wow, Since this isnt a complete Herrmann box, I wonder why they included so many non-expanded scores which we Herrmann collectors will already have - Blue Denim, Egyptian, Anna & King, Journey to Center Earth, Day Earth Stood Still. I'm sure they've all been remastered (I think they were released about ten years ago), I bet they sound a lot better now.

Awesome. Can't afford it. Somewhere Benny is conducting the world's smallest violin.

I'm not the Herrmann connoisseur that many here are, but I'm bummed about missing a more complete Journey to the Center of the Earth. Knowing that somewhere Thor is spitting at me, I'm going to go enjoy the wonderful CD I already have.

Awesome. Can't afford it. Somewhere Benny is conducting the world's smallest violin. Haha, same here. First time I can remember passing on a release I truly want, but I just can't justify this one. Oh well. Hopefully we'll see some of these beauts released individually in the coming months.

A very nice release indeed. And if I wouldn`t have many of the scores that are included in the box already and if I wouldn`t be quite happy with the sound (except for BENEATH THE 12-MILE REEF of course) I would have bought it. But $ 200,- plus shipping) for a couple of tracks that I don`t have yet is way too much for me. But I am happy of course for everyone who likes it.

I've had a chance to think about this release and its importance to me personally. It truly is one of the most stunning presentations of music (classical, pop, soundtrack or whatever) released in my lifetime.

I wish this set did follow the same format, but the description says, "seven double CD slim line jewel boxes". Double slimline boxes??? FSM established the standard of using clamshell cases. Why is Varese constantly innovating crappier ways to package their CDs? Could it be that they want to save space for a 100 pages book? I am happy with CD slim jewel boxes. Best

I keep hearing the same thing - "I already own these." No, you don't. Many are remastered and expanded, and worth upgrading. How come people didn't holler about this sort of thing with Great Train Robbery, Explorers, Robocop, Die Hard, Commando, Predator, Great Escape, etc.? They, too, we're once released but then included expanded and remastered versions (some very minor changes at times) that everyone was excited about. Face it, it's the price, not the content people are fussing over.

I just had a chance to listen to a couple of the sample tracks. "White Witch Doctor" sounds like it will be utterly amazing. I was surprised that "Hangover Square" sounds so good even in the lossy samples.
