Thankfully so, too. I'm ecstatic that Lukas kept the music coming, and didn't fall victim to the comic book, collecting mentality, and whether that was solely business-driven, I wish all labels pressed whatever the demand called for, as FSM did. At last, let's forget this speculation and collectible game and find the music again.

According to Lukas:

These are the CDs (post-2001) that we have grossly overproduced:

Logan's Run (6500 pressed)
Man From U.N.C.L.E. Vol 1 (6000 pressed)
Ice Station Zebra (3500 pressed)
Knights of the Round Table (3500 pressed)
Man From U.N.C.L.E. Vol 2 (5000 pressed)
Where Eagles Dare (6500 pressed)
Big Wednesday (I think 4000 pressed...we need to do an inventory count to be sure)
Man From U.N.C.L.E. Vol 3 (4000 pressed)
Mutiny on the Bounty (4500 pressed)
Kelly's Heroes (7500 pressed! who'da thunk?)
The Thing From Another World (4000 pressed)
CHiPs Vol 1 (3500)
Twilight Zone The Movie (5000)
Bullitt (4000)

we made a ton of these too but I don't think we called them limited in the first place (no AFM issues):
Born Free (5000)
King Kong (5000)
Goodbye Mr. Chips (4000)

Don't tell that to this guy:

Let's try to exchange our ideas and express our thoughts in a civil manner. I think this was a great thing to announce; it's something important in moving forward in this market, so let's remain as adults here.

Well good for them! I'm sure those extra copies helped pay for the titles that had bugger all sales.

I applaud Lukas Kendall for this.

In the end, it really should be about the music and not some limited numbers / speculation guessing game. Bravo!

Excellent.

Sometimes it can be a bit of a pain to have to scramble to grab a copy of a low numbers release - especially if you're strapped for cash that week!.

That explains now why it was so easy for me to get a copy of Where Eagles Dare, that many years after its release, as there was only, allegedly, 3000 copies - I always thought that it was strange how with those numbers, it had never sold out?.

I don't give a damn how many of something is pressed, as long as I can get a copy of what I want, then I'm happy.
I bought the: Grease and Saturday Night Fever Soundtracks the other week - and there's been tens-of-millions of copies of those Soundtracks pressed, over the years!!!!!!!!.

They sold Remo Williams for 20 bucks, the original price. I think it's a good thing you're not buying anymore, you need to lay off the cd's and get some perspective!

I think there are lots of un-released scores to smaller (unknown movie to some folks) that still have to see the light of day. I always thought that the more obscure movie scores were what these labels did BEST, with a few blockbuster movies thrown in for good measure. Keep 'em coming guys.
As for the "limited edition" thing. I don't think anything horrible has been done. I say GREAT job to Lukas and Co.

So out of 200 releases there are only 14 that they went crazy on. And those were 3000 to begin with, so no big deal to me.

It does make me wonder whether those who make a fuss about the numbers of limited editions pressed?,
are actually *SCALPERS*, who bought a whole pile of those releases - that they then wanted to flog at $100 a copy!!!!!!!,
and are pissed-off, that those releases STILL haven't sold out

I have never bought more than 2 copies of certain titles. I bought 2 to give (no money
was exchanged) one to a friend that I knew would enjoy the score and they thanked me.
