You know, the short ones with re-recorded stuff.KarolI think those are really the best representations for those scores, especially E.T. - he really nailed it with that album. Not that I don't love the complete scores, but the albums are really something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I don't love the complete scores, but the albums are really something special.Both scores should get the complete & remastered treatment along with a remastered album disc. E.T.'s album sounds great (much better than the Murphy remasters of the score) but is very hissy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Murphy's remaster lacks something. Hard to put my finger on it. But a Botnick recording, remastered by post 2000 Murphy is just wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The 96 re-mastering sounds great, the 2002, not so much. Not that someone needed that, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 There was no separate album recording session, this isn't a Jaws situation where they re-recorded everything rather than using the film recordings. They simply recorded a bunch of concert arrangements and alternate album-friendly versions along with the film cues like most other JW film scores, and the final album is mostly made up of these concert arrangements and alternate versions with only a few actual film cues included.

Joe Brausam 214 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Recorded for the album, I assume. They're expansions on the material in most cases, concert versions basically. That whole album would hold up very well in the concert hall, really. crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 What???This was a common thing for JW to do in those days. Expand on a few tracks and make them more "suitable" for the album and then record it.The Battle For Peace is the same recording, just with some inserts.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oh I had no idea. I thought they all came with the luxury package.

Incanus 5,713 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have to admit I have no idea whether the Rarities Archive was ever released separate from Doug's book. And as far as I know, the 2nd pressing doesn't change the way the CD is attached to the book, i.e. it comes in that grey envelope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The second printing of Doug's book added the permanently attached silk bookmark that the first printing didn't have. But this is the first I'm hearing of it also adding a different container for the bonus CD. Maybe this is a third printing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
