I think that's just marketing strategy, nothing more, nothing less. Maybe Williams expressed a desire in the past to see his soundtracks collected like this and Sony is using that to suggest that he is the driving force behind these releases. It is true, but like with so many things, only from a certain point of view. Convinced Williams doesn't want or expect to gain from this financially. It's purely the archival merit of these boxes that matter to him. At least that's how I see it based on what we know about John Williams.

I've always liked this arrangement from the moment I heard it on the Zubin Mehta album from the beginning of time. Thanks for sharing.

I just ordered at MBR. 😇

Happy Birthday to the greatest living composer and such a wonderful person! 🥳

My MBR order is still on backorder.... Anyone else's too...?

Great. If I can help out, just let me know.

Has anyone offered to finish what Joe started? If not, I'm willing -out of and with the utmost respect for Joe- to turn all the individual lists that people have been posting these past two years into the definitive JWFan Top 10 list. Well, at least until someone decides to create a new one in a couple of years from now.

Ordered at MBR. Got a message that the set is 'on backorder'. Does this mean the batch they had was already sold out when I ordered or does it mean they're treating any orders as pre-orders at this moment?

This is wonderful news!

Ordered my copy on a Dutch site (Bol), and it arrived last week.

EDIT: I've decided to send Jonathan my response by personal message. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to talk again about Thomas And The King and/or John Williams' songwriting skills?

He did.

Saw it and thought it was wonderful.
