Jay 27,581 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Quote THE COWBOYS – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition) by John Williams This 50th anniversary release celebrates John Wayne and one of his finest twilight westerns with a score composed by the living legend, John Williams. The Cowboys was the maestro’s biggest pre-Star Wars score, and a much-needed restoration job—featuring a complete rebuild, remix, remastering and expansion to 36 tracks (including unearthed alternate takes)—was done for a 3,000-unit, limited-edition CD re-issue that came out in 2018 and has since sold out. The first-ever official LP release, this double-record gatefold includes extensive notes and original photos and is pressed on gold vinyl exclusively for RSD 2022. https://www.facebook.com/varesesarabanderecords/posts/1897002560492020 Toillion, rough cut and Yavar Moradi 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce marshall 1,252 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I was hoping the vinyl revival would lead to a return of the l.p. program. But, except for BLACK PANTHER ( which didn't get a CD release) these seem to just follow the c + c protocols. Which also doubles the price😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJH132 43 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I have the Varese CD, but not the Deluxe version that came out later, so this will be a good purchase for me. Although I think "The Cowboys Overture" is one of Williams' best pieces of film-to-concert music, the score itself isn't among my favorites.

Hmm, I hadn't seen that track listing before: 1. Morning On The Ranch - 2:20 2. Trouble - 2:11 3. Moving Out - 2:27 4. The Campsite - 1:08 5. High Spirits - 1:59 6. A Man To Respect - 1:31 7. Nightfall - 1:42 8. Training Spills - 1:56 9. The Death Riders - 4:00 10. Final Conflict - 1:19 11. On The Trail Again - 1:28 12. Wayward Ladies - 1:37 13. Learning The Ropes - 1:40 14. The Takeover - 1:20 15. A Coward's Deed - 1:52 16. Death Of A Cowboy - 2:29 17. The Trap - 8:30 18. End Of The Drive - 1:27 Almost none of these titles are found on the Varèse expansion (or the older Varèse CD, for that matter), and a lot of the timings are different, indicating either edits or tracks that combine cues. Could this be an OST program proposed at the time but never released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 27,581 Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 That's the tracklist of the bootleg vinyl LP that was in record stores in the 70s/80s. The writers of the article you quoted somehow used the old bootleg tracklist instead of the actual tracklist the release will have (which is the same tracklist as the 2018 CD) ~ JW never prepared an OST album for The Cowboys. MM's assembly is the first and only composer-approved album that exists Robert Townson made the 1994 Varese CD without JW's input (and put Harry Sukman's main title cue for the TV show on it without realizing that's what it was) Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 27,581 Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 According to Varese Sarabande's official Facebook, the Cowboys vinyl has had production delays and "will release later in the year almost definitely" https://www.facebook.com/varesesarabanderecords/photos/a.190580947800865/1968234690035473/?comment_id=340078981601391&reply_comment_id=1202226747196869&__tn__=R*F Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
