  1. I'm sure they are saving the remaining Stephane' tracks for a special edition. But the Blu Ray will have the full show You can't just edit the concert having Seiji Tributes in the beginning.
  2. Use Asendia France tracking. Page. The USPS tracking number changes to another number midway.. And yes they are reliable been ordering from them for decades
  3. It's pronounced as "Took-Took" not "Tuck -Tuck". Although in my Country and India these are known as Rickshaw!!
  4. Anyone figured oiy hoe to get an mp3 rip of this?
  5. Best of luck !! In case these emails don't work try digging into Boston Pops office contacts.

I understand Maestro Williams will also be conducting a concert this year on May 31st and 1st June. Would it be possible to obtain a signed picture or a cd booklet courtesy Boston Pops Management.(I can mail the picture/ or cd booklet as well) Sincerely, Amer Zahid
  7. MV usually works from home so he might have been out for groceries etc. Try calling at a more accessible time.

  9. Get it. Its a guilty pleasure of mine. What great memories of this set and the DCC RAIDERSs. I got these both at the same time.!! Sonically, JEDI sounds so good! Its a shame that the RCA 2CD edition pales in comparison even though it has more music.
  10. Maybe he should get in touch with Anna Sophie-Mutter for those cookies. She could bake and send it to him in a jiffy!!
  11. Yes...but what I really want is....10,000BC
  12. First catch of 2024 But an interesting story about LONELY ARE THE BRAVE! The funny story is that I already had LONELY ARE THE BRAVE cd until a few weeks ago. Apparently I was playing this and the MIDWAY Deluxe Edition in my car. While getting out of the car at the end of the day I Apparently placed these discs on my car hood while taking out the groceries and forgot about to pick them back in the moment. A while later drove away. Occasionally hearing a strange swishing sound.Which I mistook for some thing else in my car storage. Even made an extra bump on the road to have what ever it was to settle down. The odd swishing soon dissipated and I went about my business. Next morning I did wonder if the cds were still in my car as their designated space on my shelves at home was still empty. Anyways, when I visited to car to drive to work I noticed MIDWAY neatly fixed on the car back side window where it had somehow lodged itself. The horror dawned suddenly. I now knew the gravity of the situation. The mystery of the odd swishing sounds suddenly became clear. The cds were mistakenly left on the top of my car hood clumsily and now the OOP Very rare and expensive LONELY ARE THE BRAVE CD was gone!! In the short period I tried looking briefly around if it was still here or not. I even visited the place while driving where I had the swishing sounds.But alas. ..there was no sign of it or even broken cd tray or disc. The set was gone. Later in the evening I thoroughly scoured the area but it was now apparent. It was lost.So I sighed and accepted the defeat. I knew it would be a rare thing to find the disc set again and Ebay probably had it a humungous price value. But then I remembered a fellow who was selling a number sealed rare cds at very affordable prices and I had his list. I checked and lo and behold. He still had it and I emailed the fellow and he confirmed it back . So ladies and gents ..a BIG thank you and appreciation to John Johnson [ a fellow respectable FSMer] who has been instrumental in getting me some rare gems for quite some time.Trust worthy and very amicable in his dealings. He certainly has a treasure trove of rare items including many of them which are brand new and still sealed. Please connect with him to seek any of your holy grails. Chances are he has 'em!!
  13. I got the above from Boston Pops directly after doing dome clever emailing. Years and years ago!
  14. Both are essential. The MIDAS book is more biographical and covers the various periods of his scores. Music by JB is a delightful compilation of liner note styled essays devoted to each major film xollaboration. More like the Tim Burton Danny Elfman 'Dance Macabre' book by Jeff Bond. I don't know for sure if both are still available but I had them bought a year ago and had them just delivered from UK to me last week by a family member who visited me. .
  15. I paid about £30 +3 for shipping. So not bad for £33. I m also new to about 6 of them. The rest I have.
  16. I was thinking the very same. About 10 to 12 scores can be done within the next 2-3 years Star Wars/Indy Jones excluded. MEMOIRS came very close to winning an Oscar that even Williams looked surprised literally when it didn't win. Oh well. I think Williams is rather fond of this score as he redid a lengthy suite for the concert performances. If he wants to personally see an expanded release he would need to request or wish AFM to make the waiver which Im sure they would support it. It has to be done amicably - I don't see Williams forcing anyone to do it because it might go against their [AFM] benefits.
