I know that GMrC goes for a lot of $$ on the second-hand market, are the others worth getting and are they a decent price? EDIT: Just checked discogs, dang the 2 disc set is not cheap either ugh Quote You know, I never noticed before that he's done more 70s, 90s, and 00s Williams scores than 80s Williams scores! I was just thinking the same thing earlier today looking over my JW master spreadsheet. Just 4 80s releases expanded by MM so far, granted SW & Indy accounts for a good chunk of the ones he hasn't worked on yet (AFAWK!). Here's the remaining 80s non-expanded, non SW or Indy scores, not exactly my most desired releases however I would still enjoy C&C releases for all of these at some point!

The Five Tones 302 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Ordered. Haven't seen the film since 2005, but definitely admired the score as part of JW's dark sci-fi run of the period. Didn't love the OST CD as much as I'd wanted to, so hoping as with MM's expanded MR release for a proper experience of the music in its full range of colours and dynamics.

Josh500 1,615 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 When I first listened to War of the Worlds back in 2005, I must admit, I was a bit disappointed. So much dissonance, no recognizable, hummable themes, overall very dark and gloomy and murky. 15 years later, I hear so much more. It's not just mindless dissonant dark music, see. It's John Williams at the top of his game, the orchestration is multi-layered and incredibly well thought out and addictive, it's propulsive, pernicious, viscerally horrifying and breathtaking music... A consummate artist giving all he has at the service of the picture! Can't wait to listen to this album from start to finish! bruce marshall and Bellosh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm aware, they don't send out emails or make forum posts when things come back in stock. What I have seen them do I believe is put up a banner on the top of their home page that showcases some things back in stock. IE right now there is a banner for WOTW, and you scroll right and the next banner is for Robin Hood, sometimes in that area there's a "back in stock" banner, IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 That's a shame. The risk of holding off on these initial batches is you might not get another chance for a year once it goes out of stock. But the shipping fee structure badly disincentives small purchases.

Jay 37,352 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Williams didn't conduct the Superman IV concert arrangements And it's a list of scores, not a list of releases; the most recent edition of each score is listed as a parenthetical. So Home Alone mentions the 2015 edition only (not the 2010), Superman lists the 2019 edition only (not the 2008), etc. This is actually because I simply and quickly copied and pasted each entry from the "Williams scores by Film Studio" thread!
