fommes 153 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Maybe they will rerelease the two first Jurassic Park scores with a new remaster/remix of all tracks? They used the album masters last time, resulting in a few volume differences (which were most noticeable in the expanded "Rescuing Sarah"). Curious to see what will be new for this release. (And I also feel this should be forever in-print, so well done that they're reissuing this score.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that they used the wrong master for disc 1&3 which has alternate versions and a few cues which aren't on the actual Program. They had to repress and delete that stock when they realised the error. But by that time many copies had shipped out. You will have to dig up the AI threads to get the full details. Ah okay. But you gotta be a sound engineer to notice that kind of an error... Anyway, I'm not that OCD. I'm perfectly happy with the original AI set from LLL.

Popular Post crumbs 14,304 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 1 hour ago, mahler3 said: Sometimes I think there’s a collective misunderstanding that soundtrack labels are a business. The reissues are positive in multiple ways, namely a revenue stream which helps fund the likes of Scarface, Fiddler on the Roof or Willow which wouldn’t have seen the light of day without significant investment. Also worth mentioning that MV lamented how thin the profit margins were on the JP/TLW box set (I believe "enough to make me cry" were his words). It was so costly they barely broke even, once all was said and done. By splitting the scores into individual releases (presumably TLW 2CD is imminent), they can finally make a return on their initial investment, six years and a business-destroying pandemic later. And at the end of the day, that's exactly what we want for the labels! How else do people expect them to fund new expansions if they're not making profits? Especially JW/SS projects, which aren't cheap. That luxurious 3CD Hook expansion everyone keeps fantasizing about isn't paying for itself. enderdrag64, Raiders of the SoundtrArk, Tom Guernsey and 10 others 9 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rough cut 1,714 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I don’t mind remasters with upgraded sound… I don’t mind keeping a score like Jurassic Park in print… I also don’t mind reissues where the producers add something extra to “spice up” an old product… But the JP box came out quite recently, and according to the press release at the time it was “meticulously produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, in consultation with the composer, director and producers” with the promise that the end product was “a worthy, definitive presentation“. All details still withstanding, it might just be a straight up reissue… But if it’s not, I’m fooling myself to think that any company won’t take a chance to turn a profit if they have one. “Definitive” is only definitive until it no longer is, right? Even LLL seems to be aware that they’re breaking some kind of unwritten customer promise by writing in the official teaser, “commence with the complaints in 3,2,....“ which comes across as a cheap excuse, like a kid who’s gone into the cookie jar and is anxiously urging his parents to give him his punishment already. At least own up to it, own what you are and what you do: you’re a business, you sell stuff - no excuse needed. If this is a product worth while - for old and new customers alike - there’d be no need for complaints from anyone, no? Depending on the details of this new edition, I might buy it, and I might not.

Popular Post HunterTech 987 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Given the miraculous journey Superman had to go from only having the album master and other elements of varying quality to use for the 2000 Rhino release, to finally finding the original scoring masters for the 40th anniversary LLL release, I'd say we're incredibly fortunate if MM and co. now have more sources they can potentially work off of than when they assembled the previous set not too long ago. I never understand this attitude some have about updated re-releases, where the implication seems to be that the labels are deliberately fucking with the consumer by releasing an inferior product first. These projects go through so much legal tape and limited budgets/resources that sometimes you work with what you currently have to get a highly requested item out there. And since so much time and effort are put on these releases, there's no way they aren't gonna advertise the hell out of it and use buzzwords for the sake of a sale. They already had to calm things down a bit when they decided to keep using 'expanded' instead of any other term whenever people complained a release wasn't complete/fully comprehensive, so you might as well give them the leeway there (especially since there's still the possibility of a casual listener buying these sorts of sets). As someone who is slowly expanding their JW horizons recently and thus wasn't able to buy quite a few expansions when they were available, I am absolutely thrilled that another opportunity has shown up for me to purchase such an iconic piece of work. Especially when it's supporting a label that does these releases out of pure passion, which is something we ought to remember at the end of the day. (Lastly, given the high prices the JW JP collection set currently fetches, don't the more concerned reckon they could actually earn some money by selling their copies if they can't stand being with something supposedly obsolete?)

Popular Post bigjimwilson 253 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Some of you guys crack me up. You've got to remember that speciality soundtrack labels are small businesses. They've got the same bills to pay as the rest of us. They're fans, like the rest of us. Infact, they're better fans than the rest of us because they're putting everything they've got into getting this stuff out for the rest of us. We were all new fans/collectors at some point. There are people out there desperate to own JP, and now they can. And there are people here desperate to complain about being forced at knife point to buy it again. Calm down. There's no knife. Sounds to me like there are far too many collectors who hate they idea of other people having something too. It's awful. Would some of you prefer labels not to release better sounding sources if they come across them? What possible logic is there in that? Do you apply that logic to other areas of life? Well.... this medicine is actually a little bit better at helping your horrible illness... but then again, we already put out that one a few years ago that sorrrrt of does the job. Yeah yeah yeah, there's a gulf between soundtrack releases and medical science, but you know what I mean. But seriously, stop acting like these label owners are sat around on golden thrones, using the Hook or Sugarland Express master tapes as toilet paper and laughing at us. (I'm sure they're laughing... but it's out of despair) They release what they can, when they can. And when they do, it's the very best thing they can release at that time.

rough cut 1,714 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 @bigjimwilson Yeah, because that’s what any one here has said. “Never release JP or any other score ever again…” “I want my set to remain scarce…” Did you read and understand what I wrote? Not in any of the posts in this thread - no matter the opinion - do I interpret what you do. Most of us are collecting JW’s stuff for the love of his music, not for second hand value. And I doubt any hardcore fan would want to limit the works of JW to new fans. Where do you get this stuff from? This is JWfan. I read a lot of love in every post here - positive or negative. People might have different opinions, but they write with love. Sad if you can not see it. The rant about medicine? How is that any different from what I wrote that “a business will sell stuff”. It seems we agree with each other? You seem more interested in polemic writing rather than actually responding to anything I actually wrote.

Popular Post crumbs 14,304 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Sad state of affairs when LLL (sarcastically) predicted complaints in their announcement post, and JWFan dutifully follows suit. If you're so angry about the reissue, don't buy it. Or buy it and sell your old version. How anyone could be angry about a new generation of fans finally having access to one of the Maestro's most iconic scores is beyond me. For anyone who owns the existing release, there is absolutely nothing wrong it. No music was omitted. It was assembled from a first generation, high-resolution transfer. There's no editing flubs. Everything on the OST can be recreated. The mastering might be a little hot but that's personal preference anyway. This is hardly an Azkaban/Eiger/AI situation where more music exists that was omitted from the first album then added to a (hypothetical) subsequent expansion, nor a Superman/Home Alone/Hook situation where inferior sources had to be used on a previous release because first-gen sources were missing. For all we know this is the reissue LLL needed to keep the lights on and fund projects for later in the year, including more Williams scores! How could any JWFan be upset about that?! If the only thing labels see are complaints, why would they even bother trying to improve existing releases like Hook, Jaws, Fiddler, Images, Jane Eyre or Azkaban in the future? The shortsightedness here is frankly breathtaking. Andy, Tom, Alan and 18 others 15 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,304 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I'm inclined to think it's the complete score on disc 1 + remastered OST and source music on disc 2. Film Score: 77 minutes. OST: 71 minutes. Source: 2 minutes The OST has exclusive tracks that wouldn't be in the film assembly (End Credits, Welcome to Jurassic Park non-film version, and various combo tracks). The existing streaming version of the OST uses incorrect takes in places, which Mike discusses in the podcast @Chewy posted. So it makes sense for him to recreate that assembly using the correct takes. The bonus tracks from the 20th anniversary edition won't fit unless Stalling Around is moved to the end of disc 1 (it would barely fit, just a few seconds under 80 minutes).

Popular Post Marian Schedenig 8,176 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 So far we've had complaints that: A new version is released at all "shortly" after the previous one, which is out of stock, when people have already been complaining that they missed out on the old one and that this score should always be in print. The new version is (possibly) an improvement over the previous one. Whenever there's only one small detail that's not perfect about a release, there's usually a big shitstorm. Yet there's inevitably another shitstorm whenever they actually have a chance to correct mistakes or otherwise improve a release as well. That the previous version has been marketed as having "great sound" when the new version might have better sound - see previous point. Should they refrain from further improving a new release when they could just so that people who have the old one don't complain that what they have is no longer the best version? Shouldn't they have not released the box set in the first place, because there was already an OST album when the film came out? That the new version has two CDs when the previous one also had two, and you couldn't fit the entire score with album alternates (only a few of which were on the previous set) on one disc anyway. That the labels are only doing this to make money. But the labels are businesses, and if they don't make money, they won't be able to release anything. We should be lucky that what drives them when deciding what to release and how to release it is not a mere business decision (see all the other threads with complaints about Disney and and SW scores) but actually done because they care about the music and want to preserve and make available as much of it as well as they can - and can afford to. …and I think I've still forgotten about a few I wanted to mention. I for one am happy that the score will be available again, and that LLL may turn more profit from it to fund other stuff down the line. Whether I'll buy it myself will depend on how it differs from the versions I already have. 8 hours ago, Josh500 said: It has sold many copies due to the success of the movie, yes.

Someone posted an audio recording from Universal Studios of those and I've wanted them ever since (they used to play the discrete percussion recordings on the speakers through the park). Plus obviously the film version of Ripples, even if it was created editorially. It's almost impossible to recreate it using the LLL due to that synth overlay in the middle (which clearly the music editor was able to remove, as he had the raw orchestral recordings). I'm guessing Mike would have access to the recording without synth? There's a verrrrry slight editing bug in The Raptors Appear, where two different performance edits were combined. Forget the time stamp but it's barely noticeable (though noticeable enough to bug me, after 100 listens ). And I'm still curious about that whistling sound that plays in the film version of Corporate Helicopters (maybe added by the SFX team, or an unreleased sweetener?)

Popular Post The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 I purposely haven’t been engaging with the forum for a little while, but I really do feel that this sentiment bears repeating, even though others have already put it much better than I can. As someone who only really started digging into film scores not but a few years ago, at a time when a lot of the sets I would now be interested in purchasing had already sold out, I find myself extremely grateful for the hard-working folks at La La Land Records (and all the specialty labels in general) who continue to make reissues like this possible. This will no doubt be a superb release of an all-timer score that should ideally and unequivocally be available for anyone to purchase at anytime. The same was the case with A.I., which became a favourite of mine thanks to the availability of a new edition. All told, I’m extremely glad it’s become possible to purchase this score presentation again, and I look forward to picking it up very soon. Cheers to all and stay well!

Arpy 4,145 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I don't understand why people don't wait until we have more information on the set before going off the rails and nixing it altogether. If this set has something extra on the 2016 release, I'll consider picking it up, but for the time being I'm just glad that it's back in print and people who missed out will be able to pick it up!

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Counting down until the first screencaps of the new tracks rendered in an audio spectrometer program land in this thread, followed by complaints about differences in frequencies that are literally inaudible and only perceptible due to said software. It’s JWFan OCD at its most entertaining Matt S. and Richard Penna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,793 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 It will also be funny if someone was called “ungrateful bastard” when complaining about what he considered flaws in the old set, and now have been corrected… A. A. Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,675 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I see it this way: they do two Horner archival releases, and alongside them reissure a score where most of the hard work and remastering has already been done and there is clearly more demand, i.e. a dependendable revenue stream. And if as a result they spark revised interest in the franchise which paves the way for others in the series, even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. And having a Jurassic Park reissue in stock makes good business sense if, hypothetically, they expand Jurassic Park 3 later in the year (because new fans are likely to purchase an expanded JP1 at the same time, if available).

Edmilson 7,395 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Well, if the reissue of JP1 leads to JP3 expansion being finally released, I'm okay with it! Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,304 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Would be cool to see the art style continue with each film. TLW could have the same cover in yellow with the jagged/rocky style from that film's logo. JP3 could be red with a metallic texture and the Spinosaurus instead of T-Rex, Jurassic World could be blue, etc. Might be a pipe dream but could a Giacchino Jurassic World box be on the cards? Two of those scores were London recordings so only the first has AFM issues (and we know from Star Trek that this isn't necessarily a barrier for expansions).
