Great release this one and a shame it couldn't have hung around longer - but I guess if noone was buying it then Intrada can only decide that there is no more interest in it. Two great, but quite different scores and is a good example of how different composers approach films differently. Not often you get to compare that in one release.
Never mind about earlier post. I do look forward to getting this score - Poledouris is one of my favorite composers, and I'm intrigued by the early Zimmer score. Thanks Intrada!
did this go oop because it failed to sell or because it sold out (3000 copies)? if the former, SHAME ON YOU! This is a film SCORE of the quality of CONAN.
I just barely made it with an order from Moviemusic. I was thinking of waiting until the morning but good thing I didn't.
I am sooo bummed I missed this. It just came out earlier this year right? That does not seem like a very big window to buy. I was expecting it to be available for at least a year. =(

I guess it didn't sell well anymore. Intrada said from the very beginning when they started this new business model that a title stays in print as long as quantity and interest remain.

Sorry to those that missed it, but it was around for 9 months. That is better than if they would have said it was a 2000 copy edition, it would have been around for 3-4 days.
I'm just bummed that they didn't give ample warning time that it was selling out. I didn't even know they put it up on the home page, but someone over at JWFan said they did, and then it was gone a day later.
I rely on these to pick up scores I can't immediately grab. The great part about it is that it lets me prioritize my spending. I really wanted to get this one.
Sold out way too fast...they could have said that quantities were low on it. But that's the way it works. I'm miffed that I missed it, but it's my own fault, not Intrada's.
So many people who missed it. I didn't, but Intrada should proove, that their slogan "available while quantities and interest remains" is not an empty words... It's obviously "interest remains"

I think that's exactly what they did. They make an announcement a title's going out of print, and only the limited selection that's already been printed is available. Sometimes the remaining copies sell out in hours, and sometimes they don't even sell all the copies before it becomes OOP.
It has been available for a good 9 months. Their "new" policy only means that you don't have to buy within hours/days of a title becoming available. It doesn't mean you can guarantee that it will still be around months/years after release.
I think there was another title which seemed to go OOP rather quickly and people here were querying why Intrada never said anything. In a thread over on the Intrada forums it turned out that they did post a "going out of print" notice and within hours all remaining copies had gone.
With Intrada - if it's a title you would like maybe you should treat it as if it might only be available for a month or two and plan your purchases around that instead of leaving it too long and risk missing out. I know that with all the other limited titles coming out recently for other labels there are some Intrada titles I haven't yet picked up as I know I have a bit of time. However they will be purchased sooner rather than later.
