What was the issue with the original CD and was it a major.

The Kritzerland fixed a brief and irritating glitch on Bar one of the album, a tape dropout present on the Bay Cities cd I lived with for bloody decades.
Dunno if there are other things, but the KL is THE go-to for this wonderful score.
Please DO NOT quote me, but I think there was an initial glitch Kimmel recalled and fixed.
I think.
Breakfast today was......breakfast was.....
I cqnna remember!
But somehow this subject feels fresh.
Bah....

On another slightly more alarming note, I've had three e-mails this evening from people who are experiencing some skipping problems on their Man Who Would Be King CDs. Of course, I immediately opened two copies and have played them on two separate players and have had no problems whatsoever, so I'm hoping it's just a random thing. If it's more widespread than that, then the pressing plant will have to repress discs only and enough to cover whatever problems there are. It's not the master, since the two copies I've played are fine. Hopefully, this will be limited to perhaps just those few people - that's my prayer anyway.
If it's a larger problem, it will be dealt with swiftly, I can assure you.

I may be misreading the intention of "If it's a larger problem, it will be dealt with swiftly, I can assure you. Hopefully, you meant that when we found out about the issue that affected some players but not others back in 2010, that we moved swiftly to be proactive. That's what I hope you meant but it's hard to discern tone on discussion boards.  There was no predicting who would have the issue and who wouldn't. It was weird. In any case, the pressing plant did a new pressing within three or four days and anyone who ordered through us was sent a replacement disc and all vendors were also sent replacement discs. Since we had it so quickly, most of our orders included both CDs.

Now, that is the way to present a question. The CD was released in 2010. We found out quickly that on SOME players there was a problem with skipping on a couple of the later tracks (it's fourteen years later, so can't remember exactly how many). I personally played ten copies here on the computer and five different machines and had no problems. But others did have the issue so rather than wait, we IMMEDIATELY had the plant do a new run and from the time we got them in, all CDs sold through us came with the replacement disc, just in CASE anyone had an issue. We did not wait to find OUT if they had an issue, we just included the newly pressed version, too. We also sent replacement discs to all vendors who ordered from us. The CD has been long out of print. Occasionally, I'll get an email from someone who bought the CD from a third-party seller and even though we didn't really have to at that point, as long as we had the replacement copies we sent them one and WE paid the postage.
I'm actually not certain whether we have any copies left of either the original or re-pressed CD. We may have a few, we may not.

I apologize for not being more clear, I should have put it in quotes. I wasn't commenting on the issue but quoting you from the other thread. I thought that would help answer the OP's question.

I vaguely recall reading somewhere that during the production of the film Jarre ran off with Huston's girlfriend, ending future collaborations with the composer and director.

Oh, that's my post from when it happened - that makes sense now - and yes, quote marks or saying that would have been helpful

Thanks for the update, Bruce. So, hypothetically, one could acquire a copy of TMWWBK from a third party and possibly obtain a copy of the replacement disc - against adequate compensation - hypothetically?

If we still have them, yes.

Hello Bruce, I purchased mine from a small independent company (Movie Groves in UK) which shut shop soon after I purchased the CD (when it was released), the owner was genuine and a good chap, I did not get an opportunity to raise the issue, as I did not test it after sometime, if there are replacements available, would I be eligible for a replacement? Many thanks.
