Which essentials are still missing from my John Williams collection?

I own these John Williams soundtracks. Which essentials are still missing from my collection? 

 

In most cases, I own both the OS album and, if available, the expanded or complete edition(s) as well.

 

But my collection is not complete. A few scores, especially from the 60s and 70s, are still missing. Any essentials, which I should definitely and urgently try to get a hold of? What do you think?

I don't have any comments as far as 'expanded issues' go, as they are practically non-existant to me.

 

But in terms of OSTs and titles that are completely missing from your list that IMO are must-haves for a serious JW collector?

 

Probably these two: IMAGES and CINDERELLA LIBERTY.

Believe me, Marian, there's nothing "original" about ALWAYS.

The main theme is just heartachingly lovely.

It's the fun about collecting. What is less fun, is that so many releases where printed in so little quantities and are now OOP.

 I never said it was bad, I just said it was unoriginal.

But but but... "Always" is not supposed to be the last CD you'll add to your JW collection.

 

It's not the among the firsts you'll get, but not among the last ones either. 😉

The very last JW CD I will buy, will be STORIA DI UNA DONNA, because I suspect that that will be the very last JW OST released.

 

I doubt we'll see it in our lifetime. :(
