1977

Those were the days. I miss them. Back then it was such a niche thing to have one's favourite films on an obscure disc format called LaserDisc. Letterbox and Dolby Surround were king. Special features were awesome. TVs were bulky and back-breakingly heavy. Dave's Video had those fantastic studio days. The world was a simpler place. Happy times.

Great I'll also have a look on there aswell, thanks a lot 👍🏻

Have a look at videohelp.com in the tools section, there are tons of freeware apps that can do this (and many other things to boot).

I just got a shipping notice from Intrada, so as long as you ordered before it was out of stock you should get a shipping notice soon.
 
Likewise though, I'm not expecting to see this in 2023. It'll be stuck in the Christmas backlog for weeks

I might glance at them if there is something specific I want to glean about the score or the release e.g. source elements used.

The doc is an hour long. I have it on my Abyss laserdisc sets (PAL and NTSC) as well as DVD.

Little over 13 hours to go. They usually announce it around 10am UK time.

Under Pressure is the title of the doc and it's fantastic.

Oh yeah, the making of doc is fantastic!

It was awesome!! I found out I can hold my bladder for almost 3 hours….Super cool effects, now I really want to watch the behind the scenes stuff cause I’ve heard that’s very fascinating. Plus, I got a free poster from it too!
 

Super excited!! I’ve wanted to watch this for so long and this is the perfect first viewing. 10 minutes to go if it’s on time, 40ish minutes if they show trailers before.

Those are my favourite parts!
 
"The passage features a polyphonic exposition where the violins and cellos engage in contrapuntal discourse, elucidating a series of tierce intervals amidst an extensive chromatic framework. The violins, articulating a sequence of augmented harmonies, navigate through a labyrinth of thematic development, while the cellos navigate a counter-melodic trajectory, utilizing intricate ornamentation and syncopated rhythmic variations. This intricate interplay, woven within an elaborate harmonic structure, underscores the composer's virtuosic command of contrapuntal techniques and harmonic complexity."
 

I often read them, but sometimes only skim through.

Well I mean, for example, if you listen to "Farewell Neverland (Short Version / Alternate)" first before reading, you will be surprised by the new music at the end, and what it references.

But if you read the liner notes first, you'll know what music to expect there.
 
So, that's what I mean by only having one chance to hear the music in an unspoiled way.
 
Even reading this thread before you've heard it will spoil that first listen.
 
Of course, every different person has a different relationship with spoilers and how much they want or don't want to know before hearing something.  I'm just offering my own opinion

Guys. I got home and there's no Hook CD waiting for me. I can't believe it. it's really quite a stressful situation. 
 
Absolutely nothing waiting on the doorstep. 
 
I can't help but notice however that the glass in the front door is broken. Some sort of botched delivery attempt? Also, someone's utterly ruined the wallpaper in the hallway. And up the stairs. And they've pinned a note to a bedroom door with a flippin' knife of all things. This is one desperate postal thief. Very strange methods indeed. 
 
Also I'm not entirely certain where the kids are. 
 
 

From the Wikipedia article:
 
 
Is this Andrews? https://johndadlez.com/MP3/Hook-TheUltimateEdition/3_03_C.mp3

There is a 0% chance that the voice in that sample is Julie Andrews.

Yes she is mentioned.

So listen to this: I get home and Hook isn’t here. The postal workers have been here and dropped off other things but not Hook. The tracker says it’s still Out For Delivery and will be here by 9:00pm. However I’m worried as a postal worker has clearly already been here.
 
So I’m a reeeeeeally anxious little ball of stress all of a sudden. All that anticipation and hype just sank a deep pit into my stomach. I have to hope it arrives via another carrier by nine. Otherwise I’m gonna be worried it was stolen etc. until tmrw, hoping it arrives then. And on and on it goes but I digress/am catastrophizing.
 
I haven’t had a problem with anything being delivered here so far. I just got Solo the other day for example. But this is a new place I’ve just moved into.
 
Stress.
Stress.
Stress.
Stress.
Stress.
 

Not sure exactly how big this is, but it’s big:

That's what I get for skimming 
 
 
In that case, this 👆

Isn't he talking about getting isolated SFX and Dialogue? NOT score?

According to wikipedia:
 

Based on the sample, I’d guess the recording on this set is indeed sung by Andrews.

My takes on MacArthur.
