Hi there, the reason of this post is try to find someone who has an original (extra?) copy of the score "Fried Green Tomatoes" by Thomas Newman and wants to trade with it. If it were in mint or near mint condition (with little to no scratches on it), would be great. The CDs I have to offer for the trade are: - The Ghost and the Darkness (Jerry Goldsmith. Sealed - Never opened) - Dangerous liaisons (George Fenton. Sealed - Never opened) - Lonesome Dove - expanded. (Basil Poledouris. Sealed - Never opened) - Esther Kahn (Howard Shore. Used. Perfect condition. Almost unplayed). Feel free to e-mail me at: jorge_mang@yahoo.es Thanks

Chinatown? Wow. Is that OOP and rare already? How time passes quickly... Very rare, very expensive, and (my copy is) very 'lost in the post' apparently.

Sorry to hear that, Michael. The ironic fact is that I almost bought it 6 years ago (several times. I had it on my hands several times!!) and I never decided to purchase it. I knew it had a jazzy feeling to it, and as I´m not a huge fan of jazz, I left it on that shelves. If I had known.... Oh, well. More important things happen in this Life

Sorry to hear that, Michael. Thanks. Actually, it is probably not quite lost; it's just taking a bloody long time to arrive! The ironic fact is that I almost bought it 6 years ago (several times. I had it on my hands several times!!) and I never decided to purchase it. I knew it had a jazzy feeling to it, and as I´m not a huge fan of jazz, I left it on that shelves. If I had known.... Oh, well. More important things happen in this Life I think we've all done something like that at one point or another. For me, it usually transpires in the form of waiting to purchase a soundtrack when it's announced, thinking that it won't sell out very quickly. The Varese Club release of Silvestri's Predator is one I'm particularly annoyed with myself about. However, as you say, there are more important things to worry about in life.

I traded Fried Green Tomataes away several years ago. It wasn't really necessary, but I didn't like it that much. Nowadays I keep all originals I buy. I am still quite surprised about Chinatown though. Popular movie, popular score, got it at a discount price years ago in a regular store.

Pity that you don´t trade with originals any longer, Armin. ;D How on Earth did you happen to trade with Fried Green Tomatoes? Moreover, why didn´t you like it that much? Is as bitter-sweet as anything Newman has done, and still was melodic and orchestral, something I really like about his music (I appreciate his sound-orchestral-colour-experimentations, but far less than his melodic senses).
By the way, as music player....which are you favorite composers? Score composers? Classical composers?

The thing is that I'm not selling my CDs, so there is not much difference whether I have Fried Green Tomatoes, Predator, or whatever other ultra rare CD. A CD is a CD, and it's worth the average price of a CD.
As for my favourite composers it's amix between various styles of music. Obviously from an intellectual point of view classical composers are in the lead, from the sentimental side film music, and from the emotional one latino styles. My top favourites, in no special order because they're not comparable, are Richard Strauss, Mahler, Bruckner (basically post-romanticism), Astor Piazzolla (for tango nuevo), and hard to tell at the moment for film music.

Secondspin.com has stuff like Chinatown once in awhile. Before Christmas last year they had multiple copies of Star Trek II, a copy of Mancina's Twister, Morricone's The Thing, Chinatown, etc., etc. Problem is they were all over $30 used. I think they were selling Chinatown for about $60. Someone bought it though (as well as all the others I mentioned).

I know what you mean, Armin Actually I only can think of 1 single CD that I wouldn´t mind selling. The others, even the "errors" (those which disappointed me) are worth preserving, if only - sometimes - for the emotional implication. I like (love?) R. Strauss, have mixed feelings about Mahler (love his 1st, enjoy his 5th, and I have never listened properly to the rest. They are at my parent´s home) and though I listened to Bruckner´s symphonies (it was a present), never really warmed to his style. I have to try harder. Never listened to his masses, though. Piazzolla...I have listened something, but it wasn´t my cup. Like tangos, though. In fact...I like folk music (wherever it´s from) if properly orchestrated. Sometimes, even without orchestrations. There´s something about folk music that makes it "heart touching". Enough for me (well, I have doubts about asian and north-american proper folk music. When I see them banging their drums and singing without any sense of melody to my ears....ugggh) Nate, thank you for the information. I´ll check it
