Best of luck !! In case these emails don't work try digging into Boston Pops office contacts.

I wrote to their PR dept requesting to kindly send me Williams signed copy.
You just have to write convincingly and politely.
 
It worked for me..TWICE!
 
 
 
Okay here is my email from my archives with some contacts from 2017..which I wrote to and received:
 
Bernadette Horgan • BHorgan@bso.org
 
I will be out of the office until Monday, September 11.  If you need a response between September 1 and 4, please contact Taryn Lott at tlott@bso.org or 617-638-9283; after September 4, please contact Sam Brewer at sbrewer@bso.org or 617-638-9284.  Thanks.  Be well.  Bernadette, 617-510-0597.

Thanks so much for the detailed response, Amer! I’m going to attempt the exact same thing.

Funny, I just listened to this again last night. Every time I do (since this release originally came out), I feel like it's one of JW's I've never heard before. I just keep hearing new aspects, new layers. I know a lot of his scores are extraordinary - of course - but this one is becoming one of my all-time faves. It is indeed an absolute masterpiece. 

Very unexpected, but awesome! As many people as possible should own this masterpiece of a score.

Time to add a new chapter to the story! I’m so glad they’ve brought it back with the same configuration and extras. Hopefully they also reissue their great 2CD set of Jaws 2…
 
Yavar

It’s now back in stock at Intrada.
Jaws

I don't know if it has been mentioned, but he also won a Saturn Award for Indiana Jones.

...the CD to be back in stock.

MV usually works from home so he might have been out for groceries etc. Try calling at a more accessible time.

Refloating this thread to ask if anyone knows wether they're back from the holidays at Lalaland.
Last time I followed @Amer's advice and MV was so kind to take my order personally by phone.

I've mailed them to try to order some more CDs but got no answer this time. Also, the answering machine used to have a message. But I called today and only got a what I believe is a Fax signal (?).
 
Thanks!

They should probably award him just for writing one at age 90!!

I was finally able to listen to Disc 3 today (I wanted time to really focus on it and even re-listen to anything I wanted), and like everyone has been saying, the songs are revelatory. I was afraid I was a little overhyped for them after all this time, but they did not disappoint. They're like a Rosetta Stone for the rest of the soundtrack, and I can't wait to listen to it all again with this new knowledge.
 
Something else that surprised me on Disc 3 was the "When You're Alone" instrumental. I'd heard an instrumental version of that before, which I assumed was from the previous 'complete' release, but since I never owned that one, I had never verified it. The version on Disc 3 is quite a different arrangement, so now I'm wondering where that other version comes from. I own the Williams/Spielberg Boston Pops CDs, so it's not on one of those. Hook is one of my favorites of all Williams' soundtracks, so I'd love to own any other versions he's performed.

The Nightcomers is a GREAT Jerry Fielding score and I actually did miss the original issue! This is great news.

Boo, no naked links please!
 
Coming 1/30...remastered for those that missed it. "That's great for those that missed it."  "Where there hell is Night Breed?" "Maybe he meant Nightcomers when he said Night Breed?"  "Is he that dense that he could mix up those two titles?" "Probably."

Because he is a gentleman and because he is on live TV. 

Correct. So really, the nomination is probably more meaningful because it's an acknowledgement from his peers.

The cool thing is that, even at 91, he'll probably attend the cerimony as he always does, even knowing he's not going to win.
