Sandor 797 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Why?If they're going to release a never before released score, I hope it's Daddy O. Kinda cool to have Williams' first film score.If its going to be an expanded score, I'd say bring on Hook..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oboeboy 0 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I would also love a more complete (and hopefully better quality too) realease for Dracula. This really is a wonderful score, and a great, and sometimes overlooked, part of my favorite Williams decade starting around Jaws. As you can choose just about any score, and give a rough estimate on when it was written just on how it sounds compared to others. So, too, does Dracula fit quite perfectly in amidst Star Wars, and ESB and Raiders. All winners in my book. In anyway, the current release for Dracula just doesn't give the credit that the score deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the score is absolutely gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,020 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 It is also the only romantic gothic horror score John Williams has ever composed.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy4 155 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I think Dracula's too mainstream, probably not out of left field. I'd love Daddy-0 also - historically because it's important, but also the main titles are great.I still can't imagine a label releasing Sugarland Express against JW's will - why would you ever piss off somebody that you basically worship - but maybe Williams changed his mind?

filmmusic 1,843 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I don''t think he ever said the reason. i imagine he doesn't feel it's apt for a release.So, is it one more month and 4 days until we hear an announcement for the big batch or sooner?(imagine no Williams release in that batch! hehehehe) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,796 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 He thinks his main theme concert version (or suite) is enough to represent the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The labels don't need the composer's direct involvement for these releases(unless it's vital to find some materials), but they however have to make attention to do something that's fine to him.Maybe someone finally convinced Williams to authorize a release of Sugarland. It happened in the past: he initially nixed the release of Jaws original film recording (apparently he wasn't much satisfied with the performance/recording), but in 2000 he then signed it off.

Delorean90 42 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The aforementioned opening and closing titles, in addition to the also-aforementioned race through the swamp, is enough to justify the score's release. The suite is great, but it focuses on the darker side of the score in its approach to the theme, missing the charm of the main title rendition.

JWfangirl1992 18 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Pretty much every JW release is an exciting prospect. I personally wouldn't mind an expansion on some of the dramatic scores. Stuff like Memoirs of a Geisha and Seven Years in Tibet should be filled with alternatesThat would be excellent, or Sabrina I absolutely love that score.

TownerFan 4,990 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I just thought that two titles that would be really as far from the left field and totally unexpected would also be Far and Away and The Patriot. They would both make really fine 2-CD set expansions, imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SF1_freeze 131 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 A remastered Jaws would be a big letdown right now cause the several (!) released versions of the score are more than enough especially with the newest one still available... in a few years though, i would definetly support a remaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Jaws is still somewhere on my list of JW scores that need definitive treatment.Better sound quality (especially the album recording), arrangement (Main Title and Chrissie's Death should be separated) and extensive liner notes.

indy4 155 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 So, since this release probably isn't going to be Hook, what are the chances that Hook is coming out soon and Matessino is not involved?

Because that seems to be our only hope of getting it soon, since he's only in on one more JW release.Wasn't he involved with ANY Goldsmith/Williams release in the last years save for Intrada (i don't know for sure)?It would be like a VARIETY article about filmmusic without Jon Burlingname, wouldn't it?So we can assume that HOOK isn't coming...on the other hand, this means Koray Savas is in for a hard and severe punishment, as promised.
