King Mark 3182 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I'm recording more bumpers I didn't record well in 2006 or were cut off ,as well as some new ones I never heard before .I have digital cable now instead of analogue so they sound better.PM me after the games for the new collection .

Mattris 343 Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yeah, I'm hearing a few new ones too. One in particular tonight was awesome - completely new music.NBC/Sony should release these newly-recorded bumpers and themes on CD - at least a limited pressing for the fans. They could include everything from that NBC recording session a few years ago and the more recent one.What's holding them back from doing this? Had it been released a few weeks ago, it surely would have sold many thousands of copies. Is it really a financial matter or is there some other reason?This is John Williams and the Olympics, for crying out loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really a financial matter or is there some other reason?Oh come on.. never that many!I think as a music producewr I wouldn#t ever think that there is even a demand for these thing! This is John Williams and the Olympics, for crying out loud!No, it's just to you (and well most of us) JW and the Olympics.. to most of the world it's just the Olympics.. and some standard trailers and bumpers.. 80 percent don't even notice the music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3182 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 the problem is someone is always speaking over the opening notes of the bumpers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattris 343 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah, but the real problem is that a CD of this stuff hasn't been produced. It's as if the owners/distributors of the recordings are teasing the fans on a daily basis.They could put a sticker on the wrapper: Music by John Williams, "Academy Award-Winning composer of Star Wars and Schindler's List".

davros72 1 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Think they'd include Randy Edelman's Adventures of Brisco County Jr. theme along with the JW bumpers on this theoretical CD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 860 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 No record producer in their right mind would release a CD full of bumper music to the general public.A promo distributed to people at NBC, yes, but not to the general public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3182 Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 some of these mini versions are amazingI've gotten the "toll bell" Bumper 3 times this week in improved sound ,each time with the narration finishing sooner .Unfortunately I only have a clean opening from 2006.

Most normal people would just watch the video and be content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
