  1. Just wondering. Did you ask Intrada to correct their pitch problems on their King Soloman's Mines release? What about all the missing organ overlays on the initial Omega Man CD release. Did you ask FSM for a new CD? What about the crappy sound on the Prometheus Wild America release? Did you demand that producers remix that CD?

    No. Raiders of the Lost Ark is ten times more important than those scores combined. Thank goodness for the DCC release. I have good ears but would have noticed the mastering blunder from the track times. I'm surprised LB didn't. It shows that this was a rushed product. The (paying) fans deserve better. We'll just end up paying for another one of their attempts. I would prefer a surround sound isolated score on the eventual IJ Blu-Ray box-set.

    Look, I'm disappointed with aspects of this release just like everyone else is, but this asking for repressed CD's is ridiculous. If someone didn't point it out the pitch issues you probably wouldn't have noticed... just like the majority of people who are going to purchase this... they aren't going to notice it. Now, I'm not supporting LB and the comedy of errors that plagues this release but what you are asking for will NEVER happen.

    True. But this really pissed me off. What a wasted opportunity...

    Having said this, I will enjoy what they've chosen to give us this time.

  2. The amount of people that would notice an error is irrelevant. more quality control should have gone into this set so there were no mistakes.

    Yes. The faults of this set are far too numerous. ;)

    The Raiders of the Lost Ark pitch / speed foul-up is inexcusable. Any chance of a replacement disc if we complain to Concord?

    (This reminds me of the incorrectly-framed Back To The Future DVDs a few years ago. Replacement discs were issued once you returned the faulty ones.)

  3. Do any of you know where I can get good version of "You're a Sweet Little Headache" form Last Crusade? I have one that sounds pretty good but it is hard to tell if it the same one used in the film. Incase some of you don't know what I am talking about this is the music Elsa is playing when Indy enters her room.

    It's probably the Benny Goodman/Martha Tilton version, but you'd have to check the Last Crusade end credits to be sure. You can preview 30-sec of it from amazon:

    Youre A Sweet Little Headache

    For the most complete soundtrack, this song will have to be included...

  4. Best case scenario: only 90% of the scores will fit onto the 5 discs. I hope the four primary discs are filled to capacity, chronologically arranged, will all important cues. Disc 5 should keep the interviews to a minimum (max. 10 min.) to leave more space for unreleased music. Bouzereau omitted cues from his E.T. release, yet didn't fill the disc to capacity. Hopefully he will not do the same here.

    I would guess that most of the people who are were going to buy this product would have paid more for the complete scores. Clearly, they're leaving the door open for another Indy music release.

    I pre-ordered this set and hope for the best...

  5. Compared to The Last Crusade OST, the music in the film itself sounds much clearer. The remastered Last Crusade should sound noticeably better than the OST.

    How could the interview be worth an entire CD? The JW interview should be 10-20 minutes, which leaves another hour open for more unreleased music.

    Why doesn't Concord release the track listing? Could the set's cue inclusions still be undetermined? Or are they just building the suspense...

  6. A bit off topic...

    A music question from a friend:

    There's some classical music played in the movie The Island with Michael Caine that I've been searching for years. I have the soundtrack by Morricone, but it's not on it. I don't know the name of the piece or the artist, although I've heard it on the radio a few times. If you've seen the movie, it's the music played during the scenes where the pirates raid the sail boat and Naval ship.

    I'm sure one of you knows the music he refers to.

    Thanks in advance.

  7. Yeah, I'm hearing a few new ones too. One in particular tonight was awesome - completely new music.

    NBC/Sony should release these newly-recorded bumpers and themes on CD - at least a limited pressing for the fans. They could include everything from that NBC recording session a few years ago and the more recent one.

    What's holding them back from doing this? Had it been released a few weeks ago, it surely would have sold many thousands of copies. Is it really a financial matter or is there some other reason?

    This is John Williams and the Olympics, for crying out loud!

  8. When conducting, Kunzel certainly seems to know what he wants from the orchestra. There's always lots of energy and precision. But some of his recorded performances have balancing issues, seem over-rehearsed, and the music is often forced.

    A couple of weeks ago, didn't Erich Kunzel conduct the Chicago Symphony (and chorus) in a concert entirely of JW music? I think it was an outdoor, Tanglewood-like setting. Can anyone confirm this?

    I would have loved to have gone, but it would have been a 2000-mile round trip... I did attend JW's recent Chicago concerts, though. :lol:
