What if the expansion includes a disc with the OST in improved sound?
If the new version includes OST with improved sound and has another benefits as better cover, thick booklet full of information,..etc., (see 1941, Dracula, Earthquake, E.T., The Fury, Home Alone, Jaws, Jaws 2, The River, Rosewood, Superman, War of the Worlds, etc.), so there is no logical reason to keep the previous version. I will probably never listen to it again. It will collect dust and take up space only. So why to keep it when I can pass it on somebody who will be glad about it. Sometimes I use these old OST versions as prizes in my film music contests.

Why not just sync LLL track #1 to the film then? The audience won't have any clue that the actual film used a sped up end titles instead
Yes, you're right. I have tried to synchronize it and it fits and sounds wonderfully.
Thanks for a good idea!

@E-Wan,if this matters, the DVD and Blu Ray releases of 'Superman' have an ‘isolated music score’ audio track where the music is edited and sync’d with the film.
Otherwise, what project are you working on that you have to do the sync’ing/edits yourself?
I'm preparing my lecture about John Williams' scores for sci-fi films where I'm going to use some film scenes with music only.

You increase the speed of the part of the track that's the end credits. I couldn't tell you what percent to increase it by, though
Yes this is exactly what I need to know and where are the edit points because the End Title part is not only sped up but also edited.

You didn't real the liner notes. Donner artificially sped up the end credits recording when he tracked it into the opening of the film. The LLL CD re-creates the same edits as used in the film, but doesn't alter the speed.
Yes, I did.
But I still don't know how to alter "Prelude and Main Title (Film Version)" (track 17 on Disc 2) to fit it to the film scene.
Unfortunatelly I don't know how to do the upward pitch shift and subsequent small edits exactly the same as it is done in the film.

I have tried to match "Prelude and Main Title (Film Version)" (track 17 on Disc 2) with the actual Main Title scene from the film and it doesn't fit!
It seems the music track from LLL 3CD set is much longer and slower than the actual music in the film.
Can anybody help me how to synchronize it?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Apparently, Michael Giacchino loved it so much he decided Joker was one of the 5 best film scores ever written.
What? Is he serious?

Galaxy's Edge and Solo (other than The Adventures of Han) both get the sound I like. The biggest difference is in the brass, the trumpets most of all.
Both have been recorded in London at the Abbey Road Studios.

Superman (some controversy on this one for the dynamic range as I saw in some forums but sounds great to me).
What is wrong with the dynamic range of Superman 3CD set?
I have also read some complaints on the remastering of the OST album on Disc 2 of E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial 2CD set but haven't noticed any problems with it.
BTW is there any other case where Mike Matessino's remastering reportedly sounds worse than the original soundtrack release?

Jay, in the long main list Angela's Ashes is Sony Music release but in the simplified list it is Universal Music Group release.
What is right?

Wow the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE is broadcasting the concert recording today in a couple of hours! Sweet!
Czech Television (CT) has broadcasted the concert recording (with Czech commentary) on Monday. It is still available on their website:

Hmmm I'll have to double check my CDs at home, then! I was looking at them this weekend for something and I remember the Dreamworks Records logo clear as day on Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report, and Catch Me If You Can.... but now I can't remember precisely what Terminal WOTW, and Munich said! I'll double check when I get home
EDIT: Wikipedia says UMG bought Dreamworks Records in 2003, so maybe the titles released after that point still had the Dreamworks Records logo on them, but they were not distributed by UMG/Decca and got Decca catalog numbers
Yes, I think this is the reason why Amistad, Saving Private Ryan, Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can are Dreamworks Records releases and The Terminal, War of the Worlds and Munich are not.

Internationally, sure. In the USA, they are Dreamworks Records.
Really? According to the following sources all U.S. versions were released by Decca Records too.

Only FYC promos for The Terminal and Munich were released by DreamWorks.

Arista Records

1990 Home Alone (La-La Land 2015)
Jay, IMHO Arista Records released the song album, not John Williams' score which was released by CBS Records.
Dreamworks Records
- 2004 The Terminal
-
2005 War of the Worlds (Intrada 2020) - 2005 Munich
Jay, in fact these 3 soundtracks have been released by Decca Records, not Dreamworks Records.

I thought the same even more about Revenge of the Sith. I must confess, I did not like the finale starting with Leia's theme. I would have liked to hear original music from this film.
And I am not such a big fan of Battle of Heroes. In the film there was a lot of great music, that I would have loved to hear in the finale from the music for General Grievious up to Anakin's Betrayal.
But these are complains on a very high level. Revenge of the Sith is still a great soundtrack, my concerns are more on especially on the finale.
And yeah from time to time I think, when a piece is obivously sounds too much like a copy of a classical piece. For example "Hatikvah (Hope)" from Munich sounds like a 70% copy of Smetana's Moldau. Anyway sometimes I wonder when quotes from other pieces are credited and when not. I mean in classical music it was quite common to use themes from other ocmposers and include them in their work. Sometimes you have a variation on a theme by someone. Some other time it is not mentioned. For example, Williams' "Song for World Peace" obviously quotes Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zaratustra", but on my CD it is not credited. Probably it is too obvious. Would be interesting if there are some regulations around that or at least a state of the art. If there is some, I don't see through it.

Roger Feigelson announces a Williams title is coming from Intrada in 2021
in JOHN WILLIAMS
Posted
Info from Roger Feigelson from January 2021:
Well nothing is predictable, but we're hoping for more stuff by DeVol, Kamen, Goldsmith, Elfman, Williams, Goldsmith, Bernstein, Folk, Goldsmith, Poledouris, Zimmer. But who knows...things change rapidly!
DeVol, Kamen and Goldsmith are already out, so the next one is Elfman and then ...(probably at the beginning of June) ... Willliams!!!
