How come?

Seriously, any idea what’s going on?

I had the same thought - I messaged VSD via Facebook last week about it and got no response.

Last thing they put out was the Blade vinyls with the artwork similar to what they did for Serenity's Club release.


Not sure if is a manufacturing delay or if maybe an announcement is imminent? Time will tell I suppose.

I heard that they are trying to figure out new ways to screw things up.

I was just thinking that... (they haven't fixed Blade yet!)

What is the issue with Blade.

It's blunt.

Surprising, considering the cutting edge technology.

Hey Varese, if you are listening, how about some Patrick Doyle Deluxe Editions? I am thinking in particular Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco, and even though it wasn't originally a Varese release, Henry V (still my favourite Doyle score, and so good that I'm sure the DE would sell well for you!). Those and many other Doyle score's you've released over the years deserve expansions, I'd buy many of them! But I nevertheless look forward to whatever you tackle next in the CD Club.

I would love the music to the Bob Peak concert with a number of composers from last year.

The thing with Varese is that if they had a butter knife it would be made out of butter.

I would love this too! Just FYI, if I recall correctly it was revealed years ago that the only Doyle score Varese actually controls in perpetuity is Carlito's Way. I'm pretty sure all the other Doyle albums they released without getting perpetuity rights for whatever reason (maybe the studios involved?) which is why La-La Land Records was able to give us that fantastic expansion of Dead Again, for example.

Getting the missing quarter hour of music from Carlito's Way is definitely one of my Varese grails at this point though. Bizarrely, the great music for the film scene pictured on the back of the original Varese CD was not on that album!

I'm honestly really shocked that one of the other labels such as Quartet or Intrada hasn't expanded Henry V yet.

Try comparing the track listing with what's actually on the CD...

If Varese folds what happens to the scores they have perpetuity rights too?

I too am surprised that we haven’t heard anything about Club releases yet. However, as others have mentioned, it’s possible we might hear something about it as early as next week.

I don't think Varese was involved with that concert?

VS is not going to fold
If anything they have more resources from the parent company than LLL, Intrada, you name it

Didn’t they announce they were going to reissue more Encore Edition type titles?

I wouldn’t mind Varese getting back to issuing NEW scores on CD.

The trend of new stuff nearly exclusive to LP is annoying.

I would be very happy to see the deluxe editions of Predator 2, The Abyss and Enemy Mine reissued in the announced Encore series - the only interesting CD Club titles for me that I don't own. As long as they don't mess with them, don't "improve" anything. Let them be the same as those created under Robert Townson's supervision.
