Tydirium 1,167 Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Forgive me if I missed this, but did we already know that Valley of the Dolls is available on streaming services/digital music stores, and in hi-res? https://www.qobuz.com/us-en/album/valley-of-the-dolls-johnny-williams/0060255746470 Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did say all those older scores were transferred regardless. Maybe this high-resolution transfer came from an album master in better condition than the raw scoring masters? I recall one of the recent expansions had an OST remaster appear randomly on streaming services, months before any expansion was announced. Mike later mentioned that anyone paying attention would've suspected an expansion was imminent, as a result of that remastered OST... possibly Towering Inferno or Superman? rough cut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be thinking of MM's ET album remaster releasing with the ET blu ray ahead of the LLL expansion? I don't think any of MM's JW OST rebuilds or remasters are on streaming services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amer 2,119 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Spotfiy has THE COWBOYS: DE but not the OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The Cowboys has no OST. The LP in stores in the 70s was a bootleg assembled by an unknown bootlegger, and Varese's 1994 album was a Robert Townson creation that had no involvement from Williams. Matessino's 2018 album is the only Cowboys program Williams ever had any involvement with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you refer to Mike's statement about Earthquake. He said on the podcast (here at 1h10) that the film score recording of Earthquake, which had never been released before the LLL set, was used in the special features for the Shout Factory Blu-Ray that came out earlier in 2019. Nobody seems to have noticed it but that would have been a great clue an expanded release was coming out. 3 hours ago, Jay said: I don't think any of MM's JW OST rebuilds or remasters are on streaming services The Dracula OST digital release is definitely the new MM master. We also know that The Fury digital release comes from the same master pressed on the LLL release, but this one wasn't done by Mike iirc. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the new law here. That's not true at all. He's the only guy who can produce new expansions, but any music label can remaster their own catalog whenever they want without getting composer approval. For example in 2015, Sony Music reissued their own remaster of the Home Alone OST that was completely different than MM's OST rebuild released by LLL the same year.

Amer 2,119 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Yes, ofcourse the labels can. What I meant is that the general understanding now is that every new John Williams expanded project will only be supervised by Matessino himself. Which is exactly whats been hapenning ever since Quartet Records did their TOM SAWYER set which was the last time some one else did the mastering/expansion etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,319 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 How exactly was it "remastered"? The OST sounds pretty good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,378 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I think it just means they took the album master and changed some EQ settings around I haven't listened to Sony's Geisha or Tibet remasters, but their Home Alone remaster was terrible, they boosted the audio throughout to the point of clipping, losing all dynamic range bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
