I'm lucky to have them all and was very lucky to have found all the missing ones (I didn't grab when they first got released: THE TOWER, THE ENEMY BELOW, SWITCHBACK, BRUBAKER, LOCK UP,...etc) for quite nice prices!
It took me nearly 3 years to complete both Intrada series! (During 3 years I was really into fulfilling both my Intrada collection and the Varèse Clubs ones (old batch and recent one)... and I finally made it ahahah!)!
They just look sooo beautiful next to each other... and of course, the music is even more beautiful!
I must add that I'm also quite lucky to live in a city (Geneva, Switzerland), where there isn't a lot of soundtrack lovers, so I was able to buy all missing Intradas at my local CD shops without having to pay high prices!
I didn't have a credit card back then, nore did I knew what Intrada was all about: I remember when I ran at my local CD shop and saw both SWITCHBACK & THE TOWER. I read they were "limited editions" and bought them without any hesitation because there were "Poledouris" and "Chris Young"! I didn't know there was new line of limited CDs and had never heard of Intrada before! Then a few months later, a friend of mine did buy them for me, along his orders. Afterwards, when I finally got a credit card I naturally continued buying them blindly. To this day, my Intrada and Varèse Clubs collections are the most cherish CDs I have. They mean a lot to me, because they are part of my real interest in film music!
