    Nice! Hoping for a cleaned up release of Psycho. Is that too much to ask for?

    They've said they're releasing it so they put right the things that were wrong with their previous release of it. I assume therefore that everyone who bought the previous one will be entitled to a full refund.

    That depends -- did you willingly buy their previous one? Did somebody force you? A gun to your head, a hand in your wallet? Have you demand money back from FSM for an inferior "Patton"? Or, on the other side of the idea token, requested a free copy of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" from LLLR?
    They were, after all, the best they could do at the time, and later they could do better. Does time earn you money back?


    If you buy a car that had design defects, but still ran and got you where you wanted to go, would you then, after buying the new model a few years later, demand you money back since the new model fixed said defects?

    Since when are you, or anybody else, entitled you money back just because you freely made a choice?

    Or, to sum it up nicely:

    Ah, the classic ultra-American 'caveat emptor' attitude that wil let manufacturers get away with anything short of murder.
    'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn
  14. It's also, correct. And name what Intrada is trying to get away with?

    Releasing a highly called for title that sold out faster than Bill Muray's "acting" career?
    Saying "Yes" to a studio, producer, who want the CD out again?
    Helping new fans of music who have discovered this score?
    Fixing the inadvertant error of leaving off a whole cue?


    You don't have to buy it.

    And the onus to a producer to actually come up with a decent product is immaterial of course, as long as we have the right go pay for the same thing over and over and over again.

    Works wonders for consumer faith in certain manufacturers and their products too.

  16. Let me whip out of crystal ball and see into the future ..... yup, Intrada's still there and still has a loyal, loving consumer base.

    A small group are deeply ungreatful. So, basically, the future looks like now!

    Or you.



    Quartet's release of "Casino Roylae" is SOLD OUT. That was quick, I thought that might stick around for a little. I know Bond scores are popular, but I had no idea this one was in such high demand to plow through another run.

    Sold. Sold Out. Buyers who missed out are shaken, not stirred.

    What they are trying - and indeed succeeding - in getting away with is making money from a tiny group of collectors around the world by rehashing the same product on multiple occasions and somehow convincing them that even though it's almost identical to what they already have, they need it again. Well done to them - it's not easy to make money out of soundtrack releasing, but they've found a way. Meanwhile, Moviescore Media will release some fantastic score by a composer few people know and they won't make any money on it, because everyone's spent their money on buying Predator for a third time.

    That's all based on a small assumption they intended to milk us, and they're possibly they're inheritly evil in that regard, and you're all just a bunch of non pissy ungreatful gits abou a re-issue.

    Relatively speaking in comparrison to song CD's, the score community is small, but realisticaly speaking, it is large, and bigger so in certain areas of the world. You don't limit to and then sell about 10,000 of certain CD's, is we're itty bitty.

    They are not "rehashing" the same product "on multiple occassions". They have only done this title once before, and they did improperly, based on their editing tastes and were not paying attention and left a cue off.
    Now you're changing the argument from them to amounts. We'll if amounts is your problem, then I invite you to send an e-mail to Quartet and La La Land Records of their "rehashes", "re-issues", or what ever terminologically stupid phasing used. Hell, since it's their SECOND try at the title, fixing it, where's you're pissing & moaning of "The Omega Man" 2.0?

    Again, you're skipping by realty. They aren't convincing anybody, they're describing what they've done to fix this CD after complaints, from it's fanbase. Show me where, and be damn specific, they write "Oh, check thgis out, you gotta buy it!" "Yeah, it's the same, but come on!".
    Do you make this ridiculus arguments in a gorcery store over Reese Puffs, Peanut butter puff Pebbles, peanut butter flavored Cheerio's? "almost identical to what they already have". Let me see your pissy letter to General Mills, Kelloggs, and Post?

    You're implying nefarious intents, that Roger and hampster Doug stood around, in some darkened room, rubbing their hands and running their fingers threw their evil curly mustaches, figuring out ways to so happily persuade you out of your own money, though be it your own choice.

    MovieScore Media released 24 CD's in 2011, Intrada 37. Assuming 2012 is an approximation of 2011 quantitu wise for each label, just minus ONE from Intrada. So, where's you argument now? People are already spending plenty. And so now your cookie crumblers even further, because now we take "Predator" OUT of this argument and look at 2011. Well, well, well, seems Intrada still had more purchases than MSM. How about 2010? Nope, still mroe sales. How about 2009? Do I need to go further, or do you still want to place blame upon one title and one label? How about LLLR's 2011 sales? Yup -- higher. How about LLLR's 2010 sales? And so on, and so on. But yes! I'm sure it's gotta be "Predator"! OMG!!!


    This is akin to the bullshit from Occupy protestors -- the big guy is trying to screw the little guy. Well, Realityville is a far different place. And in Realityville they are pooping on cars, throwing tombstone threw church windows, peeing in churches, pooping in churches, throwing condoms at Cathloic school girls, and to say nothing about their posted list of demands.


    You can have your disagreemtns with Intrada Records. You can not see eye-to-eye with Roger, hell -- you don't even have to like him, but there was no malicious intent here, no move to purposefully rip you off, and people have free will.


    But, by God, if you sthink you can out-sell Intrada whereas MSM can't, start your own label with non popular decades-old requested titles. Let us see you do it.

    Calm down, Justin. The foam at your mouth is diluting your arguments. wink

    I do like your comparison to the Occupy movement: indeed, if you're perfectly happy with companies creating and selling half-ass products under false pretenses ("it's the best there is!") and paying through the nose for it, yeah, you deserve what you get and I wish you a long and enjoyable life in abject poverty, inanely wondering how it ever got to be this bad.

    I have no beef with Intrada at all.
    It's a great little company with marvellous products that I greatly enjoy.

    I have a massive beef with the principle of the thing.
    Create a product, do it right the first time.

    This isn't about artistic choices, new insights, new material or new technology.
    This is all about stuff that should have been correct the first time around.
    Therefore the original product fits the description of 'faulty'.

    To create a product now with the implication that you really need this one because -unlike the first time- "we got it right now (sorry, we've been asleep at the wheel, but thanks for your money anyway)" is far less akin to standard competition between like-type products you describe, and far more to offering to buy a new car because the first model happened to have no brakes (which you didn't know about. Sorry. But it's the best we could do at the time.).

    To be perfectly honest, I don't care this way or that way. These things aren't designed for me in the first place. They could release it a million times, and I still wouldn't buy any of them as long as they were C&C. Now, if there was a common money pool they all pulled from, and some of the money was used for reissues like this instead of far more deserving, completely unreleased material, then it would have been another thing altogether. But I don't know if that is the case.
    I am extremely serious.

    I am NOT implying nefarious intents in any way. They are a business, their sole purpose is to make money. There is nothing nefarious in that. With the amount of unreleased (desirable) music now very low, they (and the other labels) need to find another way of making money, and inevitably that is through second or third releases of the same title, with varying degrees of incremental improvement. Because soundtrack collecting has very carefully, very deliberately and very successfully been turned into a real bottlecap business, to use Jerry Goldsmith's analogy, they can probably survive by doing so for a very long time to come. Good luck to them. I have literally hundreds, maybe even thousands, of the products of these companies and love a lot of them. I'm thankful that they have given me the opportunity to buy them but am not so foolish as to think it's been through some charitable act.
