    Anthology was one of my most prized possessions in middle school and it's still my favorite soundtrack release of all time.  Is that colored by nostalgia?  I mean, yeah, for sure, but I also really do love the sequencing and the sound.  And I must've read the liner notes a million times.

    Wow. This was my first soundtrack purchase ever! I got it in 1994, so I guess I've been collecting film scores for about two thirds of my life now. That's crazy.
     
    And yes, compared to the amazing expansions we have today, certain aspects of this fall short in comparison. But in the era it came out? It was incredible! Just absolutely nothing like it 
     
    I'll try to write more at some point.

    Hey y’all, I’m new here but thought I could contribute to this thread  
     
    So... from what I’ve checked myself out and seen from other threads, here’s what seems to be the case. 
     
    1: A Few Friends Save Manhattan= appears to be a part of the end credits sequence heard toward the end of the film
    2: A Baby Carriage Meets Heavy Traffic= The opening “5 years later” part is longer, and noticeably different from the film version. The rest of the track appears to be normal, though the length is shorter then that of the film version, so it probably features some minor cuts
    3: Venkman’s 6th Ave Strut: a newly re recorded concert arrangement not used in film.
    4: Order In The Court= Most likely features the first reveal of the Scoleri brothers (due to the track’s length) as well as featuring the “Putting On The Packs” and “Busting The Scoleri’s” cues too. Though the “Busting” cue appears to be a slight alternate from the film version. 
    5: He’s Got Carpathian Eyes= Seems to be the “We Got Him” Part before Vigo’s finale defeat. 
    6: The Sensitive Side Of Dana= A Re Recorded Concert Arrangement of the love theme between Peter and Dana. Also not used in the film. 
    7: In Liberty’s Shadow : Seems to contain the “ No Dent / A Symbol” cue as well as the “Tully, The Ghost Buster” cue. Due to the length, I believe it also contains another cue but I can’t be sure of which one. 
    8: Rooftop Broom Kindap= Features Oscar’s Kidnapping, though it does have a minor cut. It also appears to have another cue as well, possibly the “Museum / Slime Trap“ if I had to guess 
    9: The Scoleri Brothers = Features the “Verdict” cue and what seems to be an alternate of the “Tuck In The Guts” cue, though I believe the intro was used in the date scene later in the film.
    10: Oscar Is Quietly Surrounded = Seems to be The last of the newly re recorded cues, and is also an unused concert arrangement. 
    11: A Slime Darkened Doorway= Features the “River Of Slime ” Cue and appears to have another, though I’m not sure what. 
    12: One Leaky Sewer Faucet: Possibly an unused song written for one of the slime scenes though I can’t be sure of that. It’s definitely not in the film though. 
    13: Vigo’s Last Stand: Features “Vigo’s Demise“, though oddly enough seems to  feature more music from earlier during the confrontation? 
    14: Good With Kids= Features the “I think She Likes Me” cue, as well as the “Named After A Hot Dog” cue. The track length suggests it doesn’t feature the ending portion of that cue though. 
    15: Enlightenment: This one is pretty open and shut. It seems to be the full “Janosz Possesed” cue.
    16: Family Portrait / Finale= Features the “Fettuccine portrait” cue as well as what seems to be an unused bit of Music written for the finale. 
     
    So from what I’ve gathered from the samples and some educated guesses, it appears that we are missing some stuff which is unfortunate, but until the release is officially dropped it’s hard to say exactly what.  Nonetheless, it’s still very exciting to get this release and a majority of the highlights appear to be there!

    In recent years, absolutely.  It stands head and shoulders above the sonic wallpaper most films get these days.  Of ALL TIME?  The competition there is stiffer, but it's still a lot of fun.

    I'd be all in on a JP3 release, but I'm also on kind of a Jurassic kick lately because I've been playing Jurassic Park Evolution (stupid Steam sales, get me every time).

    I don’t know Dave Grusin, so theoretically he might be a rando or a schmoe.  I kind of doubt it, though.

    Wait, someone was supposed to pay me for that!? Rats!
     
    Contracts -- at least in my situation -- are not necessarily given expiration dates. Not that I think it would matter in this case. The rights are so specific that you can't really even shop these things around. Between the movie and likeness rights, the Tolkien Estate, and the music publishing, the book needs to be done a very specific way.
     
    Right now, I'm trying to see what comes with the Amazon show. My deep hope is that a) it sort of clears up some rights restrictions and b) it rekindles a bit of interest. We shall see. It doesn't help that the Amazon production itself is a bit of an enigma. (Note to Amazon: if you hire me as a music consultant, I will erase that last sentence.)
     
    Impossible Silence -- I don't want to get into it, but someone I was close with had a mental breakdown while we were in production. (This was not someone involved with Impossible Silence or film music at all.) Tragically, that person did not survive the ordeal. I turned my attention away from the book during that time, and it's been very difficult to regain momentum. We actually started the ball rolling again in 2019/2020, but the pandemic stopped everything once again. Compared to the suffering others experienced in both these circumstances, the derailing of a niche film music book is, of course, nothing at all. I only mention it to address the question. 
     
    Again, I still haven't given up hope. In this instance, putting a little time between writing and publishing actually makes the rights a bit easier. The few things that would had to have been cleared will all be public domain soon. So that's good.
     
    And hey, Spielberg is making a movie now that he's been trying to get going since before the days of E.T., so sometimes these things just take a long, long time!
