Me too Top of the line company.

Darn! Forgot about Rock a Doodle. When I selected "all in-stock titles" that one didn't show up, but now I see it on the front page. Emailed them to see if I can add to my order. Fingers crossed...

Post what they tell you, because I've got a few I'd like to add now as well.

So they said if I paid the cost through Paypal (I used credit card for my initial order) they would add it. I did it 10 min after I got the email and received no response, but the next day my "order is complete" email arrived and there was no change, so I'm waiting for Wed when my package will arrive to see it they added it or not.

Sorry about the late reply, I was on vacation.

That's ok. Thanks for the reply.

After I posted, I remembered what happened to me a couple years back.
I had asked about this myself, got the answer they would as well.

They never responded after I placed the order, but I let it slide as by that point the extra 16 Euros for shipping (on one CD) was minimal when prorated across everything that was in the other two orders. International shipping is cutting into their margins big time, so I didn't mind the modest ding.

Plus, Jose there helped me out in an earlier sale by making substitutions multiple times across several orders. He wasn't happy about it, but he did it and I'll always appreciate that extra effort.
I love Quartet.

If I do grab anything else this sale, it's going to be another 8+ order anyway.

The only frustration for me is that right now LLL has the stuff I want more, but have been holding off on. They usually have a sale in the March/April/May time frame as well- but by the time you take out what they charge for shipping (domestically), the discount is only 10-15% off what I would pay at Movie Music with their $1 shipping (on three or more).

Quartet, in comparison, is a full 25% off, which is why I usually end up convincing myself to go back to the well multiple times.

Yeah, I'm backlogged on LLL titles too. Hoping most (or all) of my titles are in stock whenever the sale arrives--if it does (I don't want to take it for granted).

Quartet is indeed a fabulous company who puts out great product. It always feels like an event for me when I get a package from them for some reason.

I'm really behind on Intrada as well as I kept waiting for Nightbreed to come to place an already sizable order and as it never did, more titles I wanted, but not quite as much, kept coming out. Something tells me as soon as I bite the bullet to make the order Nightbreed will come out the next month. So I have to decide if I feel charitable enough for the soundtrack collector community to allow it's release.

THIS! So much this. Another big frustration with their sales for me in the past has been just what is suddenly out-of-stock and between pressings.

Quartet, and these sales, exposed me to a lot of tremendous composers and scores I never would have sampled otherwise. Great stuff that I wish I had more time in the day to listen to.

MacArthur is the Intrada I'm jonesing for right now.
It's a Universal title, so I expect it will get released digitally 16/44 by Back Lot at some point. It could be priced more than 50% less than the physical CDs when it does- similar to what happened with so many other Intrada expansions like Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, Matinee, and others.
Of course, even if I wanted to order the physical copy right now, it's OoS too.

The annual sale (25% off sitewide) is back until June 15th. Free international shipping w/8 or more products.

Mostly blind (deaf?) buys for me this time. I've only seen half of my 8 buys. I find I'm rarely disappointed when I listen to any of the great maestros doing Science Fiction or Horror.

Oh man, been waiting for this one
