robthehand 3 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I don't think that's the proper order page. It works if you use this page, scroll down about 1/4 down the page until you come to the CD, and click the Buy Now link there, it adds it to your basket (at the bottom of the page).

Or should I order it on the internet?Edit;Steef, how much's the shipping?Includes Williams first solo album, John Towner touc, plus other late 50's albuns (Wolrd on a String, Johnny Desmond Swings) Does it contain the complete LPs then?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 That's doom-thinking Rob.Untill they show me pictures of a burned and mangled tape container with the words "emple of Doom" still readable, I'll just go on the assumption that they are too lazy to release it.

robthehand 3 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I really have no idea about Family Plot, but I strongly suspect the Temple of Doom tapes still exist. If they have been destroyed, I think we'd have heard about it, and I doubt they were "lost" - Lucasfilm's archives are pretty complete, aren't they?

robthehand 3 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I don't know - Laurent Bouzerau (sp?) had nothing praise for the organisation of the archives when he was talking about the Indy DVDs. But then again, Lucas has "lost" the original versions of the Star Wars films, hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted August 20, 2006 Author Share Posted August 20, 2006 There is only one Willaims composed piece, Hello, that happens to be the earliest Williams composition ever recorded. I strongly recomend it for the arrangements he wrote for the Harold Arlen album, otherwise available as a gorgeus but expensive japanese cd re-issue.But overall, this displays Williams as a soloist and acompanist.As for shipping, you may try to get it from their eBay store.http://stores.ebay.com/Absolute-DistributionThey ship CD without jewel cases, but so far they don't list this cd in there.For those interested in Williams early work as a pianist, they have this other releases:http://cgi.ebay.com/DON-FAGERQUIST-Portrai...7QQcmdZViewItemhttp://cgi.ebay.com/RUSSELL-GARCIA-HIS-ORC...7QQcmdZViewItemand an arranged track on this one:http://cgi.ebay.com/DAVE-PELL-8tet-Plays-A...7QQcmdZViewItemAnd please, stop complaining that your favourite score isn't released yet. We've been so lucky latelly, that one should just be grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 That's John Thomas Williams, an acomplished jazz painist, slightly older than John Towner Williams, who gave up his musical carreer after some of his fellow musicians begun to fall down due to drug addiction. He played with some of the greatest, like Stan Getz or Chet Baker.Being active around the same time as John Towner Williams makes is even more confusing... Any more doubts on who played what can be asked to me ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
