It’s kinda funny my wife will half pay attention to me sometimes, she knew I was into Carpenter and was obsessed with a certain album of his. She was so happy to give this to me and I really do love it but I didn’t have the heart to tell her the album I was obsessed with was EFNY. In hindsight I’m really glad she got me BTILC as it was an OG and honestly at that time I probably wanted the DW version of EFNY. So I can probably blame her for starting my OG quest :)deafmetal wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 3:36 pmyeah, I got my big trouble around the same time as that warped dead stock showed up a number of years ago, but it wasn't from there. i held my breath and splurged because its my second fav carpenter score and it was before the mondo release was even available.

My wife knows I want the Ghibli soundtracks, she chose My Neighbor Totoro because she thought that was the one I wanted the most. Which I did want but I didn't have the heart to tell her the one that I wanted the most was Princess Mononoke. Doesn't matter to me though because I'll just buy Mononoke anyways and I needed Totoro too.
