GerateWohl 4,340 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Make a wish. No matter what the movie is. In addition tothe brillantly remastered score CDs would you like to have a digi-pack instead of jewel case? a bonus CD with piano demos from the master himself? a bonus DVD full of footage from the recording sessions? liner notes by @Thor? a bluray of the movie just with isolated score and no other sound to the picture? What else? Or none of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I have no special wishes, or at least nothing major, beyond John Williams putting on little blue mail carrier shorts and bringing it to my door personally. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jay 37,290 Posted February 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2021 A bonus blu ray containing the cut of the film he wrote the score to, with three audio tracks - Williams score only, dialogue/sound effects only, both mixed together Oh, and as bonus features on the blu ray, any additional footage (i.e. new edits of scenes) that he wrote inserts and revisions for, with the same 3 audio tracks OneBuckFilms, GerateWohl, Raiders of the SoundtrArk and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 A bonus DVD of MM putting the set together? But in all seriousness, I would love digital booklets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Yeah, I download scans and OCR them, which results in really mixed text files sometimes. For example, HP1 begins with: aposer ohnit 4AAarit4;" . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerateWohl 4,340 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 That's then really an issue. Therefore, you would definitely get my vote for digital Booklets. Or why not provide a special link to a website or so? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,590 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 An in depth interview with Williams about his personal and professional relationship (as a pianist) with the other great Hollywood composers of the mid-50s-early-60s. Including especially Jerry Goldsmith of course. My most wanted expansion at this point is probably The Eiger Sanction or The Reivers. But what I’d really really like is Story of a Woman and The Rare Breed/The Plainsman, which he apparently already kiboshed... Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who wouldn't want that? a bonus DVD full of footage from the recording sessions? At least give us a scoring session documentary, on Blu-ray. liner notes by @Thor? I don't think he would agree to do the liner notes of an expanded score. At least it would have to be very well paid. a bluray of the movie just with isolated score and no other sound to the picture? Nice to have as a bonus, but I have to admit I almost never watch films with the isolated score track, nor with commentaries for that matter. What else? Or none of that? I wish JW would do his own take on Lady Jane by Stephen Oliver. 19 minutes ago, Yavar Moradi said: My most wanted expansion at this point is probably The Eiger Sanction or The Reivers.

bigjimwilson 253 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 A Williams commentary track for a film would be pretty interesting. If he spoke about it a bit like a spotting session. But that would mean him watching a film again Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,673 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 My ultimate wish is the same for virtually any score that I love: an isolated score on the BD. This fulfils two desires: hear the score as it's intended to work, and to provide access to unreleased music. (given that I'm usually after 'film versions' of cues) Sadly they don't happen very often these days. A supplementary wish, which MI:Fallout does - isolated score track, and isolated score with composer commentary. bigjimwilson and GerateWohl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
