Miz 139 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Does anyone here know of the availability of full-score bootlegs in the UK? I assume they're difficult to get hold of, and I'm not even sure about how you lot (ok, some) would get bootleg copies in the US.If I was to buy one it would definately be Hook. The score made me buy the film, and the other music within it makes the bootleg appeal. (Another would be Independence Day for me). Has anyone from (or in) the UK managed to buy bootlegs?

Morlock 11 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Yeah, the score's ok The bootlegs are pretty common around fans (I've got one), there are several different bootlegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrScratch 294 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 It's Hook.I'm really enjoying this one. Very big and brassy, but wonderfully adventurous at the same time. Great stuff.I've been listening to this myself lately... Hook-napped, Arrival of Tink and Presenting The Hook are three terrific tracks. My favorites of the album. My least favorite thing about the album is that the track titles are only printed on the CD itself. Unless they've since corrected that, my Hook CD is over 10 years old.Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 My OST album's booklet has the titles printed on it as well as the CD, but the listing in the booklet isn't even numbered.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 I don't like the booklet. Only very small pictures, no track numbers or times, and those black pages that have a ton of smudgy fingerprints on them in no time.The CD on the other hand, is wonderful. I'm not too fond of the songs, but the score is great. I need to see this film again.- Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,792 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 i saw the concorde covers, there is not mention of We dont wanna grow up. And it also do not seem to be in order. Am i wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixie_twinkle 48 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I have the Concorde CD of this. I was disappointed by the sound quality. Many of the bass drum hits were mixed too loud and ended up distorting. I found this very noticable at the end of Prologue, amongst other places. I wonder if I just got a bad cd? Everyone else seems to love it. Apart from the distortions I like the extra music though. I was just annoyed as I paid around 50 bucks for it on ebay. As for the score in general, well what's not to like? It's choc full o' tunes and wonderful 40s-style orchestration. I love the homage to Korngold's "Sea Hawk" during Hooknapped.

Romão 2,274 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yeah, Ray, and the fact that I was a fan of the books before the movies came out made me follow the birth and growth of this musical saga much closer, and to see it fit such a woderful universe as perfectly as it does ensures that these scores have a very special place in my heart. And the POA score is the icing on the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Exactly . . . no matter how good the music is of scores from the past, it's much easier and more natural to relate to something you're around to experience at the time. For me at least, and it sounds like it's the same for you.Ray Barnsbury-expecting certain people to have a heyday with this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I consider Hook one of John's crowning achievements, with Empire Strikes Back and Schindler's List. My collection is not big yet, but I do have the pleasure of having those three scores among others. I think I listen to Hook more than any of the others, it's just so much more magical, plus I'm a big sucker for crisp quality and I prefer happy music.
