Looks great!

[Jay 43,027]

Matessino never disappoints

[Incanus 5,858]

Matessino never disappoints

Indeed. Looks excellent!

[Jonesy 55]

Wow!

[Trent B 348]

Matessino never disappoints

While I am not getting this release I do agree with the above statement.

[Incanus 5,858]

Interesting to note that Williams co-composed a couple of the alternates with other composers.

[Jay 43,027]

No, that is not the case. The notes refer to existing music that Williams incorporated into his score. Perhaps the notes should have read thusly:

CD1, track 16 contains interpolation of "Anchors Away" by A. H. Miles and D. Savino

CD1, track 18 contains interpolation of "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" by D. Swander and J. Hershey

CD1, track 22 contains interpolation of "The Duckworth March" by W.L. Duckworth

[Incanus 5,858]

CD1, track 16 contains interpolation of "Anchors Away" by A. H. Miles and D. Savino

CD1, track 18 contains interpolation of "Deep In The Heart Of Texas" by D. Swander and J. Hershey

CD1, track 22 contains interpolation of "The Duckworth March" by W.L. Duckworth

Ah ok. Thanks for the elaboration Jason! That explains it.

[Jay 43,027]

I've edited the main post to make it more clear.

Also, for you "I like my source music interspersed with the score" people:

CD 2 track 10 "In The Mood" goes between CD 1 tracks 2 and 3

CD 2 track 11 "Jingle Bells" goes between CD 1 tracks 2 and 3

CD 2 track 12 "Down By The Ohio (Instrumental)" goes between CD 1 tracks 10 and 11

CD 2 track 13 "Play-Off" goes between CD 1 tracks 11 and 12

CD 2 track 14 "Goodnight, Sweetheart" goes between CD 1 tracks 16 and 17

[pixie_twinkle 60]

I wonder why we only get the instrumental version of Down by the Ohio? The version in the movie is sung by the Andrews Sisters, isn't it? It certainly sounds like them.

Not that I'm complaining. This looks like a great release, and a must-purchase.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,075]

Maybe its a rights issue.

[Jay 43,027]

The set only contains music recorded by WIlliams for the film; Not existing material needle-dropped into the film

[Andy 6,136]

Must. Have. This.

[Director of Poltergeist 8,218]

This is going to sell out so quickly. I hope I get a copy.

[Demondm810 437]

This is going to sell out so quickly. I hope I get a copy.

I dunno. Home Alone is still available, isn't it?

[indy4 159]

But there wasn't a lot of worthwhile missing music from the Home Alone OST. Certainly not 70+ minutes.

[pixie_twinkle 60]

Can we not pre order this? We just have to get online ASAP on the 27th? This is like "Blue Box Day" all over again! I remember waiting for hours to finally get through to the FSM site to order the Blue Box, it was so jammed full of people purchasing the set! Exciting times. I'm really going to miss FSM releases.

[Wojo 2,458]

It'll be nice to be able to archive the footwarmer and trade in the OST for some pennies.

[Romão 2,432]

So this seems to be one more JW score that gets a definitive treatment

[King Mark 3,848]

So the full score (as heard in the film) fits on one disk? That's the biggest surprised there

Does this mean Disk 1 is essentially a better edited version of the Johnny Express bootleg?

But there wasn't a lot of worthwhile missing music from the Home Alone OST. Certainly not 70+ minutes.

I think there's quite a lot

[indy4 159]

But there wasn't a lot of worthwhile missing music from the Home Alone OST. Certainly not 70+ minutes.

I think there's quite a lot

You mean this still is, even after the Deluxe Edition?

[King Mark 3,848]

No, I mean there's quite a bit on the Deluxe Edition that's not on the old OST

[Incanus 5,858]

The set only contains music recorded by WIlliams for the film; Not existing material needle-dropped into the film

1941 was yet a again a Spielberg film where Williams had his hands full. Over 150 minutes of music for a comedy albeit or should I say especially for an action comedy is A LOT.

[Greg1138 3]

LLL knock it out of the park yet again!

[King Mark 3,848]

What's the selling out prediction time?

[Incanus 5,858]

I really do hope they last so long that I can place my order at SAE.

[King Mark 3,848]

I'm ordering from LALa directly this time

[Jay 43,027]

La-La Land doesn't do pre-orders. The only way to get this one early is to be at the screening of the movie Sunday night in LA. Otherwise the whole world gets their chance to order it at the exact same time: 1pm PST on Tuesday.

Not at all! The Johnny Express Bootleg was simply a fan's edit of the laserdisc/DVD isolated score, which obviously contained a ton of looping, tracking, edits, and lots of missing music. This is every cue in order presented without edits. There's lots of material on this set nobody has heard in 32 years

[fommes 161]

Is there going to be a release special? Anyone know what it is?

[Jay 43,027]

Huh?

[fommes 161]

Like, 5 dollars off if you buy both releases, etc.

[Delorean90 47]

EDIT: You got it.

I haven't heard of any yet.

[Jay 43,027]

That stuff is never announced ahead of time. We'll know when the official LLL email goes out late Monday night / early Tuesday morning.

[SF1_freeze 136]

Will the intrada shop also sell this CD cause i'm already registered there? What i also couldn't find out is if you can pay with

a credit card at the Lalaland shop...

[Nemesis 287]

Wow, the Promo Trailer music is also on CD 2. This set looks fantastic!

Now imagine if Hook will get the same treatment

[pixie_twinkle 60]

Thanks. I'll make sure I'm on my break and sitting in front of a computer at that time.

[Frank Vincent 275]

Yes, Intrada will also sell the CD and yes, you can pay with a credit card at La-La Land. I do it al the time.

[Josh500 1,620]

I admit, I am not crazy about this score (or about the movie, for that matter).

But I will get it anyway, just on general principles. I have an idea that I won't listen to it for some time, though.

[publicist 4,648]

It's one of those rambunctious scores everyone should love, but somehow i'm content with the march...with a possible addition of the end credits. The rest is technically impeccable, but somehow a chore to listen through.

[Josh500 1,620]

The version of the March found on the Spielberg/Williams collaboration album is top-notch, though. Love that version...

[King Mark 3,848]

I haven't listened to this score in a looong time. Somehow the DVD iso rip didn't do it for me

I'll re-discover it

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,075]

Same here.

I think this is going to be a really great listening experience.

[Incanus 5,858]

I haven't listened to this score in a looong time. Somehow the DVD iso rip didn't do it for me

I'll re-discover it

I am pretty sure the score as a whole, unedited and presented as recorded will be quite a revelation to all fans. And a good way to rediscover a full bloodied John Williams action/comedy score for a Spielberg film from 1970's.

Same here.

I think this is going to be a really great listening experience.

I agree. I think 1941 is one of the more coherent comedy scores JW has composed. Despite various musical jokes which do take the music to several directions the main thematic material keeps the musical narrative and flow strong. Especially the terrific march. The music does not feel disjointed as say A Guide for the Married Man tends to do as it goes from one style to the next without much to tie it all together.

[Ricard 2,380]

The 1941 score is almost as good as Williams' masterpieces such as Jaws, Star Wars, CE3K, Superman, The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders, E.T., Return of the Jedi or Temple of Doom. My favorite parts are those that include the motif associated with Nancy Allen's character.

Do you mean the "Planes on the Brain" motif? That was the one thing besides the march theme that I noted when I first watched the film. Excellent dreamy music for her obsession.

[Josh500 1,620]

Hmmm, 1941 is really thought highly of here. Never realized it was such a top JW score... I always thought it was on the same level as, say, Always. Again, the March excluded.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,075]

1941 is a top notch score, always has been.

[indy4 159]

Yup, there a lot to love about it. I actually prefer "Swing Swing Swing" to "Sing Sing Sing," even if the former is less original.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,075]

It has a giddy energy that is missing from most of Williams' later works.
