Sound quality is awesome, and I'd say we got 95% per cent of the highlights! Besides, I remember we were pretty excited and thrilled when this came out.... I was so happy with the Concorde box set, going from the TOD 40+ original LP to what we have now is amazing. TOD is in my top 5 so I'd welcome a complete release, but I'm more than ok with the Concorde set. Josh500 and mstrox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I love the new cover for HPSS (well, HPPS)! Too bad the other two didn’t receive custom covers as well but this isn’t a complaint, just a comment. I’m sure there was a reason for this that will be later revealed. I guess there’s no reason to hold onto the OSTs anymore since all of it is presented here. I love the list of bonus music for each film. I can’t wait to hear the alternates and isolated teaser/trailer music. I’m sure I’m in the minority but I would have also liked to see a vocal less version of Double Trouble.

Richard Penna 3,687 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I never really 'got' the Double Trouble thing. The instrumental score parts are nice but the actual song with the children's' choir is just annoying. --- I am likely going to use PoA to construct a personal album rather than keeping the whole lot. PS and CoS I'll likely keep as they are. Gruesome Son of a Bitch, Bilbo and Yavar Moradi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to listen to these scores a ton, but I tired of the schmaltzy childish Home Alone/Hook-esque JW musical stylings. There's a bit of that in TPM, but it doesn't go full schmaltz like the Potters and that's my limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I probably care most about the Window to the Past variations, Rescue of Sirius and lots of little short highlights dotted around. The time-travel related cues are largely dull for me. Come to think of it, it might be that I just remove those bits and end up with a nice album.

Tell me about it, even a regular $19.99 CD that a couple of years ago would have been automatic buys are now like a decent amount of money over here. That coupled with the difficulty of getting such releases here is disencouraging. I love LLL and they've done a terrific job (I love their Williams, Batman:TAS sets and more), but I kinda wish this had been a joint release with Watertower music (or whatever WB label is) so I could buy it from Amazon, which is extremely reliable with shipping.

I recently dug up my copies of the three OSTs, so I could listen to them again in my car. I thought it could be interesting to give those edits and highlights a listen after falling in love with the recording sessions and knowing them by heart. I was mistaken. Maybe it's just me, but I missed the full cues, and I found the repetition of themes rather annoying. So glad LLL is giving us this treat.

Balahkay 627 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 That’s one reason I was hoping for a vocal less version of “Double Trouble” like “Walking Home” from Home Alone. I love the melody but I’d prefer to hear it without the children choir and the instrumention sounds quite interesting from what I could hear.

Popular Post Josh500 1,615 Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 I didn't know this! According to Wikipedia: Quote Because the American title was different, all scenes that mention the philosopher's stone by name had to be re-shot, once with the actors saying "philosopher's" and once with "sorcerer's". Seriously, what a hassle! The movie (and book) is known the world over as Philosopher's Stone, as being the English title... Only the American kids apparently didn't like or understand it. The British author of this British book gave it a title, namely Philosopher's Stone! Who is so arrogant as to simply go ahead and change that willy-nilly? I remember reading an interview with JK Rowling where she admitted that she regretted the decision to allow the Americans to change the title of her book and its adaptation. Oh well. Whatever. In the scheme of things, this is rather insignificant and minor. It's just annoying. crlbrg, Bilbo, Pieter Boelen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
