruce elaborate on why/how he sees particular titles more eligible for two-fer treatment than others?
tentative reason 1: no available bonus/unreleased material?
It depends on the scores and whether I think there's enough sales in doing them separately - certainly I'd make more money that way. So, I do research and based on that I decide. If, for example, one of the scores is super short then I pair it if it's possible (it isn't always possible for various reasons). In pairing, I also try to do two scores that make sense together musically - so even though The Whisperers and Equus are very different films by very different composers, for me they a) work together and b) the capper and point was they were two previous CD releases that had dialogue.
On the other hand, I knew I'd be fine not pairing A Bridge Too Far because I simply looked at the money used copies were bringing, and I also talked to a few dealers. And because we've occasionally had to do thirty minute single CDs, I occasionally just do it for the value of it - I certainly could have charged 24.98 or 29.98 for the two-CD One-Eyed Jacks, but I will always try to give a bargain to make up for times when it's impossible to do so.
But if you look at any of our CDs with two scores, the scores usually have a reason to be together.

I love your twofers! No matter how specious the reason for pairing two scores (or how tenuous the connection between them), please continue to produce such marvellous CDs!

We've got at least a couple more two-fers coming, I think.

How did this end up on page two? We simply cannot have that.
Meanwhile, A Bridge Too Far is shipping in the morning.
