The ET and CE3K reissue booklets are actually completely redesigned by Jim Titus.  The liner notes are the same (maybe some minor tweaks), and many of the included pictures and images are the same, but it's a whole new design all around, booklet and discs.  It's amazing that in 5 years, Jim Titus could approach the same score with the same material and just make a better booklet.  He's so great.

I didn't know or completely forgot this. Anyone have pictures? But yeah the important part that I meant is the text, that's what you'd assist with, not the design.

You know what? As someone who used to have a LEGO addiction, this soundtrack CD hobby is very "reasonably" priced.

 

the best part about it (i really only collect JW, most of Horner and one offs)

 

is that you can rip the music and therefore limit how much the CD gets used and that you can always replace the cases.

 

so it really feels like nothing ever "depreciates"

I sold my John Williams Jurassic Park Collection to my local Half Price Books last year. It's still sitting on their shelf for $150. I really hope my decision was vindicated, come Tuesday, because they gave me pennies for it, and I accepted.

You could have sold it on ebay or discogs for hundreds of dollars

Really? I didn't know... 

 

I'm not actually bitter at you, only at myself. I was desperate and in the middle of an unhealthy get-rid-of-everything phase. Luckily I'm better now, but there are some things that can't be undone. Also luckily, this rerelease is my chance at "redemption" lol.

 

EDIT: Ironically, $150 is actually a pretty good deal for someone looking to buy the old collection, and I doubt used prices will drop much below that in the future.

EDIT: The person who made that video doesn't know Roman numerals though

 

Apparently that's @Falstaft!

[SpotTheDog 39]

Just for fun, any guesses as to the disc art? I imagine it will have the same silver background as the Jurassic Park rerelease, but without the John Williams 90th logo.

 

I'm betting on Malcolm, Sarah, and Kelly on disc one, with Nick and Eddie on the other? Or are Nick and Eddie too boring? Maybe the baby T-rex instead?

Boy, this is coming out at the worst possible time for me. Hopefully it sticks around for a couple months, at least.

 

LLL's original $60 box set with both Jurassic Park Williams scores took a year and a half to sell out 5000 copies. I'll be shocked if this Lost World release sells out faster than that, frankly, since those 5000 people already have a great version of the score.

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

Also the 5,000 copy reissue of the first score is still available 13 months later.

[Groovygoth666 670]

The JP/TLW boxset was the first time I decided I would be collecting any and all Williams expansions, it was also my first pre-order from LLLR so getting that first batch I kept the missing teeth booklet as it felt kinda rare/collectable. 

 

Because of that I skipped the JP reissue and honestly I'll skip this one as well, but it's great to see this score not only available to those who missed out on that boxset but to possibly get an update on the materials that were available at the time or improving certain edits always makes me grateful even if it's a release I don't plan on buying.

Has it gone out of stock, even temporarily? I haven't noticed.

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

Not as far as I know.

God that cover is SO awesome! So excited!

My only complaint is that it doesn't look old and beaten up like the logo for TLW should

while box sets are nice, JW is too good to not have ALL his releases as individual IMHO.

 

But that's another conversation entirely.

So are we ever going to get individual releases for each of his HP and Disaster scores with different cover arts in a few years 😂😂

[Jay 37,369]

The HP and Disaster box sets are still in print!

I would bet we will get individual Potters and Towering Inferno, but it’s obviously years away.

Definitely excited to pick this up! I missed the 4CD Collection back in the day and I've listened the heck out of the 2022 Jurassic Park re-issue.

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

The 2016 TLW might be my most played Williams expansion. I love it to pieces.

Same; it's a presentation of that score I've wanted since I was a kid and I'm so happy we have it. I love listening to that score; I basically watch the film in my head while I listen to it. Glad more folks get a chance to pick it up (I'll be doing the same).

 

Really hoping a vinyl reissue is up sometime soon (either by LLL or Mondo)!

La-La Land Records, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Geffen Records present THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK, a limited 2-CD re-issue presentation of maestro John Williams’ (JAWS, E.T., JURASSIC PARK) original motion picture score to the 1997 blockbuster THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK, the first sequel in the legendary JURASSIC PARK franchise, starring Jeff Goldblum, Julianne Moore and Pete Postlethwaite and directed by Steven Spielberg. Maestro Williams’ sensational and powerful orchestral score thrills and awes, ranking as one of the composer’s most celebrated and unique works.

 

Produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, the 96k/24 bit master files utilized in our previous 2016 collection have been newly output and remastered, including minor sonic improvements throughout. Newly added to this 2-CD expanded reissue are never before released takes of “On The Glass,” “Rescuing Sarah” and “The Raptors Appear,” all featuring alternate instrumentation, plus the unique film version of “Ripples” The 28-page CD booklet features liner notes by Matessino (adapted from our 2016 collection) and the new art design is by Jim Titus. This is a limited edition of 5000 Units.

[scallenger 483]

We've got Ripples, baby!

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

Wow! @Thor will be thrilled about the additional music!

[Justanothercrow421 108]

New versions of a couple of my favorite cues! Just awesome! Can’t to pick this up!!

[Incanus 5,715]

Well I guess I have to buy one of my favourite scores again. Now with alternates!  

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

I hope corporate choppers is a little more separate from fire at camp…. But its great to have a bunch of new alternates

[Evanus 217]

New alternates?! 

[bollemanneke 3,349]

So why couldn't we have those in 2016?

[BB-8 3,479]

This sounds more interesting than the JP reissue.

"alternate instrumentation". Mike probably thought they weren't interesting enough, but now included them just to have something.

[crumbs 14,317]

Don't think there's enough to double-dip personally (percussion-only tracks would've been an insta-buy) but very happy for everyone who missed out on the JP box to get their copy. Absolutely banging score!

Would be cool if The Lost World (Alternate) used different takes throughout, like the other new tracks with previously unreleased takes.

The kazoo tapes couldn't be located back then.

[Dave 217]

I thought I didn't need the expanded edition. Then I looked into this thread today and saw videos and the tracklist. Then my opinion changed.

 

 

 

goodbye flimsy 3d dinorama ost.

[Richard Penna 3,694]

On the Glass is actually a rather interesting cue for an alternate take as I noticed it in the film quite early, and Rescuing Sarah has been a favourite since the OST.

 

But the film version of Ripples is the really irritating one, although also curious. I guess the liners will explain, but is it actually an alternate take that just didn't make it to the 2016 set or is it an edit that MM either had to locate or recreate? Also, there's no room here for it being the same recording but the film still removed four layers of synth or anything like that... it really has to be literally the cue as heard in the film from a layers perspective for it to be worth it.

 

I'm probably going to hold back for a few weeks and see exactly what these are before deciding.

[Brónach 1,302]

so no percussion only cues? sad, i like the atmosphere of such a thing here and there

[Richard Penna 3,694]

I reckon Williams doesn't want percussion-only cues on the set. I have to admit (given the general desire for them otherwise) that I'm not clamouring for those - it feels like the orchestra completes the composition.

Mine's a 5 minute Paint.net job with a few transparent gifs from google. I have no idea how to photoshop  

 

And I'm either reverting to Dante's Peak or choosing something completely different in a couple of days, as this place is just damn confusing now.

[That_Bloke 115]

But what does WOMPI mean? 

[A. A. Ron 1,742]

1500 units seems a little low to me, but what do I know.

[Jurassic Shark 12,079]

That's why it's 5000 units.

[Amer 2,110]

Credit goes to Matessino for providing the film version of 'Ripples' this time. I only wish he done the same film edit for the 'T-Rex Chase'

I love that LLL and Mike never just reissue a score, but always find a way to improve the previous release.
