Perseverance Records re-issuing The Witches Of Eastwick OST (La-La Land Records can make expanded version once it sells out)

[crumbs 14,300]

Whoops! That was meant for Grindr!

 

And nah, I usually just rip using Windows Media Player.

[Bespin 8,478]

Get EAC now it's free, stupid hobbit.

[crumbs 14,300]

Are you calling me a homosapien?

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

A hobosapien.

[crumbs 14,300]

I just want Perseverance Records to go fuck themselves and hand over the licence to a competent company who can expand this score properly.

[Jurassic Shark 12,028]

Then you wouldn't have anything to look forward to when you grow old.

[crumbs 14,300]

I'm old enough. I've already waited 2 and a half years for a fucking expansion of The Force Awakens. What more do you want from me?

[Jurassic Shark 12,028]

I want you to change your annoyingly dynamic avatar.

[crumbs 14,300]

Why haven't you changed your avatar to an animated gif of the same shot? Would be very annoyingly dynamic.

Are you joking? That avatar reminds me of my last hour, when I'm at work- franticly trying to get all paperwork, done in time.

[Jurassic Shark 12,028]

Such good memories...

[crumbs 14,300]

They do say 4pm-5pm on a Friday is the most productive hour of the week. Funny that.

Worse, for whatever dumb reason on my CD, when I try to rip the final track of the Concord, it fucks up and glitches.

Holly shit!  I get that exact same problem- in the form of loud "record scratch" noises.  Same thing with the final tracks of The Lost Works OST and the final tracks of KOTCS.  

[crumbs 14,300]

Don't think I've got the same issue with my KOTCS CD but my TLW OST CD is scratched all over the place and I doubt it would rip cleanly at all if I tried. Thankfully LLL solved that problem!

 

But yeah, the final track of Raiders Concord is just impossible to rip. Some weird copyright protection or something. Just another stupid fuck-up in a long line of fuck-ups from a clueless record label who should've given up the rights to those scores years ago to a competent company like LLL.

It is not really a matter of the company, when you have MM. If the labels would hand him around like hippies do with a joint or desperados with a slut, every release would be perfect - always.

C'mon, the guy doesn't even know when The Cowboys overture was first released on album.

Are you ripping in FLAC? if so, you might try ripping to WAV, that helped when I was ripping King of Kings.

What would be the JW " true bootlegs" then ?

 

Sugarland Express, Black Sunday, Family Plot, Born of the Fourth of July, Last Crusade, Hook, Far and Away, and probably a few others I'm forgetting all had recording session leaks that first went around as bootleg CDs.

 

1941 and Witches of Eastwick were just fan edits of their DVD iso scores sold as bootlegs.

 

Jane Eyre and Space Camp were just hard to find / OOP CDs paired with rerecording sold as bootlegs.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

Far and Away vol 2.

[Jay 37,287]

Thanks, added!

THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE, and CE3K both had boots.

The CE3K OST has the quality of a boot.

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Schindler's List had bootlegs, too

[Pellaeon 593]

Are you referring to the 2008 Concord pre-release leaked version of Raiders?

And Matessino needs to fix all the sloppy, lazy issues with that expansion. No sweetener in the Indy's First Adventure being an obvious example.

 

Before we get complete Indy scores, I'm sure Disney will hire Shawn Murphy and his team of incompetent interns to "refurbish" the OSTs.

I'm unaware of a Poseidon Adventure bootleg.  Got any more info?  I assume it pre-dated the 1997 FSM CD?

 

The CE3K boot is an interesting one, as its not a recording sessions leak but it DOES contain material that wasn't on the 1998 expanded CD that came out just prior to it....

Raiders was only traded as mailed CDRs or mp3 files, I'm not aware of a pressed boot?

 

Same for Schindler, the 4CD recording session leak was just traded flac files, not a pressed CD that I'm aware of.

That leaked on demonoid.com as a torrent, there was no pressed CD.

[Brundlefly 2,385]

The most notorious bootleg is Hook, for it's ahead of the LLL in a few aspects.

The old Hook, TLC and Botanicus Theme, which all had a similar awful sound, seem to be sourced from cassettes.

If I'm not mistaken, I think @DigitalfreakNYC had a pressed version of that boot

[Jay 37,287]

You have it backwards, he CREATED the Raiders boot, after he RECEIVED a CDR with the unreleased Raiders and Last Crusade cues on it.  The Last Crusade cues had a couple more than the Vol 2 pressed boot, from what I recall, and the Raiders selection was JUST what wasn't on the DCC.  Anyways, the Raiders "boot" he made (by combining the DCC with the unreleased cues from the boot) was, of course, just a fan edit mailed out on CDRs, not a pressed boot.

[crumbs 14,300]

Is there a TLC boot that doesn't sound like crap? The only versions I've heard have awful sound quality, ala casette tape transfers.

[Jay 37,287]

Nope they all sound like crap.

[Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488]

It was all we had. Still, it was like looking around at an arm museum with the lights turned off.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Anyone else get lost in it?

I know you're referring to films, but don't forget Amazing Stories: The Mission that was also included on the Last Crusade bootleg.

It's not very good. I bought mine ahem (cough) I mean, I listened to it in 1996. It's not brilliant, but, pre-FSM, its all we had.

[thx99 1,740]

A pressed bootleg of Heartbeeps saw the light of day as well.  And I had it on cassette prior to that.

No, Intrada released "The Mission" on Anthology 3 of its 3-volume Amazing Stories releases.  I was merely pointing out that it was also included on the Last Crusade bootleg.

Believe it or not, the Poseidon bootleg sounds better than the two subsequent official releases.

Don't forget the early 90's bootleg containing selections from Williams' unused The Color Purple score. Full of tape hiss 

[crumbs 14,300]

Well duh, everyone has that bootleg. I keep it in the same folder as the bootleg of his unused Ready Player One demos.

a clueless record label

 

Concord is a good label,  don't be dissin' it just 'cause you didn't get a 5 second stinger crammed in a disc so you can say it's complete! 

 

John Williams produces an album: "I really want to create a satisfying listening experience by having music play in an order outside of the film, combining tracks where I think it's appropriate."

 

Soundtrack fans: "FUCK YOU! Just write your music and hand it off to someone who knows how produce an album we WANT!"

 

Mike Mattesino produces Close Encounters of the Kind:  "Hey guys, we're gonna do something a little different here...usually, we like to produce albums where the music plays in the order of the film, and we include every cue we can find...But here, we're going to try creating a satisfying listening experience by having the music play in an order outside the film, and not worry about including every cue in the main program for the sake of completeness."

 

Soundtrack fans: "Wow, how interesting! That's such a novel approach, I'm very excited to hear how it will turn out! Thank you Mike Mattesino! Please have my babies!"

[Holko 9,499]

Their Indy releases are horrible, though and scream "halfassed". The box would have been OK for the 90s as a sort of companion to the SW Anthology, maybe.

 

The problem with your example is that CE3K DOES include every cue separately across the two discs so you can still do a C&C.
