  1. I got one! It’s on the way! Praise be! I can’t tell you how excited I am. I’m now only missing three Spielberg expansions: 1941, Empire of the Sun, and The Sugarland Express
  2. I didn’t know JWFan and I share a birthday! Neat.
  3. I’m so excited for my Disaster Collection. I’m gonna watch all three movies here to prepare. I’m excited for The Reivers and The Cowboys too. Those are both scores where I’m only sort of familiar with the main theme and nothing else. I just have always remembered that Spielberg quote where he said those were the two scores that turned him on to John Williams.
  4. I bought the Disaster Collection as well as The Reivers. Also grabbed The Cowboys Deluxe on eBay. Managed to find Home Alone 25th on eBay too a week or two back so I’ve still definitely not got all the expansions on my list but things are improving. Still need: Heidi/Jane Eyre The Sugarland Express Images (forgot) The Eiger Sanction Jaws 2 Dracula The Fury 1941 Monsignor The River SpaceCamp Empire of the Sun Stanley & Iris/Pete ‘n Tillie Presumed Innocent Home Alone 2 Harry Potter Collection Minority Report Obviously there are others but they are less important. I’m here and there about whether I need Fiddler
  5. I just got my Superman sets this week and was already set to wake up this morning and listen to the 40th anniversary edition of Superman. It’s become a strange unplanned tribute. A real actor if ever there was one. What range. Let’s not forget him in The Birdcage.
  6. I hope one of these days we’ll be able to hear what he does with Star Wars and Indy.
  7. Yah I just listened to Close Encounters the other day and it’s possibly my favorite track layout for an expanded score that I own. Obviously it was really well thought out and I think it’s just about as good a presentation as I can imagine any score having. I also love the Amity Beach and Dance Hall sections of Jaws and 1941, another album presentation I LOVE. God I wish that would come back I print. I’m way more excited for Disc 2 of Sabrina than Disc 1. Which I did not expect since it’s mostly arrangements and piano pieces. It just looks like it’s gonna play through so well
  8. I bought this on a whim. I’ve never really listened to it all that intently so I’m fairly excited. I love that Disc 2 is a completely separate listening experience. Close Encounters is one of my favorite album presentations from LLL and this feels almost like that. Honestly the second disc being laid out the way it is totally sold me on this product. Hope it’s as good as I think it could be. The main theme has never been my favorite but it’s grown on me a bit
  9. When I tried to make a Top Ten Williams for that thread, I wasn’t able to decide on all ten. But I do know that Hook and The Phantom Menace are 1 and 2, in that order. After that it gets harder and harder to decide. Although Home Alone, Jurassic Park and The Empire Strikes Back are all definitely on the list. Hook is and always will be my all time favorite Williams score though. I grew up with it and love every theme like an old friend. Some of the cues are so nostalgic that when I haven’t heard them in a bit they can move me to tears. Back in the days of Limewire, I spent all my time trying to find the 2-disk Concorde bootleg. One day a friend of mine burned for me a 4-disc of what he called the Ultimate Edition at that time. It had sound effects everywhere but I still listened to it a lot. This release was a full-circle moment for me in so many ways. I still get chills hearing the Cornucopia insert in an official release. Disc 3 is more than I ever could have dreamed possible im a release like this. I wish I had children so I could share it with them.
  10. I want it so badly. Please, God, if you’re listening, let it come back into stock soon so I can have Through the Doors and Harry Gets His Wand like you’ve always wanted your Children to have.
  11. Literally the very minute I find out it’s back in stock I am purchasing this. I should have already but I’ve been poor, heaven forgive me.
  12. This NEEDS to come back in stock. Like yesterday. I live in fear that one day it’s just going to change to Out of Print on the website.
