I suppose I'll have to live with the Rhino release.
It's not as if the Rhino release is no good, though is it.
I've got that, the Decca re-recording on Vocalion, the re-recorded suite on DRG. I love this score but I might make do with what I've got. Haven't decided yet.
Cheers

"Judah-Ben Hur! You've come back to us like a returning faith!"
Was just watching the amazing blu ray last night.
Of course, Pre-Ordered!

To answer a question: no, we will not be repressing this after the 2000 copies sell out. We have, I think more than any of the other labels, tried to press our titles in sufficient quantities and as a result have over-pressed more often than not...and we're sitting on stock that costs money to store.
I think that a title this high-profile would be re-licensed to another label so as not to go off the market. But that's not something I have any control over.

Fair enough... And I respect the honesty.

Even at $60 this definitive 5 disc set really comes off as a steal when compared with the shorter Lord of the Rings complete releases (around $80) and ESPECIALLY when compared with Varese's release of a famous epic from a few years later: Spartacus! $110 for a single score! Lukas has practically cut that price in half for a comparatively definitive release of IMO even better music.

Ferro, you may very well be right, and the popularity of Ben-Hur itself drives sales beyond the usual (I hope so)—but we've had a consistent experience with Rozsa that there are around 1200 die hards worldwide, after which the sales fall of a cliff. We'll see what happens!

With all due respect, 2000 copies only for a fabulous, legendary composition like this one sounds just ridiculous. Also consider that the (old) deluxe edition is out of print.
