That one is terribly flat. I had to get rid of it as as soon as I got the ARISTA 4CD Set. But RAIDERS Polydor sounds fantastic in comparison. I only bought it for the sake of John Neil Mixes. The choir in Map Room:Tanis sounds really upfront than the one on the DCC. But the Concorde edition is a mixed bag with Shawn Murphy on the controls but he is using Neals mixes as well as Tomlinson.

The Polydor CD is basically the original John Neal mixes for the album issue sources from Eric Tomlinson's tapes. The DCC is the actual 'Film Mix' done by Eric Tomlinson.

No Jay it wasn't there on the email flyer I had also only listed the first 3. CRYSTAL SKULL was probably added later. Or likely the link was incorrectly labelled as LAST CRUSADE.

Just arrived. This very rare and exclusive JOHN WILLIAMS 2CD set with Programe courtesy a special friend who was very kind enough to pick a spare set for me during the recent THE PRESIDENTS OWN Concert in Washington DC in July.

Something awesome has just arrived..

OMG!

UPDATE: INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL ( also coming) according to Tower Records, Japan https://tower.jp/search/item/john+williams?recondition=True&genre=1&subgenre=8&sort=New

I said efore it will be back 2 more times. So we have 1 more to go.....

Edel Germany also had reissued of TEMPLE OF DOOM. The original Doom cd was pretty much a rarity for quite sometime before the BOX Set arrived. I was able to acquire the Japanese pressing which many touted this to be somewhat audiophile.

This could be a warm up to test the market. Not including CRYSTAL SKULL makes me wonder? Maybe they want to do an expansion of that produced by Shawn Murphy... Anything Goes!

At least they should do the expanded sets...

Just saw this update on my Japan retailer's Arksquare email flyer: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK- Reissue of the acclaimed Grammy R) Award winning soundtrack album by John Williams! INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM-Reissue INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE-Reissue That's all I have. No idea why isn't CRYSTAL SKULL not part of the announcement. Don't even know if they are going to carry the Concorde Expansions or just the OST issue. But I think this is just the reissue of the OST programe. UPDATE: INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL ( also coming) according to Tower Records, Japan https://tower.jp/search/item/john+williams?recondition=True&genre=1&subgenre=8&sort=New All are single cd releases.

Thanks Karol. I wonder if I can order these online? if you see them again check their prices too.

A Labour of Love from Mike Matessino ..no doubt!!!!!

Some thing that would open doors would be of immense importance for many things and not just Williams.. And some years ago I actually dreamt that I was holding a box set known as 'The OO7 John Barry Collection' and it had been produced by Matessino and Neil S Bulk. I woke up and hurriedly emailed Bulk at that time and alas it would be a dream project for him too. Could it be that was a premonition. .. WHO KNOWS?

It could be the long awaited Big Non JW project he had been working on. That's the Big reference I was referring to. Previously I thought that it was THE MUNSTERS LLL release but very recently in a podcast he had again referred to it as coming. So it's either that or entirely something else. There is a John Williams London live get-together happening event led by Maurizio and Tim Burden where MM is supposed to join in via online . I wonder if thats it..?

Today it's quiet, but tomorrow there will be... something that won't feel real to me until then, despite how long it's been in the works. _Mike Matessino on his Facebook status.

Ugh..how much..?

The FSM cd was pretty awful sounding and then Varese found the superb stereo sessions and the sound quality was just mind blowing. LLL reissued it much later slight tweaks and new liner notes and artwork. I enjoyed the Rerecording but I find the performances much superior on the original sessions. A must have both.

New arrivals and rarities...

I think MV said first week of October. Sometimes it comes back earlier.

I know what I'am saying.. just trust me!

Tempted but I sacrificed for my fellow companions.. otherwise it would be simply collecting dust. There are more batches coming form DME so watch out!
