Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I remember now. Yeah, I kinda like that motif. By the way, that cover art=Yep. Out of these 3 scores, I find The Phantom Menace the best, even though UE kind of sucks. Anyway, this's one of my favourite scores of all time, so this was right time (since I found it used and at bargain price) to buy it, at least to have these couple unreleased highlights like Anakin's Free or Tide Turns.You have chosen...wisely. Everyone will disagree, but TPM UE is an entirely necessary CD (or CDs) to own for a JW fan. I'll be the one to say TPM > Black Sunday. At the current asking prices, you really can't go wrong. I paid 30 bucks at Borders when it came out, and I had to use birthday money I'd saved up. The editing aside, TPM UE is the best-sounding JW recording on CD. The BEST. There are more than enough highlights from TPM, one of JW's last great (and big) works, to justify owning UE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I am absolutely THRILLED at the notion that I saw the TPM UE used in a bookstore over the weekend for $6, and I didn't buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I thought it was time to get fully acquainted with the John Williams scores from the swinging 60's and received a good batch today:A Guide to the Married ManHow to Steal a Million/Bachelor Flat (Intrada)Lost in Space - 40th Anniversary Edition (Containing all JW scored episode scores)And Black Sunday is on its way!

Joe Brausam 214 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Just email them at shop @ film music society . org (without all the spaces).They said they still have a few copies left, and it's better to order it at cost from the source rather than pay the sometimes outrageous ebay prices for it.

Richard Penna 3,684 Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'd buy Revolutionary Road if I could buy the promo..This dilemma is happening a lot these days.There's a promo?Indeedy, 46 mins, which is probably the whole score.And I now can't get the theme out of my head. It's one of Newman's classic wandering pianos that never goes where you think it'll go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Total Recall is great stuff. Today I got Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I was... familiar with the score already but I managed to get the CD on eBay for only $13.49 US altogether. Now if only I could get a copy of The Voyage Home for a reasonable price, I'd have all the Trek movie scores. (I'm still kicking myself for passing one up in a store a few years back).ETA: ...but the way this year is going, ST4 might get an expanded release. Who knows!

Maglorfin 196 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Oh you lucky SOB! How did you ever manage to decide on whether to buy a mono or a stereo box, the dilemma being such a hotly-debated issue as it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Well, the stereo box has Yellow Submarine, Let It Be and Abbey Road, which the mono box doesn't. It is also slightly cheaper than the mono set.I've listened to the first three discs so far. The old tracks sound almost scarily clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's quite nice, although I really have to get used to the stereo mixes on the early albums. The vocals being on the left channel only just comes across as... odd. Especially if you realize the whole stereo mix was a gimmick for audiophiles back in the day anyway and the whole thing was recorded to be mixed in mono in the end. Guess I'm keeping some of my un-remastered mono rips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego 21 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Why keep old un-remastered mono rips? Just convert the remastered stereo cds into mono mp3sThe mono mixes are completely different from the stereo ones, not just reduction mixes, one obvious example in one of the early albums is the song "Please Please Me", in the stereo version John Lennon very notoriously gets the lyrics wrong and then almost laughs (it starts at 01:27), the mono version on the other hand is a perfect take and doesn't have this mistake. So there's good reason to keep the mono mixes and good reason to buy the mono boxset (Sgt. Pepper is better in mono). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) This, along with a few cues from his other works, is proof that Menken can score non-musicals.

Datameister 2,041 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 On an impulse, I just bought Hook. I know, it's shameful that I didn't already own it. I also ordered Black Sunday a couple days ago, shortly before Intrada listed it as out of stock. I figure these'll be too very different but very good scores to add to my collection.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hook is essential music to own if you're a JW fan. It isn't shameful not to own the original album, it's shameful we don't have every note of that score available. It's like 20 years old now. I feel like an old fart. My CD is still in perfect condition, too. I remember it originally came in a box. But then I have no idea why?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have fit 2 - 3 jewel cases in each one. Some were solid and others had a window (Varese) so you could see the artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
