John Takis 394 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 From MV on the FSM forum:At the beginning of the year we were racing toward Comic Con with 6 titles, hoping that at least 3 or 4 would make it in time. As the days grew closer and the problems/delays started to mount up on some of those titles, we started to rethink our approach. Once mid June hit and we realized that only 1 of those titles was actually going to be done, we decided "WHAT THE HELL", unleash the Chosen One early to the world. Four of those titles will not be done in time for the Con.These four titles were going to be:Batman Forever Expanded Archival CollectionForever Young Expanded Archival CollectionSpace Above and Beyond (3 cd set)1941 (2 cd set)Those titles are still coming -- When? Who knows....but they are in the chute.Needless to say, no one is more excited about this than me. (And no, I didn't write the notes ... I just REALLY LOVE the score, and know this is going to be a real revelation!)This, combined with more Shirley Walker, is the most excellent news one could hope for in one day!
indy4 160 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Awesome! I had no idea that there was enough unreleased music to warrant a second disc.
Jay 46,241 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Damn you John - beat me by minutes!!BTW, are you doing the liner notes for any of those releases?
John Takis 394 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Posted July 5, 2011 Damn you John - beat me by minutes!!BTW, are you doing the liner notes for any of those releases?BATMAN FOREVER, as has been previously announced.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah yeah very nice, what about the Williams score!
Taikomochi 1,460 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Cool! There will be an official release that doesn't have that "My name is <whatever>, and don't you forget it!" shit at the end. I can't even listen to it at all because of that. And the iso score rips sounds pretty bad.
Jay 46,241 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Awesome! I had no idea that there was enough unreleased music to warrant a second disc.Er, the isolated score on the laserdisc/DVD alone runs longer than one CDI presume this new set will include the complete score starting on disc 1, ending on disc 2, with no cannonade/dialogue throughout. Then any alternates, and then the complete original LP, with the cannonade and dialogue, to close out the second disc.
Joe Brausam 234 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Awesome! I can't wait for this!I guess this confirms that Spielberg/Williams are open for business.Bring on 1941 and Hook!!

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 The Bouzerou hegemony is over!Bring on my complete 2 CD Jaws!
Ollie 1,375 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Oh hell yeah!!!!!!And please please please please present the end credits and the march without those damn explosions. If you want to include them as an alternate that's fine.
Incanus 5,890 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Wow such wonderful news! It is such a crazy and energetic score.
Ollie 1,375 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Awesome! I had no idea that there was enough unreleased music to warrant a second disc.I would imagine the original album, or the cues with the explosions and Belushi's "I'm Wild Bill... line at the end of the end Credits will be included. Who knows, maybe a reconstruction of the opening scene with the tracked music from Jaws and source cues from that era may be presented as well.
Jay 46,241 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 As if the 1941 news isn't exciting enough, this could mean the door is open for other Williams/Spielberg collaborations owned by Universal!!!!!!! They are:The Sugarland Express (1974)Jaws (1975)1941 (1979)E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)Always (1989)Jurassic Park (1993)Schindler's List (1993)The Lost World (1997)Munich (2005)

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Geez, just after I ripped the ET iso score from Laserdisc, they bring out another release of it!
King Mark 3,975 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 what's problem/delays?something that could prevent a release after all?Geez, just after I ripped the ET iso score from Laserdisc, they bring out another release of it!They still won't get the right version of E.T, is Dying
Jay 46,241 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Delays are most often caused by the studios being slow to approve the artwork, or requesting changes to the artwork.

Shoot, they could tell me they were all coming in the next 24 months and I'd give them my money now if necessary.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 No, for perfection you would need Neil S. Bulk to be involved.
Thor 9,362 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Never cared much for 1941, neither score nor film. I have the film on DVD (just because I'm such a hardcore Spielberg fan), but I find it gratingly noisy. The same goes for the score, which adds fuel to fire. I barely get through the existing Varese disc, so an expansion is obviously not for me. But the possibility of opening the Universal vaults for completely unreleased Williams scores is tantalizing. Maybe someone can convince Williams to let go of SUGARLAND, even.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Hmmm...Thor not interested in a 2 cd set, who's have thunk it?

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 I've been reading them since 2001.
crocodile 9,724 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 This the third thing you can be certain of. The other two being taxes and death. And maybe Koray's soundtrack shopping spree. Karol
Datameister 2,586 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Excellent! I'm only familiar with the main theme (as recorded for the Spielberg/Williams Collaboration album), but I certainly love that theme, and I've been wanting to get into the score itself for a while. I guess it's a good thing I held off...now I'll be able to just buy one perfect release and be done with it. Bring it on, La-La Land!
Koray Savas 2,260 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 This the third thing you can be certain of. The other two being taxes and death. And maybe Koray's soundtrack shopping spree. Karol

Ollie 1,375 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Not really.He's been rather coy to the point where he would like to do it but there remains the obstacle of Spielberg and Williams and their approval. That's the way i read it. Plus he's been playful in the past.I'd say the odds are favorable to get it done but I'm not holding my breath.To get 1941 and Hook within the same calender year would be magnificent, so we'll see.
indy4 160 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Remember after the release of Home Alone on its 10th anniversary, he said something along the lines of Hook's 10th anniversary not being until 2011? In context it seemed pretty clear that he was hinting at a future release.At the very least, that's how everybody has been interpreting it, and if MV was really just joking when he said that, I think he would have made that clear so as not to dissapoint Hook fans.
Xander Harris 9,672 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Williams has been conducting this march a lot in recent years.Hopefully, the complete and chronological presentation survives these delays, whatever they are...
fommes 165 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 these delays, whatever they are... "When we were working on the album, Mr Williams had some great suggestions to improve the listening experience..."
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Good thing I never picked up the original 1941 album. Or the Goldsmith, for that matter. I'll be getting three of these.
