Why?

[Jay 46,241]

What do you mean?

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Why?

Alternates, and clean endings.

[Koray Savas 2,260]

What do you mean?

Why would you buy both versions? Does the regular edition have stuff not on the special edition?

[Incanus 5,890]

Last year it was the case (alternate passages inside tracks, not new entirely different cues though), so we expect the same this time as well.

[Jay 46,241]

The tracklist hasn't been announced yet, so nobody knows (and even then, we might not know until someone compares both).

With AUJ, there was about 2 1/2 minutes on the standard OST different than their Special Edition counterparts, including the best version of the Misty Mountains theme, a cool version of the Erebor theme, and another version of Gandalf's fireworks motif.

Not to mention the packaging is completely different, with totally different pictures and different notes.

Plus I have the regular and standard versions of all four LOTR/Hobbit scores, so why stop with DOS?

Yo-Yo-Ma Plays John Williams (Remastered Edition)

At 10 CAN$, I was not able to resist!

[Incanus 5,890]

Which contains e.g. both John Williams' Devil's Dance and 3 Pieces from Schindler's List and Christopher Gunning's Poirot Fantasy and Firelight suites for violin and orchestra plus intriguing suite from Hidalgo by JNH.

and finally the regular edition of the AUJ

Plus I pre-ordered both versions of the DoS soundtrack.

Joshua Bell - Gershwin Fantasy (1998, London Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams)

[crocodile 9,724]

Oh I forgot about this album. Need to give it a listen sometime.

It has been a while since I heard the album but I thought it was nice adaptation of Gerswin's music work violin and orchestra. I too need to revisit the CD.

[Naïve Old Fart 13,020]

I bought "Filth", the other day; my first Clint Mansel score.

[Bilbo 4,294]

Both versions of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

[Naïve Old Fart 13,020]

They are not out until 9/12.

How did you get hold of them?

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Pre order

[Jay 46,241]

Pre-ordered. Richard. I too have pre-ordered both versions of DOS, as well as The Book Thief.

My Pacific Rim and Game of Thrones Season 3 arrived this week.

[Bilbo 4,294]

Yeah, should have specified it was a pre-order!

[TheTennisBallKid 27]

Spending spree!

+ the new Hobbit thingy

[Koray Savas 2,260]

Should have gone for Intrada's Masada release.

[Jay 46,241]

It's sold out:

[Koray Savas 2,260]

The Varese isn't? I always assumed it was.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

The Varese is a completely different recording by a larger/better orchestra.

I vastly prefer it, despite the brief running time.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

It should be rereleased. I only have a CDR of that somewhere.

[Jay 46,241]

Both are out of print.

It can use a remaster.

[Bespin Copilot 10,817]

Just received, at last!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Redundant release!

[Bespin Copilot 10,817]

Redundant release!

Are you talking to me?

[Incanus 5,890]

Redundant release!

Are you talking to me?

Stefan means that there is THE definite release of The Superman The Movie score on the Film Score Monthly's Superman 8 CD Boxed Set with improved sound and even more material (the Rhino release contains the whole film score though). Plus that box costs about 120$.

I know, but I have -- absolutely -- no interest in the Superman sequels soundtracks.

Do you know what I do with this kind of boosted releases? I made playlists using only the tracks that were on the original albums... An anniversary or Special Edition release with a lot of unreleased tracks, Bonus tracks, unused tracks, alternative tracks... that really enerves me.

I didn't have the Superman Original CD, so this release will do the job for me!

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

I know, but I have -- absolutely -- no interest in the Superman sequels soundtracks.

It also sounds MUCH better though.

That's possible, I will check that. You now, this purchase is in a sense only a way to calm my conscience...

Two new JW themes

[Bespin Copilot 10,817]

Two new JW themes

I'm not sure I even know all the themes he wrote in Superman I :-)

Two or Three themes?

John Williams composed three new themes for Superman IV, attaching to three new characters.

• "Lacy's Theme," also known as "Someone Like You," is a sultry, sexy melody for the daughter of the new owner of the Daily Planet, who has eyes for Clark Kent.^{[citation needed]}
• "Jeremy's Theme" is a light, lyrical melody for the young boy who appeals to Superman to rid the world of nuclear weapons.
• "Nuclear Man Theme" is a driving action theme used for Superman's battle with the villain created when Lex Luthor places Superman's genetic material on a nuclear warhead detonated by the sun.

[Marian Schedenig 11,694]

And the Nuclear Man theme is awesome.

[Rachael Foley 10,162]

Definitely (though I wish the "Concert Version" was more than just a loop and a fade out)

Rhino set is decent enough, similar in presentation to Blue Box edition. But what you really need to hear from this set is Superman IV. While not written by Williams it uses his every single theme from the first film as well as three new one and two composed by Alexander Courage. Some of the things this composer is doing with the material might not sound like John in style, but they're truly awesome. A reverent but also fresh take.

Just snagged the deluxe edition of Star Trek 2009 for under $50!

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[Wojo 2,458]

It was under $50 when I bought it too. Well under $50.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 12,383]

Under $50?

[Jay 46,241]

It was $35 when it was released.

[Wojo 2,458]

I had to dig in my alternative email history, but I paid $29.98 for it from Varese in May 2010, plus $4.50 shipping.

[Jay 46,241]

How did you get a discount on it? It retailed for $34.98!

EDIT: I guess I was remembering wrong, my email receipt also shows $29.98. Memory can be funny,

Planet of the Apes by Jerry Goldsmith

Hella W. by Panu Aaltio

Iris by Horner

The Lemminkäinen Legend and Iron Age (Rauta-aika) by Jean Sibelius and Aulis Sallinen

The Fountains of Rome, The Pines of Rome and Roman Festivals by Ottorino Respighi

[TheTennisBallKid 27]

Not sure why the heck it's taken so long for me to get this. And I still haven't gotten TWOK yet (though I plan to rectify that soon).

Trying to acquaint myself with more Moross than just his sublime Big Country score.

Finally, I'll be able to compile all the Gerhardt Korngold tracks into one place. This is the very peak of film score bliss.

Been interested in this since reading Benny's complaint's about the cuts made by RVW.

Doyle/Branagh/Willy Shakespeare. Great team.

Basically the expansion pack for the Classic Film Score series, with extra Rozsa, Herrmann, Waxman, and Tiomkin tracks. And all the Studio fanfares together at the start of the disc, which is fun.

The Fountains of Rome, The Pines of Rome and Roman Festivals by Ottorino Respighi

[Wojo 2,458]

That Much Ado About Nothing cover has seven heads but six names, not counting Doyle. Someone count much?

[nightscape94 968]

56 CDs of Bach cantatas by Gardiner during his pilgrimage from December 1999 to December 2000. Did it through Amazon UK. Even though my US Prime membership didn't apply, and even with 2-4 day international shipping, I still saved $60 then if I had done it through Amazon US.

[Not Mr. Big 5,011]

Just got a CD of The River for $25 dollars.

[Incanus 5,890]

Just got a CD of The River for $25 dollars.

Nice! I think I bought it at a similar price at SAE a couple of years ago.
