Nice post, Andrew. Telarc does have amazing sound quality, and generally really good performances. I'd like to put in another plug for the Naxos label, too. They usually have very very good sound quality and solid performances. PLUS they have often have interesting and unusual repertoire...

Slightly off topic, but is the Sony-BMG merger and it's affects on Arista the reason we were never treated to a DVD-A of Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below?? That would just make me mad. J

God, I hope we get treated to another Beck hi-res surround sound experience. Has anyone heard details of what's going to be on the Odelay re-issue yet? Any word on possible surround there?? J

Mark, I've heard rumors that the Tacoma Store went under because of extreme shoplifting (supposedly more was stolen than sold!) and Bellevue went under because the rent at the Galleria was too high. I was talking to an employee about 4 or 5 months before they closed and he said they spent...

God, I blocked that question out of my mind shortly after I first saw the video because I figured I'd never know what he said. I guess now I do. J

To add to Jeff's comments, all they said they would stop doing was conspiring to keep prices high. Now that they've been caught, they're just doing it the old fashioned way. I did notice a brief period where it seemed like every new music release I wanted came out at $9.99 at Best Buy...

Sounds cool to me - I'll be there day and date! J

That's a good way to put it, Chris. It's also worth noting that these releases seem to sell particularly well - they're a nice way to build a classical collection with well regarded players and well regarded performances on the cheap. An added bonus for the gearhead/audiophile is of course...

Thank god! I was wondering when we'd see more of these! J

Thank god for this thread - I was just beginning to feel a zombie movie kick coming on. Now I know what to check out!! Here's a trailer for an upcoming zombie flick. So far, I'm not terribly impressed, but you guys just have to see for yourselves...

Has anyone heard any updates on these releases? I mean, they're slowly moving into Pink Floyd and Beatles style purgatory/oblivion, you know? Justin

I hope Lauzirika's working on this one, too! I got to see a worn print of the theatrical cut at the Cinerama in Seattle about 3-4 years ago. AWESOME. I hope we get to see the new version there as well. J

This is the most exciting news I've heard in ages! Warner has really gone to bat for us here, and I appreciate the honesty about the multiple upcoming versions so people can knowingly make up their minds what to buy. They've got some awesome stuff in the pipeline when you add this to the...

This set is, in a word, AWESOME. The new cut is amazing. The features (what I've gotten through, anyway) are well thought out, diverse, informative, and fun. Thanks to Ridley Scott and crew, Fox, and especially Charles de Lauzirika and his team for the tremendous effort that went into this...

This whole situation just makes me sad. I wish that Lucas would see it our way. I respect his right as an artist to modify the film as much as he wants to, and I respect the staggering amount of work that went into creating the current DVDs. I just wish that he would give us a little OT love...
