The Trial LP

Discuss Welles's other European films.

I just woke up, checked out eBAY for a minute, even though I despise the whole company (high fees and no communication for starters) and noticed that a French, SUPER, ULTRA-RARE LP Soundtrack for THE TRIAL with Tony Perkins on the cover went for $11.00!!!!!!!! You've got to be frikkin' kidding. I would've paid over a $100 for it. Oh well, some doofus in Kansas City will be listening to the holy-grail of soundtracks for a measely $11.00. Lucky for him, I overslept. It only had 3 bids over a 7 day period. How pathetic!

if you contact that dufos in kansas, and and get him to trade you a copy of that lp, for anything from my welles collection, i will send him a tape, and make you a cd of that lp. i have lots of commercial, and under the counter welles stuff.

I attempted to contact Mr. Doofus on "just that" and he replied, "Not interested". Lucky bastard.

DAMN..

you are right about him lucking out on that purchase. would love to hear that. i found the touch of evil soundtrack before all the touch of evil hoopla. maybe the trial could be found on the web. kane and ambersons are available.

would love to find soundtrack for cat on a hot tin roof.

in used record stores movie sound tracks from classic films go for about $80. if the film is rare, double the price. one with richard burton, forgot what movie, ALEXANDER THE GREAT maybe, was $400! of course, if you don't need it right away you can find it for a buck at a library sale.

I live just over 2 hours away from Kansas City, perhaps I should break in? Heck I'll even leave him $15 out of kindness, that's what kind of a thief I am.

I didn't get around to responding to this thread earlier, but I was going to say that people might choose their comments more carefully, given that people just might be reading them. And so I received an email from the purchaser of the Trial EP (not an LP) who asked me to clarify a couple things. Namely, and I quote from his email:

"1. The item was for the EP not the LP as stated.
2. Rather than sleeping through the auction as posted it was a mistimed attempt to bid at the last moment
3. Given the language in the email I received I have made no reply to this individual
4. I certainly did not reply "not interested"
5. Where Kansas came from I don't know.
6. The final bid was for $11.50"

Given that the email he received contained comments like "Consider yourself one, lucky, motherfucker" and so on, why would anyone expect this person to happily agree to make a copy?

It was stated:

>>And so I received an email from the purchaser of the Trial EP (not an LP) who asked me to clarify a couple things.>>

Why would the purchaser of THE TRIAL EP contact YOU out of the blue, Jeff? I think you're the purchaser!

>>Rather than sleeping through the auction as posted it was a mistimed attempt to bid at the last moment>>

I, myself, slept through the auction and just missed it. Next time, I'll be wide awake though.

>>Given that the email he received contained comments like "Consider yourself one, lucky, motherfucker" and so on, why would anyone expect this person to happily agree to make a copy?>>

Why not? Hell, I'd be a lucky mo-fo if I won the EP for dirt-cheap too.

>>The final bid was for $11.50>>

Still a frikkin' steal!

The purchaser contacted me because he lost his password to his account on the board and he asked me to post his clarifications. I've reset his account, and he can post his own comments now if he so wishes.

Dear Jeff: Sounds like a job job for Guy van Stratten.

I agree fully with your position.

I appreciate the support, but I don't see anything constructive remaining to come out of this thread, so I'm closing it.
