this is match girl who has a reason to be here!
okay, i thought this was part mean, part ironic, and most disappointing:
i went to my local record store and saw that they finally restocked the soundtrack section! woot! there was one copy of sleepy hollow and i scooped it up and bought it (along with ramones, adam ant, at the drive in, but this is unimportant).
when i got home, i tore open the sleepy hollow case to stare face to face with WINDTALKERS! by horner! whyyyyy??? it’s a sleepy hollow case, with a sleepy hollow leaflet, and nicholas cage’s ugly mug on the disc! how could this happen?
now, the funny thing is that it was horner of all people.. but that’s old news.

I have just had a similar experience. I ordered Elfman’s Mission: Impossible soundtrack off Amazon and got this crappy, 5-track techno version by Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen. I am very disappointed.
Was your copy of SLEEPY HOLLOW *factory* sealed? If not, the record store could be selling used discs or someone returned HOLLOW with a WINDTALKERS disc.
SLEEPY HOLLOW and WINDTALKERS were released by two different labels, so it’s 100% unlikely that it’s a pressing plant error.

Not to meantion that they where released years apart

well, i found the disc in the “soundtracks” section and not the “used” section and it cost as much as a new album, so i’m pretty sure it was facotry sealed, wouldn’t you say? i just can’t understand how two different labels could mix discs like this! i’ve been waiting for ‘having enough money’ and ‘available disc”s paths to cross and what happens?? horner happens. and nicky cage’s ugly mug.

Just because it was in the “soundtracks” section doesn’t mean it was factory sealed. Was it in fact, factory sealed? Was their a label on the top spine of the jewel case that had the album’s name, label, distributor, etc.?

Ummm…Did you take it back to the store and get your money back?

I own that record shop! It was me!!! …wah, ha, ha, ha, ha (evil laugh)!!! Joking, of course…ahem, yes, that’s what I want you to think!
I’m so happy, I bough Planet of the Apes today (WOO HOO!). That stupid Paul Oakey-dokey guy’s song kinda ruins it though, oh well. Jeez, I’ve had the weirdest day. Let me tell you about it. OK. I’ve got a job, right? Not much cop, but it’s alright. I deliver leaflets. Well, I was walking down this street and I heard the sound of bagpipes. I looked around and I couldn’t see anything looking remotely like the sound of bagpipes, so I searched again. …nope, still couldn’t find it! I walked further on, sound still blaring. I walked towards this place called Waterloo Gardens and before me stood a guy wearing a kilt playing the bagpipes! What the hell was that all about?! The funny thing is, it was like I was the only one who noticed it. People were walking around naturally, and there’s me…”There’s a guy, in the park, with a kilt, playing the bagpipes…”

OMG, Lexi, I love The Queens of the Stone Age! That band is so cool! Sorry, just thought I’d tell ya.
sh!! ryan wouldn’t appreciate you talking about other bands ;P
anyway, yeah, it had the label on the rim that said “elfman- sleepy hollow”. i’ll probably take it back tommorow..your paul okey-dokey(nfold) did a good job with his remix i think. well, aside from the little annoying quotes from the film that he threw in. those damndable things kept reminding me i was enjoying the score of such a tedious film. why didn’t they use the mix they had for the end credits? (same mix, minus quotes.)
lexi: who is coming after this frankenweenie character. gimme my ambum!!
aw.. my html mess din’t work..
well, that factory seal doesn’t mean squat. you can just lift the jewel cover up bottom to top and do whatever you please to it and snap it back on again and it looks as if noone’s ever messed with the label. was it plastic wrapped with the little promo and price stickers the factory put on like “features the new hit song…” ? What I really hated were those holographic band-aid shaped stickers they put on the side of the jewel box in the early 90s that you could never get off, and always left sticky residue behind forever…
I’m guessing someone wanted Sleepy Hollow for some reason and found a way to switch it so they wouldn’t have to pay a “new “cd price. Someone has Sleepy Hollow in a used Windtalkers case. pretty crappy…I hope the store gives you your money back. that’s very odd.

Yeah, Jo Elfgirl is right… I’ve had a similar problem when I tried to purchase a DVD. I was in the checkout line to buy it and the checker noticed a slice in the plastic where the case pops open. She said she couldn’t sell it to me, and then proceeded to show me why. It was empty! I guess shoplifter-type people slice the plastic and get the disc out of the box somehow… how lame. Anyway, it was all good for me because a few months later I went back and found a “Special Edition Version” of the same movie.
