Popular Post Amer 2,108 Posted December 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2018 I think going forward as such box sets may become a reality; we may see more box sets with better packaging in the future. The recent Williams DRACULA set is an indication where Williams agency actually requested that something 'special' be designed for that set and we got a decent package on it. I'm sure at that point they had seen the designs of the HP LLL set and it must have taken their breath away. So as and when a new box set like project transpires (Indy or Star Wars..) I hope to see such Regallites to prevail. Dr. Rick, TSMefford, Josh500 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Josh500 1,615 Posted December 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2018 Although I guess back then we were pretty excited and happy about that release as well. I know I sure was, and still am, actually. The previously unreleased music was a Godsend! As a comparison... 14 minutes ago, Amer said: I think going forward as such box sets may become a reality; we may see more box sets with better packaging in the future. Hopefully! But LLL generally has a nice record. I thought the A.I. and the Jurassic Park Collection were absolutely gorgeous too. Although without a cardboard box to put them in, of course.

As I see it, there's really only 4 more opportunities in Williams' filmography to top the Potter box: Star Wars Original Trilogy Star Wars Prequel Trilogy Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Indiana Jones Tetralogy/Pentalogy Sadly all these scores are owned by Disney (which means Disney Records). Unless MM is personally overseeing and producing every aspect of the releases, I doubt they'll come close to the attention to detail as his releases through independent labels.

Im fairly certain that Matessino is now their go to guy for all new Williams restoration and related projects. The scale of the projects should dictate the budget.

He also mentions that of course JW played him things on the piano, but that John saved Knight Bus for the sessions. "The hugest brass section I've ever seen in my life." Also the bird flute solo was the very first cue recorded Flautist Karen Jones performed it perfectly first try and John congratulated her.

Popular Post crumbs 14,315 Posted December 10, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2018 I can't believe Mike even interviewed Cuaron for this set, for an hour! Incredible stuff, was really hoping to hear more from him above all others, purely to get some more insight into his collaboration (which has sadly been mostly undocumented and mysterious up until this point). Sounds like he provided some really precise explanations for the musical approach. Once, DJMcNiff, Holko and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrbellamy 6,287 Posted December 11, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2018 One funny observation, I don't think I knew for sure that Williams himself wrote the "Cast a Christmas Spell" lyrics. Apparently someone (Columbus?) suggested a minor-key "Deck the Halls" and Williams said "Why should there be anything from the Muggle world at Hogwarts?" and just wrote the song during one of the sessions. Fuckin Robert Zimmerman over here! It's cute how he took the mythology seriously enough to spontaneously write his own carol on a "No Muggles allowed" basis.

Fuckin Robert Zimmerman over here! It’s mentioned in this wonderful article from 2001. 😊 This is also the first time I learned about Williams calling people ‘baby’; Quote Williams is totally professional and focused. He creates a pleasant working atmosphere but does not let anything get past him; he may address people as "angel" or "baby" or even "angel baby," but they jump when he asks for something.

Manakin Skywalker 4,892 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 I suppose they couldn't fit on the back covers due to the large amount of titles. They are all in main booklet however. Speaking of which, going through the booklet a minute ago I found towards the end there's 2 pages of lyrics for all of the vocal cues... an interesting touch.
