Other people are selling on Amazon. I did order it but haven't recieved an email about it and since it's just out I don't mind giving them a week or so to get it in stock and know that if they do manage it, I will get it at the low price. There is lots of places stocking it in the UK just now, one would have got it to me tomorrow but they want £29.99 for it and then another £2.99 postage and they still have the Day of The Dead soundtrack for £34.99 so if they still have that in stock then after a week or so I've no doubt they will have Rosemary's Baby in stock too. It will be easy to pick a copy up.
It's unfortunate that the limited nature of many soundtracks also increases the price. I've no doubt it's a great set and worth every penny but the prices some stores are charging for it are way too high and the reason they do it and get away with it is because of it being limited. Amazon need to honour the price you order at so it's worth just giving them time because they need to look at your order, someone has to look at it and enquire about it and if they can't get it then that's fine but it wont go unnoticed. Someone somewhere will look for the distributors of that item and see if it can be ordered in.
I don't mind going to record shops but the fact is, what I want, record stores don't stock and it's not all their fault, it's just that what I want isn't being pressed to vinyl by anybody now so what I want doesn't exist and I know some of you on here are against this completely but I don't mind bootleggers. I've got a full shelf of stuff from the last year, all bootlegged, all black and clear and coloured and everything else you can name, all cheap to buy full of music I like because the record labels don't do it.
If my local record stores would have stocked Rosemary's Baby or anything like soundtracks I would have went there and bought it from them but I know they don't have it because anytime I asked about other soundtracks the answer was no. Apparently David Bowie 7"s is more important which is fine. Give the people what they want I guess.
[edited out my rant on postage prices]
But I'm sure it will land before long. Much rather give those shops my business these days, the physical-music market may well be blooming but Amazon has been/is absolutely killing it frankly: you can often buy something from Amazon...which is less than the dealer price to an indie music store! :$ Well done on scoring the super-special version btw! Always good to have a yank in the bank
