Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yes the laserdisc. I've been tempted to get it on a couple of occasions but a laserdisc player for this one thing would be extravagant. I'd love to find a pirated digital copy.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 He was right to be annoyed about it at the time because the expanded versions of E.T. from many. many years back replaced alternates with film versions, yet retained the alternate original version of E.T. Is Dying, which no one wanted and was clearly inferior to the heart-tugging film version. All we needed was a couple minutes of music from one of the most beloved iconic career-defining scores ever to have it complete, yet they still left it off. This is why Williams shouldn't be put in charge of his music. He should compose and conduct it, then surrender the recordings. They're for movies that aren't his property anyway, why should he have any say? filmmusic and crumbs 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,689 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 To release a cut-down OST is one thing, but when it doesn't actually have the recordings used in the film (or they're the minority), you're missing the point of a score release.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Williams assembled perfect albums when the film originally came out, but he didn't seem to understand how to do expanded versions. If you're going to ditch the album and go with an entirely new presentation incorporating film versions and sort of follow the film's narrative, go all the way. Instead, they Frankensteined these weird CDs that still left off music after 20 or so years of hearing it in the film and nothing but a 40 minute album.

OneBuckFilms 319 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Unfortunately, the DCC CD wasn't quite complete for Raiders, from what I understand. The LP contained additional material, and I think (could be wrong) that you would then have the complete score for Raiders. The DCC release is not as bright ad the Concorde release, but IMHO is still excellent, especially for the full Desert Chase music, and the cues being played back at the correct speed. These scores should be redone in complete form, IMHO. However that looks unlikely any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20th Anniversary Edition of Close Encounters is superb. That's true, I must admit. It's easy to overlook now how important his 90's and early 2000's releases were. I mean, thanks to him since 1996 we can put together a very nice 2CD expanded almost complete edition of E.T. by combining the 1996 CD for greater quality and alternate takes, the 1996 Laserdisc for film versions and some then unreleased tracks (both releases produced by him) and the 1982 OST CD for completeness and the concert versions. Even with its flaws (the most obvious ones are fixable), the 2008 Indy box set was also a huge risk he took by convincing JW not to give us a "Jurassic Park 20th anniversary-like" release and, as far as I know, the last expanded JW scores released by a major label and, even back then, expanded releases were rarely (or weren't at all) been released by major labels.

There are 2 cues recorded for Raiders that have never been released officially (though both have leaked out). 1M3 Insert (the additional music for the rolling ball that you can hear in the film; We only have this in crummy bootleg quality or a DVD rip) 8M3 Escaping The Pit (the original version of the music for Indy breaking the wall with the statue and entering into the mummy room; The Concord CD only contains the Insert that replaces the statue riding part with music reworked from the bit where Indy whips over the pit in the beginning; We have this in perfect quality thanks to the Concord pre-release leak thingy) http://indianajonesmusic.blogspot.com/2008/11/raiders-of-lost-ark-1981.html OneBuckFilms 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I never understood Indy Rides the Statue being in that set. It seemed uncharacteristic for Williams to go with the awkward short film version rather than the leaked track. But then, how did both end up being released one way or another?
