filmmusic 1,829 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 WOW!I can't think who would purchase this (except for starting soundtrack fans) since most people would have some albums and they would have to double dip..http://www.amazon.co.uk/John-Williams-Complete-Album-Collection/dp/B00UOFCG94(saw the news at FSM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Every John Williams OS album released by Sony (Classical)? Every Star Wars album, Home Alone, Memoirs of a Geisha, Hook, etc.? Are there even so many released by Sony?I wonder whether the Boston Pops albums are included as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I guess that's for libraries and so on.But I wonder who at Sony Music Entertainment (owned and operated by Sony Corporation of America) had this brilliant idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,829 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Maybe it will include a bonus disc filled with unreleased music!Actually that would be a very smart move, because then all of us that own most albums, would rush to buy that expensive box just for that disc!!

TownerFan 4,983 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 This is gonna be Bespin's wet dream Sony is well-known for this kind of repackaging releases, hence I suspect it will be mostly straight reissues of several stuff (both OSTs and Pops albums), but it'll be nice to have them in print again.There will be likely some unreleased material exclusive to this set, so better start save your pennies... I hope there will be some kind of book with nice pictures and liner notes attached, though. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Maybe this set contains 59 CDs because it will include complete versions of some scores (AOTC and ROTS, JP and TLW, etc.)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy 55 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 No, they will include the isolated scores of AOTC and ROTS + dialogue versions of Across the Stars and Battle of the Heroes. That's the definitive presentation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I know nothing about this release - just found out about it when I saw this thread - but there's no chance this will contain any unreleased music. Of course, I hope to be proven wrong!£164.18 seems dirt cheap for 59 CDs, too! That's £2.78 per CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
