Isn't lining up the cues from the original OST, the film and the concord release a bit of a nightmare because the concord release has a slightly higher or lower pitch? and it's not consistent? So lining them up against each other and revealing the same take through identifying phase isn't possible when the concord release is involved?

I'm wondering if the Dolby Atmos Releases for the prequels are on there way? Last year's May 4th Release was the Original Trilogy in Dolby Atmos. Or....

Happy Birthday JWFAN! I joined back in May 2002. I remember talking about Wlliams' Scores (Mainly Star Wars Music) with people from school and everyone thought I was insane. I came onto JWFAN where people understood and we're more accepting... a place where we could all be insane together! Thank you everyone 🙏

There were new recordings made of the Star Wars music (1-6) using the London Symphony Orchestra in Abbey Road Studio 1 in 2013, conducted by William Ross. Confirmed what was recorded in this article: https://www.endorexpress.net/parks/disneyparks/tokyo-disneyland/2013/07/williamross/ Highlights; "We created a kind of 40 minute “suite” of music from the 6 films. We ran it by John Williams and got his approval." - William Ross "It would be great to be able to hear this music somehow on CD or something…" - Interviewer Ross' reply, "I think that would be wonderful. It’s a beautifully recorded piece of music…Abbey Road, the London Symphony Orchestra playing that iconic music! The Star Wars music is in their DNA and they were very happy with it. I think there’s a wonderful degree of integrity to the music and personally believe it would make a wonderful CD…but who knows." So the question is, where the hell is the audio for this and can we have it!!!? You can hear a little of The Imperial March in this phone video at the beggining (It sounds so fresh!!!)

Star Wars Star Wars Trilogy: The Original Soundtrack Anthology turns 30!
aj_vader replied to Tallguy's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
"Your story is ground zero nerd love." Yeah I think the anthology boxset was £99.99 in HMV. It took me a while to save up for the special edition sets as well, however they seemed to be more mainstream and appeared in far more stores than the anthology set did. I didn't have the internet at that point, stumbling on releases was really my only way of finding these things out, we had the internet at school but it had filters for anything that wasn't related to the lessons. When I stumbled on the Empire SE set in HMV it was in one of those empty cases with a blue card saying Empire Strikes Back Special Edition blah blah ask at the counter. I asked to see it and I remember my eye's widening at the track list for Disc One Track 4, "Aboard The Executor", I thought this is it! the film version of the march at last! Nope! . I begged my Mother to buy it but it was £49.99! I had no chance. That was the leather non plastic version. -
Star Wars Star Wars Trilogy: The Original Soundtrack Anthology turns 30!
aj_vader replied to Tallguy's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
This is amazing reading everyone's wholesome stories around this boxset. I was 6 years old when I got this set in 1993, I had to wait until I got enough money from Family Christmas cards to be able to buy it from HMV. I vividly remember going home on the bus after getting it and I was physically shaking with excitement and anticipation on the journey home, which would have only been around an hour at the most, but felt like an eternity, especially at that age. I think it's still the most excited I've ever been with a soundtrack release, the special editions were close but just didn't have the same kind of energy for some reason. I didn't even have all the OST's before I had the anthology, I never found them in record stores. The only Star Wars music I had before the anthology was Varèse Sarabande's Star Wars Trilogy released in 1990. When I got home I remember putting in disc two first and skipping to all the statements of the Imperial March 😂. At that point I hadn't heard the OST's at all and only had the original versions of the films on VHS. So when it got the end of the Magic Tree and Yoda and The Force those huge Imperial March statements blew my head off! (For clarification the original film version just tracked the ostinato from the film take recording of the Imperial Fleet, clunky edit as well). Oh the magic 🙏 it was so special.
