[Luke Skywalker 2,385]

gut!

[Frank Vincent 301]

I just got an e-mail stating that Rosewood will be shipped in 2-3 days.

[Jonesy 55]

Cool!

[Jay 46,244]

I just got an e-mail stating that Rosewood will be shipped in 2-3 days.

I got one too

[crocodile 9,724]

Shipped!

Karol

[Jonesy 55]

I just got the shipping notice.

[Marian Schedenig 11,695]

Think about all the great WB movies that haven't had expanded scores yet... there's quite a few juicy ones!

Are you implying anything?

[Jay 46,244]

No.

In other news, mine shipped!

[Incanus 5,890]

In other news, mine shipped!

Ditto!

[King Mark 3,975]

oops, I had forgotten to order it. I thought I pre-ordered but it was Heidi

[Jay 46,244]

Mine arrived today!

[crocodile 9,724]

I'm waiting for your opinions then.

Karol

[Jay 46,244]

Well I've never heard the OST before so I won't be able to comment on the difference from that if that's what you mean

[crocodile 9,724]

No, I mean just opinions in general.

I have a tremendous respect for this score anyway. I'm sure I'll be fine with it.

Especially that there is around 40 minutes of previously unreleased score material.

You're going in blind? Oh man.

[Jay 46,244]

Well John Williams is my favorite composer and I want to own every score he ever wrote, so why wouldn't I buy it?

[Koray Savas 2,260]

I never said you shouldn't buy it, I was just marveling at the fact that you will experience a JW score for the first time. For many of us it's a rare occasion.

[Jay 46,244]

There's actually a surprising amount of post-Jaws scores I've never heard before:

Born of the 4th of July, Always, Stanley & Iris, Presumed Innocent, Sabrina, Nixon, Sleepers, Rosewood, Seven Years In Tibet, Amistad, Stepmom, and Angela's Ashes

[Incanus 5,890]

It'll be all the more interesting to hear your thoughts then.

Do you mean that you haven't yet heard those scores?

[Jay 46,244]

Correct - never seen the movies either

[Incanus 5,890]

Oh man you have so many beautiful scores to discover in that bunch! It contains a good portion of JWs best drama output.

[Jay 46,244]

I'm sure! It's kind of good that I never got around to them, as now I still have "new" Williams scores to look forward to discovering in the years to come

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Seriously. Check those out ASAP. It's not like they're expensive either. A few dollars used on Amazon, I suspect.

[Jay 46,244]

You missed the point. I don't want to get them all now and then have no new Williams scores to look forward to. I LIKE that I will have more to discover for years to come.

I got time.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Oh ho.

[King Mark 3,975]

I don't really understand the logic . Here we are waiting on this MB for years until the next JW score when there's some available on c.d. you haven't heard yet?

At least you could give them a listen instead of the latest generic action score to come out or useless RCP recording sessions being passed around

[SF1_freeze 138]

I also never listened to most of the mentioned JW dramatic scores and so i am looking forward to all the expanded releases where i can discover them in complete form. For example Rosewood and The Fury are more or less almost completely new for me. (Except the concert suites on the JW Greatest Hits cd or other compilations)

I rather discover them with remastered sound quality and in expanded form than to hear a maybe subpar OST album.

I mean there are quite some JW scores i never heard apart from concert suites or maybe watching the movie if available. For example almost every pre 1974 JW score and some newer ones like The Fury, Heartbeeps, The River, The Accidental Tourist, Stanley and Iris, Stepmom, Sabrina, Nixon, Sleepers, Rosewood, Seven Years in Tibet, The Patriot... So there is still a lot to look forward to

[Thor 9,362]

I've heard all John Williams film scores and seen all films (except one). I've also seen and heard a great deal of his TV work. However, like Jason, I feel like I still have a lifetime of JW music to explore, since only a small fragment of those TV scores are available. There are literally hundreds of episodes in different genres that I still need to track down and hear. With such a prolific man like Williams who's been doing music for so many years....this 'quest' will never end, I think.

I'm just glad I'm not a Morricone completist!

Stanley & Iris for me.

Stanley & Iris for me.

I bought the album just now. A lovely little chamber sized score from Williams.

[Thor 9,362]

I love STANLEY & IRIS. Not often talked about.

[Richard P 5,303]

I haven't heard anything from Stanley & Iris or Nixon. Haven't you heard the others even from the Greatest Hits set? At a very minimum, his concert pieces are wonderful.

[Ollie 1,375]

Angela's Ashes is superb.

Presumed Innocent and Sleepers are underrated.

People need to realize / remember not everyone has been collecting as long as some of us have. Even though I've been collecting since I was 8 it was LP's and tapes until the late 80's. Even with the introduction of CDs, I had maybe a 1/4 of my library at the beginning of 1998. Then the boom took off.

It's expensive and not everyone runs out and downloads stuff, they buy their stuff, plus a lot of younger members here.

[Jay 46,244]

Well I'm 33 and have been into Williams since I bought the Star Wars Anthology in 1994, but it wasn't until 2002 or so that I started buying every single OST of his that came out (and even then, I never got Geisha until a few years back). So I missed a lot of the 90s outputs, especially since they were for dramas my teenage self had no interest in seeing

As I've said, I have plenty of time now to discover them one by one

Absolutely. And you'll have to do it in your own tempo. The great thing about your approach is that you have all these great scores (and even films) to look forward to while some of us are digging through obscure "trash cans" for more Williams that might not be even half as good.

[crocodile 9,724]

Angela's Ashes is superb.

Presumed Innocent and Sleepers are underrated.

I bought Nixon, Sleepers, Sabrina in my teens. I was introduced to John Williams with Jurassic Park and Hook. But my collecting started with Star Wars re-release and The Lost World, which was my first proper film score I had by him.

I like most of his dramatic output, some it more than I used to, some of it less.

Our stats are pretty much the same then. I'm 34 and started in 94 with the Star Wars Trilogy (Skywalker Symphony). Though I'd already started blind-buying most Williams CDs I found in stores in the later 90s.

[indy4 160]

The oly post-Jaws JW score I haven't heard in any form is Stanely and Iris. Like Jason, I don't want to get them all at once. I'm also missing a few of FSM's releases, which I also plan on getting eventually.

You also have to explore all the music that Williams didn't include on the OSTs and you refuse to listen to for whatever reason. Or dismiss as not worth listening to since Williams decided not to include it on the album

But you'll seek out obscure TV scores that don't even have released albums.And even make TV recordings with sound effects and dialogue so you can listen to the music, which is exactly what the rest of us are doing with unreleased music from other scores

So what is it? Listening to unrelased music is fine as long as an album doesn't exist, but as soon as Williams picks the cues that should go on the album, the rest of them become automatically worthless to listen to?

[Rachael Foley 10,164]

Lets not go there again.

Better hurry up on that, all of them are almost gone.

Wow! That's actually a lot of fantastic Williams material you'll get to dig into for the first time!! I guess it's great that you can still experience that

[King Mark 3,975]

Stanley and Iris is lovely. I like it more than some other "dramatic" scores

I've got all the ones that are running out. The only ones I'm missing are that omnibus TV set and the ones that are long OOP. Maybe a few more, but none are about to run out.

Something like that, yes (although I wouldn't phrase it exactly like that).

[crocodile 9,724]

That's the one I've never heard. This one, Always and The Accidental Tourist.

Karol

[Koray Savas 2,260]

I think I enjoy the original album more than the complete score for Rosewood.

[Jay 46,244]

I like The Accidental Tourist
