I have the original CD, because I am a Michael Giaccompletionist.

You can preorder both editions now at 30% at Disney Music Emporium. They just kicked off a sitewide sale for 6/24.

EDIT: Aaaaaaaaand they're gone.

Yeah, Dick Donner talks about it on the commentary track for Superman: The Movie. It's been a while since I listened to it, but as I recall he talks about how he realized the theme was saying "SUP-ER-MAN!" the first time he heard it, and that he pointed it out, but (I think) Williams said he didn't do it intentionally.
I need to revisit that commentary track. It's really great.

I feel like I should do an analysis of Always out of pure sympathy.

I was a Project Consultant on this release.  It's my first real credit, and first paying gig in the field, actually.  If anyone was wondering why I stopped posting as frequently this spring, this is why.  Mike and I worked our butts off to make this set as good as it could possibly be.
 
And yes, one thing I did was proof-read the (many!) liner notes

Very cool!
 
Here's a direct link to the Brightcove video, to do with what you will.
 
EDIT: It's officially on YouTube now too.

Meh. If they had to change it up, I wish they would've gone full 80s and gotten Giorgio Moroder.

It's totally one of my favorite JW pieces ever. I get legit excited whenever NBC uses it for breaking news.

We owe him a lot

Robin Hood! On CD! Finally!

"You're welcome."

I have a sinking feeling it won't.  

I got to see when he came through Austin back in June. It was such a cool show! And all the more amazing since it's the kind of thing I never would have even conceived of getting to see.
 
The band was a bit more rockin' than the mainly electronic sound on some of his scores—that Escape from New York video is a good example. I thought the Halloween theme in particular sounded incredible with the full band.
 
Here's a potato quality pic I took:
 

This. I'm very confused by Jay's excitement.

One CD with the complete score and a small hammer where the second CD should be.

Hint: If you're a white dude telling a minority that everything is fine and they shoudln't be complaining you should probably just not.
