    Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?

    A friend ordered the CD version (in stock, apparently?!) of DoD yesterday 4/23/24 from a link to Disney Music Emporium. 

     

    https://www.disneymusicemporium.com/product/XVCD60/john-williams-indiana-jones-and-the-dial-of-destiny


    He got a confirmation email for it and everything looks legit. 

    But after placing the order, he noticed that the return email address is disneymusicemporium@musictoday.com.   Not sure who MusicToday is - but they have a lot of negative remarks on the web.  Looks like their address is in rural Virginia judging from a Google Map search (5391 Three Notched Road Crozet, VA 22932).  Seems odd Disney would use a third-party shipper. 

    Also, if you go to DME directly (not using that link) the CD version of DoD is nowhere to be found, only the LP version.  Does anyone have any further insight on this?


    Well that’s definitely the email address I had when I bought my copy, which was delivered safely several months back.

    Massive congrats on what is genuinely a fabulous resource and such a well natured place. 

    I myself have made real life friends from the site and met up with Williams nerds in Milan, Vienna, Berlin, and closer to home in London. 

     

    Here’s to the next 25!

    There's an argument to be made...a very good argument...that over 45+ years, 11 films, 9 animated series, 7 live-action series, and countless shorts, specials, comics & books, Star Wars has produced only two truly great, classic pieces of pop culture art, the last happening over four decades ago. The rest range from merely "good" to mid to bad.


    That reminds me of the old Joseph Heller line (how true it is, I don’t know):

     

    Interviewer: “You’ve not written anything as good since Catch 22”

     

    Heller: “No, but no one else has either!”

     

    And that’s how I feel about Star Wars.  Nothing has quite captured me ever since the OT as a youngster and I doubt ever will.  
     

    So “good” (Mandalorian, Clone Wars) to “very good“ (Andor) is more than enough for me.

    Very nice thread, this! <3

     

    In addition to the Anthology and Close Encounters ads and various German ones I also have this in my Williams binder that I have been maintaining for more than 30 years now and that some of you saw when you added one of the last pages with all your autographs on the Milano programme (<3):

    P.S.: Oh my, this belongs in the Star Wars Anthology thread - I just duplicated it there, sorry, too much seasonal beverages ;)


    I loved seeing that in Milan.  Sometime, give me two hours, a nice drink, my reading glasses and a comfy chair to really look at it!

    Star Wars Trilogy: The Original Soundtrack Anthology turns 30!

    Although my collection's on my iPod, I made a point of keeping my CDs, and the soundtracks in particular. There are several good reasons to hold onto your physical media, but for me there's also the fact that my soundtrack collection represents a lot of hunting and good memories of having found them.

     

    Thanks to this thread, I dug up the Anthology box and opened it for the first time in literally decades. It's in great shape. I saw some alarming videos on YouTube about CD rot (especially those in digipaks) and was glad to see that my collection is still pristine and unaffected by time.


    Did exactly the same!

    That was an absolutely phenomenal weekend. The event on Saturday was so good. Huge thanks to Maurizio, Tim and guests. Hugh and Eric were just wonderful to listen to. Emilio is always a pleasure, and the things Mike spoke about and shared with us were incredible. I felt genuinely spoilt. It was a great feeling to be in that room with everyone. I met some fantastic folk, and caught up with some lovely friends.
     

    And then the concert on Sunday too! I was just being spoon-fed Williams love with a shovel all weekend 😂 


    This, exactly.
