Anybody collect JW on vinyl?

[dooku77 0]

I've found some really cool scores that are damn near impossible to find on cd Cinderella Liberty, Towering Inferno, Witches of Eastwick, Jaws 2, the River, Monsignor, Yes Giorgio, Eiger Sanction, Dracula, The Fury, and Earthquake.

Congrats with you finds. I have Close Encounters, Star Wars, Witches Of Eastwick, Spacecamp, Raiders, Temple Of Doom, Superman, Towering Inferno, Jaws II, ET, Empire Of The Sun and Return Of The Jedi.

I have the Fury, Dracula, Star Wars and some Boston Pops recordings.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

I only have Temple of Doom. Still haven't opened it yet.

[Mr. Breathmask 555]

I only have The Fury of the ones mentioned. The Varèse Deluxe Edition. And is Empire of the Sun really hard to find?

EDIT: Oh damn, I totally neglected the topic subject. No, I don't have any vynil. :oops:

Williams on vinyl forms a small but significant portion of my Williams collection, in particular Not With My Wife You Dont, Diamond Head, and my most treasured Checkmate. My full list of vinyl Williams is on the "tell us your Williams collection" thread.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

I have Star Wars, the 1 LP TESB, Jaws, CE3K, several LP's of E.T., Dracula, the 2 LP release of Phantom Menace and the 3 original Indiana Jones LP's.

I don't consider myself a collector though.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

Wow! There was an LP release of TPM? Must find. Must find.

Someone who has an LP player might be interested in this. Raiders, ToD and Last Crusade for a buck.

[King Mark 3,631]

I have no need for vinyls,although it might be a choice to get some scores that are OOP otherwise,but i'd try to trade cdr's at the trading board first.

Actually, there's is something quite nice about holding an LP of John Williams in your hands. If in good condition, the cover alone makes it worthwhile. And on a auditive side, the original Star Wars album is still the only good Star Wars album, at least to this poster's ears (I know that for some it's a little too dark-sounding but at least there is some dept in the music). I'm sure that a lot of it is due to sentiment (usually the main motivation of every collector), but it's really hard for me to stumble upon a mint copy of a missing soundtrack by John Williams and not take it home.

Someone who knows if these LPs increasein value over time? Of course they will be get rare, but the quality will decline (as with cds, actually )

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

LP's will eventually wear because you are putting a sharp needle on the surfice of the disc, but i'm sure the rate of decline very much depands on the quality of your player and the way you handle your LP's.

I have SW, ESB, ROTJ, Dracula, Jaws 2, CEOT3K.

Jaws 2 is the one that, had it not been for vinyl, I still wouldn't have been able to experience.

[Greg1138 3]

Greg is unable to contribute to this thread, owning no JW on Vinyl apart from that "Stereo Space Oddysey" thing which was the first record I ever bought.....
