MrScratch 294 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I've always enjoyed 1941 but was always satisfied with the original OST and never got the La La Land release but now am thinking of picking it up. Does this release sound better than the Varese Sarabande OST release? What is everyone's thoughts on the two releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 The sound is improved, yes It's also a 2CD set containing everything Williams recorded; The complete score to the film, alternates, and some source music. It's was all produced and edited by Mike Matessino, and LLL had their best art director, Jim Titus, do the art direction, so the entire package looks great. The booklet features liner notes by Mike Matessino. Cannot recommend it more, it's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Can you tell me if the Jingle Bells source music cue is instrumental or with vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Instrumental. Haven't you seen the film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's been a very long time since I've seen the movie. One more question, is that Jingle Bells source cue in a big band swing style like "In the Mood" and "Swing Swing Swing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,973 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Is it not sold out by now?You can get a used copy but they're quite dear.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 There are a couple copies on ebay for less than what is on Amazon marketplace. Yeah, I totally should have picked this up before it went out of print. Oh well, can anyone tell me: Is that Jingle Bells source cue in a big band swing style like "In the Mood" and "Swing Swing Swing"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,034 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I never owned the OST, but I bought the complete release and I've never regretted it. The sound is excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent B 337 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I never owned the OST, but I bought the complete release and I've never regretted it. The sound is excellent.The same as Data and I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I prefer the original album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,713 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I never owned the OST, but I bought the complete release and I've never regretted it. The sound is excellent.The same as Data and I agree.Yup. I have the previous OST but this new set blows it out of the water. Then again I have always had fondness for this score so more of it was only a blessing in this case. It is a top notch release in every way. Again with quite many JW scores the complete score fleshes out the narrative more with great moments missing from the OST like the oddly a tad Elgarian theme for Mr. Douglas's patriotism and all the zany action music from the final third of the album. Tons of variations on the march of course along the way. I am no huge audiophile but to my ears the sound is improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilmManiac79 6 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Love this score, from start to finish. The OST is so brief compared to this, so if you are a fan of the score at all-the expanded disc is a MUST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,973 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I've never been that fond of it, to be honest. It's certainly solid and entertaining, though.Having said that, LLL did an amazing job on this.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
