Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?
dtw42 replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Disney have not merely dropped the ball on this one, they have dropped the ball, stomped on it until it burst and deflated, and then pretended there never was a ball. -
Ha, actually my delivery included Pinocchio too. 👍

Ruin a movie by changing one letter of its title

Maxi Driver. -
...and the referee for the iconic 1985 world snooker final between Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor. ...and my uncle. Gotta admire the versatility.

Which 5 John Williams expanded releases will we get in 2018?
dtw42 replied to Josh500's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
BOTFOJ would be nice, and very welcome. Potter, [shrug] – I'm happy enough with the current OSTs. Sugarland/Storia ... we should be so lucky 😜 -
I ordered on Monday - still showing unfulfilled. 😒

How many people here consider themselves JW completists?
dtw42 replied to Bayesian's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Me too! :-P Although I have just remembered the one thing I don't have a legit copy of, which is the FSM disc containing The Paper Chase, Conrack, and The Poseidon Adventure – the few copies around are attached to prices that I just balk at too much. For that one, I'm prepared to wait in the hope that either they reissue it or somebody accidentally sells one at a regular disc price. On the other hand, I enjoy my copies of relative obscurities like the singles of 'Tuesday's Theme' from Bachelor Flat and 'Uno Di Qua l'Altra Di La' from Storia di Una Donna, or the M Squad album, which were bought for perfectly sensible prices perhaps because there isn't a kind of 'limited quantities' cachet about them? -

Well, rather like Thor said right at the start of this thread - I'm a completist only in the sense of wanting to get something from all his composition titles; so I'm not overly bothered about multiple versions, re-issues, expandeds, alternates etc. Sometimes I get those, but I'm not obsessive about them. And I'm not attempting to collect JW-as-conductor-only recordings with any rigour either. Bootlegs ... just one, I think, but I'm on my way to replacing that with a legit disc. -

Why is John Williams bald and the other men of his family are not?
dtw42 replied to Ricardo Mortimer's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Perhaps working with some directors has caused him to tear it out over the years? -

On the subject of versions of Far From the Madding Crowd, the ballet score by Paul Reade is definitely worth a listen :-) -
