This is already the post of the year for me. Thank you Ricard and all those involved.

Born on the Fourth of July expansion in the works?
Sandor replied to crumbs's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
You're getting my hopes up! This is one of my favorite John Williams scores and it really needs a proper release. Fingers crossed! -
On March 22 2017, I wrote (post on the first page): Somehow it was decided then that the song in question was not a Williams-song, although I pointed out that it was completely based on Williams’ theme for Pete N’ Tillie.

I took a picture of the additions to my collection after the pictures posted in the first post were taken. -

Now that we finally have the songs from Hook, I think Believe -even in its raw form- should make the cut, possibly replacing When You’re Alone.

Honestly, the songs -even if they're just demo-versions- sound much more accomplished than Thomas And The King, the only real comparable work in Williams' discography. It only makes me wonder how powerful Believe, Childhood or Mothers would have eventually become had the production steered towards the original planned musical idea.

Although the musical is far from being a favorite of mine, I’d say The Question (and its Reprise), Am I Beautiful, Improbable As Spring, Replay The Game and So Many Other Worlds are the highlights. Sadly, the cast recording just isn’t very good as the vocal performances -though technically fine- reach several levels of pure and utter annoyance. I would really like the hear the aforementioned songs performed by a different cast. It might change my opinion of Williams’ work.

You Are The Pan from the original 1991 soundtrack release has always been one of my favorite John Williams compositions. I know it was editorially created combining two cues from the score, but it worked so organically and powerful. I consider it one of Williams' smartest and most effective producing decisions. The version on the Expanded Soundtrack which featured the choral version of The Face Of Pan instead of the purely orchestral one that was included on the original soundtrack, has appeared in my Top 10 favorite Williams' pieces for years now. The only thing missing from the Ultimate Edition -but this is probably a completely personal sentiment- is the You Are The Pan/The Face Of Pan construction I've been familiar with since 1991.

SW Prequels vs Hobbit trilogy (scores AND films)
Sandor replied to WampaRat's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I’m not aware such extreme forms of opposition took place during the production. From what I read, people just didn’t take Lucas or the film very serious during its making. -

Uhm, I think everyone is pretty aware of the fact that when Lucas made the original Star Wars, he encountered a lot of opposition and questioning. When he made the prequels however, things were very, very different and Rick McCallum was no Gary Kurtz.
