I'd put Obi-Wan in new compositions rather than new album, seeing as he only composed that one piece. 

 

I already did so, you replied before my edit!

Yeah. And digital-only reissues don't count. 


There are no digital-only reissues anywhere in my list

There were plenty of releases, just nothing on the level of a Harry Potter box set or something like that. That’s all. I wasn’t trying to sound ungrateful for what we did receive. I just instinctively felt going into this year that there would be a high profile release like that and then there wasn’t.

 

Well you did get the Fanfare for Solo Trumpet To Celebrate the Reopening of David Geffen Hall.

I have lost track of when we're expecting the next Williams expansion.

Are we possibly expecting it in April, with the next LLL announcement?

I want the tea breaks for HP1. I would buy the complete sessions in an instant.

You mean, the complete sessions including the tea breaks in between?

We have to be getting a rerelease of The Lost World this year, right?  Right?

I would think so, considering the box set is OOP and they re-released the first one separately. I surely hope so, for separate but companion album art, as well as maybe a few extra goodies.

Other than percussion-only tracks (and maybe a recreation of the film version of Ripples) I'm not sure what else you could add to a standalone TLW release? The OST won't fit without going to 3CDs... I guess Mike could recreate and include any OST tracks that combined multiple cues, just to make it easier for people to recreate the OST assembly if they desire.

 

Percussion-only tracks would make a reissue an instant purchase for me though. I've wanted those ever since hearing the recordings on the speakers at Universal Studios... but somehow I doubt Williams would allow them.

 

I guess it's still a worthwhile exercise to make the music available for fans who missed the 4CD set.

A straight reissue I think is the most ideal way to do it.

 

Assuming Williams doesn't want percussion-only versions out there (which do you most value btw... Williams' approval, or more music?) anything else minor they could change/add would alter the nature of the product away from a reissue aimed at those who missed the box, to being the latest 'must have' for collectors.

 

I was initially a bit disappointed that Ripples wasn't what we heard in the film, but you let go of it over time. The thing is, though, that the two film versions on JP were an alternate take and 'fixing' the OST's incorrect mix. At no point were either veering away from Williams' composition, whereas Ripples very much does. That's the only difference, but is it the line that an album producer won't cross?

If they re-do The Lost World they should reconsider the volume of some tracks. Rescuing Sarah and Ripples always had the brass section mixed in too low which made them sound to quiet in general, especially if you compare them with The Hunt.

Or for fans who sold the set when the first score got reissued… :P
