It's not even mentioned as one of the extras on the case.    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 5:30 AM     By:   Mose Harper   (Member) A head's up for anyone who was wanting the soundtrack but not wanting to pay a collector's price for it- Grindhouse Releasing's earlier Bd/DVD combo release has gone out of print, but they have a new release- limited to 2000 units - which contains the earlier combo + a standalone CD of the soundtrack. https://shop.grindhousereleasing.com/products/the-swimmer-1968-3-disc-blu-ray-set-embossed-slipcover-soundtrack It went on sale three days ago and it looks like they've already sold close to half the run.    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 11:33 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) A head's up for anyone who was wanting the soundtrack but not wanting to pay a collector's price for it- Grindhouse Releasing's earlier Bd/DVD combo release has gone out of print, but they have a new release- limited to 2000 units - which contains the earlier combo + a standalone CD of the soundtrack. https://shop.grindhousereleasing.com/products/the-swimmer-1968-3-disc-blu-ray-set-embossed-slipcover-soundtrack It went on sale three days ago and it looks like they've already sold close to half the run. Thanks for the heads up! This is a great deal if you want both the film and soundtrack.    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 11:41 AM     By:   Big X   (Member) A head's up for anyone who was wanting the soundtrack but not wanting to pay a collector's price for it- Grindhouse Releasing's earlier Bd/DVD combo release has gone out of print, but they have a new release- limited to 2000 units - which contains the earlier combo + a standalone CD of the soundtrack. https://shop.grindhousereleasing.com/products/the-swimmer-1968-3-disc-blu-ray-set-embossed-slipcover-soundtrack It went on sale three days ago and it looks like they've already sold close to half the run.

Thanks, Henry, I did not notice that. Still hoping one of the labels will reissue this sometime in the future!    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 12:20 PM     By:   henry   (Member) But the FSM cd contains more music than this new cd.

But, the new cd is remastered!    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 12:54 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Is the Grindhouse CD perhaps the original LP, which FSM expanded for its release?    Posted:   Jul 14, 2020 - 10:17 PM     By:   JB Fan   (Member) According to track-list, it's original 29 min. album, not FSM complete (35 min.) one.    Posted:   Jul 15, 2020 - 1:20 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Ah so. Thanks.    Posted:   Jul 15, 2020 - 1:30 PM     By:   Preston Neal Jones   (Member) Incidentally, since this thread has been recently revived, I should mention what I believe I've mentioned on another thread, that I participated in a podcast about THE SWIMMER which I think some of you may find enlightening, in part because I refer to (and sometimes correct) the BluRay documentary. https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-projection-booth/e/51284023    Posted:   Jul 15, 2020 - 5:23 PM     By:   Mose Harper   (Member) My apologies, guys. I didn't realize the FSM at 35 minutes was an expansion. I knew it was a short program and this one looked similarly short, but I didn't vet it beyond that. Still a nice bonus if you lack the more complete FSM, not to mention the film itself. But sorry to get anyone's hopes up.    Posted:   Jul 15, 2020 - 6:03 PM     By:   Grecchus   (Member) Ah, don't worry about it, Mose. It's just a Thor point.    Posted:   Jul 15, 2020 - 6:07 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) My apologies, guys. I didn't realize the FSM at 35 minutes was an expansion.

But sorry to get anyone's hopes up. I'll just buy the Blu Ray set with the album program. I'm sure someone will sell me the missing 6 minutes of music for 1/6 of the going cost of the out-of-print expansion.    Posted:   Aug 1, 2020 - 3:56 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) A head's up for anyone who was wanting the soundtrack but not wanting to pay a collector's price for it - Grindhouse Releasing's earlier Bd/DVD combo release has gone out of print, but they have a new release- limited to 2000 units - which contains the earlier combo + a standalone CD of the soundtrack. https://shop.grindhousereleasing.com/products/the-swimmer-1968-3-disc-blu-ray-set-embossed-slipcover-soundtrack It went on sale three days ago and it looks like they've already sold close to half the run.

Greg Espinoza    Posted:   Aug 21, 2020 - 6:08 PM     By:   riotengine   (Member) Got this notification today. Very interesting. "We want to thank you for your continued support over the years. You are receiving this email because you pre-ordered THE SWIMMER (1968) 3 DISC LIMITED EDITION. Unfortunately, our manufacturer has informed us that the supply of ‘Criterion’ style cases that we use for our deluxe Blu-ray releases has been depleted in North America. We were able to order the last remaining cases through a supply company; these should be received by our manufacturer in the coming weeks. The finished release is now expected to ship to you early September. We apologize for the delay, but ensure you the wait will be well worth it!"

Boom-tish!    Posted:   Nov 1, 2020 - 8:54 AM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) The movie/soundtrack bundle arrived recently and I am now listening to the soundtrack. I have seen the film only once, so I look forward to watching it again. I have a feeling this score will be a real favorite of mine.    Posted:   Nov 14, 2020 - 6:30 PM     By:   ZardozSpeaks   (Member) Looking forward to Preston's book on The Swimmer. Hopefully the typesetter will not follow the ee cummings style that Preston has dazzled us with here. This dazzling style? mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj    Posted:   Nov 16, 2020 - 1:01 PM     By:   roy phillippe   (Member) I agree with you Zelig. But you didn't even mention the man who's made you happy - Marvin Hamlisch. Well, as Henry Mancini once said, "Did they mention the music?" And I did. Marvin Hamlisch composed a masterwork his first time "at bat"! This thread has 199 views...c'mon people, comment! Orchestrations by Leo Shuken and Jack Hayes helped considerably. Jack Hayes conducted. I have the LP which Jack signed for me.     General Discussion: FSM CD: The Swimmer    << < 2 3 4 5 6  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6
