Poseidon Adventure CD already sold out!
We have noticed today that the limited edition (3000 copies) Poseidon Adventure CD is already sold out at La-La Land Records. A lot of them have probably been bought up by dealers planning to resell them on, so you may still find them available elsewhere. Worth comparing prices though as we’ve seen some being sold for over 3 times the original price.

Valerie in GIANTLAND – Episode 1 “Flight 612”
We first saw Ron Lordi’s film making skills in 1994 when he produced (with a large cast of friends and family) a superb version of the Land of the Giants “The Crash”. Ron is returning to the Land of the Giants theme with a new video feature of “Valerie in Giantland”. Part one is introduced below and on YouTube. Further episodes will appear on YouTube in the coming weeks.

Faulty Night the Bridge Fell Down DVD
We have just discovered that the recent Warner Bros DVD release of The Night the Bridge Fell down has some kind of manufacturing fault and the second disk sticks at 1 hour 24 minutes into the second disk. At 1 hour 24 minutes as the characters are descending the leg of the bridge, a boat approaches the bridge and the DVD sticks on Steve Marlo’s face (he plays the character in the boat).
Warner Brothers are already aware of the fault and have reported to a contact of ours that replacement disks also appear to have the fault. We are currently trying to find out if all the Night the Bridge Fell Down DVDs produced are faulty, or just one batch. As soon as we know, we will issue an update.
If you have bought the Night the Bridge Fell Down DVD and are seeing the same problem with the second disk, our advice is to contact Warner Bros Store about returning the DVD. We understand they have been issuing credit rather than sending out replacements until the fault is rectified.
If you are planning to purchase the DVD, we would suggest contacting Warner Bros Store first to find out if the problem with defective second disks has been remedied.
3D Computer Models of the Spindrift

First time entire score is presented in STEREO! Presenting the premiere stereo release of John Williams’ (JAWS, STAR WARS, RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, SCHINDLER’S LIST) classic score to the legendary 1972 Twentieth Century Fox adventure film THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelly Winters and Red Buttons, produced by Irwin Allen and directed by Ronald Neame. Williams’ epic orchestral score expertly intertwines the film’s examination of heroism and tragedy. Produced by Nick Redman and Mike Matessino, mastered by Daniel Hersch, and remixed and sequenced by Mike Matessino, this superb-sounding special limited edition release features never-before-released Bonus Tracks, including the film versions of “The Morning After”, source cues and alternate versions of the main title. In-depth liner notes by Jeff Bond take you behind the scenes of the film and its music. This is a limited edition of 3000 Units.
For this release, the 2″ 24-track tape containing the original 35mm 6-track mag was transferred into Pro Tools, and restored and mixed with the advantages of another decade’s advance in sound processing technology.
