Here it is, just posing for a photo.

The booklet specifically mentions how the tapes were found and the challenge to bring the sound up to date.

That font! So 80s, early 90s. I kinda miss it, in all its crudeness.

[Malte Müller]

Yeah, the font they used on thte old release was really classic. The days before you did everything digitally!

The Omen trilogy deluxe editions came out when? 2000? 2001?
I only got the one of The Final Conflict and regret it today a little.

They came out in 2001 and had the covers of the concurrently released OMEN Trilogy DVD movies.

I just found out that the CDs by my three favorite composers – Williams, Goldsmith and Christopher Young – make up almost exactly half om my collection – 675 out of 1346. So I guess my answer to Thor’s question, “Are you a moth or a cat” is pretty much “50/50”. 😉

Here’s the “favorite composers” section of my collection. That’s Goldsmith in the upper five + 1/3 shelves (below the box sets), the next four are Williams, and Young has the bottom two. Williams and Goldsmith are keeping a close watch on it from the left side (guess I should find a good picture of Young also).

[Malte Müller]

I have not counted but on the phyiscal side of the collection Goldsmith and Williams probably also lead by far (probably in total I would guess).

I see you wisely kept some room for more and the true fan has photos of his favorite composers ;-). Some now 30 years ago I did draw a portrait of Goldsmith after a photo you all surely know as a study (carcoal on black paper – Insta sadly cut off the top, probably my mistake): https://www.instagram.com/p/C9scX8dtAyK/

That’s a very nice portrait of him – kudos! 🙂

It’s a bit confusing, since we have TWO threads on collections. The other one is the more “serious” (wherein we actually posted photos of our collections awhile back, like Nils just did), while this is more about odd facts and figures. But that’s okay, there will always be some cross-breeding between threads.

But I envy your shelf system, Nils. Less need for dusting behind, which I have to with my Ivar IKEA system. 🙂

I think it’s inevitable when you’re a moth of certain artists, that they will take up an inproportionate amount of your collection. Williams, Elfman and Goldenthal fill out 3.5 of my shelves, out of 9 total.

Thanks. The photo original is still my favorite photo of him.

Your fault as you created both 😉 Of course we theoretically could join them by moving the comments.

[Thor Joachim Haga]

No, Nick created this one. I think it’s fine to have two with different “angles”.

Nice drawing!

I know – but the “odd facts and figures” here was the 50/50 distribution between favorite and other composers. And I just put in a photo of the favorites for good measure. 🙂

[Thor Joachim Haga]

True. Never forget that I’m going to inherit your copy of GOODBYE MR. CHIPS. 😉

Ha ha. OK – deal! 😊

[Malte Müller]

No, Nick created this one.

A topic not by you? Unbelievable 😉

[Nicolai P. Zwar]

That perfectly qualifies for this thread. 🙂

And that’s some nice shelf, with many quite nice box-sets. I do have quite a few of those, but not all.
