The Force Awakens The Force Awakens Disney Records OST

[PetePan 163]

Do we expect that the score also will be available on Spotify or Deezer on Friday immediately?

[Jay 43,044]

Yes.

[Jay 43,044]

Just got a shipping notice from Amazon

[JediJon 0]

I have the recording sessions, if anyone is interested.

I'd be interested in those!

[Jay 43,044]

[Taikomochi 1,335]

I have the recording sessions, if anyone is interested.

I saw users at the place that rhymes with Pinal Pantasy Prine discussing how some user at JWFan had the leaked recording sessions. LOL

[King Mark 3,848]

Just got a shipping notice from Amazon

Maybe they'll stop the mailman and try to take the c.d. back

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[crocodile 9,231]

I just got a notification the CD will be delivered today. Yay!

(I haven't heard the score outside of film).

Seriously! No tracklist on the back cover?

[crocodile 9,231]

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077]

Now to the musically literate on this forum, can you hear on what tracks JW is conducting and on what tracks Ross is conducting.

Because I can't, and I doubt it's actually possible to discern the difference.

[crocodile 9,231]

Ross has proved to be an excellent conductor of Williams' music anyway. COS performance was top notch.

You are absolutely right. We won't know until more information comes out. I don't know if the OST booklet says something about this, or is just what Karol posted.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077]

I doubt the booklet will specify more, or that any info about who conducted what will be released in an official capacity any time soon. maybe 10 years from now, in a Mike Mattesino produced complete score release!

[crocodile 9,231]

It doesn't specify more. In fact it doesn't really say much more, except for the other credits. No musicans listed, mostly pictures.

Karol

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077]

No collectible screensavers?

[Scarpia 132]

Oh, no. I feared this could happen.

Who wants a picture booklet in a day when you can easily access to thousands of pictures through the internet? I don't mind for some pretty ones, but a full booklet of them in such an anticipated score is really a waste.

I still cannot wait to have it in my hands! Although I really don't know when that will be.

[Will 2,353]

No musicans listed

Darn. I thought doing listing them was standard practice nowadays.

[crocodile 9,231]

Maybe the deluxe packaging has some extra information?

Karol

[fommes 161]

No pics of the deluxe packaging yet then?

[Jay 43,044]

Wait it comes in a jewel case in the UK?

I think in the US even the standard is a digipak!

[crocodile 9,231]

The deluxe is a digipak. Strangely enough.

Karol

[Jay 43,044]

Yes the deluxe is a digipak worldwide.

[RuBen_Kenobi 20]

I work in the biggest record store in Madrid (Fnac Callao) and tonight, the soundtrack arrived. Sorry because I have not pics of it, but I had the three different editions in my hands. They are almost the same... The back cover is BLACK, with NOTHING in it: without the titles of the tracks, only the "space" with a couple of stars and the Disney logo. Funny that the spanish version has all the letters in spanish. The special edition is a digipack (and it is 2 euros more expensive than the regular one: 17,99 and 15,99). And the deluxe edition is a fraud: the same as the special, but with a special cover and 2 cards, and it cost 22,99! 5 more euros! The booklet change the cover and the back, but the same number of pages.

I didn´t read the JJ text, and the credits neither. But in the tracklist it credits with an asterisk that the Main Titles, The March of the Resistence and the End Credits are conducted by Gustavo dudamel (I think it says guest conductor).

[Jay 43,044]

Thanks for that!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,077]

They still sell CD's in the store in Spain?

[Jay 43,044]

Just read JJ's note in the booklet. Wow, it's really gushing. More so than anything he's ever written about Giacchino.

[Incanus 5,858]

Yeah. Johnny must have felt his cheeks burning when reading that.

[SteveMc 2,678]

For anyone that hasn't heard the soundtrack and/or won't get the cd, American Public Media might stream it, or at least some of it tomorrow afternoon.

[tannhauser 101]

Are there analysis-type liner notes or just the JJ bit?

[crocodile 9,231]

Just that note. At least in the standard booklet.

Karol

[Will Tasker 21]

I'm VERY pleased to hear Gustavo Dudamel conducted some of it! I'm a great admirer of his.

[Jay 43,044]

Just that note. At least in the standard booklet.

Karol

The Deluxe Edition supposedly has more pages, but I'd bet its just pictures and no useful information.

[BloodBoal 7,544]

[Wojo 2,458]

So much for pre-ordering only on Monday. My shipment is delayed until Tuesday. I won't be able to enjoy this for four more days. Jeepers H Sheist.

[mrbellamy 7,455]

Ross has proved to be an excellent conductor of Williams' music anyway. COS performance was top notch.

Karol

It's never even slightly in the back of my mind when I listen to it that Williams was never on the podium for COS. It's a hell of a performance.

Well, it has actually started!

lol

Sucks to be you!

[Jay 43,044]

Karol, what image is shown on the reverse of the back cover, IE under the CD when you take the CD out?

[Bespin Copilot 9,758]

Still no shipping date confirmation for my order on Amazon.ca.

I think they are overwhelmed.

[mstrox 7,246]

Still no shipping date confirmation for my order on Amazon.ca.

I think they are overwhelmed.

Sometimes on CD preorders, I don't get shipping notices from US Amazon. They still show up on my doorstep by the end of Friday.

[Demondm810 437]

Wow. Really great words from Abrams!

[SimJD 3]

Karol, what image is shown on the reverse of the back cover, IE under the CD when you take the CD out?

The Australian version is only the standard, so no special or delux available, no digipack and (worse) nothing embossed

[BLUMENKOHL 1,087]

Don't worry, this will leak by this coming Friday or Monday.

This leaked Monday night!

[Jay 43,044]

Nope, it was Tuesday night.

Wow! Just got home from seeing the movie, and the package from Amazon with the OST was here!

So Amazon delivered it a day early... What would Disney say about that!?

Well, it is indeed a freaking digipak, not the cool jewel case version Karol got in the UK. Bummer.

[Director of Poltergeist 8,220]

I'm getting it from a foreign country then. Fuck America and their shitty cardboard packaging.

[Jay 43,044]

Yea, I almost want to return it and get a jewel case version from Amazon UK instead.

[Director of Poltergeist 8,220]

It's like when they use those cheap Blu-ray cases that practically fall apart when you open them, only worse, because it ruins the continuity of my CD collection.

[Jay 43,044]

The back cover has no track titles at all, just the starfield, like the jewel case version. Such a silly precautionary measure. The trailers for this film gave away way more than the soundtrack titles do!

[rpvee 973]

Not sure if this was posted, but Amazon has a pre-order page for a vinyl edition. No release date, though.
