Thats rubbish. He already made it clear that there are no exciting titles numerous times at FSM about this batch which clearly meant no John Williams this time around because we have all have been expecting a John Williams titles since the last 3- 4 years. And for the record he has not indicated or told me whats coming either (which obviously even if he did tell me, I wouldn't even tell or disclose publicly) On the otherhand yet you continue to patronize members shamelessly across the board; even if its MV. Take a chill pill. P. S. Its 'custom

You mean about a certain 30th Anniversary release??. NOPE. 😜

Well Iam very pleased to learn that a fully expanded THE FINAL CONFLICT is being considered right under Varese. Thanks for the clarification.

Good grief! Thats a nasty tone there. LoL. But that also happened with Jerry Drax who told me that Kritzerland when out of the way to SAE to not to sell any of their titles to him! 😜 That was for POLTERGEIST II Guys, I chatted with MV over the phone last week to place an order (yes, I was Man enough to call him😅) and he confirmed there were No John Williams titles in this batch!!

I think that was Kritzerland going after one of our own Jerry Drax on his similar comment about the POLTERGEIST II release... Jerry lived to tell the story..

Well it ends as a short slambang coda which sort of make it like Concert piece but everything else in it as its film counterpart because its supposed to sync to the film for that performance. Its a favorite of mine.

Matessino also mentioned in The video podcast that WOTW may have been recorded. Concert Version of Escape from the City from WOTW For Volume #4, Another piece that I would love to hear in full recording is the Young Indys First Adventure concert arrangement from THE LAST CRUSADE.

All I know it was recorded. Probably a revision or a new piece.

Youre surprised too? So was Spielberg. 😂

Can anyone elaborate how many other pieces were reocrded at the III album's sessions at Royce Hall and not included in this set. rumors were that WAR OF THE WORLD & CLOSE ENCOUNTERS were recoerded. For War of the Worlds-Iam hoping it was the Concert Arrangment of 'Escape from the City' which Williams also performed at a Concert in Boston (I think)

probably a reissue of a Goldsmith title like INNERSPACE?

Matessino always raises the bar with every new release. The man is our innermost perfectionist.

I wish there were a few Williams title in this batch but I believe those will be relegated to quarter 1 of next year. MV has hinted earlier that nothing jaw dropping in this batch (according to him) but unless he is just playing with us.. But 6 releases definitely mean that there will be something exciting for someone !

Pre orders are up at Quartet !

I ordered WATERWORLD and PROJECT X. Both shipped this week. I think WATERWORLD is nearing sold out status since they have less than 500 copies left.

Escape from the City on disc 2 is my preferred choice than the original version on Disc 1. This scherzo like piece almost acts like a Concert arrangement. I wonder if this piece was actually recorded for the Spielberg Williams Collaboration III album? Matessino on the recent podcast indicated that one cue may have been recorded. Also I think Williams may have premiered this in a Boston concert performance in 2005? (My memory is vague at this point) Btw, I just did a comparison of the original OST sound and the new remaster - this new edition is just mind

Yikes. I need to open my set. Still unopened. I forgot.

Yes.Just as we need the 2CD of THE OMEN which Varese did.

Thats my is wanted cue. One understands why Townson was not in a rush to do it again. There are only few cues. But a complete program on Disc 1 and OST assembly on Disc 2 would be justified.

the rights were shared by Varese and MFM. (See the MFM logo with Varese on the cd backside below). The perpetuity rights stand with Townson.

Yes, I was wondering the same becuase Robert Townson has the rights through his MASTERS FILM MUSIC label. But I really want this to fully expanded and complete.

I played this last week only once, but the music has been playing inside my head non stop since then. Its that good!

It seems there will be No John Williams in this batch either. I think it will be first time in 4 or 5 years the excellent running streak would be broken.

My only question: Will there be any John Williams release in this batch? Of course Id love to see a proper Matessino'ed version of HOOK in this batch in full regal packaging but that would be too fantastic a title for this batch...

NO, thats a replacement, apparently its the first CD I've ever lost.
