Intrada actually released this CD last week, and they're down to only 100 copies remaining.

…and i just ordered my copy. Hopefully i'm one of these 100 then.

Well done. If their site accepted your order, you're good to go. This is such an amazing release. I received the CD last week and I've already listened to it like 4 or 5 times. It's a mindbender.

Mine shipped yesterday. Great landmark score for a terrific movie. And the samples sound very
clear. Can't wait to give this thing a spin. Never heard the LP, only saw the film a number of
times.

Intrada accepted my order so i think i'll be fine. Good to know all those bootlegs are redundant now since this one is mastered straight from the Universal mastertapes. Wondering how pristine the sound of this score really is.
btw, how is the info booklet?

I have the LP Version of this for sale. (Not the hexagon LP but the second issue) It's in near mint condition. Any takers?

Send a response to me at jgoldbergmk5@yahoo.com. Make sure the header of the e-mail has the LP name in it,

I haven't opened the booklet yet, flambeur, but it includes the original LP liner notes in addition to new notes by Daniel Schweiger, so you really couldn't ask for more.

I got my cd yesterday and I have a question. Is it me, or has Intrada's quallity going
downhill. The cd tray inserts for the blue max, jaws 3d, and Andromeda strain were all
cut wrong, cutting off half the name on the side of the cd. I called intrada a year ago
about this, and got no answer. They don't make the cd's, but I asked if they could
please relay this to the proper people. Well, it's still happening. I love movie scores as
much as the next guy on this site. The cd just looks stupid next to my other intrada
cd's. Fix your machines, calibrate your cutting machine or something. Has this
happened to anyone else, or am I the only one this keeps happening to?

Same here. This the second Intrada disc in my collection but i also noticed the wrong cutting of the inlays. i didn't know if this was a one-off but it happened more often…

Personally i expected a bit more of the extra design of the CD but -hey- the sound quality is way better than expected. And that's what really matters to me. Listening all those years to a bootleg (sorry) made me getting used the mediocre sound quality. I'm very happy i did replace that old disc and i basically hear new music here!
