I'm not sure about the single CD, but I would imagine for the big box set, well get an email with possibly a tracking number. Seems right considering the price of the big box set. Though I'm not involved in any of this, I'm just using my noodle!!

Um, maybe I'm missing something, but going by the track titles, weren't all of those tracks already released on the OSTs of their respective scores? Well, with the exception of "The Danny Elfman/Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box Suite," obviously, and the Beetlejuice "Main Title (with Elfman vocal intro)." Is the only new, substantial addendum (provided the aforementioned suite isn't of great length, as I can imagine that would sound amazing if it was), or enticement, that it's signed by Elfman?

This topic has been discussed to death and I am not going to comment further other than to list what is on the disc I got. I will say the suite (track 1) sounds like a music box version of the themes you hear on the website. It's quite lovely.

My bonus disc arrived today, and it sounds great! I got especially excited when I heard PEE WEE and BEETLEJUICE sounding so crisp and clear. This box is seriously the release of my dreams, and I'm thrilled to have a small taste of it early.
As for those of you who are disappointed with the contents... what the hell did you think was going to be on this 17th disc in the first place? It seems like they've included everything (and I mean everything) that is worth including on the other 16 discs, and even a good amount of material that isn't. What could possibly have been on this release that would have met your standards? If Elfman wrote and recorded a replacement score for ED WOOD, would that have done it?
I don't know Richard Kraft personally or anything, but I think it's really tragic that a few loud-mouth a-holes here really drove him to drink whenever he visited the board. Every time someone like him decides to participate in this board, they wind up running away screaming. It really seems like Kraft's motivation in visiting was in wanting to put together a highly inclusive release that contained a lot of the material that people would want. Now that the contents of it are public, you've got the option to either buy it or not buy it... what else is there to really say?
Does the fact that there will be more than 1000 of them change your decision on whether or not to buy it? I think it's a great thing because it means that if someone out there really wants it (and can't afford it at the moment), they might be able to somewhere down the line without paying a significant mark-up from some reseller.
As I see it, the absolute worst thing you can say about this release is that it wasn't ready at the end of December, as originally stated, but how many releases miss their projected release date? FSM's POLTERGEIST was in the hoper for a long time, but it's here now, and it's great. So what's the big problem?

I'm excited to hear Pee-Wee and Beetlejuice as someone already mentioned sounded so CRISP. I'm excited.

Er, is this partially directed at me? I thought my tone was more-or-less neutral. I just meant that the bonus disc was touted as an exclusive treat for those who pre-ordered the limited edition music box via Warner Bros., and it seems to essentially be just main titles with improved sound quality and a couple of previously unreleased tracks (if I'm wrong, let me know...I'm just going off the track listing and what others have said). It'll probably tide over most until they get their entire music boxes, which I guess was the main goal (that, and having Elfman's autograph), but I, and many others, thought that the contents would be more "remarkable" than they were, given the unforeseen delay and the promise of something special for those affected by said delay. Assumptions were made and speculation was rampant, but they weren't unwarranted given the marketing.
