Ollie 1,059 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 At one point Intrada said they no longer had any interest in John Williams releases, because they released everything they wanted or found interesting, or something.That doesn't sound right.

Jay 37,374 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Yea, I don't remember reading that, nor would they ever say that. If Universal called them up and said they'd like them to release a new remaster of Jaws, you think Intrada would say no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I guess it was a) for the time being, b) for the releases that were possible. It could always change.And they have not released anything JW since, so it does sound right...Maybe it's from this, though I thought it was more explicit:Last but not least, John Williams is turning 80 years old this year. Can we expect Intrada to celebrate this joyful event?Uh…no. Not that I can remember. Not a whole lot left of his to work on, either!http://www.underscores.fr/index.php/2012/07/interviews-intrada-to-disney-and-beyond/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might as well mean there are several yet unannounced significant projects in the pipeline from different labels and Intrada is not one of them.Here's hoping.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CD wasn't invented yet!Alex, I bought it on vinyl, in 1979.Can you prove it?So much of what is posted on this site, is taken on trust. I remember that my post about seeing JW at The Barbican in 1982 was met with incredulity, until it was comfirmed that he did, indeed, give a concert with the LSO at The Barbican, in June, 1982. Was I there? Yes. Can I prove it? No. Was I at Six Of The Best? Yes. Can I prove it? No, but those who know what Six Of The Best is, always respect me for saying so.I bought "TES" in 1979, from a shop called 58 Dean St, Records, in London. Just for the record (no pun intended!) I bought "Jaws2" in Milton Keynes, in July, 1978, and "Dracula" in 1979, from a place called Dress Circle Records, which was located near Drury Lane - all on vinyl.The transfer on "TEE" is not good, it being one of the early-ish (1990) soundtrack transfers. I hope that a new edition, with improved sound is not far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airmanjerm 78 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Since this thread has been going for a while, I figured I would post that The Eiger Sanction is airing tonight on AMC for anyone who has that channel and has any interest in checking it out.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Y'know, with Warner Bros. putting out so much Eastwood on Blu-ray, you'd think Universal might want to step up their game a little... starting with, say, The Eiger Sanction.

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Looks like it includes a pretty sweet E.T. toy!Otherwise, it looks like it's just one of those oversized cardboard packages they used to (still do?) put on CDs at places likes Sam's Club, presumably to prevent theft.

Luke Skywalker 1,796 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 i catched this film the other day on tv passing channels.I saw one man that resemblen clint eastwood (but no closeups) climbing some rocky mountain... and the music, which i think was not on the CD and therefore i had never listened it, was 100% Williams.I said "mmmm this must be the eiger sanction". It was.Williams music is 100% recognizable and unique indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every CD came in them in certain stores in the US in the early 90s.Do you know what do they include inside? a booklet? something else? or just the cd?Usually nothing. The jewel case is at the top and the bottom is just an empty box. These existed for a few reasons. Stores at the time still sold vinyl records, and these 12" tall boxes fit well into those displays. They were also supposed to deter theft. They were phased out as LPS stopped being sold and the extra material and cost were unpopular with artists. Now the longboxes are collector's items. Of course, a longbox is the same size as the tall Rhino soundtrack books, like Ben-Hur and Gone with the Wind. This isn't one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good minute and a half of unreleased Williams goodness languishing in the archives since 1975, right there. If Brian Eno were alive today he would be spinning cartwheels in his grave.
