Got my copy today!!!!

My amazing wife got the hints and this was under the tree today - Merry Christmas to all!

Turns out my brother-in-law did click on the link I sent him quickly enough, so he did get sent a copy and has just given me possibly the best Christmas present. No time to listen to it today, but tomorrow has a long listening session pencilled in!
 
31 years after I bought the OST, I’m about to hear it all. What a blast.

Regardless, 2:28 to the end of the “Tuk Tuk Chase” OST track is one of my favorite spots on the album, and I’d even go so far as to say one of my favorite things from him in years. I was bummed it mostly didn’t make it into the film, but this is one of those cases where I think JW absolutely nailed the album track. So thankful that he put it on there.

LLLCD 1637
Music by John Barry
“All Time High” Composed by John Barry
Lyrics by Tim Rice

Limited Edition of 5000 Units

La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises proudly commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the 1983 James Bond film OCTOPUSSY, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of composer John Barry’s original motion picture score to the film, starring Roger Moore in his sixth turn as 007 and directed by John Glen.
Legendary composer John Barry (GOLDFINGER, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, DANCES WITH WOLVES) returns again to the Bond franchise with OCTOPUSSY, delivering another bold, thrilling, dramatic and romantic orchestral score, along with a dreamily smooth and sensuous title track performed by Rita Coolidge. The renowned composer combines his chase-and-action style from the’60s with his more sophisticated, symphonic approach of the late ’70s and early ’80s, giving 007 the best of both musical worlds. OCTOPUSSY – 40th ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION showcases the film’s music in exhilarating fashion, with improved sound and never-before-released material.
Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz, Disc One of this deluxe release showcases the film’s Score Presentation and additional music, while a remaster of the original 1983 soundtrack album is housed on Disc Two, along with the CD premiere of the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High”! The film score on Disc One was sourced from ¼ inch stereo tapes of the film mixes, while Disc Two’s original 1983 soundtrack and the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High” are from ¼ inch stereo album masters. All of the tapes were newly transferred in high resolution for this set. 
 
This special release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by “The Music of James Bond” author Jon Burlingame and sharp art design by Dan Goldwasser.

Hi. You can find 1500×1500 px version in my gallery. Merry Christmas!
 
 

Cute interview! And always so nice to hear Williams play his own famous themes.
 
I was able to filter out the talking and combined the two bits of playing to put together a whole little statement of the theme.
 
JW Plays Home Alone Theme on Piano (Entertainment Tonight Interview Filter-Combo).mp3  
 

“…in all my 30 years of writing."
 
It’s kind of surreal to hear him say that, and then think of the fact that he’s been writing another 30(+!) years since that statement.
 
Also wild to think that when Home Alone came out, around the same amount of time had passed between Heidi and it (22 years), as has passed between HP1 and DOD… Really puts things into perspective, and makes those late 60s/early 70s scores feel not quite so long ago.

A very nice video from 1991 with Williams playing some of "Somehwere in my memory" on the piano and talking about scoring the film:
 
 

This just arrived today! Aside from a few highlights in Jane Eyre and the overture to Heidi, not all that familiar with these scores, so I’m looking forward to getting to know them via this set.

Well I have now finished my second full listen of the whole set and it is staggeringly glorious! While Jurassic Park was my introduction to John Williams' music and basically turned me into a fan back in 1993, Hook isn't far behind (Presenting the Hook sequence might be one of my earliest musical memories from movies in general) and the complete score has been my holy grail ever since I figured out that the OST was missing so much of the beautiful music.

I won't reiterate too many of the thoughts so many others have already expressed in this thread about this beautfiul release. But I can't lie. I did shed a tear or two listening to this new presentation all the while grinning from ear-to-ear with delight. It is such a long time wish and now it has been delivered beyond my wildest expectations.

The score most certainly holds a nostalgic place in my heart and aptly this score is so strongly about childhood and nostalgia. But at the same time seems to have it all: The winning thematic melodicism, the athletic (or should I say in this case acrobatic) colourful orchestral writing, the absolutely pitch perfect way Williams captures both the subtext and the straightforward narrative needs of the film while writing superbly engaging and intricate music that in itself paints such vivid pictures and stands on its own as well as functions likea  musical mirror to the movie. In fact the music feels so very much in tune with the movie that it seems to capture the very mood and even lighting of the scenes in its notes. To me it is one of those perfect scores that seems like a world unto itself.
 
The complete score on discs 1 and 2 is such a powerhouse of a fantasy score, now all the more satisfying in its truly complete form, inserts and all. Too many highlights to mention. The 3rd disc was a small revelation as it presents all the songs written for the production that were ultimately dropped. But their history detailed in the excellent liner notes goes a long way explaining the reason for the long lined melodies many of the themes in this score have. In a way the songs on disc 3 do enchance the listening experience of the full score as you really can chart the thematic development through them even better than before. Not all of the songs are winners but pieces like The Low Below  - Pirate Sequence, Stick With Me and Childhood are just as catchy and delightful in their song guise as in the final underscore. The diegetic bonus material is equally wonderful in its piraty feel and makes you once again appreciate how much of Williams' musical effort for this movie went behind-the-scenes, unknown until now. Part and parcel of the film composer's craft but it is wonderful to finally hear all this existing recorded material.
 
This is just about as Ultimate as a film music release can get (we even have  stuff like Take Me Out to the Ball Game!) and a perfect Christmas present! My humble thanks to Mike Matessino, @Jay and @John Takis and everybody at La-La Land Records for producing this.
 
P.S. I couldn't help but chuckle when I thought of the other John Williams "Ultimate edition" having a blue cover, a polar opposite of this one. 

I think Bryon Davis mentioned before that Varese at one point was close to releasing the film recording of Brainstorm, but was stopped by Robert Townson. So take that as evidence that the original tracks survive

Ending with the Neverfeast! Genius!

"If" being the key word!

Here's the whole story:
 
1 - Jaws went up for sale on November 16, 2015
 
2 - By June 30 2019, it was listed as "temporarily out of stock"
 
3 - At some point prior to September 23 2019 that changed to "Sold out" with the notice "The Jaws 2CD set is currently sold out but will likely be re-issued at some point with a slightly different program"
 
4 - Later that same day, Roger said the reason for the proposed change was "Because we hit the AFM max and in order to keep it in print we needed to reconfigure the program. Seemed like the easiest alteration. "
 
5 - Also that day, Roger added "the new packaged album will not include the bonus tracks. Just the main program and the LP program. "
 
6 - On May 24 of this year, Roger posted "A lot held up in approvals but Elfman release should go to plant in a few days. Great Escape, Psycho II, Alien and 2-CD Jaws will be back soon."  Great Escape, Psycho II and Alien all did return to stock, however the Elfman title never came out and Jaws never came back into stock either.
 
7 - At some pint prior to December 20 of this year, the listing changed to " (Temporarily out of stock) Sorry but we do not know when this title will be back in stock. It's one of several titles waiting to be re-pressed as time permits."
 
That's everything!

Man, this is just awesome news. More Early Horner and rerecordings yet to come?  There’s no denying Horner is getting incredible spotlight lately, and it feels great to be a fan.
