Apparently this June 19th release date for the OST album has been on the internet since Tuesday, even though I only just saw it shortly before starting the thread.  I came across a post in the Intrada Soundtrack Club group on Facebook where two different posters referenced a June 19th release date, which I thought was odd since the film opens on June 12th.  So I did some googling, and came across that Threads post that I put in the main post.  I couldn't find any other references to it, but maybe somebody else will find something more concrete.

 

If the OST album isn't coming out until June 19th, that will be the first John Williams OST album to not be available either on the same day that the film opens or earlier since.... well, I don't know when!  Who wants to research this?

I don't see why the soundtrack would be released a week after the film's release, not that it is a major gripe; it is only a week. Better to have official confirmation.

Well, that would be like the good old days. If we want to hear the new score, we'll have to go back to the theater. 😉

That's a good point. I've been used to the soundtrack releasing the same day as the film. I'm fine either way, as I will be seeing the film multiple times in theaters.

Je ne vois pas pourquoi la bande originale sortirait une semaine après le film, même si ce n'est pas un gros problème ; ce n'est qu'une semaine. Mieux vaut une confirmation officielle.

I agree

At this point it's just as likely that that Threads user was going off some legitimate information he received, as it is he made a typo and meant to time June 12th.  Who knows.

That would make a lot more sense.

This is already the most exciting thread ever!

Is there any chance this won't be released on physical cd?

Hasn't this been done with some soundtracks of the last years?

Although, I can't believe that a Williams score, wouldn't!

The cover that FMR used in that tweet is a fan-made one from this forum, right?

Also May 26th: The user "digital_junkie" posts the following on Threads: "Composer John Williams soundtrack for Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day will drop on digital streaming services June 19th.

Here's what Grok says about the album cover:

 

The images in the @filmmusicrep posts (the dramatic glowing blue eye with "ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK", "SPIELBERG", "DISCLOSURE DAY", and "MUSIC BY JOHN WILLIAMS") are promotional teaser/mockup artwork, not the final retail album cover.

 

Why?

  • No official retail cover has been released yet. The soundtrack is still upcoming (digital ~June 19, 2026 via Back Lot Music; physical via Mondo). Sites tracking the release (including FMDB and major soundtrack databases) explicitly note "No cover available."
  • John Williams fan communities (e.g., JWFan) label this exact style of artwork as "unofficial cover" and have dedicated threads for fan-made/custom versions while waiting for the real one.
  • It’s high-quality and professionally designed (fits the film’s sci-fi “disclosure”/observation theme perfectly), which is why @filmmusicrep used it for the announcement. Labels and reporters often share teaser mockups like this early on, especially for vinyl announcements with Mondo.

It functions as official promotional teaser art for the news drop, but it is very likely not the finalized cover that will appear on digital stores or the physical release. That usually comes closer to (or at) the actual album drop.

Well anyway I wonder where various sources are getting the June 19th date and the fact that there will be an announcement next week from.

So, the release date for the soundtrack is officially June 19th? Dang it. Oh, well. It’s only a week later; plus, I’ll be seeing the film multiple times anyway.

That's just Grok's interpretation of the currently available data.

Since "digital_junkie" was the first one to mention that date, everyone else probably got it from him too.

Just a recollection of probabilities and data, as flawed as every other "AI" model.

Got it; in other words, not a reliable source.

Perplexity is the most reliable one I've found. I've found Grok just makes shit up if it thinks it's what the user wants to hear.

Was any of Johns music used in the trailers?

My cover was really close, messa proud. That is, if this is the real cover, font is much closer to the one they actually used for the logo.

This is odd. Are they even keeping the score a secret?

It’s actually not that odd.

 

The last time excerpts from the Maestro’s score was used in a trailer for Steven Spielberg’s film was Lincoln. The BFG, The Post and The Fabelmans did not use excerpts from their respective scores for the trailers.

 

Regarding the secret: if it makes you feel better, it’s an awesome secret that will be disclosed soon.😉

We don't think it's the real cover:

But you can be proud; it's the one being used here 😉

In regards to score releases, they have been usually released prior to the film. Not just Williams. 

 

Case in point; I went to Sam Goody and got the JFK release on cassette on my way to the theater to watch JFK, on day of release. 

 

 

Posted

To my knowledge at least, the soundtrack has always been released around the same time as the film.

Posted

Mando is the only score I can think of that’s been released early recently. It’s been the norm for many years to release the score album day of or a week after the theatrical release.

"Score releases that aren't John Williams have been released prior to the film. Here is an example that is a John Williams score." ;)

Right, what I meant was:  I wonder where digital_junkie got the June 19th date from?

 

And: I wonder where Film Music Reporter got the 'there will be an announcement next week' news from?

 

It seems like this information is coming from a place that we should be able to find, like some official Back Lot page of some sort, or a Back Lot employee who comments on other social media posts, or something along those lines.  But I haven't been able to find it.

I'm going through the sites I'm aware of, but nothing yet. Is there a way to find unlisted YouTube videos?
