Jay has been adding them slowly to the first post in this thread. I'm sure he'll keep doing that as time permits.

Oh absolutely I'm just saying I can see why there's confusion the movie runtime is a dead giveaway

I can see why people are thinking that photo might be legit for a sec... it looks a little like the FYC 2 disc set for War for the Planet of The Apes that Fox put out for Giacchino's score this year.

fixed the link... looks like he had to put a new version up.

Looks like there's a review of the set on youtube today [EDIT... lets try a different link] According to Techmoan "This video has been re-uploaded. It now contains a better demonstration of the hologram using a smartphone flashlight, a less relevant (and possibly confusing) section has been removed and most importantly... an outro has been added. "

Not sure this has been posted before but as a designer myself I love Jim Titus’ work and I keep an eye on his behance profile to get some insights he sometimes posts there. No ET yet but lots of his other projects can be seen. https://www.behance.net/jimtitus

Oh we are on first name basis now are we??

Agreed, I’ve owned a small marketing agency for over 10 years and we’ve had to work with some decent sized brands (nothing like E.T. mind you) and it’s always hard coming up with key art etc. for something with big expectations but you can always tell when the person working on it loves what they do like Jim Titus!

YES on all these accounts

Wow finally got a chance to read the whole thing. Excellent work Jay! like others have mentioned it really shines a light on the work people like MM do for these releases and makes us fans all the more appreciative. On on another note i don’t want to seem mean spirited here but I wish more interviews / articles on FSM took this approach. I’d still be a subscriber then.

OOOHHH I've been waiting for this since Jay started teasing this... Can't wait to get a few minutes to read this start to end... I love Jay's interviews always so meticulous!

Saw this today where Adam Savage talks about the concert and being the MC. Neat perspective.

Wow custom edits very cool you obviously enjoyed doing those?

Ha!! Now there’s a “score restore” project for someone!

Solid middle of the pack score. Honestly I probably come back to this one from time to time just to hear the electronic JW rock out session. You know what time to give it a spin again.

Did I miss something or was there a release of this I don't know about??

Oh I know it went out of print forever and a day ago but it's it really that sought after to command that price? If I didn't love it so much I'd start thinking of parting with mine! EDIT: Apparently it's just us crazy Canadians... Amazon US has it for a more appropriate $50 https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Weapons-Normandy-Michael-Giacchino/dp/B00012FXW2

After seeing this setlist for the concert (I'm so jealous!) I decided to revisit some of the greats from the past... Got to Secret Weapons over Normandy and noticed on Amazon they want somewhere near $200 for it!!!! https://www.amazon.ca/Secret-Weapons-Normandy-Michael-Giacchino/dp/B01KB2BKOQ/ref=sr_1_34?ie=UTF8&qid=1508593567&sr=8-34&keywords=michael+giacchino I mean yeah it's a great score but has it really gotten that rare!?

I have to say as someone who's only ever owned the 2002 edition (started collecting in 97 and didn't know about the 96 ET at that point) This set is a revelation compared! From the better sound quality, to the alternates, or for hearing the 82 album program for the first time! What a great set and a blast to listen to! I also noticed the La La Land ad in the 4k Blu Ray was very happy to see a studio push one of our labels products out to more people... though I must say the inclusion of the 82 album with the set would dampen some sales.

Mine too

I was ok until I saw John Williams and the Orchestra and now I've lost it! Edit: Is it ok to cry at work? At least he's going on with the main titles! woof dry the eyes and enjoy the rest

OOHHH!! Finally get to add both of these to the collection!

HA! I watched the same vid and almost posted the same thing

Anyone in the U.S. looking for the old 2CD Sony version looks like Barnes and Noble is having a Soundtrack Sale. A New Hope Empire Strikes Back Return of the Jedi And of course, a few other usual suspects for JW OSTs are there as well

Agreed where's our Semper Fi, Trouble with Lou, or SIN!!! Maybe someday... hey they released Sky High! Albeit that's from a major studio. I actually almost watched 50/50 on Netflix just to hear the score for the first time... might still actually do it.
