Indiana Jones: The Soundtracks Collection (OFFICIAL thread)

[Delorean90 42]

D'oh! Now I realize the biggie that appears to be missing (if "The Well of the Souls" is indeed comprised of both parts) is "The Mummy Crypt." Perhaps with "Indy Rides the Statue" we'll finally found out how those two versions/segments of the adventure theme material was supposed to work.

-Ben, who thinks the DCC track titles were better, and thinks "Through the Wall" owns the title "Indy Rides the Statue"

[MattyO 62]

OMFG

this is a GOOD sign.

If someone went through the trouble of putting "government agents" on the already perfectly acceptable Raiders c.d. , I have hopes that ToD and LC are expanded too. A "regular " music producer would not think of adding the missing Raiders cues that only film score geeks know about ,this sounds like the work of someone at FSM or the likes.

My thoughts exactly!

[King Mark 3,631]

however, if the only new music on this set are those 3 Raiders cues ,I will not buy it.

I wouldn't put it beneath Lucasfilm to only release 4 minutes of previously unreleased music as a marketing gimmic.

K.M. letting his cynicism seep back in

K.M. letting his cynicism seep back in

Yes...let it flow through you...

[King Mark 3,631]

The ONLY reason I can think of now of no expanded ToD and LC is the whole re-use fee/studio orchestra deal with those 2 scores which is not a problem with Raiders

[Bryant Burnette 654]

Well, I'm excited about this. Hopefully, I won't have to sell a kidney to afford it.

Which is why the PR seems to indicate they are only going to be available in a limited edition set. Re-use fees = Far lower for limited editions.

[Trent B 337]

Booo! Peter Kelly just posted on Movie Music he said the box set will contain digipacks.

[King Mark 3,631]

Ricard seems pretty certain ALL 3 scores will be expanded by his announcement on the main page

Now LIMITED RELEASE .Does this mean some of us will get the shaft if we don't order in the first 2 minutes of release or can't find a store that sells it?

[John Crichton 4]

Well, I'm excited about this. Hopefully, I won't have to sell a kidney to afford it.

Yes, that's my next concern.

They don't bother me per se, I just don't like how they don't fit in with the rest of the CD shelf.

I doubt it will sell out in a 24 hour period like most limited releases. I'm sure it will be around for a bit just not forever.

I would guess that its only available online. but who knows.

Just bookmark this one. http://www.moviemusic.com/soundtrack/indianajonescollection

this is perhaps the first time I do not care about the price whatsoever .I will pay up to 200$ if all 3 are expanded.

[Nick Parker 3,040]

"Digipaks" are the type of casing that was used for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, correct?

[John Crichton 4]

Well, neither would I if I was pulling in dentist money. Some of us are on a tight month to month budget here.

If thats the case---uhh---CHRISTMAS(INSERT OTHER HOLIDAY HERE) PRESENT?

[King Mark 3,631]

Should this be available from SAE?

[John Crichton 4]

I wouldn't mind if it was available on Amazon, I'd save a few bucks with free shipping.

[King Mark 3,631]

You know it's a good thing that Indy 4 performed well at the B.O. That probably tipped the scales in our favor

[tjguitar 0]

Should this be available from SAE?

of course it will.

Yes that is correct. Though I guess with it being contained in a box style set I guess the digipacks.

I don;t care about the packaging .I opened my KotCS album once to rip it...actually,I didn't even have to do that.

[Trent B 337]

Good point KM, once I rip the scores they're going back into the box. After I get a CD I rip it to my hard drive as lossless and put it back in its case.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

Why would you care about packaging? There's nothing wrong with digipacks, they're the same size as regular CD's.

[King Mark 3,631]

also ,if you take the FSM Superman Box Set , your also screwed if you damage the custom made jewel cases.

Very true. I'm glad I take care of my CD's better these days.

[King Mark 3,631]

I think it was our e-mails to the Concord marketing secretary that got those things released

Bet it wasn't.

[Koray Savas 2,251]

I bet a monkey throws poo.

[King Mark 3,631]

Well,right now I hate that we only have the Raiders track list and that the one who wrote the press release can't write properly

[tjguitar 0]

Maybe it was purposely confusing cause of your e-mail's

[King Mark 3,631]

I didn't send mine. It was only a MB rant

[ymenard 54]

Could this be the first time John Williams is correctly treated for te quality of his works since... a decade? (the Star Wars SE)

Too many unknown information about this set, but _obviously_ somebody has been listening

[Trent B 337]

I really doubt emails from here is the reason why this set is released. Concord probably would have cared less about emails from a bunch of Williams fans.

[Henry B 50]

Sheesh, guys. This would still be awesome even if, for some weird reason, only Raiders was expanded. "Government Agents" (I mean, "Washington Men") is amazing.

[King Mark 3,631]

what,you' d buy the whole box for that cue? Not me.

[Vaderbait1 1]

Something about the wording in their release makes me think ToD and LC won't be complete. Maybe expanded. They don't say, and if they WERE complete or expanded, you'd think they'd explicitly state it, instead of making you infer it by the way they worded the sentence which is ambiguous.

EDIT: Say, if this Concord thing is a hit....does this open the possibility for the Prequel scores?

[Ollie 1,059]

Well if TOD & LC are only expanded you are looking at about 39 min for TOD and 20 min for LC

You're forgetting FSM's Superman Box as well as Jaws and CE3K.

[scissorhands 16]

You're forgetting FSM's Superman Box as well as Jaws and CE3K.

Those need to be reworked. The sound quality leaves much to be desired... all I can hear is hiss. Mastering technology has advanced so much that some scores from that period (Alien) sound as if they had been recorded today.

[Ollie 1,059]

Well so does the original trilogy but the point was that Williams has received great treatment as far as getting some of his well known works since the SE released.

[King Mark 3,631]

Lets just say that ToD is only expanded ,but that "score experts" from FSM the likes were consulted ,then it is likely that all the great unreleased cues will be on it .There is some music in the middle part of the movie that is not so interesting and could be dropped .There's also a few uninteresting cues in LC they could drop

[tjguitar 0]

what,you' d buy the whole box for that cue? Not me.

raiders is available seperately.

Uhhh...BLUE BOX?

Well if TOD & LC are only expanded you are looking at about 39 min for TOD and 20 min for LC

Even if they are "only expanded", it doesn't necessarily mean they are limited to 1 disc each?

[King Mark 3,631]

The more I think about it ...they seem to have put a lot of work in Raiders .Re-sequencing ,adding cues ,remastering ,when they had the DCC version they could have just tossed out. Seems like a major restoration . Definately not the usual Sony Classical "minimal effort" botch job. Makes no sense they didn;t do it with TOD and LC.

[ST-321 4]

this is perhaps the first time I do not care about the price whatsoever .I will pay up to 200$ if all 3 are expanded.

Agreed. Where do I order?

[King Mark 3,631]

And as bonus cues we get Williams new arrangements of Marion's Theme ,Irina's Theme and Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra

[Ollie 1,059]

Well if TOD & LC are only expanded you are looking at about 39 min for TOD and 20 min for LC

Even if they are "only expanded", it doesn't necessarily mean they are limited to 1 disc each?

That's just going off of everyone's assumptions that the set will only consist of 4 discs.

If you go with 2 discs each for TOD & LC then you will be able to do a complete version of each score.

[Bryant Burnette 654]

Well, I'm excited about this. Hopefully, I won't have to sell a kidney to afford it.

Yes, that's my next concern.

this is perhaps the first time I do not care about the price whatsoever .I will pay up to 200$ if all 3 are expanded.

I don't care about the price, either. I do care about actually having whatever number of dollars it will cost me. If I literally cannot afford it, well, that sucks for me, doesn't it?

I'd guess it's going to be about $150, and if that's the case, somebody will probably be selling me one.

Thank goodness Sony didn't get the rights to these. And I seem to remember a lot of negative reaction around here when Concord was announced. So much for that.
