As I posted elsewhere, no doubt when the Region 2 version of season 5 is released, "Georgia On My Mind", amongst other songs, will be omitted from the soundtrack along with the Region 1 version.
But what's worse, it was on the Region 2 version of MIA! So when Sam leaps back we're going to have an obvious continuation flaw which will be worse than not having the song there in the first place!
Ok maybe I'm getting a little carried away with this, but lets face it, it's unlikely that we're going to get this re-issued in the future with original music intact.
I suggest, that while we possibly have still have time, that we voice our opinion on this in hopes of getting the original episodes. Universal and Playback gave us that to start with when it came to the first releases on Region 2, but have obviously opted to take the easier route of releasing the same material as in the U.S.
Let's let them know we won'nt buy it. Of course most of us will, but they don't have to know that.
The fly by Quantum Leap fans that probably added to their original sales on the Season One and Two releases have no doubt sold their boxsets on ebay and lost interest. All they have left are us. And we should be quick to point out that people outside of the U.K have bought the sets for the pure reason of them having the original music. We can threaten to cut their sales by half. Lets do this! I'm not in the habit of making a fuss about most things, and of course I have more important concerns, but for the sake of a series I have'nt stopped watching in nearly 20 years, I think it's worthwhile for one last effort to get what we want? Especially when we're forking out upto £35 for the half-assed attempt they're offering us..
So, a petition? Emails? If Al can find us the address lets get it going, before being dissapointed yet again in the last seconds of the greatest show ever!
P.s: if you have a myspace account join my Quantum Leap group there and we can do the same thing.. here's the link: http://groups.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=groups.groupProfile&groupID=103850500&Mytoken=0B1ACADA-0C76-4710-9559F43C1DC1CB231322080
