Sony must have hired a new art direction team sometime between 2002 and 2005, because a lot of Sony CD releases all conformed to a unified house style round about 2004 that I noticed with Spider-Man 2, then the same spine font showed up in The Legend of Zorro in 2005. They probably got a font discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jay 37,249 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2019 Wow, great news that the digital OST is releasing Wednesday December 18th. That means we have less than 120 hours until the final John Williams Star Wars album is out in New Zealand and Australia, which let's face is is when most of us will begin listening to it! Wow!

Jay 37,249 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 No but it could happen at any time now. For TFA, we got the titles 22 days before release; For TLJ, 9 days before release. Today is 8 days before the TROS physical release, and 6 days before the digital release. On 12/4/2019 at 3:58 PM, Jay said: So to summarize: TFA in 2015: OST released Friday, December 18th. OST preorders began Friday September 4th (3 1/2 months early), track list revealed Thursday November 26th (22 days early), audio leaked Tuesday December 15th (3 days early). TLJ in 2017: OST released Friday, December 15th. OST preorders began Friday September 1st (3 1/2 months early), track list revealed Wednesday December 6th (9 days early), audio leaked Monday December 11th (4 days early) TROS in 2019: OST slotted to be released Friday, December 20th. OST preorders began Friday November 22nd (1 month early), track list yet to be revealed. As of now we are 16 days from release date. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I suspect this album was put together far later than the other two, hence the limited info. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 I'm not sure what you mean. Disney didn't officially tell us the TLJ track titles before release at all. We only learned them because someone who worked at Target was nice enough to open a copy early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taikomochi 1,136 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well, the limited information on shipping on Amazon, whereas last time I’m pretty sure it had a shipping date listed by now, plus the lack of cover art until yesterday plus the lack of any type of leaks of track titles makes me think maybe the album was assembled later in the process than the preceding two films. I don’t know - did Williams do sessions as late on the last two films as he did this time? I didn’t say I knew for sure, just a suspicion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 The recording sessions went later into the year for TROS than they did for TLJ and TFA, for sure. I'm not sure I understand the Amazon part of your post. They deliver new CDs on release date. It'll be in your mailbox on Friday the 20th. As for titles, again Disney never announced the TLJ titles either. As for leaks, people can't open up a copy at Target if Target hasn't received them yet to be opened.
