Thanks to everybody who bought from the new FSMCDs.com sale yesterday. We are shipping the new orders asap! Here is a spreadsheet of the current inventory. I am so excited to see Disclosure Day tomorrow for many reasons—but here’s one you might not have thought of. As far as I am aware, this film is set in the present day (or very near future). Since Jurassic Park and its sequel, Spielberg has directed 19 films. Know how many have been set in contemporary reality? Just three:

We are live with new listings at FSMCDs.com! We have slimlines and FYC CDs from Jeanne Jones’s collection, sealed FSM editions and box sets from my mom’s basement, and some neat CDs and cheapo damaged CDs from another collector.

We also have a few hundred CDs from another collector, including a bunch that were water damaged (but the disc is fine) for only a buck of three.

This is the first chance I am having to lavish well-deserved praise on Quartet’s new recording of The Ipcress File, the John Barry spy classic. The soundtrack album is a classic but much of the original score as heard in the film has never been released—and with both recordings and written scores long lost, the only way we’d ever hear it is through a painstaking reconstruction and new performance. This is exactly what Quartet’s team has done—Leigh Phillips for the reconstruct

Wow—so grateful there is a new John Williams score to discover and enjoy! I thought this might never happen again, but it’s here, and of course it’s great. (Shades of Born on the Fourth of July.) Sample on YouTube: How lucky we are!
