Incanus 5,714 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If we're talking about Far and Away, we might as well be talking about the 3 Oliver Stone movies, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July, and Nixon! Oh good call. I would love to see some kind of expanded/complete release of those 3 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Let's think about OS albums by John Williams that don't need an Expanded Edition treatment...Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan come to mind. Anything else?Rosewood? (I am not familiar enough with this score/movie to be able to tell...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 214 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 They represent some of Williams' best work, those 3 scores. BOTFOJ is my all-time favorite Williams score and a legitimate complete version of that can't come soon enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I just don't see Williams as someone that I need every album ever made, or even need to listen to every album once in order to make such a misguided, off-based, and neurotic opinion.

Josh500 1,615 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I remember I bought the OS album in Tokyo, Japan when I was 13 or so.Needless to say, back then I still listened to the CD on my Discman, and it got so scratched, I had to replace the CD a couple of years ago...Ahhhh the memories. And yeah, it's also one of Oliver Stone's best movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Accidental Tourist is Miguel's favorite.It is a masterful score that I have a very strong connection to as well. I first listened to the suite on the Music for Stage and Screen but after that I had to find the OST. And the bootlegs show that there is probably 35 to 40 minutes of score and alternates. Some of it might be repetetive but there are brilliant variations amoung the unreleased material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hmmm, if Jason says it's other, then maybe Towering Inferno?We're still getting Lincoln at the end of the year, remember.We've also got Robopocalypse in 2013 and probably the Moses biopic.

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't really see the Prequels ever getting an expanded release. Not to say I wouldn't snatch it up if it were released though! The Harry Potters are too recent for expanded releases also IMO. I think (and hope!) we get an expanded Dracula. I love the recent 2-disc set of "The Fury". Let's get the same for Dracula. Disc 1=full score, Disc 2=remastered original soundtrack album. Jaws 2 would also be very welcome.Call me crazy, but I'd really like to see better quality and/or expanded releases of Earthquake and The Eiger Sanction as well. Two slightly dated but excellent and HUGELY under-appreciated scores.There's already an excellent release of The Towering Inferno. Would a re-release really have that much more music than the incredible FSM set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Sure, you could have the complete score on disc 1 and the original LP & some alternates on disc 2I for one would STRONGLY welcome new versions of Towering Inferno, Jane Eyre, Dracula, Jaws II, The Eiger Sanction, and Earthquake as I don't have any of them on CD right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 56 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 JP fits on one disc... excluding the "Theme" and maybe the alternate take of "Journey to the Island which I doubt they'd put since it's not that good of a performance.If they wanted to include those or anything else, they'd have to make a second disc because it only just barely fits on one disc so I think they should do a JP/TLW combo pack... complete score for both. That would fit really nicely. Disc 1 (JP full score), D 2 (TLW full score), D3 (Rest of TLW, plus extras).I'd spend $40 on that!Although, I LOVE to DEATH all the 70's williams... Towering Inferno, Jaws (1 and 2), Earthquake...I'd love ALL of these heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phbart 609 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 If "Other..." means Star Wars IV, V, VI, E.T. and Indy, that's my vote!The Varese release of Dracula is a re-recording like the original MCA Jaws and E.T., isn't it? So I guess that's the one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Dracula and ET are NOT re-recordings.Only the LPs of How To Steal A Million, Earthquake, The Eiger Sanction, Jaws, and The Fury were total re-recordings recorded at a later date with a different /reduced orchestra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phbart 609 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Right! The original 1982 E.T. is partially re-recording. As for Dracula, I didn't watch the movie, so I thought it was the same schema... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJosh 892 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 There are so many great choices....I still want a nice sexy box set of all the Kraft Theatre stuff.

Omen II 1,235 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Call me crazy, but I'd really like to see better quality and/or expanded releases of Earthquake and The Eiger Sanction as well. Two slightly dated but excellent and HUGELY under-appreciated scores.You're crazy, pixie_twinkle, but I for one agree with you. I have a particular fondness for both those scores and films that defies logic. Given that both are Universal pictures, expanded releases strike me as being more likely now that other Williams Universal scores (e.g. Family Plot, Midway) have started to see the light of day in the last couple of years. Indeed I wouldn't be surprised if, as we speak, one of the labels were shamelessly plagiarising our ill-conceived observations on both scores from this august website with a view to imminent releases on 'shaving mirror' and without so much as a by your leave! Only the LPs of How To Steal A Million, Jaws, and The Fury were total re-recordings recorded at a later date than the original film sessionsBehave, Jason! The LP albums for both Earthquake and The Eiger Sanction are re-recordings too, although I do not know how soon after the film scores were recorded.

Mitchell 0 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 E.T. is a mess. There are so many variations of cues and concert suites. My playlist for that is long and I've had to use tracks from the 20th anniversary, the original album and the isolated DVD rips (which have gotten good in recent years).I voted Jurassic Park because it seems like something that would be right up La-La Land's alley. They seem especially dedicated to the 90's and I know they're fans like us and they want projects that we have long awaited. The Lost World would sell, I think, but you can never tell with our community. Heck if even a dozen of us are unemployed every soundtrack label's profits dip.I wouldn't mind Williams sanctioned expansions either. Jurassic Park is one of Williams' best album arrangements. If he gives me the rest of the music, I don't care how he Frankensteins it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
