I know this is a tad-bit early and the numbers aren't really that important to you guys at Intrada, but with the release of the great Renegades by Michael Kamen (Vol. 192), I see we are approaching 200 titles in the Special Collection series alone, which may be small, but it still stands as a significant importance for the history of film music as it comes to live on CD. With all their incredible work - and I know we thank them enough - I just wanted to celebrate this in a small, intimate way here at Intrada's forums - greatest place on the 'net.
I remember the 100th volume a while back (Goldsmith's fantastic In Harm's Way), and can easily recall a bunch of really cool stuff that has come since. So, again, I know Intrada has just celebrated a much larger milestone (25th Anniversary), but I wanted to personally congratulate them on another successful run in this fantastic series of CDs. May all of you at Intrada be successful in 2012 ... and here's to no. 300, whenever it may come; I know I'll be here for sure.
In an effort to expound on this celebration, I'm asking everyone what is their most treasured CD from the Special Collection series only. Try and only pick one, which will be tough I know, and give a small dose as to why it remains so important to your tastes or collection.
For me, I'll give it some thought and post mine after a bit (I'm sure many already know what mine may be - ha!). I look forward to reading everyone's choices.
