Bespin 8,480 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I was serious, make a WAV of your mint vinyl, anyone, I will restore it. I did several restorations for Miguel, I'm not a profesionnal, but my restorations are pretty good I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 To be honest, the Dracula OST is too repetitive. It's like the same fucking theme over and over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Thornhill 19 Posted July 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2018 DRACULA has always been my favorite score by Williams. So many great themes and orchestrations ... and certainly in a fertile period of his career, on the heels of STAR WARS, SUPERMAN and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. I have a small anecdote about this score to share. Back in 2002, to help publicize his new recording "American Journey", John Williams (along with Yo Yo Ma) came for s signing at a Costco (!) in Marina Del Rey, CA. An unlikely venue to be sure, but a blessing for me, as I live in the area. Needless to say, there was quite a line in the store. I had the great pleasure of meeting him and also Yo Yo Ma. I have uploaded a photo from that day. When I produced my original DRACULA LP for him to sign, he seemed surprised to see it, almost like he'd forgotten about it. I think he said something like, "Oh gosh, that was a long time ago". Yo Yo Ma looked over the cover and smiled. Both Williams and You Yo Ma were very nice. I got to shake both of their hands - and received a nice signature on my DRACULA LP! One other thing to add, maybe 5-6 years ago, I was at the Hollywood Bowl, and Williams conducted a haunting suite from DRACULA, with film clips. I know that he has input on what music he conducts when he is there. So perhaps he has a warm spot for that score after all. Let's hope that the score is discovered or re-recorded in its entirety.

publicist 4,643 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 The idea of Williams spending a day at Costco next to bargain sale items and family size Snickers packs is almost better than the signature. Fabulin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also heard varsee is planning a new release. Does anyone have any knowledge of this or when it may become available? It seems Richard Strauss was right all along!

Popular Post Kasey Kockroach 2,343 Posted April 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 2, 2020 Safe to say I think this score's indeed been lost and will never, ever get a re-release. Certainly not from Varese. That'd be ridiculous. bollemanneke, Yavar Moradi, crumbs and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,338 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Yeah, to think that Mike Matessino might tackle that score one day was always foolish. I mean, really? Kasey Kockroach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
