Borders is the name of a bookstore chain in the US, and they apparently had a an exclusive right to sell this CD. The number produced seems to have been limited, since Borders stores quickly sold out and seem unable to get more. This would seem to be a strange marketing agreement for the CD publisher, because it limited sales to certain stores that do not exist in all areas where people might want to buy their product. It also appears that the CD was only available in the physical stores, not on the company website. It is a short-sighted marketing strategy, restricting sales that otherwise might have been much greater. Perhaps WaterTower will later issue a more general release, perhaps not.

Thank you for your clear explanation, Betenoir.

I don't like those commercial strategies that limit the number of copies available, and let the few existing copies reach insane prices. I hope WatrerTower will release more copies to reach a wider audience. That score could be a best seller...

Regards,

I assume that since the movie is based on a series of books, they felt
like choosing a bookstore as the exclusive outlet made sense.
