Do you still feel this way today @Jay?

My money's on them not bothering to release anything other than more vinyl and endless re-issues of the demasters with ever-worsening artwork.

Not one bit TBH. Doubt I'll ever sit in a public cinema again.

Yeah, it's pathetic. There's a link to an interview from that time somewhere here on JWfan where Newell disses Williams and calls his music childish. I'll see if I can find it (don't get your hopes up LOL). Edit: that was easy

Point is Newell didn't want Williams.

Audacity has a vocals remove function you could try, it's far from perfect but it's free to try. You can thank Mike Newell for that.

The word "classy" in marketing copy doesn't inspire much confidence.

My LD player has one of those!

Some would regard a dedicated CD player's lack of video circuitry as a pro. Also possibly a better transport (depending on the model) - Blu-ray players are usually notoriously under-engineered in this respect (except the high end ones).

But wss anything recorded? I seem to recall an old print interview with Herbert W. Spencer where he mentioned that Julie Andrews had recorded Childhood, but for the life of me I haven't been able to find anything about it on the internet.

??? Which material?

How do you mean legally? Not understanding. Who knows if LLL wants to revisit Hook. They might feel it's done and dusted. We don't know if lossless sources for The Ultimate War have been located in the past decade since LLL did Hook. Intrada has done JW stuff in the last few years so this might be on their radar too. That's assuming Intrada still has an in at Sony Music (not sure if it has been confirmed they do or not).

So the answer could be about the monkey avatar or it could be about future JW releases. Tricksy MV is. Let's stay hopeful. I remember him saying "you guys crack me up" to all the Hook speculation a few months before LLL's Hook was announced. Maybe Intrada will revisit Hook and expand The Patriot.

Wish he would post a tracklist and some artwork.

Question posed on FSM MV/LLL Questions thread: Any possible avatar change in the near future with a possible John Williams expanded release? I'd love to see a colonial-themed monkey for The Patriot, or a pirate-theme for Hook, etc... Answer from MV: I wouldn't count on it Discuss! https://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=118900&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=33&r=676#bottom
