Andy 4,074 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I need this. Wish they'd hurry up with replenishing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,296 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I gave up waiting and placed my order, otherwise I'll miss out on River and WOTW. Gives me something to order in the future though Hopefully the next batch lasts longer than the first. Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 I ordered a batch from soundtrackcorner and they sent me War of the Worlds and The River and they have Monsignor pending. Luckily, you can pre-order items there. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,624 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The film mix sounds so much better than the OST tracks (like Dracula), so make sure you all grab this eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was your contribution to your restoration apart from the digitisation of the LP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,475 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Well someone offered me the WAVs made from a fresh clean LP... Then I used my magic to respectfully digitally remove the most obvious clicks (as they occurs, yes even on new LPs sometimes) and removing just a little of the background noise made by the "friction" of the playing. I didn't change anything in the E.Q... maybe I added a bit, again, just a bit of "stereo widening", because in my experience, the stereo narrowness of LPs is an irritant. I digitally restored many hard-to-find old JW vinyls, thanks to some contributors on this forum! I don't pretend to make miracles, but I think my restorations remains respectfull of the original works... And everytime I adjusted the recordings to the right speed...well according to my poor ears... Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,023 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It was the first time I heard the score without getting the feeling that the orchestra was playing behind a closed door. Bespin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,475 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 No one ever sent me WAVs of the original Monsignor LP. Maybe I would have done another little miracle... Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,023 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Nothing can change the fact that Monsignor is a second rate JW score... perhaps even third rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,475 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Of course, this score was a pretext to place the "Esplanade Overture"... And the Ave Maria served as a "christmas" piece (we have known quieter Ave Maria before!) for some Boston Pops concerts in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkensalat 336 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Finally got this,too. Great soundtrack in both versions! Question: I read the film score is not completely chronological, does anybody known the real chronological order, especially where to place „Love Theme“? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurkensalat 336 Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Meanwhile I assembled a playlist using the film score and adding after End Title 3 tracks: The Meeting in Sicily, At the Forum and Theme from Monsignor, thus forming a kind of extended end credit suite. Now I am only pondering where to put "Love Theme", but I must say since this track does not offer much new, I tend to discard it anyway from my playlist.

King Mark 3,624 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I removed all the OST tracks except Meeting in Sicily and At the Forum, and placed them at the end. Listening to the whole c.d. you have too many duplicate tracks and all the OST tracks have inferior sound quality anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listening to the whole c.d. you have too many duplicate tracks and all the OST tracks have inferior sound quality anyways. Well, this is mostly what I described in the post above except for one track. But of course it is also a solution to start with "Theme". In this case you have repetition with the first 2 tracks, in my order repetition with the last 2 tracks, pick your poison. I thought about elimninating "Theme" altogether, but it is just too good a composition for that. What I eliminated meanwhile is "Love Theme", since it offers nothing extra. To follow Gloria with Book Shop is much better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondheim 1,157 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 How is there a film version of the Theme suite if it isn't used in the film? Am I missing something? Is it just to fill out the film mix with a version that gels? Does the film start with the Main Title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,498 Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 This lovely little score combines smaller scale more European sensibilities with big standout highlights, of course allowing room for classic JWey Film Scorey material too. I love the OST, the exclusive pieces are my favourite tracks on the set, it all sounds real good too!

Bespin 8,475 Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The "Gloria" was conducted by the Maestro himself during some Boston Pops Christmas Concerts at the time. Not that is a very festive Chistmas song... Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
