I was just curious about the Signature Edition line, which for a brief while seemed to have stuff coming out very regularly, almost as much as the Special Collection, and now seems to have slowed to a halt. There was only one single Signature title last year, Band's Dragonworld, and I for one thought it was a pretty disappointing title for such a talented composer. This seemed to be a cool way for obscure minor scores to make it out into the world. I've absolutely loved some of the scores in the series, for example Randy Miller's Spartacus.
Also over the past year all of the titles that hadn't sold out were eliminated from the current Intrada catalog with the SOLE exception of Broughton's Glory and Honor:

Are Signature Edition line titles just being folded into the Special Collection? (I always found it somewhat arbitrary what scores ended up in which line, ie. titles by Rosenthal, Broughton, Small, Jarre, heck even older stuff like Les Baxter (!) made it into the signature line whereas other scores by them apparently no more high-profile ended up in the Special Collection) Can we expect more Holdridge, Miller, Plumeri, etc. (Dov Seltzer?) in *any* line now or has Intrada risen to more high profile stuff they're busy with from the Disney, Universal, Paramount, Fox, Warner Bros, MGM vaults?
