While browsing Intrada's soundtrack pages, I noticed that the wonderful FSM release of Logan's Run is still available, even though it's limited to 3000 copies and came out in 2002!
Not that I mind, but: anybody else finds that odd? I mean, some film score CDs sell like hotcakes -- not just those limited to 1000 copies -- whereas this one is still there. After six years!
I find this particularly strange since:
a) It's a Jerry Goldsmith score (Goldsmith being among the high profile composers)
b) I consider it among his absolute finest scores (that's, of course, just my opinion, but I'd definitely put it very high up on the list)
c) It's science fiction (these tend to sell above average, I guess)
d) It's remastered (much better sound than any previous release) and complete, with good liner notes. Can't expect a better release than that.
e) Stuff like Saturn 3, The Swarm, or even The Ballad of Cable Hogue has sold out already.
Maybe it's got to do with the fact that there were previous, although heavily truncated, releases of Logan's Run? Or maybe the score is not all that well received? Considering that "lesser" Goldsmith scores like Baby sold out so quickly, I really wonder about that.
