First on New Year's Day Doug said this:

1/1/12

To everyone... may you have a Happy New Year!

As today kicks the new year off, all of us at Intrada are already knee deep in projects. To be honest, what we have lined up this year is the most ambitious slate we've attempted in our 26-year history. Hopefully there will be something for everyone. Look for some pretty sensational releases coming courtesy our partnership with Disney. In fact, projects with virtually every major studio are now under way... including a milestone new series with one of them. Look for classic recordings you thought you'd never see available. More details on that soon! Even something in the Excalibur series. Just loads of releases for you to choose from. I can't expect you to support them all... but hopefully there are numerous new things coming from us that will tickle your fancy throughout 2012.

And so, with lots of excitement for Intrada ahead, and knowing that numerous other soundtrack labels will be abundant with cool releases... may this new year bring forth musical joy to us all.
--Doug

Then when providing clues for the May 29th batch, Roger said this:

One MAF title, one Special Collection title...both from the 60s. Two of the most famous film scores by one of the most famous composers, and yet the original soundtrack recordings had never been released. One kicks off what we hope to be an inaugural new series of releases.

The title ended up being Charade, and there's a big Universal logo on the cover:

Hopefully this means Universal is excited about celebrating their 100th anniversary, and a lot of great titles are coming!




The films that Williams scored for Universal are:


1972 - Pete N Tillie
1974 - The Sugarland Express
1974 - Earthquake
1975 - The Eiger Sanction
1975 - Jaws
1976 - Family Plot
1976 - Midway
1978 - Jaws II
1979 - Dracula
1979 - 1941
1981 - Heartbeeps
1982 - E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
1989 - Born On The Fourth Of July
1993 - Jurassic Park
1993 - Schindler's List
1997 - The Lost World



Obviously there are a ton of non-Williams titles that would be great to have too, such as The Last Starfigher, Darkman, Back To The Future II, Apollo 13, Waterworld, Mystery Men....

Jaws is getting an extensive restoration for Blu-ray release, so I would assume we'd see a new version of the score as well.

If I remember right I think MV told me an email that Intrada was looking into Apollo 13 since they're the "Horner-ville" so speak, then compared to La-La Land. I wouldn't doubt if in time if Intrada released a complete version of Back To The Future Part 2. All though I am happy with the boot but I wouldn't mind deleting it in favor of an official release.

It would be nice if Intrada was able to release the complete scores for all three Jurassic Park films.

I'll be crossing my fingers for Sugarland Express, although I doubt one of the labels would release it given JW's disapproval. Second best option would be The Lost World, I think.

Huh? The launch title was a 78 minute release of never before available material! There's been no clue from Intrada that there will be any expansions coming at all!

Mhhhh...Universal/Intrada proudly present John Williams' finest funk moments with MILES ON WHEELS and of course his salute to melancholic euro spy scores in EIGER SANCTION.

If they squeeze DRACULA in between, i have everything i still need from Williams.
You wouldn't see a subtle plan if it painted itself purple and danced naked on top of a harpsichord, singing "Subtle Plans Are Here Again."

As I said in the other thread, considering Intrada is branding this new line with the same graphic package Universal is using for the DVDs and Blu-rays, I think it's very likely we'll see many of those titles released.
"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams

"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

JP trilogy JP trilogy (cross fingers)

Which the other day made me think... JP score is augmented with synth instruments that double the real ones... so if a recording sessions boot surfaced, will it sound 'smaller', 'dry' or something like that?


Hmmm, so intrada is doing universal, that label would be the one to contact for a JP: Operation Genesis release :P

All the major film score labels have licensed stuff from Universal. From what I can tell, this is just a new branding that will go on some Intrada CDs of never-before-released scores. This isn't like the Disney/Intrada deal where they developed their own "line" with its own catalog numbering system, Charade is in their normal MAF line.

Possibly, but Charade's already on Blu-ray from Criterion, and AFAIK not due to be rereleased by Universal this year.

Well this might truly bode well for expanded/complete releases of some major scores. :)

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Jaws restoration is complete.
OH God, Joe is posting again, someone hand me my pills!

"You're not John Conner, I saw you die, said Kyle". "I was only injured, replied John". "No, your injuries were too severe, you died. Look at you, where are your injuries? You're, you're a Terminator." "Kyle, its still me, yes my body was beyond repair, but my essence is here." He points to his head. "No John". Kyle raised his pulse rifle and aimed it at John but before he could fire, John fired first. Knocked to the ground Kyle looked up at the Terminator in the form of the man he once idolized. All hope was lost. "If you kill me how will you ever be born?" "Thats a good question Kyle, all this time we've focus on Sarah, on John, when had we known the it was you we should have targeted all along." John pointed his rifle at Kyle's face. "The resistance is finished, the battle is won. We the machines are the victors, salvation is ours." Kyle never heard the second shot.

we dont know, but probably, the simpleness and monothematicsm of the music embarrases williams somehow, so he thinks his 5 minute concert suite of the main theme is enough to represent the score.

A re-expanded E.T. would HAVE to include ET Adventure Ride to be any worth. The sound quality of the previous releases is already great and so is a good rip of the Laser Disc iso score

As far as I remember, the sound quality on the latest release (remastered by Shawn Murphy) is the worst of the lot. They should get Botnick for a new release.

The main theme of Sugarland sounds a lot like "12 Days of Christmas". That's probably why he disowned it.
