Got Daaaaamn!

Today I got pretty lucky at my local record store, where I had dropped a bunch of records for cleaning.

They bought a huge soundtracks collection (12 giant boxes!) and they had only put out 3 boxes of that. I missed some of the big stuff (4 copies of The Shining!) but these were all very reasonably priced.

The best news is that they let me pick through the next 3 boxes and I found some real gems. They’re going to price them overnight, so I’ll go back tomorrow for them. But there was a ton of VS in there - the Raising Arizona/Blood Simple LP, Morricone’s Bloodline, ESNY, etc. Plus at least 10 Goldsmith scores I’ve never even heard of, and an OG US Bird With the Crystal Plumage. Oh, and like 5 copies of Love at First Bite, lol.

Anyway, this is what I grabbed from what had already been put out, and tomorrow I’ll pick up what I pulled out today, and I get to go through another bunch of boxes. Hopefully I’ll find some more VS gold in there. Their prices are *extremely* fair, too.

Hot damn @harvershaw your living the dream that ‘s awesome. I hope you keep posting what you find.:)

What a score, Havershaw!

Yeah I can’t believe it.

If anyone’s got any VS holy grails (apart from the obvious big ones - I know what those are), let me know!

Also, any sleeper Goldsmith recommendations? I feel like they had tons of his stuff there.

@haveshaw - Four copies of The Shining already flew the coop? Damn. Also, when did that start going for $150-200? I need a fresh copy.

@deaf I think there’s a lot of stuff that already flew the coop, but I’m hoping there’s still a lot of good stuff in the remaining boxes I didn’t get to see yet.

At the very least, I’ll be able to grab that Raising Arizona and a few others I had them put aside last night.

Of the less obvious/famous ones (Total Recall etc) released by VS, I would highly recommend the following if you see them at good price/you don't already have them:

LINK This is one of my fave quirky Goldsmith scores, I loooove it and play it loads! The film is great fun too
RUNAWAY
OMEN III
SUPERGIRL

Nice grabs @Havershaw!

As far as Goldsmith goes, if you don’t have it grab it. He really never phoned it in.

Dark crystal OG is my favorite in the pile you have there, one of my favorite scores. Might spin that today haha.

I have long imagined this exact scenario happening to me dude, have at them!

@Static and @Havershaw: impressive scores!

Agree!!

Yeah its rare i don't pick up a goldsmith when i see one. Goldsmith and Morricone are usually automatic even if i don't know the score or the film. Maurice Jarre most of the time too now that I think about it.

@scojo, on that note Rampage is EXCELLENT, I remembered now that i had sought the film out before and never actually watched it, will remedy that soon.

Nice haul! Always fun to get to a shop right as they put out a new buy

Nice one! Yes I think it's superb, very haunting and ethereal score, and actually adds disturbing element to the film - maybe not particularly succesful Friedkin movie (there were a lot of problems) but very interesting nonetheless. Has the look and feel of a made-for-cable movie, really wish we could get a decent w/s transfer even in SD! I'm sure it would give the film a lift and change the viewing experience.

thanks all!

yeah I guess I’ll just grab any Goldsmith I’m unfamiliar with. I already checked out a bunch of the stuff I recall seeing and it was all great.

I sense another shelving unit in my future.

I would have to say that Goldsmith is a giant hole in my soundtrack collection. I feel like if Tim were look at my collection he'd scold me on how lacking it is haha

I'll have to remedy that after the dust settles on this VS binge

If their pricing is cheap enough, I might buy multiples. For whatever reason, this collection has multiple copies of a lot of titles (there are 5 copies of The Blue Max and 3 of Freud, for example).

Excellent haul Havershaw! Does your Dark Crystal have the poster?

And 12 boxes of OSTs you say?
