Only thing missing, the 1960's "Batman" scores.

That STAS 4-CD set is indeed a stunner, but it's a tough market out there for the small soundtrack niche
I'm sure it has been discussed before, but I don't understand why it is difficult to sell out a run of 3,000 (or even 5,000) CDs. I understand that digital and streaming are having a significant impact to the amount of actual CDs that are sold each year, but how can there not be 3,000 customers in the entire world to snatch up this great music? Is it due to limited advertising or something else? I mean, are there really not 1,500 people out of 7 billion potential customers in the world who wouldn't commit to buying a 10cd box set of the complete score to the Love Boat??

It's a REALLY small market. The vast majority of people who like film music enough to pay attention and/or listen to it would never think to purchase it to own, save for a handful of their favorites. The first Batman: TAS set was something of an oddity, I think, in that it was HIGHLY desired by a whole generation of us who grew up on that show AND it came in that magic period in the early 2000's when shit would sell out fast, prompting a frenzy of more shit selling out fast, and so on until the market became saturated and hot sellers started being released a second time, which took away the gotta have it now mentality. Hell, I think I still have a sealed copy after I gave a few away to some of the guys who played on it (who hadn't a clue it had been released by the way!). I, for one, intend to keep ordering Walker et al scores as long as my pocketbook allows, but I suspect I'm in the minority to prefer this over yet another Goldsmith expansion of an expansion of an original album that was the bastard son of an aborted fetus of an idea that he once had while having a really satisfying bowel movement.
