After the petition failed so dramatically, we must face the fact, that us hardcore soundtrack fans are just a bunch of a few hundred nerds, that are not worth the effort from Disney's perspective. 

 

But the only fact that gives me a slight hope, that my grandchildren's grandchildren might face one day a proper Star Wars release, is that they let Intrada release the complete score of Solo on CD (and complete Rogue One on vinyl).

 

I always try to stay positive. I'm sure someday Williams will ask Mike and Disney to put out complete releases and it will happen.

After all, we know Williams already requested specific titles to be expanded, Dracula comes to mind, and it happened.

 

Or maybe Mike will convince Disney to do something, just like he convinced Craft Recordings to do the definitive Sound Of Music. And JW won't be an issue at all, the recent amazing expansions we've been having lately shows us how Williams trusts Mike, so I'm sure they will be approved easily.

I know how we all feel about the contents of the cds themselves, but does anyone have digital copies of these covers, because that Last Crusade cover is much better than the original.

Weirdly, their first reply said that it was indeed an exclusive Japanese release, and they only had a digital release planned for elsewhere. But then when I followed up with a quote from their press release the next reply (from a different member of staff) said that physical releases are indeed coming for the international market. 

 

The Sound Of Vinyl lists the 2xLP release, and it doesn't seem to be a Japan Import: https://thesoundofvinyl.com/products/john-williams-in-tokyo-vinyl-lp 

 

Amazon.fr also lists 4 releases coming on July 12:

• CD release: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0D1LQXX36
• 2xCD+Blu-Ray release: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0D1LMHGTY

I'm honestly a little stumped... maybe a Beltrami score like Blade II?

Probably not a "scary" score, although it scared me when I was a kid, but I would love an expanded Terminator 3 release.

 

OST was released by Varese, hopefully they can finally do a deluxe edition someday.

All I have to say is: if people didn't whine and bitch and moan so much back in 2000 when the TPM UE was released, at least we'd have that for the other two prequel movies and maybe for the sequels.

 

It's not our fault that they took the decision to cancel AotC instead of doing it the right way.

Okay great so the Deluxe Edition SACD actually contains the full concert with all 17 pieces, while the normal CD, Vinyl and digital release have just 12 (what a nonsense decision). 

 

Just like the Berlin concert, right?
