My family (plus a few dead people, I reckon) can attest to the fact that I went completely and utterly mental when Bernstein's "Gangs of New York" was released.

BTW, have you received your Varese cds yet?
Oh, bugger. I forgot to give you my review of "The Right Stuff", didn't I? I'll get on it right away! I received the Conti CD last week, and the separate order of the Goldsmith and North CD's on Monday.

Probably the 2-disc set of Michael J Lewis. Just because of the tracks from THE MEDUSA TOUCH. As soon as I got it home it was just those tracks over and over; it was a while before I started with the rest of the music.

I was floored when Varese announced HANOVER STREET. One of my favorite scores, and I never thought I'd see it. I was literally shouting in my apartment with childish glee!

I clearly remember the day that I saw the Star Wars 4CD Box Set sitting high on a shelf behind the counter at Cheapies in Hamilton back in 1996. I was relatively new to soundtrack "collecting" so I had no idea that this legendary box set was released back in 1993. I had no money at the time; I was a poor college student and only made a few hundred bucks each week working at McRauchies!
Another memorable purchase was DCC’s Raiders of the Lost Ark. When I found out about the release by visiting my favorite John Williams web page I immediately jotted down DCC’s phone number and waiting until later that afternoon to place my first ever phone order. This again was another soundtrack that I thought I would never own. It was and still is my all time favorite score.
Those were two of the biggest ones for me as well. I found the Star Wars Anthology at a Costco one day in 1993 and couldn't believe it! At that point I'd had to make due with cassette recordings of my dad's SW and ESB LPs (and no ROTJ at all), so I eagerly snatched up a copy and put it into the basket. A couple years later, it was almost like deja vu when DCC's Raiders was given to me as a birthday present by my parents. Finally, I could replace my cassette tape of the vinyl album and hear all this great music (plus fantastic extras) in all its shining glory. Yet a couple more years later, the 1997 two-disc editions of the Star Wars trilogy created the excitement all over again.
In more recent years, I was most excited to purchase Varese's Deluxe Editions of The 'burbs, Total Recall, and Aliens, Spacehunter: Adventures In the Forbidden Zone, Decca's Jaws: Anniversary Collector's Edition, Batman: The Animated Series - Vol. 1, and (most recent) Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection, the most-wanted box set I never thought I'd see.

Seriously though, LATB is a great score. I'm really glad you enjoy a cd so much, I know what it's like.
