AC1 3,565 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Which weird John Williams covers/arrangements do you own, or know of?I have these:Carpenters: Medley Close Encounters/Star WarsSet up as an piano concerto with Richard Carpenter behind the keys. If you want my honest opinion, this is not very good, and I'm being extremely mild here. It wasn't meant to be released. It was recorded for a TV special.The Trotter Trio: Sketches on Star WarsA selection (10 of them) of famous Star Wars themes warped in jazz versions! A rather fun album.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 964 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 There are too many to name... "Can You read My Mind" by Shirley Bassey, for example. There are numerous recordings of "Make me Rainbows" (from Fitzwilly), probably the most recorded Williams song. Some of them quiet good, like the one by Ella Fitzgerald and Count Basie.You can check some of those on my website http://johnwilliams.jw-music.netAnd is there a chance you can get me a mp3 of the Carpenters cover?

Yes, but are they strange or weird? Are you sure you want a MP3? The Carpenters album is easy available. The name of the album is "As Time Goes By"----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 292 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have the Meco Star Wars album on vinyl. I bought it at a used record store for like $4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC1 3,565 Posted September 4, 2003 Author Share Posted September 4, 2003 Yeah, MECO did Close Encounters too. And The Empire Strikes back, I believe. The Star Wars was a major worldwide hit. ----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Many 0 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I have a CD with four dance remixes of Duel of the Fates. Also, the Imperial March performed by Metallica. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uni 306 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Walter Murphy's E.T. and More is a lot of fun. It's basically Williams classics (along with some ST material) done up like Hooked on Classics. Since Hooked was a favorite series of mine growing up, I had a blast with it.- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â AnthonyWhat Mettalica albumincludes the Imperial March. I've read about that, but never found it. Since my brother likes Mettalica, that's a good excuse for a gift...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 Actually, it's no album, it's just what they played in a concert - there are mp3's of this and No Doubt's rendition of the same theme floating around. I've got them both in some data CD somewhere if you want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 964 Posted September 4, 2003 Share Posted September 4, 2003 I've found the Metallica one on Kazza. I'll try to find the No Doubt's rendition. But thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
