No. The details are on Amazon.com. Its the same program on the expanded cd.

 

 

[Josh500 1,611]

Is there anybody here who actually still listens to LPs? I understand they have their own charm, but no practical use whatsoever.

 

Most people here don't even listen to CD's, I bet.

I dont even have a Turntable but Ive been collecting these for quite some time now.  Apparently the Vinyl market is growing. The 2CD Sony version programs of STAR WARS OT will also be getting the same Vinyl treatment as well.

Hipsters!

[Disco Stu 15,475]

I listen to records quite regularly.

[crumbs 12,973]

Concord still have distribution rights for the Indy scores? Fuck! It's been nearly a decade!

Yes. But I don't buy a lot of film scores on vinyl because they're rarely complete. There are some cases where I like the album arrangement, though, and I will buy/listen to the LP... some Mancini albums, for example.

[Brundlefly 2,327]

But there are more and more complete scores on vinyl, like Warlock, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Alien.

[Disco Stu 15,475]

See, I don't generally care about having the C&C albums on vinyl.  On vinyl is where OST programs shine for me.  I have the original '81 Raiders album on vinyl and it's wonderful.  I love to make a cup of tea (or a drink if it's the evening), and the ritual of pulling the record out of the sleeve, placing the needle, and lounging looking at the wonderful big artwork.  It's a very satisfying listening experience!  I've also always loved the concept of splitting up albums into these digestible chunks (sides), especially for older soundtracks that were programmed with sides in mind.

[Smeltington 1,093]

Yes, if you enjoy the original album then having it in is original format is a big part of the fun of collecting LPs. There are some I would buy in reissued, complete format, but I haven't seen any yet that I've felt compelled to buy. I have STTMP and Alien on CD already, and wouldn't really want to rebuy those. There are some Williams scores I would probably rebuy if they were released.

 

I do have some original Williams LPs, like Star Wars, Empire, Close Encounters, Raiders, etc. But I don't listen to those on LP as much as albums from other genres, because I enjoy the complete scores so much.

So this proves Concord's license to release Indiana Jones music isn't over, like Sony's is for Star Wars music.  Bummer.

[Disco Stu 15,475]

Unless, like Sony's vinyl box set last year, this is Concord's last hurrah to squeeze the last bit of money out of the license before it expires!

[Jay 32,101]

Great point!

Yes. Seems like it.

[crumbs 12,973]

That was my thinking too, considering there's no new Indy films on the immediate horizon and there's seemingly no other reason for this release; very out of the blue.

 

Considering Raiders is one of the live to picture scores that Williams has adapted recently, and almost all of those have resulted in Matessino expansions (Raiders, ET and Potter being the only exceptions), hopefully Concord's license was ten years only and MM/JW are developing an expansion for release next year.

Im sure the Indy expansions will come at the right time and rather unexpectedly. The labels are taking opportunity to rake the Vinyl market.

 

Expect more STAR WARS related Vinyls  from Disney when the Movie Concerts  begin during the year as a tie in merchendise....its not over yet.

 

 

[A Farewell to Kings 3,795]

It is for me sister, I'm not in it for Vinyl Records, and I'm not in it for Cassettes: I'm in it for the CD's.

Sadly, yes. Who's that broad we emailed about the box set before it came out? I wonder if she's still there. Maybe she fucking runs the place now.

Has, has! Not have!

[phbart 557]

They should've just repressed the 1995 DCC 2LP album, same cover, linear notes and everything. We would get complete "Well of the Souls", "Desert Chase" and "Washington Ending / Raiders March"

 

I don't care much for "Washington Men / Indy's Home", "Bad Dates" and "Indy Rides The Statue".

She probably collected all the session tapes and threw them in a furnace.

[Bespin 7,011]

Do we have a catalogue number for this reissue, I'm currently adding it to my website.

 

EDIT: Sorry I just found it

[Incanus 5,589]

And don't forget they have this on LP as well!

 

[Naïve Old Fart 7,990]

Exactly. Since I have the DCC, vinyl of ROTLA, I'll skip this. The Korngold looks tasty, though.
