    Junion got a reaction from Jay in John Williams Discography   
    Actually, there are even 7 songs for release on single John Williams did in collaboration with Vic Damone!
     
    As you said, 4 songs were released as two singles which are:
    - Adrift On A Star
    - The Pleasure Of A Company
    - Theme from "By Love Possessed"
    - If It`s The Last Thing I Can Do
     
    Another two songs, recorded in 1961, were released as part of the compilation "On The Street Where You Live: Vic Damone`s Best":
    - The Second Time Around
    - Maria
     
    The 7th song, "Come Live With Me", was released as single in 1968 and is an arrangement of the title of the same name that appeared on OST "Valley of the Dolls". All these songs are listed on JW`s discography.
     
    And there is another song both artists recorded in 1967 called "I`ll Plant My Own Tree", very likely an arrangement of "I`ll Plant My Own Tree" that was released on "Valley of the Dolls". This one is still unissued. Hopefully, there will be a release of this song one day.

    @Jay asked if some Singles listed on the disco are worth to mention because of their unique content (as they were never fully reissued otherwise).
     
    Very few (I'll skip all the weird radio edits, various pop collabs and remixes of course).
     

     
    "Montreal" is still unreleased on CD:
     

     
    This Yo-Yo Ma single was partly reissued on some compilations, but never entirely yet (I think):
     

     
    EDIT: The Oboe Concerto is still only available as a digital EP.
     

     
    And there are the three recent DG singles:

    Great find!
     
    FYI, John Williams joined Bobby Darin’s show to celebrate Darin‘s 10th anniversary in show business at the Cocoanut Grove. This event took place on March 8, 1966, just one month after Williams’ 34th birthday and 2 weeks after scoring „The Time Tunnel“.

    So, I don't know if it have been pointed out before, but The Fabelmans will be the 109th soundtrack album of John Williams (thanks @Junion), his 149th if we count his other solo studio albums.
     
    With the next Indy, the magical 150 number will be reached.

    Junion reacted to Thor in New Podcast Series: The Complete John Williams Television Music Walkthrough   
    This has taken me a whole year to prepare and produce, decades if you count the research and accumulation of material. But I thought it was the appropriate time to create now, as a tribute to my favourite film composer in his 90th birthday year.
     
    A complete walkthrough of all of his television music (with the available material and data that we currently have), presented as a podcast series over multiple parts. I hope you tune in and follow it. I will start working on Part 2 soon.

    @JunionGood work on the Wiki page! I saw that you separated the soundtracks from the studio albums. It's nice to see the numbers, a thing I like less is that it removes the "chronological" aspect.... but to see that chronology, we still have the "Somewhere in my Memory" disco!

    Thanks @Bespin! Yes, my purpose was to distinguish between Studio albums, Live albums and Soundtrack albums as the Wikipedia template contains these options. There are a lot of fans who are aware about his film scores and can easily navigate to the Soundtracks now. On the other hand, the "Somewhere in my Memory" discography lists all albums from the 1950s until 2022 on one page in a chronological order. Both ways are fine to me.

    Junion got a reaction from Bespin in John T. Williams, the pianist   
    No, this is a remastered version of the re-recording, which was also conducted by Elmer Bernstein. It was recorded on January 30 and February 4, 1963 for ÄVA Records and featured Raymond Turner and Caesar Giovannini on piano. (https://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.8567/.f?sc=13&category=-113)
     
    The recording sessions for the original film score were already done in September & October, 1962. John Williams played piano in these sessions that have not been released so far.

    Junion got a reaction from Thor in Which came first -- Daddy-O or M Squad?   
    I am absolutely sure that the premiere of DADDY-O did not take place in March, 1958 as mentioned on IMDB and Wikipedia but one year later. Based on the book "Screen World 1960 (Volume 11)" by Daniel Blum, DADDY-O was released in March, 1959! This book was copyrighted in 1960 and listed most film releases in the USA between January 1 to December 31, 1959.
     
    Therefore, the one second-season episode "The Right Hand Man" of PLAYHOUSE 90 must have been scored by John Williams before. Air date of this episode was March 20, 1958.
