JohnnyD 1,224 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 So, I guess his score to Jaws will be shipped out sometime next week, if not this weekend, since I was one of the first, if not the first, to order it. Am I right on that? Next week per Intrada.I thought so. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uni 306 Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 This is what I get for not getting over to the JW forum for a while. How the hell did I miss this one. . . ? I knew about Jaws 2, and have been appropriately excited about getting my copy of it. I wonder if, when I glanced over the list of new releases, I misread "JAWS 2-CD" to mean Jaws 2. On CD, I guess. (Please don't ask me to explain how my brain works.)This is great news as well, though I have to say for once I'm slightly less interested in the new material than in the new sound of the old material. I've always thought this had something of a distant, "dusty" sound to it, not completely inappropriate for an ocean mystery but sadly inferior to so much of JW's usual Golden Age sound. It gave some cues (like "Ben Gardner's Boat," for instance) a sort of melancholic, almost disinterested manner, like the orchestra was too distracted to put a complete effort into their performance. I know that wasn't the case, and I'm thrilled to get to hear what it should've sounded like all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much livelier than the Decca. And the liner notes! They're long, but very detailed and interesting throughout IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 2,072 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 Listening to the OST disc now. I disagree that the original release is better, but it's definitely not on the same level as the score presentation, as far as sound quality goes. Really a shame that a more homogenous sound wasn't possible between the two recordings, but I'm not that surprised. I'm sure Mike and the gang did the best they could.

publicist 4,643 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yay Jaws is here! Listening to the first disc now! It sounds brilliant! I wouldn't go quite as far, but since i was mainly interested in the MCA record i say that i can let this score rest now, it finally doesn't sound like it was recorded in an empty yellow barrel. One minor problem i have with both remasters, JAWS and JAWS 2: while both have the expected modern sheen to it and aren't brickwalled or anything i find them tad too...let's say unanalogue. The sound is so technicolor-bright it feels like one of these ultra-brilliant de-grained 4k remasters of old movies. Minor issue, since i JAWS is a definitive presentation but still...A friend sent me some choice cuts from JAWS 2 and i think no upgrade is necessary.

publicist 4,643 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Film music can be a life and death issue, i know.All things considered i find releases as this, complete with the high school band performing Sousa marches and Joplin rags, more than a little over the top. I just don't see what many fans get from this stuff, even many of the alternates i found to be throwaways but this is pure academic reasoning since i have ripped the LP program and lo and behold, it's all i need. Others may want 120 minutes and they got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The new governing doctrine is that old albums are redundant artifacts that sound too "analogue" and don't have enough music. They are now obsolete and must be replaced by cleaner, more "digital" sounding complete sets to be filed away in people's personal Library of Congress archives.
