Question

LE MANS - is it in stores now?
Hello,
given the confusing situation about the Écoutez le Cinéma release of Legrand's LE MANS / LE CHASSEUR and renewed delays of release dates on Amazon's website, I'd like to know:
Has anyone of you been able to purchase this CD yet? I am not meaning to ask about an order only, I would like to know IF YOU HOLD THE CD IN YOUR HANDS. I would be especially interested to learn if some of our BELGIAN fellows here have got the CD, as I would like to go for a little CD raid in Brussels around the turn of November/December.
I did check it out here on the website and 2 members claim to have it in their collection, but as I know that unfortunately several members now mark CDs as in their collection although they haven't got the actual thing yet, I cannot take that as a confirmation.
Thanks in advance,
Urs

Hi,
Not too far from Brussels but in Paris I saw it and listen to some samples in some big retail CD shops!
Have a nice hearing

Thank you! At least I know now the CD is definitely on sale. Now I just need to make sure FNAC in Belgium will have it...

Wouldn't count on it. I live in Belgium and have to admit less and less soundtracks are being sold (imported) here, even in Fnac. It's just a bunch of bestsellers and stuff that's been collecting dust on shelves. Also, the prices are very steep.
To be honest, if you can find it online in the US, it may be cheaper to order it that way.
I would recommend, whenever in Germany, to visit the Saturn in Köln. They have a large and interesting collection of soundtracks.

Hi rinse,
I actually had a very good experience with FNAC in Liège some months ago. They had lots of titles from the Écoutez le Cinéma series at prices ranging between 9.99 and 12.50. I live almost in the middle between Brussels and Köln, so I do check out Köln's SATURN quite often, but in the case of the Écoutez series, it's hopeless. Saturn has only very few of those titles and those few are usually at more than 20 Euros a title or more.

Damn, I guess a lot has changed in little time. I've always found Köln's Saturn to have one of the largest OST collections in Europe (yet not cheap indeed!).
And I was referring to Fnac in Brussels, Antwerp and Ghent.
To end on a positive note, you can always order items in Fnac shops (if they can find it in stock somewhere), that way you know beforehand if it's worth the trip.
Good luck!

Hi Urs, I got my copy some days ago from Amazon France.

Does the disc have the track with the sounds of the race cars mixed with the music? And is the Steve McQueen dialogue track included?

Hi Urs!...
It is also availble from Ark Square. My copy is in transit. Hopefully I should have it this coming week.

Hi all,
thanks for your replies, if I'm itching enough, I might give it a try on monday...going Brussels, that is :-)
I see the combined timing of the LE MANS tracks is 37:24 or so...so there must be some 8 extra minutes. Unless my "head maths" was wrong. ;-)

just back from Fnac in Brussels, the new UNIVERSAL releases aren't in stock,
what pity, i hope the next week it 'll be there

Hi manu,
thanks for letting me know...and sorry, I was there a week ago as well and got back home without what I was looking for as well (picked up a couple of other CDs though, of course).
I would still be grateful if you'd let me know when you find it in Brussels. You can also email me. I live near the Belgian border, in Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle).
Regards,
Urs
