I will as well listen to all three disks from beginning to end. I can't promise, that I won't be skipping Banning Back Home. 

I’ve thought about that a lot. I’m probably going to listen to all three discs in order. It’s very tempting to go straight to the third disc but hearing the glistening that opens the prologue at the right speed is too alluring.

My boss gave me Wednesday and Thursday off this week and that’s never happened.
 
Hook is due to arrive on Wednesday.

This is what happens. This is how they get you.

It’s always dangerous when I have to wait a while for something to arrive in the mail, for example Hook. I always end up getting a little trigger happy and spendy.
 
This time it was Star Trek. As of yesterday I only own Nemesis OST. I keep meaning to fix this and it keeps getting put off. Well I found an EBay deal for three OSTs for 18. Khan, Undiscovered Country and First Contact. Well, then it occurred to me that I have to get Insurrection so I at least have 8,9,10. So I bought that one for another 9. And I really should have Frontier as well. Now I’m just 1,3,4 and 7 away from owning all the original soundtrack releases.
 
Well but then I couldn’t stop thinking about the newest remasterings of TMP and WOK we just got… so I bought those too from SAE.
 
I am going to try to keep myself from buying more but one of these days Intrada is going to get a biiiig order from me with the complete 3,4,5 and 6 hitting the cart. I’m just hoping that day isn’t later today. Pray for me, JWFam

This is very hard to find for a decent price now. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to grab it when it was. Hopefully it will get a reprint one of these days. It should always be available to score fans. Some scores are just like that. I guess I’ll add Cutthroat to my list of most wanted re-issues, right next to 1941 and The Shadow.

Two part question: do we know when Star Trek II is going to be back in stock on the LLL website?
 
and if it is showing as available on Screen Archive, can I just grab it there?
 
EDIT: I did not mean to post this in the JW Black Friday thread, my apologies.
 
UPDATE: I bought it anyway. I had a hankering. We will see what happens.

Super happy with this release! Mine came in yesterday! New baby is taking up my time but I’m hoping to listen to this in its entirety soon!

Mine says Wednesday. I hope it gets bumped back again, originally it said Friday!
 
I feel like my whole life is just waiting for Hook to arrive.
 
Also, trying not to listen to Hook shouldn’t be this hard. I have a million things to listen to. And it’s been years since I’ve given it a good listen* and this is the perfect way to experience it again after all this time so I’m not ruining it. But it shouldn’t be this hard.
 
It’s definitely given me even more love for Home Alone 2 (which has some Hook moments, mostly the Plaza Hotel and Toy Store cues.)
 
*ooh, except for John Williams in Viennna. That has a Hook track and I spin that a LOT**. I guess I’m a liar
 
**equals sooo much. I’m definitely a liar.
 

An open letter from JWFan to the Post Office

I have shipped and will be received precisely when and where I mean to.

Thanks. Yeah I was just re-reading it to see if I missed anything because a lot of people seem to have the other impression. 
 
like I said I don’t mind if another performance was spliced in, because even if they only take a few seconds, those seconds were performed as part of an organic take. I was just concerned that they were fixing specifically one wrong note or two through pitch manipulation. It wasn’t a deal breaker by any means but it just stuck out to me as something to ask about.

I’m not sure how I feel about fixing wrong notes with new technology. Does that mean a true expansion of what was actually recorded will never be released?
 
I understand why someone would want to do this but it’s essentially auto-tune for instruments. Fixing pitch that had been warped due to years of damage? Sure. Lots of old historical recordings that would otherwise have been lost to time have been restored this way. Fixing pitch because the players were a little off on the day? Ehhhhhh.
 
I know I personally would rather have the original performance, warts and all, ALL of the time.
 
So while my personal jury is still out debating this issue, anyone have any thoughts about fixing errant notes with technology?

I still say it all the time

I’ve shipped!

That’s what I am hoping.
 
Hook is one of the scores that got me into collecting. I used to watch the movie just for the score. I was a child, mind you. Sometimes I’d just skip to keys scenes like The Face of Pan or the Never Feast or The Ultimate War. I finally got the OST as a gift right around 2001 or maybe a little earlier. I loved it but immediately noticed how much was missing. (At that time “The Stories are True” was one of my most wanted cues! Early Grail.) Then the hunt for its bootlegs in the early days of the internet was a quest I shared with multiple friends. I can still remember the excitement of reading track lists of bootlegs I hadn’t yet been able to find and wringing my little hands in frustrated glee. One of my friends and I met over him telling me he could get me a 4-disc complete Hook. I can remember the disappointment of finding out how many sound effects there still were… and that the extra tracks on the 4-disc bootleg were mostly the tracks from the Williams on Williams album. I can also remember spending hours editing together a version of the Ultimate War that was all one track… just to find a better one right after.
 
These new memories will slot right in and I can’t wait. I really love this score. I’ve been craving some Yuppie Sounds.

That’s what I am hoping.

If only this could be my first listen of Hook… instead it’s my 28547068745636786579th.
 
But I am not listening to it again until it gets here. No Hook unless it’s Ultimate! I am only allowed its neighbors: John Fitzgerald Kennedy, one of the two Home Alones or Far and Away.
