Omni is hard at work on some new books: A Streetcar Named Desire, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and Dracula (’92). Omni will re-release Total Recall v2.0 over the summer.

Check out Tangled and How To Train Your Dragon on the Schott Music website.

Some good news for our European friends.

 

Alex North fans getting a little love.

 

I wonder what the reasons are for v2.0 of Total Recall...

 

And all together now: KHAN!

Streetcar Named Desire is now available.

According to this article: https://www.noahbalamucki.com/s/ScoreBooksArticle_PublishedVersion.pdf Omni is also planning on putting out The Burbs.  The author of the article also states that he is working on entering The Mask of Zorro for Omni. 

 

The article adds that upcoming releases for Neumation are For Your Eyes Only and Tiny Toon Adventures; also that the Safan score for Wolfen is being pursued.

[Jay 37,249]

Wow!

A big John Williams fan, he transcribed the entirety of the composer’s Oscar-winning score for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial

 

[DeltaPupJux 47]

Awesome.  It'll be nice to finally see the full slates for Dracula.

[BrotherSound 2,241]

Omni just shared the (fantastic) cover for Horner’s Wrath of Khan on their Facebook page:

 

[bruckhorn 105]

Dude, give a guy a warning before giving him that much wood!

 

Something else to look forward to around Black Friday…

 

So Omni uploads covers to its Facebook page, but hasn’t posted text/update/status (whatever in the heck it is) since March.  Uh, that makes sense, how?

How do you know?

And why there is a second version of Total Recall? Were there errors in the first one?

As for the second question: I have not seen any announcement from Omni concerning the need for a version 2.0 of Total Recall.  The first version of Batman had one page that didn't match the rest.  The difference was concert pitch vs. transposed (I don't recall which way the problem was), but that could be a reason to do a revision while also making tweaks based on reader feedback.  Trying to decipher the handwriting on the original scores can be difficult at times and the parts (if available to review) might have differences from the conductor's score.  There's a cue in Star Trek II that starts in 4/4 and has a metric change to 4/4 in the second bar.  That might be what's in the original hand-written score, but the metric change isn't a change, so it could be removed in a future revision if other discrepancies needed to be addressed.

Straight from Tim

[filmmusic 1,822]

I wonder if I should take the plunge and order some, or if it would be cheaper to wait and order them at full price from Schott in Europe (when they become available)

 

edit: Well, couldn't resist and ordered Star Trek II, Dracula, Poltergeist and Glory. Unfortunately Basic Instinct is out of stock.

[Datameister 2,034]

Ordered TWOK!

I think my partner will be stocking up for my birthdays for the next few years…

[DangerMotif 1,037]

I got STTMP but annoying that some other great scores like Batman Returns and Basic Instinct sold out quickly.

good for them

[Marian Schedenig 8,153]

Damn… that beats waiting for unconfirmed Schott releases, but out of the three scores I want (Poltergeist, Basic Instinct, and Sneakers), only Poltergeist is currently in stock.

[DangerMotif 1,037]

Anyone else get hit with a pretty big shipping bill in the US for this? Was 16$

Cute. I ended up not ordering Poltergeist because shipping for a $42.50 score would be $67.62 (going with the cheapest option). Plus taxes and handling fees on top of that, and if it goes like last time, DHL charging about double the correct amount for taxes and refunding only about half of the excess fees after a lengthy email exchange. Help us, Schott Musikverlag, you're our only hope.

[filmmusic 1,822]

For anyone waiting on Omni publications at Schott Music, their newest addition is North by Northwest. Still, not a score that is a priority for me.

I kind of regretted having bought 4 scores from USA. I'm expecting to have a heart attack when I see what I have to pay for customs for 4 scores!

 

By the way, I really think someone should interview Tim, or Chris Siddall, and find out how these scores are made, what are the decisions behind them, are there any good relationships with certain composers, what rights issues are there etc.

Well, I see it's more expensive. Unless it balances Schott's price with less shipping expenses.

That price is with your country-specific import tax.

Oh, you're right. I changed the country to Germany, and the price changed. For the worse though..

UPDATE: Omni is switching to a new print company. It will take some time until the entire catalog is ready—probably a couple of months—but everything will return. The first release will be a 2nd edition of Total Recall, followed shortly by The Fugitive. Schott is planning to add Dracula and Star Trek II to their website next.

 

[filmmusic 1,822]

I wanted to ask, did anyone receive their package from the sales?

What price did it have written on the box?

Mine had the original price of the books, and not the price I paid (half), so I paid a lot at customs! (100 euros for 4 books)

[Jurassic Shark 12,008]

You should make a complaint to the seller.

I sent an email to Omni. Maybe they were compelled to write the original price by some law? I don't know...

I asked to find out..

 

On the total I paid 350 euros for 4 books!!

Next time, I'll know better. I'll wait for Schott to bring what I am interested in.

They aren't. They're supposed to declare the amount you paid.

However, the other good news is that there are a lot of great books planned, starting with The Fugitive in July and a reprint of Dragon 1.

 

[Marian Schedenig 8,153]

That update also mentioned how current stocks are going and most editions are currently (I believe) unavailable because of logistics changes. I just hope I'm not miscalculating by waiting for Schott to get more of the Omni catalogue.

Yeah, I didn't understand much what happened, but I hope too Schott can bring the rest.

I'm especially interested in Basic Instinct and Streetcar named desire.

I'm not feeling this cover, but anyway, it's not the cover that counts.

[DangerMotif 1,037]

[filmmusic 1,822]

Yeah, I had heard it somewhere before, I think here.

I'm not very familiar with the score, but I love the main theme..

Should be interesting.

[DangerMotif 1,037]

Also no idea what this could mean

[filmmusic 1,822]

I have not listened to the Bond scores, but Stargate would be awesome!

I would think "lost cause" means something regarding publishing rights, but then again @chrissiddall published Independence Day. 

[filmmusic 1,822]

Omni says in his facebook that:

JNH and I have a plan already for the next book.

I really hope it's Waterworld!! One of the best action scores ever written!

[DangerMotif 1,037]

I don’t see JNH scores selling as well as some of the other composers he’s done.

[ChrisAfonso 186]

I'd totally buy King Kong, but The Village or Signs would also be nice

(guessing it's something completely different ;))

[DangerMotif 1,037]

Does anyone have any idea what score this is in the photo?

they posted it on facebook 

[Loert 2,509]

Whatever it is, it's very quiet!

[DangerMotif 1,037]

I’m gonna guess Casper or ST3

Dan Redfeld on an Asmac zoom said that he just finished proofreading Mask Of Zorro which is coming out very soon and that  Horner’s sketches where extremely detailed.
