New 22 CD boxset "John Williams: The Anthology, Vol. 1 - 1969-1990" (2025-07-18)


Recommended Posts

It has dropped a whole penny since my pre-order on Amazon! "Now under £200!"

 

Looks like I'm going to need to sell my beloved three Lord of the Rings Complete Recordings on vinyl to be able to afford these box sets. Sigh.

I'm very curious to see the decisions that were made regarding the scores for the other two volumes. I'm very grateful to Mike Matessino for pushing... it's certain that this came from him... the extended program rather than the OST for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". I also appreciate the use of extended versions for the three "Indiana Jones" films; they're not perfect, but they surpass the OSTs. I probably would have liked a similar treatment for the three "Star Wars" films, but well, it seems to be complicated, hehe... 

 

I wonder if, for "Artificial Intelligence", Mike managed to push the album version imagined by John Williams instead of the OST (which would likely exclude the two sung tracks).

 

And you, for which other score would you like to see the extended version used instead of the original soundtrack on this Anthology?

He didn't use anything; I believe he was just a consultant on the project, helping determine the 'best' option for each score.

 

The credits in the Star Wars booklet confirm that the demastered versions were used.

I think, for the Star Wars OT the OST weren't used as well, but the content of the Arista boxset.

I don't know you well enough to tell if you're being serious or joking, but you're spreading false information, so I need to correct it.

 

You haven't read what I wrote earlier, and what was posted as well?

 

The content of each CD has been posted; regarding Star Wars, these are the OST programs that will be used.

Oh right. Sorry. I just checked it. I must have mixed it up with the Indiana Jones albums.

 

Strange that they didn't at least make an exception for Return of the Jedi, snce this album is so short.

I was very surprised to find that Sony had removed two source cues (Christmas songs) from the "Home Alone" OST. In doing so, Sony really went into cost-cutting mode wherever possible! I can't wait to see which other OSTs will also be trimmed in future volumes... "Catch Me If You Can" for sure, and probably "Artificial Intelligence" as well.... "JFK"?
