What is your Holy Grail of Soundtracks?

Recommended Posts

You know, that one that you desperately want that other than what is presented on the OST, with not much else to get the music from. Or the soundtrack has not been released at all. Anyway, I have two.

Temple of Doom. At least have a release like they did for Raiders.

Star Trek 5: TFF. There is so much good stuff left off the OST, including Spock's brothers theme that I wish there was a complete boot or something like that out there. With no sound effects and good quality.

These may sound cheap to some, but these are ones that I desparately want.

Stew,

As far as John Williams scores go, I would really like to hear a proper recording of the score to Black Sunday, as well as a legitimate CD release of Cinderella Liberty that includes the songs. Oh, and Images, which I have never heard! :wow:

As for other composers, there are too many to mention. However, one that I have wanted for about 10 years is a release of Lalo Schifrin's music for the first series of Starsky & Hutch, especially his theme music adapted from one of the cues in the original pilot. Although Tom Scott's theme is now universally famous, I have always liked Schifrin's theme more.

Oh yes, I'd also like a 2 CD set of The Rare Breed and The Plainsman. Now I'm just being greedy. They will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine!

Now that I look at it,most of the essential Williams scores have already had a decent expanded release or have been releassed(like Towering Inferno,Fury...ect...)

Here's basically what's left for me:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom,Complete Score

Hook,Complete Score

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,Compete Stone

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,Complete Score.

Some of the other Williams unreleased scores would be for mostly collecting purpose,like Black Sunday or Cinderella liberty,I have the boots and can't say I am restless about legit releases(hough I would buy them),because my collecting obeissiveness has somewhat tapered now.

Mainly two:

EMPIRE OF THE SUN Complete (there are about 9 unreleased tracks)

FAMILY PLOT (one of Williams' best scores, and there is one only track available)

I want more, of course, but those are the most important ones.

I tend to agree with the earlier posts. We all want an expanded Indy : Temple of Doom and Harry Potter PS. I also desire someday a proper offical release of Goldsmith's Alien with all the soundtrack and alternatives etc. That could be a wonderfully high selling release. I just dont understand why they wont do that. I think it would sell like hotcakes. I have the Silva screen one, but its just a meer shadow of the full score. Also the theme to the TV series Grizzly Adams is very important for release (only joking)

Or even a re-recording of Wrath of Khan. :)

I'd love to hear it recorded with recent sound technology. :P

P.S : And unless i get this re-recording soon, it will task me...it will task me and i will have it. I'll pursue it round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares malestrom and round perdition's flames before I give it UP! : Melange lays back in voluptous satisfaction rubbing his hands together :)

Hmmm,I was thinking about this...with some of the newer recordings,some of the stuff recorded 10 years ago sounds sort of crappy when I listen to it now.Probably this has to do with the generally better audio technology.Also,I notice compared to other composers,Williams scores took a long time to be recorded DDD.Even JP was analogue.

That new Silva Indy c.d.,even though the interpretation of the music may be questionnable,does seem to sound great on the clips available.

TPM UE sounds better than the original release?

IMO yes,I especially notice it with the Trip to Coruscant fanfare,it's awsome on the UE,it just leaps at you

I haven't bought this CD 'cause of money matters, but I hope one of this days I'll get it, they should lower it down to about $20 at least! $29.99, it's crazy! Not to mention that it says "Every note Williams composed" which is not true.

Who cares,a lot of 1 hour of unreleased music that IS on the UE,edit or not, is some of Williams finest,like Fighting the Droids,Are you an Angel,Talk of Podracing,The Dark Side Plots,The Pod Roars to Life,Hail to the Winner, Anakin Skylwalker,Anakin is Free,Desert Duel,The Tide Turns...and a lot more,unlike Aotc where I can only find 1 or 2 big omssion on the c.d..

Jake Speed complete - Mark Snow

Any REJECTED SCORE not on my list.

MillenniuM season 2 and 3 promos - Mark Snow

Back when scoretrader was alive i made a post lookinf for it in another section besides the trade area and someone replied saying something like they had an expanded version with good sound and stereo??? Please, i made a hugh mistake by not e-mailing you back. If you are here or someone here has the complete score is good to perfect sound, i am willing to do 10 score cd-r trade.

SUPERMAN!!!!!

I liked it much more after seeing again with the remastered DVD. :sigh: Err' date=' that is movie, not score.

Really? I did not know that, and also I have always wonder why they recorded Schindler's List analog. And if JP was too, why wasn't that disclaimer in the JP soundtrack?

The idea was that analogue sounds more warm than digital. And I've never heard that JP was analogue... I can't find any ADD or even DDD on my CD.

Maybe I'm not understanding totally, but I thought the point of this post was "that one that you desperately want...other than what is presented on the OST, with not much else to get the music from. Or the soundtrack has not been released at all."

By that definition, Jaws, Superman, and The Empire Strikes back are pretty well taken care of, unless of course you want to hack up the "Losing a Hand/Hyperspace" with pieces of "The Imperial March" for Vader returning to the Executor. I don't.

Besides, the bootlegs of Hook and The Last Crusade are more than enough for me, but were an expanded release of the third Indy to be included as a complete Indiana Jones Trilogy Anthology, then I'd be really happy, because Raiders is missing a bit, and the existing Temple of Doom cues are laughable at best in their incompletion.

I'd really like the expanded Star Trek V score as well, but I really don't think there's much more music in Star Trek II that didn't make the soundtrack. I'd love to see an complete The Lord of the Rings Anthology once Return of the King is released, even with all the repeated cues scattered throughout the movie, but I'm sure something like this will be on shelves before Obi-Wan "kills" Anakin in 2005. The only way we'll probably ever hear the complete and correct Episode I score is with all the multiple bootlegs, and I'm not sure I really want to hear the Episode II score as heard in the film, just how Williams originally wrote it.

I'd love to hear a complete Jurassic Park, one that isn't all mixed up and renamed to make an "album." Oh, and all the Harry Potter fans can have their beloved scores complete just to make them happy.

I'd also like to have the complete score to Gods and Generals once it's out, since if the rumours of a 6 hour film on DVD are true, at best that's still 3+ hours of score.

Enough rambling, it's time for the football games to commence!

I'm happy to notice that I'm not alone here with my "Holy Grail"... FAMILY PLOT !!!!!!!!

Other "to die for" John Williams releases would be the complete, authentic scores for DRACULA (1979) and THE AMAZING STORIES: GHOST TRAIN & THE MISSION (with naturally the gorgeous authentic "Main Title" and "End Title").

The existing Temple of Doom cues are laughable at best in their incompletion.

I agree. After watching it yesterday again it makes me cry (well, not literally) everytime i watch it and recognize the utter travesty the normal release soundtrack is. JW picked out some wonderful bits mind you for the album. But all those pure thematic gems peppered throughout the movie MUST appear on a CD someday for our pleasure. So many damn good cues such as when they're entering the Indian village for example. :cry:

But I really don't think there's much more music in Star Trek II that didn't make the soundtrack.

I have to disagree. There are several amazing little cues that did'nt make it.

I stay up late at night shivering and dreaming about them while staring at the moon.

I'd really like the expanded Star Trek V score as well

That's another one where the little short cues are the gems sought.

But i truly dont think that's something which is going to appear soon.

Here are the missing cues from Wrath of Khan:

    "Surprise on Ceti Alpha V" :42"Eels of Ceti Alpha V" 2:34
    "Kirk in Space Shuttle" 1:12
    "Chekov Lies" :38
    "Kirk Takes Command" 1:38
    "He Tasks Me" :23
    "Genesis Project" 1:24 (composed by Craig Huxley)
    "Inside Regula One" 1:28
    "Brainwashed" 1:23
    "Captain Terrell's Death" 1:56
    "Buried Alive" :53
    "Genesis Cave" 1:07
    "Enterprise Attacks Reliant" 1:27
    "Spock" 1:50 (interpolating Theme from Star Trek TV Series by Alexander Courage & Gene Roddenberry)
      That comes to about 20 minutes worth of music. Plenty of music to fill a complete CD release.

I should give credit where it's due. I just went through Jeff Bond's excellent book, "The Music of Star Trek" to get those cue titles and lengths.

I really want that music where Captain Terrell kills himself. Great suspense.

Oh and uh....one of those Trek II CD's found in Iraq, um....is sort of missing. :devil:

Sounds like a good book. Btw i was going through the cavern of old things here at home today and found my original cassette of ST2 Wrath of Khan which i had to do with in the dark ages before CD's came onto the scene.. Oh, that gave me many years of listening pleasure in my car's tape player.

I should have it hung up on a wall in a gilded frame.

PS is now more so on my list.

:devil:

I just rented the Philosopher' Stone DVD(more than a year sinceI saw the film)and noticed that one my favourite unreleased cue"The House Cup",some of it had not been been re-recorded properly for CoS in Reunion of Friends...

0.45-2.24 Track 19 on the CoS album is the re-recorded part,ending with Harry's theme,but the even more majestic rendition of Harry's theme that follows in PS(when other students high-five Harry and congratulate him),and WHY I thought this was a great cue,is still missing.I thought the CoS version was a bit weak(not the Leaving Hogwarts part that follows,that's a different story)...now I know why.

other great cues:

Diagon Alley(or Entry ino the Great Hall,which I think is a edited version of thet))

Olivander' s Wand

The Hogwarts Express

The Sorting Hat(great rendition of the Hogwarts theme)

K.M.Who thinks Ron did say "erection".

I stand corrected. That's awesome that there's so much more music, because I'm sick and tired of all these 45 minute Star Trek score albums, I want more. I guess I never noticed, since I usually just concentrate on the visuals and dialogue when I watch Star Trek II.

Also, I second those requests for complete Willow and The Brave Little Toaster!
