Burbank, CA – La-La Land Records proudly presents, in association with Warner Bros. Entertainment and Warner Music Group, HARRY POTTER – THE JOHN WILLIAMS SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION, a limited edition, 7-CD box set containing Academy Award-Winning composer John Williams’ newly remastered, restored and expanded scores for the first three films in the HARRY POTTER series: HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE (2001), HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS (2002) and HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (2004). This deluxe presentation is composer approved and contains a bounty of previously unreleased music, featuring a total running time of just under eight hours (7:57)!

 

Housed in an attractive hardcover slipcase, this limited edition release of 5000 units contains the following:

 

- A 3-CD SET of the Oscar-nominated HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE score, remastered and expanded, with the film score presented across Discs One and Two and special Bonus Content from SORCERER’S STONE on Disc Three, including the first-ever recorded presentation of the complete “Children’s Suite for Orchestra” that the composer arranged and conducted in 2001. Recorded during the first film’s scoring sessions, only half of its content was integrated into the 2001 soundtrack release.

The 3-CD jewel case also contains a 36-page booklet chronicling the production of the score in great detail, featuring many quotes from the composer, the musicians and behind-the-scenes artists.

 

- A 2-CD SET of the HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS score, remastered and expanded, with a 24-page booklet chronicling the production of the score, with quotes from the composer, musicians and other artists.

 

- A 2-CD SET of the Oscar-nominated HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN score, remastered and expanded, also with a 24-page booklet chronicling the production of the score, with quotes from the composer, musicians and other artists.

 

- AN ADDITIONAL 44-PAGE BOOKLET, housed within the slipcase, featuring general music information and track listings for all three scores.

 

 

Produced, assembled and mastered by Mike Matessino, all three scores were fully remastered from the original 5.1 and stereo mixes by Simon Rhodes (SORCERER’S STONE & CHAMBER OF SECRETS) and Shawn Murphy (PRISONER OF AZKABAN). For SORCERER’S STONE, the original analog master tapes were newly transferred at high resolution and the score was meticulously re-edited and output from the first-generation material for maximum quality.

 

The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are written by Mike Matessino and the release’s wizard-worthy art design is by Jim Titus.

Limited to 5000 units, HARRY POTTER – THE JOHN WILLIAMS SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION is a joyous film music release for the ages! It will be available for order from www.lalalandrecords.com starting November 27, 2018 (12 noon pst) and the retail price is $99.98

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!

[Holko 10,006]

That price, fuck me

[Incanus 5,784]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Richard Penna 3,999]

Yeah that's not cheap. Worth it though.

No not cheap but totally worth it! I'll pay whatever you want LLL! 

[BuzzLightyear 143]

Wow!!! 😍

[Holko 10,006]

No tracked cues on Chamber, but does have the unleaked 3NL for the opening sink!

[Chewy 2,471]

My god this is just great!!!!

[Incanus 5,784]

LLL folks and Mike Matessino making JWFans' dreams come true for several years now.  

[Obi 409]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

 

[Alan 697]

Dare I say it looks perfect?? Children's suite, alternates, even the Azkaban trailer!

 

This will be mine!

[Incanus 5,784]

And did Mike unearth the music for the HPPS original trailer? Wow!

[Bilbo 3,746]

I'm not crying, you're crying! 

[Holko 10,006]

Azkaban doesn't have two credits pieces. Does that mean the one included has both the extended Hedwig last note AND the film insert, how I prefer it to be? Or does the ending of the Firebolt alternate cover one?

 

I guess I'll wait for European sellers to get it, I won't risk customs shit with a price this high.

[Chewy 2,471]

So this is a year for the books, we can say that!!

[crumbs 14,584]

[Bilbo 3,746]

Pity about the massive error or the front cover of Philosopher's Stone. Hopefully they can fix it in time! 

[TSMefford 1,525]

Now that the initial excitement has happened....I will admit I find some of the cue combos rather odd.

What are you referring to?

[Holko 10,006]

They got the bloody title wrong!

[Bilbo 3,746]

Just now, Jay said:

It's got the wrong title. 

[TSMefford 1,525]

Just now, Jay said:

 

What are you referring to?

I'm assuming the fact that it says "Sorcerer's" and not "Philosopher's"

[Bilbo 3,746]

Actually, the Philosopher's Stone front cover is different in the main image compared to the individual one. 

[Holko 10,006]

Time for photoshop wizardry - who will pick up Steef's mantle as the LLL wrong paper fixer?

The castle image is the cover art for the clamshell case that holds the HP1 set inside the main set, while the Hagrid/Harry picture is the cover of the booklet inside said clamshell case.

[Brundlefly 2,392]

@Jay, you knew it, right?

[bollemanneke 3,529]

Jay, are you able/allowed to answer questions about this set publicly yet, or should I wait until Tuesday?

[TSMefford 1,525]

1 minute ago, Brundlefly said:

@Jay, you knew it, right?

Of course he did. Lol.

 

I have so many questions about the PoA tracklist. Like these odd (imo) cue combos:

3. Parents’ Portrait and The Empty Playground 1:02

5. Monster Book and Discussing Black 2:00

24. Buckbeak’s Fate and The Marauder’s Map 3:15

 

Is this 

7. Double Trouble 1:38

Not the film version? If so, is that not included in this set?

 

What is this? 

9. The Wizards’ Consort 2:48

 

This will be so much fun.

 

[Bayesian 1,418]

This production looks like pure class. I couldn't have hoped for anything better. Talk about pulling out all the stops! 7 discs, hours of new material, reams of liner notes, top-shelf packaging... $100 for all this is a BARGAIN and that is an incontrovertible fact. I really believe this will sell out before we know it.

wow.I was really prepared to be dissapointed

 

I don't care how much it costs.. It's the most important JW release ever

 

I don't like the idea it's limited.. i wonder how fast this will sell out. General Potter fans might want this too

 

 

[crocodile 8,361]

It's alright.

 I forget.. do you have to add the shipping manually and add 2$ for each c.d. or the checkout calculates it for you?  I don't remember having to manually add 6$ because there was 4 c.d 's  in the JP set

[Jurassic Shark 12,776]

I'm sure Warner will be granting new batches once the initial 5000 units sell out.

[Jay 38,747]

I honestly have no idea if this can or will be printed again if the first 5,000 sell out.  I wouldn't suggest anyone wait to order this one.

If it proves so popular that it sells out very quick I can't see why they wouldn't. 

 

I'm just worried it'll sell out straight away and I won't be able to order on Tuesday 🤣

[TownerFan 4,998]

I'm speechless. What a great gift!

 

Thanks already to Mike Matessino, MV and Jay for this MASSIVE release. I cannot wait!

One of the reasons I'm not worried about the price, it might be prohibitively expensive for more casual soundtrack fans.

Okay, I'll post them anyway before I forget them.

 

HP1

- Wasn't Letters from Hogwarts and Hagrid's Entrance supposed to be one cue in the movie?

- Is You're A Wizard, Harry complete?

- Is Fighting The Troll a combination of Troll in the Dungeons and Fighting The Troll?

- What is Cast A Christmas Spell? The album suite or a combination of the ghosts and music box?

- Is Neville Stiffens It's Guarding Something?

- Can you explain the difference between the two Harry's Wondrous Worlds?

 

Chamber of Secrets:

- Why did they put The Library first?

- What is Harry's Wondrous World here?

 

Prisoner of Azkaban?

- What is different about the Lumos! Hedwig's Theme versions?

- Where is Aunt Marge Points The Finger?

- What is Double Trouble, the album version? In that case, where is Something Wicked Intro?

- What is Trouble Takes Many Forms?

- What is The Three Broomsticks?

- What is The Firebolt and End Credit Suite?

- What is the Wizards' Consort?

- What is Aunt Marge's Waltz (alternate?)

- Did Williams veto any tracks, aka are all recorded POA alts here?

 

Thanks a lot in advance, also for whatever you might have done to make this happen. Alarm clock will be set for 9:01 PM on Tuesday.

What did Jay do - proof-read the liner notes and leave in one mistake? 

[1977 1,745]

My main concern (other than a quick sell out) is that my box will arrive all dinged up

 

[Bayesian 1,418]

LLL's computers are going to be ready for hundreds of people simultaneously placing orders at 12 noon on Tuesday, I imagine? Right?? Because, no joke, that's precisely what's going to happen.
