    I wouldn't mind giving them away, but I return to my point that they were all rubbish - and frankly, to "give them away" I'd have to pay postage to send them to people, which was not high on my priority list.

    I'd have loved to have sold them, but putting 500 things like James L Venable's "Iron Monkey" or Randy Edelman's "Gettysburg" on Ebay would surely end up costing me more than it retrieved.


    I have a few hundred stowed away and have had intentions to get rid of them.

    I think I'll ....

    A) Play each one to see if I really must throw it away.

    or

    B) Sell them on e-bay or offer them to board members.

    Isn't it funny how we all start out in envy of those with years of collecting behind them, yet when you finally do reach the point where your collection starts to resemble a CD shop, you miss the days of having very few CDs.

    NO information except in the most obscure magazines as to where you could buy out of print soundtracks.

    Record stores with a measly pile of soundtracks....if you weren't into Spagetti Westerns, James Bond, or The Sound of Music you were buggered.

    On the plus side, that measly little collection I had as a teen was played back to front to back again until I knew every nuance and note and scratch and hiss of every single album I had.

    I did what franz is now doing just a few months ago. I spent two-three weeks transferring ALL of my 1000 CD's to iTunes-compatible file format. Hell of a job! Since then, I have only played CD's while I'm cleaning my apartment and have to stow my portable computer away.

    So, what am I to do with the CD collection? Well, first of all, it's really a piece of FURNITURE as it takes up a whole part of the wall, and it's also a piece of furniture that tells something about who and what I am. CD's are also the things I play if I want to go all "headphones" and really LISTEN to the music rather than having it on in the background as I surf the net. After all, the sound quality is that much better. So I have no intention of putting them in boxes and storing them away in some attic. However, I DO intend to sell off quite a few in the near future, which is more the result of wanting to have only QUALITY stuff that I am 100% certain will give me listening pleasure in the years to come, not quantity.

    Maybe it's my English skills, but I didn't really understand what franz was supposed to do with these boxes (I think it's the word "cull"...doesn't that mean to "pull" as in "these tracks were culled from a different source"). Are you storing them somewhere? Are you selling them off? Are the titles you mentioned things that go in the box for storage or things that go on a sales list?
    I am extremely serious.

    Actually I love having heaps of them. But now that I can fit them all inside a small box on my desk, I don't feel I need to have them fill up half my living space. wink

    I have a small storage space, which at the moment contains boxes of old books I haven't read in a while. It is now slowly filling up with boxes of CDs.

    Yes, the ones going in the boxes are the ones I list here. It isn't a sales list, although I may eventually sell some of them. ('Out of sight' is after all the first step to 'out of mind.') The reason I list them here however is to observe the shocked reaction however from all and sundry. It has been tough to make myself understand - 'yes, you aren't actually going to pull that CD off the shelf anymore' - and put it away.

    Some of the below went in last night, and will illustrate this for many:

    - Kiss of Death (Trevor Jones)
    - Marvin's Room (Rachel Portman)
    - Emma (Rachel Portman)
    - White Palace (George Fenton)
    - Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (Danny Elfman)
    - Avalon (Kenji Kawai)
    - Pure Cinema Chillout (themes compilation I was sent when I was the reviewer)
    - Cry, the Beloved Country (John Barry)
    - Titanic / Back to Titanic (James Horner)
    - Ruby Cairo (John Barry)
    - 2 Days in the Valley (Goldsmith - boot)
    - The Last Castle (Goldsmith)

    Oh, don't you think for a second that putting this in small font makes me overlook it!! I guess this is MY time to utter my shock and amazement over your box pick - one of Elfman's Holy Trinity (the others being BATMAN and EDWARD, of course) and simply put one of my favourite soundtracks of all time.

  30. It might have been a bit cheeky of me to put NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS in there, but since there's some serious Elfman fan(s) watching, I thought it time to cause a stir. It's on my hard drive if I want to listen to it, and the truth is, I haven't listened to it in 3 years. wink

    PS. For me, Elfman's holy trinity goes a bit more like:
    - Sommersby
    - Standard Operating Procedure
    - Mission Impossible
    And they - and many other Elfmans - will not go ... INTO THE BOX!
