Admin note: This thread is largely hype for the release before it's release date, and then ordering/shipping/"it's arrived!"  talk afterward; Please relocate to the following thread to discuss the actual musical content of the release:

[crumbs 15,762]

Well I didn't see that coming!!!!! 

 

They did trick us! 

[Arpy 4,218]

OH SHIT!

 

I'll definitely pick this one up!

[Frank Vincent 295]

A dream come true.  Thank you La-La Land!

[Jay 43,879]

Well that's some nifty cover art!  I've never seen that artwork before!

 

"35th Anniversary Remastered Edition".  Hmmm, I wonder what the tracklist is

[crumbs 15,762]

Great cover art! Something unused from the archives?

 

Good to see the Matessino/Williams/Spielberg/Universal/Amblin collaboration forging ahead after last year's superb Jurassic set.

 

Potentially Schindler's List might be in the works for the 25th Anniversary next year?

[Naïve Old Fart 12,142]

As long as it has the THE QUIET MAN stuff, I'll be happy. That's been a holy grail of mine for some time.

Well done, LLL!

[Incanus 5,882]

OMG! OMG! OMG!

[Code 000. Destruct. 0. 4,261]

I am happy for those who will now have what the AI release is for me.

[Jay 43,879]

Artwork seems to take the houses from this?

 

[Incanus 5,882]

Now all we need to know is the tracklist!

[Manakin Skywalker 5,729]

I remember this morning (and I'm not kidding) I was taking a shit and thought to myself, "I wonder if LLL will announce anything in the next week, and if there'll be anything Williams-related".

[crumbs 15,762]

Wish I hadn't listened to the previous expansion earlier in the week.  Would've been nice to save myself up.

 

Looking at the excellent cue list breakdown here, there's a lot more revisions and alternates than I realised, not even factoring in the OST tracks.

 

Wonder how MM has handled the inserts for Escape/Chase/Goodbye and which version will appear in the complete chronological score presentation on disc 1? I prefer the insert included but that wasn't JWs original intention.

I expect they have championed the inclusion of the film version in main score programme and the original version in the extras. Unless they include the OST in the set and then it would be there already and they would not probably replicate it in the score programme. But when Matessino is involved I trust that the presentation is going to be awesome.

MM always puts the takes and inserts chosen for the film in the main program and original versions without inserts in the bonus track area

Good ol' MM.

The art work is flopped.

 

THE QUIET MAN Yipee!  (closes eyes, and raises one heel)

 

And not a Lorant Bozo in sight!

[Jay 43,879]

The more I look at the cover art, the more I love it!

[crumbs 15,762]

Excellent and logical! This set is going to be fantastic. Is there any reason this wouldn't all fit on 2 discs?

[Jay 43,879]

There is no reason that everything recorded for this film wouldn't fit on two discs, no.  The complete score easily fits on one, the OST was only 40 minutes, there are way less than 40 minutes worth of alternates we know about, including that theme park music

[Pawel P. 871]

I hope it includes a fantastic Botanicus Theme Williams composed in 1991 specifically for the E.T. Adventure ride attraction. Actually, I can't imagine a complete E.T. without this.

[Incanus 5,882]

Would they include a theme park ride material on a score release as it is not part of the original score and was composed so many years later? Seems somewhat unlikely but I am happy to be proven wrong on this.

[Brundlefly 2,400]

Oh, they're finally going to treat the 80s!

[Jay 43,879]

Empire of the Sun doesn't count?

[Brundlefly 2,400]

Well, as you may have noticed, it's the only one that has got a definitive release yet.

I mean, look how much of the 90s is already done.

 

Do you think that nullifies the chance, that we'll get Close Encounters this year?

[Jay 43,879]

Of course I noticed.

 

I vote for Temple of Doom and Empire Strikes Back as the next 80s titles to tackle!

[Holko 11,671]

So how do we get these in Europe without it costing at least 40 more with shipping and customs? Wait for somebody to put it up on Amazon and Ebay?

[Jay 43,879]

Europeans can buy it through Music Box Records to save on shipping:

[scallenger 644]

I echo the statement of wanting the music from the ride. I know it isn't from the film, but how else would we ever get such music? It's a golden opportunity (something I wish would have been done for Back to the Future, but at least we have that old re-recording for it). I can see the hurdle of rights issues, of course.

[crumbs 15,762]

I totally forgot about the theme park music! Surely if MM wanted it included, a quick phone call from Spielberg could have the planets align?

 

Don't get your hopes up though.

[Stempel 136]

Great news!

[Jay 43,879]

In order for the theme park music to be included,

 

1) All rights issues must be sorted out

 

2) The source element for the recording must be located and transferred

 

3) JW must approve of its inclusion on the set

[Amer 2,642]

I like the artwork-I'm thinking it must be Jim Titus! Another great talent from LLL team.

For now we don't know if that hasn't been done, but I guess it's safe to assume it probably won't be included...

Jim Titus has done every one of the LLL / JW / SS expansions so far, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't do these two as well!

 

He is unequivocally the best in the business, hands down.

[Bilbo 4,045]

This is wonderful news!

He is indeed. I'm quite sure he is on board for the rest of series. The only LLL; release he didnt do was ROSEWOOD. 

 

[Jay 43,879]

That's why I included SS in my assessment

 

He also didn't do the first version of Home Alone, nor older stuff like Poseidon Adventure

[Amer 2,642]

Just now, Jay said:

I know you did. That's why I mentioned LLL as only. 

[Arpy 4,218]

The cover doesn't say "Expanded" but 2 discs and such has to mean it's expanded, right? I'm not just being an idiot?

[Jay 43,879]

Of course its expanded.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 11,269]

Pretty cool to hear about an expanded E.T. while attending a screening of Close Encounters.

[bollemanneke 4,133]

Can't really say I'm excited for this, but at least this will be a reason to delete the 'complete' fan edit...

[Josh500 1,620]

Great news! Yeah, ET... I definitely didn't see this coming.

[rough cut 1,783]

Great news!

 

Don't get your hope up regarding any Theme Park music. It seems unlikely.

 

So how will this (OST) remaster differ from the one that will be in the 4K BluRay set?

It appears that this Blu ray 4k release will only contain the OST album. Whereas LLL will be issuing both the complete soundtrack assembly of disc 1 and the 1982 OST album on disc 2 (with possible alternates bonus cues) in their 2 CD presentation. We should wait for the official details in coming weeks.

I imagine so.

[Bespin Copilot 10,052]

At last!

[crocodile 9,338]

Looks great. Hope Close Encounters release is not far behind.

How do you remaster a remastered soundtrack?
