So happy for anyone who wanted this.

I'll take whatever I can get, but I'd be most interested -- as others have said -- in something which has never been released at all, like The Rare Breed.  An album of all the NBC News stuff, plus pieces like Dear Basketball, would be nice too.

Yeah two oldies premiering would be great. Rare Breed and Story of a Woman.

No Story of a woman @MrJosh?
I think that one is his best among his earlier unreleased scores.

One of my hopes is that John Williams may have softened his view of his earlier music,  in part through the looking back he did when helping with Tim Greiving's book.  And that maybe then we'd start to get some of the older works from the 60s.
 
My guess for this year though is Catch Me If You Can and Seven Years in Tibet, and maybe something we already have in expanded form,  but reissued.

I was listening to this score earlier today while driving!  Seems like it gets better every year.

All joking aside, next year is the 25th anniversary of Fellowship. I am prepared for Warner Bros to milk me dry next year.

Not sure how this slipped under our radar, but the premiere is Oct 26. Apparently it was written back in 2011 for this guy's dad (legendary horn player Dale Clevenger of the CSO, for whom JW wrote his Horn Concerto), and is just now being performed for the first time.

I would never think a Goldfinger cue came from The Man With the Golden Gun, or vice-versa. None of Barry’s 80s Bond scores sound like each other; all three even have unique action themes at their core!
 
As for OHMSS and Thunderball in particular, I just can’t understand anyone mixing up the two. In part because OHMSS is one of my favorite Barry scores of all time, engaging all the way through, while Thunderball has always kinda bored me overall, making me feel the need to edit my own highlights selection from it. I’ve always thought it was a Bond score (and film) I’d just never “click” with, but LLL’s sound samples still have me pretty excited to get this definitive edition and reassess it.

Honestly, despite occasional things in common like the Bond theme and Barry’s own 007 theme (in some of the scores) they are often *shockingly* different from each other. I honestly wouldn’t say any two of Barry’s eleven are remotely “interchangeable”. They are all pretty unique and have distinct identities and melodies. And obviously those by other composers are even more different — people who aren’t Barry fans should really try George Martin’s badass Live and Let Die.

I was pleased to see this release contains detailed track-by-track liner notes (and excellent ones at that, by Jeff Bond), like the recent release of Jaws. Is it becoming a trend again? 🤞

Damn, she was hot.  

"I might literally know nothing, but here's 14,000 words on __________ anyways."  You DO have the option of not doing irresponsible things like that, you know.

I've read just about every interview Goldenthal ever gave and he never said this.
 

Never post on this board again.

Damnit I wasn’t going to grab this but then I listened to the latest podcast and Mike Matessino has done wonders with the sound over the FSM release.

I suppose that could be a right time to actually issue DEAR BASKETBALL which should be considered as a proper premeire of Williams only original documentary score. Other goodies that I can hope for is the MONSIGNOR inspired ESPLANADE OVERTURE and perhaps all the bumpers and reocrdings of the NBC NEWS material. 
 
 
 

Yeah I'd hope this is not an expansion tease, it sounded insanely annoyingly overbright. Great talk though! Even if I was hoping for a few more small technical details like why it's suddenly OK to rename already released tracks.

For context, Mark Graham is the owner of JoAnn Kane Music Service, which prepares the printed scores and parts for John Williams (and many other prominent film and TV composers).

The post is mostly about the recording sessions for the first Harry Potter film, which were interrupted by news of the 9/11 attacks, but he ends with this:
