thx99 1,740 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 What is the earliest FYC/Oscar promo CD released for a John Williams score? I believe it's Angela's Ashes (1999) but I'm looking for some sort of confirmation. I'm referring only to CDs, not promotional LPs or cassettes that might have been released earlier on. Were there FYC CDs released for any of the following films (from 1999 or later): Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) The Patriot (2000) Minority Report (2002) Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008) Thanks in advance!

Jay 37,364 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I think Angela's Ashes was the first. And for all those other scores if they had FYCs they would be identical to the OSTs anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Well, just discovered that Stepmom had an FYC release in 1998, so that officially makes it the earliest Williams' FYC CD release discovered thus far. And yes, Jay, I know there is no additional music compared to the commercial release - in fact, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" has been left off - but my interest in these FYC releases is primarily as a collector. Note the spelling error in track 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I had somehow forgotten that AI was Warner Bros. I noticed recently that Ready Player One is distributed by Warner and was wondering the last time Spielberg had worked with them. Looks like The Color Purple, Empire of the Sun, AI, and now RPO are the only ones distributed by WB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,364 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Spielberg has spread the love over many various studios over the years eh Though the closest he's come to working with Fox is the US distribution of Minority Report, and international distribution of Lincoln And he never worked with MGM/UA at all!

Jay 37,364 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 The BFG FYC should absolutely contain unreleased music. It's a damn shame it hasn't leaked. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yVGt7auWXg-J1nKqERZ6Bg07SIaDIkT70-sxkx1t_3w/pubhtml We don't even know the freaking lengths of the tracks! crumbs and thx99 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FYC does NOT include narration, and two non-Williams tracks from the commercial release are not on the FYC (Track 7 "The Dipsy Doodle" and Track 10 "Pennies From Heaven").

Naïve Old Fart 9,533 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Oh, I don't know. The EARTHQUAKE logo, superimposed over an Albert Whitlock matte painting, for the vinyl edition, is pretty awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the logo, and Whitlock's paintings are nothing short of astonishing, but the cover does nothing to show off either. I far prefer the CD booklet cover. Is that your copy?
