Intrada Soundtrack Forum

OK, so I'm going to be "that guy" here... But I feel after spending thousands upon thousands of dollars with you guys (having virtually every single Intrada release - some several times over) that I have the right to question. Why did you guys decide to randomly change your spine design on these last two ISC releases? I fail to see the benefit of the change other than it being change for the sake of change... Obviously, from a film score fanatic AND Intrada collection completionist, I'm not particularly fond of them now looking different on the shelf.

Not earth shattering or anything, but I've been looking for a reason to slow purchasing down... And the unilateral elimination of limited editions was almost it.

I'm a film music fan myself, and I don't see why the spines not matching the others would be important... As long as it features the title of the score, so that I can find it more easily on my shelves... Once the CD is spinning, it's the music that matters !

Like I said, not Earth-shattering... but a disappointment.

For me, it's like changing the binding on an encyclopedia set at letter "R". Heck even the last two they changed are completely inconsistent with each other - and don't match themselves. Yes, love the music... but I always buy Intrada titles even if I'm not a fan of that particular score because I collect Intrada.

This might be really confusing to find a specific title in your collection... no chronological order, no alphabetical order, all the composers randomly mixed together... This would be like putting a Queen album, Demi Lovato and Powder next to each other, just because they were all released by Hollywood Records and that the spines would match...

Nope. Not for me... The only ones I keep separated are Intrada & Varese... And the only ones by number are Intrada. I can go right to whichever title I'm looking for by memory. I see them more like an issue number -- say that you keep a collection of magazines by number: Each has different content... Besides I rip them all as I get them and listen to them that way. I only store them this way

I know, to each his or her own.

They still have the number on the spine, so I don't see it as a big deal even for the most obsessive collector. Then again, I'm not one to talk since I never think about this particular kind of stuff.

Nice collection, by the way. You don't have every FSM and Kritzerland release as well just for the hell of it?

Thanks. I pick and choose Kritzerland and FSM because I feel they are inconsistent in regards to era. Kritz does a lot of really random titles... plays and stuff. I like post late 1960's and on. I think Intrada is solid across the board. I stay current with all Varese and Lalaland (Have pretty much all of 'em)

If you like my score collection, you'll appreciate my blu-ray / DVD library. This photos's a year old...

That's one bad ass CD collection but not a sniff of vinyl in there. You wanna see some old school bad ass wait until I get the vinyl displayed. Although there are quite a few fanatics overseas who might make it look miniscule next to their own obsessive heap I have a few LPs of which only a very few copies exist, so chew your damn toes off.

WoW awsome collection, wonder which title leads to the secret passage

There is something blurry in the back of your CD collection, what is the disc you seem to be ashamed of ? ^^

Holy...! I am shocked in awe at the size of that collection! :O Question, and I know this is totally unrelated, but are those custom-built shelves, and if so how long did it take to build them?

Awesome collection! I thought my collection was big but you seriously can't have listened to all of those CD's or watched all of those DVD's?

I built them all myself -- over a couple weekends, and for a couple hundred bucks max. They work incredible, and hold everything sturdier than anything store bought at 10x the price.

And yes, I would say that I've listened to pretty much all of them... but definitely have my favorites. The movies? Massive fan, and that photo was a year old -- I'm closing in on 7000 at the moment, with blu-rays finally over 1/2. I most definitely didn't buy the majority of them -- and am lucky to have the career I do.

Thanks, All!
