For those of you lamenting the passing of the "Best Score" promo CDs that the academy has ruled out of supporting, that initially helped composers to get their music noticed outside of their prospective films, looks like Alberto Iglesias's exciting score to THE KITE RUNNER has snuck in as a much expanded promo in this month's issue of THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER'S "Oscar Watch: Song and Score" edition. At 31 tracks, verses the 21 track commercial version (minus the songs), and over an hour and 14 minutes of music, it only costs the price of the magazine, which is a $6 steal.

Given the circumstances, this may turn out to be the only legally produced and widely available Oscar promo made for this years upcoming award celebrations, so check it out before they're gone!

This CD was already part of an issue of The Hollywood Reporter a couple weeks ago.

It's actually the second time that Paramount has done this. They did a similar CD for Michael Brook's score to INTO THE WILD featuring the score and the Eddie Vedder songs.

I got the KITE RUNNER disc off eBay and it's WONDERFUL. If I had known they were going to issue it again, I'd have waited.

My question is whether or not these come via subscription copies or are they available on the newstand ones too.
