...Onya Barri making fun of us is just proving to me that I maybe right...
I was just kidding, in hopes of an update. I have wanted this album on CD for a very long time. I guess I'll have to be content with my LP.
A gal can dream...
Thanks for clarifying, tone is a weird thing to read sometimes on a message board. I can say this...if we can still do it, we may do it. It's up to my investors (yes, NFN has investors) and if they are down, it could still happen. It's just not a cheap proposition. We paid for mastering but we still will need to pay upwards of 8K to get it finished and manufactured.
My fear is this...what do we charge on the site for this? Do we go cheap to entice fans (yet not a guarantee of anything) or go $19.98 to get as much from the fans who want it? If we do that nobody on the fence will buy. I hope you see our dilemma.
I made this deal when I started the label. I work with other labels as you may or may not know and pitched it to a couple of them. No interest in my vision for it (putting it with TV Guide which has never been on CD) as 2-fer albums cost more per unit. The film geek in me loves putting out the cool, underrepresented composers and scores from films that have a good following and composers we all care about. So if you see me getting persnickety over a comment, I apologize. Like many of you I do care about quality and presentation. Sometimes you can only work with what you have.
So for Comstock, Solium may be right, you may be right (which means if we do this, we may be right). I really want to do this and there still could be a way. Maybe if the next couple reissues we put out sell out, I may take the deep dive.
Please note though - if we do it, I hope we get some love for this great collection vs. what we got for Holocaust. Holocaust is on par with a Chris Gordon score I worked at Varese as head of sales. I was disappointed that release sold a whopping 200 copies. Argh.

I'll just chime in that I'm someone who would prefer to pay $19.95 for an interesting two-LPs-on-one-CD premiere, over $15.95 for just the single album. I'm more than happy to pay the extra $4 for double the music.

I'm going to assume you're referring to On the Beach, since the poor sales for that were rather infamous. I blame the cover, personally. But in any case I just want to let you know (as minuscule a consolation as it may be) that it is likely my favorite score of the 21st century to date. Yeah, even ahead of Shore's Middle Earth magnum opus.
I probably never would have discovered that score without the Varese release of it. I loved the score so much it led to me reading the novel, seeing the original 1959 film, and buying the score for that too when FSM released it. But amusingly I've still never seen the 2000 miniseries (so don't have any idea if there might be good unreleased music that will never see the light of day). I just love every single note of that generous Varese album.
