I believe tablecloths are forbidden in Finland.

We don't believe in tablecloths here. Our tables are just fine and beautiful without frivolous luxury items like tablecloths! Thank you very much!

Has this ever happened to anyone on here?  I've reached out to them to inquire about how to send them back, thankfully I wasn't double-billed for them. 

 

Perhaps it's Josh's copy.

Congrats @Jay and @Miguel Andrade, can we know what is your implication in this release guys?

 

I proofread the liner notes and Miguel and Maurizio helped locate articles with quotes from Williams discussing the score.

[Bespin 8,480]

Congrats guys!

 

What's the nick of Maurizio here?

Well I have now listened to the whole thing through. I continue to love this score and was again reminded how brilliant The Last Battle is with those wonderful brass solos and duets. This was the first time hearing the film version which I think I might prefer to the album one. There is a strong sense of inevitable (if somehow tender and gentle) end and closure to the tone of the whole composition which I adore, right from the first notes. I admire how Williams can conjure it up so easily. 

[Bespin 8,480]

Order Shipped. I'm the last one, huh? 😜

Yea, Spielberg's instincts for asking what part of what cues to be changed (usually to be more emotional) are pretty spot on.  I'm glad he asked for this one.

[Incanus 5,714]

It takes a bit getting used to the High School Teacher (Film Version) since it has been years since I saw the film last time and I have listened to the album edit *gasp* for 20 years now (I feel old).

I hope you took a few breaks during all those years.

Probably every now and again to pee.

Well, I think we have something of a brat pack of teens and 20-somethings going here.

There's me, Nick, John, Will, Holko....

Huh, maybe we do need to get some more young blood in here.

[Jay 37,353]

Since there was some confusion about remastering for this title, I asked Mike if he can wanted to clarify his statement and he said this:

 

Quote

What I was trying to say was that only when EQ, levels or the mixing are significantly altered should one use the term ‘remastered.’ My comment was referring to the misuse of the term by others. The sonics of Symphony Hall Boston were very specifically dealt with by Shawn Murphy for that score and it was a live mix, so there was nothing to remix and no reason to do so since Shawn and John Williams were happy with the sound.

I'm flattered that anyone here remembers me when I am not present, but I am confused as to why I've been mentioned in this case.

Also, I'm a 26-year old virgin! I'm not young! I tie my own sandals and everything!

If you hear a difference - great!

 

I doubt anyone else will though.

 

It’ll be easier to pick up the differences in the film versions where there’s actual, substantial difference.

 

For example, I thought that @Incanus made a great contribution in saying that he preferred the album version over the film version.

If you're referring to @Nick1066, he's more like 90. Not that there's anything wrong about that!

I wish I was 90 again!

No worries - 100 is the new 90!

Would it be rude of me to point out the misspelling of Janusz Kaminski’s surname on page 10 of the booklet, Jay? 😂

[Jay 37,353]

Dammit!

 

I see it now, there's an extra "i" in there.  I missed it!

Sorry Jay, that was shooting fish in a barrel.  I love this new release and the excellent liner notes. 🙂

 

P.S. Will they be sending out a corrected booklet automatically or should I be emailing them? 🤣

[Jay 37,353]

Pretty sure it's in the best interest of everybody to spend their energy on making the next Williams release happen as opposed to fixing a minor typo on the last Williams release.

[Jurassic Shark 12,072]

Besides, they need something to improve upon for the 30th anniversary release.

I can picture the press release:

Saving Private Ryan 30th Anniversary Limited Edition soundtrack album.

 

We already created a comprehensive release of this Spielberg/Williams collaboration in 2018 but now it is here again, better than ever. No new music has been added and the programme still features Williams' classic album arrangement followed by film versions of two cues from the film. But now we have fixed the typo on page 10 of the liner notes, bringing the new release ever closer to perfection. Now you can bask in the full glory of Janusz Kaminski's name, complete and unabridged, just like the famed cinematographer always intended. It doesn't get any better than this!

[Brundlefly 2,385]

And for the 40th Anniversary release they actually remaster the sound! It can't get closer to perfection until the 50th Anniversary Super Special Edition!

[Kasey Kockroach 2,344]

As much as I snark on about this release, I suppose it's somewhat similar to their releasing The Pagemaster. In that case, there wasn't much of anything new to release (begging the question why they bothered), but it turned out I really appreciated the sound remastering! Especially since I didn't own that score in the first place, and that release turned out to be a great impulse buy! So, what the hey.
