Pieter Boelen 740 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Would expect some sort of official announcement first. And so soon after TROS was in theaters? But it does say "DISNEY Records" and "2 CDs". So it could be... Another re-release of the existing 2 CD sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trent B 337 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Don't be surprised if it's a straight re-issue from the recent re-re-release that Sony did....well their last one before they lost the license to them.

Popular Post Holko 9,526 Posted March 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2020 They literally rebuilt the OSTs from scratch from new scans instead of straightup reissuing the Sony remasters that came out only 2 years before. I think we're very likely to be safe from at least it being a complete SE reissue. We now just have to hope they got MM to work on the real deal instead of Random Intern #74 and #92 fucking everything up just a little here and there. Chewy, A. A.

While there is have no doubt that this is an eventuality, let's wait until there is OFFICIAL confirmation on if this Amazon page refers to a new and definitive release. Don't forget that Mike Mattesino neither confirmed nor denied that the Maestro's scores to the Star Wars Saga will be getting the definitive treatment when he was asked by Maurizio Caschetto at the end of the interview about the releases to The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Monsignor, and Minority Report on The Legacy of John Williams website. So here's hoping! I'm optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't they even care about paying someone to do proper work? I'm sure as far as any exec at Disney Records is concerned, Shawn Murphy did do a "proper" job remastering those. There are so few people working in the industry that truly know what the consumers of expanded film score presentations actually want. Shawn Murphy and Disney Records execs are not in that group. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I also think it's going to be different than the SE's and Sony, but probably the "de-masters" that Shawn Murphy did with random intern # 82 doing the assembly That said, I have no issues with the sound of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back on the 1997 SE's bollemanneke and Amer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parts of the demaster like the Dies Irae after the hologram (I think) sound a lot better on the demaster... on the other hand TIE Fighter attack sounds a lot less lively than on the SE, flat and punchless.

Jay 37,363 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 None of the specialty labels would release a JW expansion without seeking his approval (Quartet's Tom Sawyer release in 2015 was the last time that happened), and I would ASSUME a major label like Disney Records knows this as well but... maybe they don't? I don't know. If this is a new Shawn Murphy rebuild of the 1997 program with no (intentional) changes than that probably wouldn't require JW approval either, like the OST remasters didn't.
