Josh500 1,615 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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? My John Williams collection as of July 2018 (just his film works, without the Boston Pops albums or concert works): Bachelor Flat (1962) None But the Brave (1965) John Goldfarb, Please Come Home! (1965) How to Steal a Million (1966) Not With My Wife, You Don’t!

Thor 7,451 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 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.

Bespin 8,472 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,488 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
