Jurassic Park 2-CD (La-La Land) - 5th Of July 2022

[Jay 31058]

For the 2016 box set, the AFM provided a combined list of musicians that played in either score that went into the booklet. (since they were only 4 years apart, many players were the same anyway) 

 

For this reissue, they provided a list that was supposed to be just the ones that played on JP. Maybe someone at the AFM made a mistake and left the TLW guitar player listed, I dunno. (there's guitar in TLW for Reading The Map) 

 

Whatever they provide goes into the release as-is.

A very convincing theory, Jay. I suggest we go with that.

I placed my order for this since it didn't find its way under my Christmas tree  

 

Hopefully this means there's a JW release from LLL next month!

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere before, but I can't find it:

 

Are "Theme From Jurassic Park" and "End Credits" on the original album unique performances, or just unique edits?

[Jay 31058]

"Theme From Jurassic Park" is a unique opening and ending recorded just for the album, with a film cue ("The Dinosaurs") in the middle. "The Dinosaurs" is also in the middle of "Journey To The Island" on both disc 1 and disc 2 - exactly same performance of the exact same music in all 3 spots.

 

"End Credits" is the second half of the end credits suite. Identical performance to the second half of "Welcome To Jurassic Park", the album track that contains the entire end credits suite.

 

So yes, Williams put "The Dinosaurs" on the OST album twice, and he put the second half of the end credits on the OST album twice.
