Hlao-roo 389 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Increasingly, the world of soundtrack score music buyers is a small, collector’s-driven market and the die-hards still expect there to be a physical release. While the days of selling even 20,000 units of a popular, current score are over (with rare exceptions) there is a core following of about ten thousand people worldwide who are avid soundtrack buyers and the trick is connecting with them and providing the kind of quality releases they are thirsting for.I don't know who these people are, but they sound like nuts.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Seriously The Patriot would be cool. I remember the film version of Susan Speaks was awesome. Plus unreleased statements of the love themeAs I recall, the highlights missing from this one are the war montage when they read the letter, the rendezvous in the swamp and the complete version of The Colonial Cause (the beginning part when Gibson rides alongside the Continental Army with the flag) with the ending removed from the album version.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 TI will come either way. As for the other WB titles, i can see fandom leading to a desperate demand for these titles, but except for A. I., i pass. The original releases are perfect the way they are and in JFK's case certainly better than the ramshackle collection of short bridging cues Williams recorded to fit the movie.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 He sure will but does it really matter? The score has three pieces of interest, the main theme (corny as it is), the motorcade cue and Arlington. Collecting 34-second scraps of a middling family theme or the conspirators stuff seems....bottlecaps indeed (to quote another master of deft condension).

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 It's been out of print for probably, what, a decade? There are zero used copies of it available on Amazon right now, and whenever there are, they never go for less than $100.It needs a rerelease.

Jay 37,369 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ditto for me - those are basically the 4 John Williams OSTs I don't own because they are long OOP and ridiculously expensive on the after market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,369 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I almost edited my post to include that - that's the 5th JW album I don't have I actually bought it on ebay once, but when I received I found out it was a fake! Photocopied booklet on a professionally labeled CDR. Bah!At that point I decided to stop hunting down the OOP Williams OSTs I didn't have and just wait for the re-issues. Worked great for Poseidon Adventure, Jane Eyre, The Long Goodbye, Fitzwilly, and Heidi! fommes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,831 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Also Paper Chase/Conrack would be more than welcome re-release as well.Yes, as I just said over at FSM boards, they could include the rest of the Conrack cues (which are in the iso score of the Bluray, though with SFX that I don't find so distracting).The Williams score is around 17-18 minutes and there are 5-6 source cues too. (one of which has been probably written by Williams - the others are classical music) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fommes 153 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Also Paper Chase/Conrack would be more than welcome re-release as well.Just The Paper Chase really - the released Conrack cue is also on that VS compilation album. (Unless there's more they could release for Conrack of course, though I suspect all that's left is that M&E track.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Personally, either the Towering Inferno or Paper Chase. I have some tracks but something in 'hard' form would be decent. Though anything of Jaws 2 would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,369 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 And the title was just revealed! Look at the original reveal it was coming, from way back in September: Can't wait for this score, but I am bummed that one of our planned BLACK FRIDAY titles is now delayed until 2014 due to Mr Williams work on this project. Well, at least we get a new work by him in 2013 and one expanded reissue in 2014! MV And now we know he was referring to The Empire of the Sun, revealed today, and not shipping until the end of June. http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=24469 Man, some things just take forever to get approved and on our shelves!
