Also i just took a gander at my CC bill and these last few weeks got away from me so there will be NO more purchasing of ANYTHING for at least a month or two. (statement subject to change)

I need to check out the Gabriel Yared, I absolutely love his score to Betty Blue.

Invitation is a very early score to quite an odd little movie, it's got that early digital synth feel (Synclavier etc) which comes through in the composing and the sounds. It reeks of that ambience of French cinema from the era (like Eric Serra's music for films of Besson and Beniex) and for that reason I find it a fun, somewhat nostalgic listen. It reminds me a bit of some later Vangelis scores like Bitter Moon. I might not play it in mixed company though - too much context-explaining required (see above! ;)Hatter313 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 6:52 pmI’m too scared to look at mine.

You can still order from him.
Hatter313 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 4:22 pm Ah gotcha.I've been seeing random copies of Phantasm get listed for $150-$300 for the last year or so, I just imagine it's some crazy person. Records all over the place are getting jacked up for no real reasons.
Nah, too rich for my blood right now. although someone has put up phantasm on eBay for 600 so i don't know what the hell is going on...did we gamestop this thing haha?
Hatter313 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:07 pm Also i just realized that Mad Max is on a thicker cardboard stock and a shade larger than most of the other VS sleeves. anyone know if there's others on this sort of old school reverse board?There definitely are, though I can't think which ones off top of my head
tim28212 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 11:36 pmIndeed! i just confirmed with mine, it is also the slightly larger and heavier card stock.Hatter313 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 03, 2021 10:07 pm Also i just realized that Mad Max is on a thicker cardboard stock and a shade larger than most of the other VS sleeves. anyone know if there's others on this sort of old school reverse board?MY NOTLD is a bit oversized.

What’s the cat # on NOTLD? I would assume it starts with VC? It’s weird my copy of Phantasm and The Dunwich Horror are both start with VC they are bigger and have a nice textured sleeve. My Dawn of the Dead also starts with VC but is slightly smaller and I mean slightly and that textured cover is replaced with more of a glossy cover. Next my EFNY starts with STV and is by far the smallest sleeve, it’s probably a centimetre shorter with a glossy cover. Here’s where it gets kinda weird the next two records I have based on the category number is the Maniac and Halloween II, both of those titles have the textured sleeve and are the same size as Phantasm and the Dunwich Horror. Not sure if it really matters though the music sounds great.
