I know it’s still a recent release, but it’s long sold out everywhere.

Powell commented this will contain 5+ minutes of new Williams!

What seats?

https://thesoundofvinyl.com/*/*/John-Williams-in-Vienna-Special-Edition/6L7X0000000 The limited, numbered vinyl appears to still be in stock here!

https://thesoundofvinyl.com/*/*/Star-Wars-A-New-Hope-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/6NTN0000000 Coming out early October. Nothing new musically, but I love that art. Gonna be in trouble if they release all nine matching that way!

How’d you order it? The site is in Japanese, and needs a Japanese address to register to buy anything. Also, what number did ya get?

Is the limited edition vinyl still available anywhere?

Ha! Read my post. The pic was taken before we were able to pose properly. So we both looked dumbfounded when really it was just bad timing. xD

What have I started?

I’ve been lucky to meet him and get signatures several times, and also some pictures. The first time (top left) was with guys I didn’t (and still don’t) know because Williams was in a hurry, so we did a group photo. Second time (bottom left) was taken early, so we weren’t ready for the pic and thus looked bewildered. Third time (top right) is golden, and I even got it signed at another meeting. These were all from when he used to be more interactive at the Boston concerts. In more recent years (aka my adulthood and not having a teenager haircut), I haven’t been as lucky, as much as I’d love to

My favorite Star Wars theme! I love how it’s made a comeback in recent years, including that gorgeously slower, sadder statement in The Last Jedi. My favorite Williams memory is jumping to my feet for a standing ovation after the piece finished at Tanglewood last year, and as Williams turned to face the audience, he looked at me and raised his arms with a big smile to match my enthusiasm.

I am so excited to hear what you do with the graveyard scene and duel. I’ve always thought the original scoring for that scene was too frantic, almost as if Voldemort was some kind of scary clown instead of an ominous Dark Lord. Really hoping that you make the scene more atmospherically ominous, especially during Voldemort’s monologue (when the original music is particularly unnecessarily frantic).

It’s real. Cassettes have made a small comeback in recent years, more for nostalgia than anything. Urban Outfitters usually sells them. Australia actually had an official ROTS VHS.

Wasn’t there a third? I thought he did it another time at Tanglewood as well.

I certainly hope JWFan isn’t playing on outdated, homophobic stereotypes.
