Trent B 337 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That's an interesting video too bad it was left off the DVD. It's too bad they couldn't release DVD's showing the entire recording sessions for the Prequels. I'd buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 The Spacecamp Japanaese c.d.Thomas and the King c.d.Heidi c.d.Pops BrittaniaAnd guess the FSM towering Inferno can be considered a rarityIt is in my house! I never want to be without it.Jane Eyre on vinyl, and the Japanese TOD.Also several under-fingernail DNA scrapings from which I eventually intend to clone a more flexible maestro who will agree to convince George to release the full prequel scores.Is that the original vinyl, or the TER re-release in 1982? Good luck with the cloning!I also have the Varese "The River", and the Varese "Brainstorm". Is the latter rare? Does anyone have "Heidi" on vinyl, complete with Michael Redgrave naration? What about "The Story Of E.T." with Michael Jackson narration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have "Heidi" on vinyl, complete with Michael Redgrave naration? What about "The Story Of E.T." with Michael Jackson narration?Horner's Brainstorm on Varese used to be pretty rare yes, however Amazon appear to have some copies for reasonable prices, so perhaps it was recently re-pressed.I have that Michael Jackson ET LP, it's never been played though as my turntable hasn't worked for years!i could swear I had seen that video before...Maybe in the doccumentary empire of dreams??No it's not featured in that, from memory JW was painfully under-recognised in that doc.It was a web-doc so you've probably come across it that way, it was also included on that rare DVD compilation that was distributed by Movie Boulevard a couple of years back.- Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Though it doesn't offer any music previously unreleased, I just picked up the Jurassic Park CD-single for $5: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,262 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Doug, there were three diferent releases of that one. If memory serves (I'm not at home to check it), the one you posted is the US release, with b&w covers.There was a promo with color covers, and an UK release, on a special case and a Jurassic Park poster.

Incanus 5,713 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Oh I have the one with the poster case which has both the Theme from JP and the End Credits (the same as on the OST which runs little over 3 minutes and contains the Island Fanfare) on it. Bought it a few years ago for 5 €. It is missing the poster though and looks like someone has used the front cover as a writing tablet since it has some very deep pencil scratches on it. So much for collector value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine definitely has b&w covers (well, grayscale, really), is identified as a "Promotional CD Single - Not For Sale", and contains only one track, "Theme from JURASSIC PARK" (3:27). The catalog number is MCA5P-2738, as seen in the lower right-hand corner of the front cover, on both spines, and on the CD's label.There was a promo with color covers, and an UK release, on a special case and a Jurassic Park poster.Interesting...

Doug Adams 494 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I own the pencil (well, the only one that still exists) with which Williams wrote the score to Star Wars, as well as a letter from him explaining the pencil's origins. Someday I'll see that it's placed in a museum, but in the meantime, it's sitting next to me giving me a massive inferiority complex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I own THE Sharpie that JW used to compose his autograph on the Blue Box. Actually, there are two of them since I was prepared in case I lost one. Now I'm unsure which is actually the one, but I keep both. This is my rarest item.

jw_researcher 0 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 For me, I have a letter JW wrote to me back in 1987. Since that's one of a kind, that's rare. On the CD front, I have the dometic CD release of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Not the Japanese, but the U.S. Polydor release. It was really hard to find way back when I got it. The track titles aren't even listed on the back; there is a picture of Pankot Palace and the movie credits superimposed over it. I don't recall seeing it on eBay; am curious as to what its value is.

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 ET, I'm glad you know that box is signed so importantly, because the photo doesn't really showcase the signature as much as your I-just-woke-up mug.

1977 1,743 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 These days there seem to be few rare JW releases, thanks ti the stellar work of the specialty labels. At present I would say the rarest items in my JW collection are: Dracula (V/S) Earthquake (V/S) The Paper Chase/ Conrack/Poseidon Adventure The Towering Inferno (until LLL's release happens) The Eiger Sanction (V/S) Honourable mention: Goodbye, Mr. Chips seems to have sky-rocketed in value since it went OOP a few years back (I have 3 copies). Not sure which one would be the most valuable money-wise, probably Inferno? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
