Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 My list is too long to have it here...And I do collect all those obscure Johnny Williams stuff -- and even the ones by one Johnny Towner In fact of those early stuff, there is only one lp that I really think is poorer, that being his arrnagments on the themes from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess (from 1957). Note that i do love Gershiwn music, but Williams arrangments here are... how can I put it? Weak...Couriously enought on that same year he made a number of othar jazz oriented recodrings that are much superior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Mark 3,631 Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 I kinda agree with KM, except for LiS being good.I agree that a lot of it is quite boring and very dry orchestral music,but some portions of it are just as good as anything he's ever written.The 1 minute of suspence/cliffhanger music before episode ends is pure genius,among other things.Maybe you don't think it's any good,but it's still the first time he wrote in a manner that very much influenced him for 70's disaster scores and Star Wars.So to me it's a seminal score that spawned a lot of things that followed..Maybe if he hadn't written that music his career would not have naturally evolved in the genre of music we all love.K.M.

But you make a valid point... Personally, as much as I like Lost In Space, I don't think he really hit his stride till the early 70s. Images and Poseidon Adventure era.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 In 1997, RCA released three diferent versions for each score. There was the deluxe and limited version (I believe 5000 copies each), with laser embossed cd labels, and the discs came in the sleeves of the hard cover booklets. The was the regular releases, in jewel cases, with regular printed labels.And there are some hard to find versions, that have a diferent cover art, featuring Drew Stulzman cover art for the film re-releases.Plus there are a number of promo releases of singles and selections, issued for use in radio stations. And the three cd singles (Cantina Band #1 & #2 for A New Hope, Imperial March for Emprire strikes Back, and Jedi Rocks for REturn of the Jedi). There is also an additional cd single made available to general public throught the first sold copies of the VHS edition of tha trilogy, featuring the Imperial March and Betrayal in Bespin, both from Empire Strikes Back. Every cd single is a shaped disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have the 6-cd boxed set laser engraved version: all the three soundtrack double CD's housed in a special case made for all three limited encased and laser engraved versions of them.So does anyone have that one?
