Ollie 1,059 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 I have the old Bay Cities release of 1941. Hopefully the new release will have the old LP artwork of all the characters from the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixie_twinkle 48 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Awesome! I had no idea that there was enough unreleased music to warrant a second disc.Er, the isolated score on the laserdisc/DVD alone runs longer than one CDI presume this new set will include the complete score starting on disc 1, ending on disc 2, with no cannonade/dialogue throughout. Then any alternates, and then the complete original LP, with the cannonade and dialogue, to close out the second disc.Quite possibly. When I made my own extended 1941 CD set from the isolated score I got 96:15 of music (including "In the Mood" and "The OHIO" and other source tracks).

Trent B 337 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I'll most likely skip on 1941 but it seems like La-La Land is gonna be the big label again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TownerFan 4,983 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Helluva news! This is a great score from beginning to end.This is surely a sign we will see further expanded Spielberg/Williams scores from the labels in the future. And also a sign that Williams is NOT preventing his scores from being presented in expanded/complete form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indy4 155 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yeah, if the original plan was to have them finished by late July, then we probably won't have to wait too long to get them. WHat does LLL typically charge for a 2 CD set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I think it is the standard 29.98$ or around that. On the other hand they can charge as little as 24.98 for 3 discs like with Breakdown. I would call that almost altruistic business style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Really? 1941?Huh. I could think of at least 30 other JW scores that I'd be more excited to see a 2-CD edition of.(But I probably will get it anyway.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 I take more the attitude of slowly (but surely) ticking away expanded scores off my wish list. Hook and other fan favourites will come soon, I am quite certain of that. The score is tremendous fun, full of blood-and-guts and glory. It takes itself very seriously and most of the time it is not usual comedic score but heroic and fanfarish and dramatic. Williams plays with known tunes from the period and quotes them at suitable places for comedic effect. The final battle of Hollywood is a classic Williams 1970's and 80's action galore with a tongue firmly in cheek.It will be a revelation to get this score in full form and in good sound quality.

Ollie 1,059 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 1941 is somewhat of a grail for me. The isolated score has been a decent substitute but I think the original album is a very poor representation of the score, not to mention the annoying explosions and Belushi's dialogue at the end of the End Credits. And I'm curious to hear all the cues in their full form.And I saw this from Michael Matessino at FSM. http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?forumID=1&pageID=1&threadID=80405&archive=0Rest assured you will get the end credits both with and without cannons, leaving it up to the listener to decide if the cannons are canon.

Demondm810 399 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 This will be a great release.

Chris ChrusherComix 46 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 This is good news indeed. I'll gladly get 1941 (er, what new Williams release don't I get?), even though the Varese CD and DVD-isolated score are nice, I bet this will have a few surprises. Are we looking for a probably 4th quarter of 2011 deal? Last Christmas was rough on me with all those nice releases at once, haha.I must've missed it... when did Williams nix Sugarland and what reasons were given? (I mean, besides it being not a great score, based on that horrible-sounding bootleg, but it is a big hole in the collections of us JW 'completist' collectors.) That one has been awaited for a LONG time. My collection shelf feels incomplete without it, just filled by the crappy boot as a holder until something legit comes a long.
