Williams's assistant is showing him this thread right now.
 
"I am a bit confused. Are you saying that these are my biggest fans?"  

You've been right about these things before, Tom, and I can't argue with that reasoning.

My prediction is that Williams's final score will be the last one that he does.  

Almost as many words spent describing Mutter's wardrobe as Williams' piece.  The classical establishment strikes back!

Dang, I worked late tonight and could have had this on in the background the whole time!  Bring on the archived recording!

"You need a better waltz for this..."

It's in the past tense, so...Death to the Waltz?

On October 19, 2025, @Quppa made a reference to prepositions in a JWFan post, a first in my 18 years on this board, and all was well.

My review of this set:
 
The good:
The music is great! Most albums are modern Matessino remasters. There's nothing new here for collectors - no need to spend $200+ on this set to get some previously unreleased material. Good liner notes (as expected) from Matessino and @John Takis. The bad:
Arguably slightly conceptually confused - why are the expanded releases of CE3K and the Indiana Jones movies included when everything else represents the premiere (JW approved) soundtrack releases? Empire of the Sun and Always aren't remastered, presumably because the expanded releases didn't include remastered OST programs. Slightly disappointing, but if this weren't the case it would invalidate my point about collectors not being forced into buying this set. 2018 Star Wars releases featured here are flawed. Some mildly surprising omissions like The Poseidon Adventure. Lack of attention to detail regarding capitalisation. For the most part, prepositions are lowercase (good! I wish the specialty labels would learn), but not always. There are also tracks where the CD case and booklet disagree. Some issues I noticed: The March From 1941 has capital 'From' compared to other tracks correctly formatted e.g. Escape from Venice. Prayers At Bedtime should be Prayers at Bedtime. Andie is Stranded (case - incorrect) vs Andie Is Stranded (booklet - correct). Finding The "Orca" (case - incorrect) vs Finding the "Orca" (booklet - correct). Land of the Sand People (case) vs The Land of the Sand People (booklet - matches other releases).
The ugly:
Ugly colours and a bad choice of font. It looks a little better in real life, but not much. Very expensive on a per-disc basis - maybe this was inevitable given the cross-licensing requirements.

Yeah I read about it over on WRFan.
 

The concert version of "Theme From Jurassic Park" is not the same thing as the OST track called that; It's mostly end credits material, with the very end taken from the end of "T-Rex Rescue and Finale"
 
 
 
 
 
In the film that bit scores the T-Rex fending off the last of the raptors and roaring as the "When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth" banner falls down past him
 
 

I thought I was going crazy!
