Smaug The Iron

It would be really lovely it Sugarland and The Terminal come out this year for the 50th and 20th anniversary.
Then do CMIYC next year and after that we must wait for Disney to realise that what fans wants is a 100% complete release (mastered by Mike) of Indiana Jones (and Star Wars) and that the reissue fee for the post 2005 is gone or changed so we can get the last 7 Spielberg/Williams scores.

Arrived today!

I'm quietly hopeful once we pass the 20 year threshold from the stupid cutoff date, the AFM will be more open to granting waivers to scores older than 20 years.
 
If that came to pass, we could theoretically get Munich and Memoirs next year.

Purchased direct from Intrada:
 
 
 
Couldn't order MacArthur because it's already Out Of Stock.  That happened to me last year with Hollow Man which is why I didn't have that yet.

2012 edition finally gone.
 

 
And in non-Williams news, Djawadi's Fallout likely on my imminent purchase list.

Some stuff from last week...

So let's revisit this a little...
 
HP4, hell yes, it'll be amazing
Hobbits, hell yes, they'll be amazing
Blade Runner hell yes
Pirates trilogy, yes they need proper complete releases
Spider-Man 2 and 3 need them too, all the music from all the composers
Rosenmann's LotR, hell yeah I'd still buy that
 
But what else can i think of?
Once Upon a Time in the West from a non-shit source
Hunchback of Notre-Dame: The Not Fucking Shit Edition
Little Shop of Horrors, there are big film/album song differences, the "iso score" that's out there is kind of a mess of sources with varying quality
The Prince of Egypt completely complete!
Rocky Horror Picture Show completely complete!
The Dark Crystal complete from a real source!
Neverending Story with all of both composers' music including album pieces and the song too
Brainstorm complete film and album recordings
Sleepy Hollow done by someone with brains and ears
One dream is a deluxe set of Pink Floyd's The Wall with the remastered movie on blu, the album, and the film version of the album
The Ghost and the Darkness with a more senseful program with more attention to the sound maybe? The treble boosting Doug did really raised the hiss on some cues. Not a huge priority though
The Mummy from a better source? Again not a huge prio, with a combo program it's good enough
And a bunch of hungarian movies you guys won't care about
 
But like I said in the original post, I'm also happy with exploring all the other good stuff coming our way - last year was a little duller from my POV but I still got surprise releases I never heard before but love now!

Williams and Spielberg, the best due there is! 

My name is Bond,James Bond!

My name is Bond,James Bond!

You don't. The handful of folks that like "film edits" for whatever reason would inevitably be a bit disappointed, but editing together the music as-recorded is quite simple actually, and still provides a relatively good listening experience. It's the sequel scores that I'd be more concerned with.

I know it is probably not likely but I have a feeling that the John Williams release from Intrada will be The Phantom Menace for its 25th anniversary in May. They just did Solo so who knows. But it is probably a fools hope. 

That's not correct. 
 
 
Here is what producer Neil S. Bulk had to say about the Octopussy OST:
 
The album was included for a number of reasons. Most importantly, it was produced by John Barry. Also, the mixes are different, and we felt they should be included. Additionally, there are a number of cues that are edited differently than they are in the film (and on disc one) and we wanted those represented. Those cues are:
 
009 Gets The Knife And Gobinda Attacks
Yo-Yo Fight And Death Of Vijay
The Palace Fight
 
Additionally, the album take of "The Chase Bomb Theme" differs from the take used in the film and as heard on disc one. The only place we could locate it was on the album master. These four album tracks total over 13 minutes of music, so they wouldn't have fit on disc 1.
 
and
Neil, I have another "technical" question (if you'll see it and decide to answer of course)
Did you use "correct" takes of song on disc one? I mean, our beloved late Gergely said that on album Main Titles is actually version, which sounds during End Credits, and End Title is one, which actually sounds during opening titles...
The album mix differs from what's heard in the film. On the album a kick drum is mixed prominently starting around 10 seconds into the song, as the lyrics begin.

And here is what he had to say about the Live and Let Die OST:
 
The OST for "Live And Let Die" has never been re-built to match the 1973 album. Lukas did a terrific job in 2003 with the expanded release, but despite the album sequencing, it wasn't really the original soundtrack album. Let me explain. Several cues were shortened on the 1973 album that were presented at full length in 2003. Those tracks are:
 
Bond Meets Solitaire
Snakes Alive
Bond Drops In (a combo of "Bond Drops In" and "On The Train")
Sacrifice
James Bond Theme
 
And then there's "Baron Samedi's Dance Of Death." In the film they used take 6 while the 1973 album used a shortened version of take 7. On the 2003 album only take 6 is presented and in full, so again, the album sequencing was maintained but it wasn't quite the album.
 
We felt this was a perfect opportunity to not only make fresh new mixes in the spirit of the 1973 album but also go back to those original edits. George Martin knew a thing or two about making a successful record.
