Ordered both on Tuesday, got Superman in the mail this afternoon. Still waiting on Batman. Great to finally have something official for Superman though.
60 bucks? damn thats my whole paycheck!
After I ordered both I knew it was going to total out just under $100 (it was $91 and change all said and done). After completely missing the boat on the first edition release of the Batman animated series soundtrack and having to order it from the incompetents running The MovieMusic Store only to have their idea of what passes as secure packaging lead to the destruction of the jewel case and pieces of the broken case scratching up one of the discs (the first and last time I ordered anything from them) I made the decision to not pass up anything DC related from La-La Land and will always order it direct if my financial situation will allow it.
You know, if you contact La La Land Records, they might be kind enough to send you a replacement disc, even though you didn’t order from them.
Worth a shot.
I considered it but since the release had long since been sold out through them directly I just assumed the response would be “sorry, that was a limited edition release that we no longer have stock for and we cannot offer a replacement” + the unfortunate circumstance of ordering through MovieMusic vs. La-La Land themselves.
They re-issued Volume 1 about a year ago or so ago (also sold out). Every titles has extra copies printed, for defective, lost, and damanged CD’s.
I don’t know, I’d try it. 🙂
I wrote them (literally moments ago, in fact). I was really stunned to find that I even still have the order confirmation and ship notice emails from MovieMusic.
I’m not one to get hopeful so I’m not in this case either but at least I know I’ll have written to them about it. It’s a small consolation but a consolation all the same.
Got a fairly fast response back from Matt about it, basically confirming what I’d expected – it’s way too late for them to do anything about it + the fact that I didn’t purchase it from them directly. He was pretty cool about it overall.
I did end up purchasing the reissue though (I ordered both it and vol. 2 back when they released) but this stuff with the damaged CD on the original vol. 1 release has always frustrated me. Eventually I’ll likely break down and overpay to get a copy from someone else selling it secondhand and pray that nothing unfortunate happens to that.
Sorry to hear about that. 🙁
There are differences between the first issue and the re-issue; might want to double check which disc has the differences, before you toss the old one.
I’d like to see The soundtrack from Lovelines 1984 and Tomboy 1985 released on CD.
