JohnnyD 1,223 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Hello. La La Land Records is having their annual Black Friday announcement. Is it possible that one of the items being announced is another expanded release of one of Maestro John Williams's scores? If so, have there been any hints of this? I'm just curious.

Though, that thread is a discussion of all stuff from La La Land Records. I was wondering about just one of the LLL releases from their upcoming Black Friday sale being an expanded release of the Maestro's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 It would be cool if LLL does have an expanded release of one of John Williams's scores for their Black Friday sale.Here is the thing. Have there been any official hints of an expanded release of the Maestro's work from LLL for their Black Friday announcement? If not, then this is just pure speculation based on nothing at all.

It's like FSM rising from the dead to announce a re-release of GREMLINS - in short, desperation.They wouldn't re-release an in-print score from their own catalog. Home Alone is not in print however. More importantly, MV has hinted that this title would be re-issued at some point this year and as others in this thread have pointed out, one of the titles in their Black Friday line-up has all of the right names on it to be Home Alone. Personally, I don't care if it gets reissued as I already have LLL's first release, which is fine as it is. It's still a reasonable guess though. I'd like to add that it's possible there won't be any other Williams' titles in the batch. That would be okay with me as well, after all, we just got both of his Jaws scores.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'll bet it's either Far and Away or The River and I'd be happy with either one.I would pass on both of those bottle caps. The OSTs are more than enough.Regarding Home Alone, that was a score I wanted complete for decades. When we finally got it, I rarely listened to it. As is usually the case with the OST vs. modern expanded/complete score, the album flows better and has a more pleasing sound. The LLL version was brighter and louder, of course. I got to tell you, getting through that complete/chronological presentation is a chore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OSTs are more than enough.The River has that great bit at the beginning of the movie with the drum beat. I've always wanted that on disc.Far and Away could have some great alternates as we've heard from that awful sounding Vol. 2 bootleg.I don't feel we really need another Home Alone though.
