LLL should reissue The Lost World and, more importantly, bring back the old diorama!

Ideally-

August: The Lost World

September: Jurassic Park 3

October: Amistad

November: Hook and The Patriot 

Now everyone’s happy.

That calypso cover of the JP theme was released on a real pressed CD?  

Was the arranger credited?

Louis Forestieri according to discogs : https://www.discogs.com/release/10765127-Various-Universal-Studios-Islands-Of-Adventure-Official-Soundtrack-Album

Does anyone actually want JP3?

I think everyone on this forum does. It’s a great score.

[Luke Skywalker 1440]

Not everyone but many for sure

[Evanus 188]

I definitely want JP3! Hopefully it's in the pipeline, along with a reissue of TLW . Would be nice to get the first three scores with matching artwork

What a ripoff! In my eyes, I bet you won't be able to hear a difference with the naked ear! La la records will be laughing all the way to the bank with this NEW release.

Mine arrived today! Kinda surprised since it was the post office. I’ll start listening to it later tonight since I don’t own a CD player anymore and I’ll have to listen to it in my car. Packaging is very pretty 😍

 

Edit: rotated the pictures so it’s easier for you to look at, don’t know why I didn’t do that to begin with🤣

Nice art. Love the back cover

Oh man the skeleton on the spine is so great!

 

I never fail to get a new joy out of seeing my name on one of these.  And hey, my name's on this one twice!

And very well deserved! Super cool that you’re credited on the releases AND you’re very active on this forum so we aren’t entirely in the dark about our favorite scores being released.

[Luke Skywalker 1440]

Great! a typho. Why is jason credited in the thanks section if he is credited on the main crew section.

 

i want a replacement booklet! 😝

The forums are full of amazing information in between all the silly banter   JP aficionados @GoodMusician and @scallenger get well-deserved special thanks for posting so much detailed information here about the uniqueness of some film versions that saved us a lot of time since we were beginning with so much information already in front of us.

Don't blame me - my name wasn't in the special thanks in the version I proofread!

[Brando 873]

Yes yes, thank you to all who were involved!

[Luke Skywalker 1440]

Dammit really, i was making up my mind on getting this and asked music box records i wanted to add this score to my willow order in a few days, and they seemed to comply. But they must have received willow today and it has shipped.

 

 

[Jay 31058]

Another fun fact:  In the 2016 box set, the AFM listing for both scores is combined together into one big list (obviously many musicians played on both scores so it isn't as crazy as some other pairings could be)

 

Here, the AFM list is ONLY the ones that played on JP.

[Brando 873]

Did Williams conduct some of JP? I know Artie did some of it because of John’s back surgery, but I thought JW didn’t conduct at all?

They’re both credited for conducting, and the liner notes specifically mention that JW did direct some sessions before needing to bow out of conducting duties on doctor’s orders, though he was still in attendance.

Williams conducted the entire thing except for 2 sessions, which Artie Kane filled in for.

[JohnnyD 1111]

Listening now. I chocked up a bit hearing Journey to the Island (Film Version). Also, this sounds better than the score as it was included in the 2016 box set. Definitive release for Jurassic Park.
 

Again, if The Lost World gets reissued, I’ll be pleasantly surprised, as I really don’t know how that can possibly be improved upon. Glad I have this and The Lost World.

[Demondm810 366]

@Jaywas right, those Journey to the Island transitions are really good in the film version

Ah, I didn’t know he did most of it, that’s neat!

[DangerMotif 562]

Mine came today but when I put it into itunes it doesn’t transfer any of the track or album info. Has this happened with anyone else and is there a way to fix it?

[Jay 31058]

Type.

Pretty sure that's always the case with albums from specialty labels. You'll have to fill out all that info yourself.

False.

 

Use mp3tag and import release code [r23788994].

LOL. 

[Brando 873]

I always use mp3 tag, super great and straightforward to use. Then I use a different program to sync to my phone since iTunes is a pain in the butt.

 

Also, that break before “Entrance to the Park” is very satisfying.

Why do ya’ll want JP3? The Randy Newman song is all you need.

A 1hr project that was 100% worth it

Mine came today too and disc 1 is ripping while I type. I use DBpoweramp and the tracks all populated correctly. I suspect it pulled the info from Discogs (which @Positivatee linked above).

Do we know which JP cues did Artie Kane conduct? Sorry if that question has been answered here before.

It's gonna blow your mind when the LLL JP3 spine has a Spinosaurus.

Nope, it's not public knowledge.

I gotta say I don't have the previous releases, just finished disc one and this thing sounds freakin amazing. Kudos and thanks to LLL MM and @Jay

[Jay 31058]

Glad you like it!

[crumbs 12625]

Can anyone describe the mastering differences? Is it less "bright" than the previous LLL, more bassy, etc?

[Amer 1774]

The previous version (the box set) is very "bassy" already and it's bright enough. 

[Bryant Burnette 542]

Alright, I think I'm going to have to buy this.

The only one who wasnt attending the sessions was Steven Spielberg. He was in Europe (Poland?) making SCHINDLER'S LIST. But he was listening to the sessions via telephone. In Todays timeline,  it would have been a total virtual session for him.

Arent we supposed to get 2 more expansions for the remainder of the year? Plus more reissues that Mike mentioned in the podcast.

 

and Its ET.'s 40th Anniversary this year! Just a thought.

What is the point of continuing to make the exact same statement if you aren't going to actually address the counterarguments others have made? I'll give the others credit for at least trying to justify their stances.

Otherwise, to think at least 4,000 regular consumers don't exist for a movie that can still sell tickets in special return screenings (and effectively fund mediocre sequels) is just baffling. The world will never be that small.
