Romão 2,274 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 There is a 2-cd bootleg of the Towering Inferno, and cd 2 contains several suites of some of JW's harder to find scores. These suites are very long in duration each, and are fantastic, specially Jane Eyre and Black Sunday. My question is, where are these recordings from?

nightscape94 965 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The Rare Breed suite might be from the "Close Encounters : The Essential John Williams Film Music Collection". The track times are really close.I think the Black Sunday suite is from the "Giants of Cinema: The Best of John Williams" compilation which was released in '93.Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholas 1 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Ah, Milton Keynes! This is a huge new town in the English midlands. I remember their TV promotions in the 1980's: "If only all towns could be like Milton Keynes." Oh yeah. Who needs Venice?Is it POSSIBLE to get any more off the original subject?

filmmusic 1,828 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I wanted to ask too where are the Towering inferno and Jane Eyre suites are coming from? I can't seem to find at soundtrackcollector.com database suites with the same length from compilation albums. Do you @Bespin or @Miguel Andrade know? actually the Jane Eyre must be coming from different sources. eg. the second piece should be the one that is in these 2 last compilations: http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/1887/Jane+Eyre edit: oh, 3rd, 4th and 5th piece are these: from the Pops Britannia album. and 1st piece is from this: https://www.discogs.com/John-Williams-4-Keisuke-Wakao-Keisuke-Wakao-Plays-The-Music-Of-John-Williams/release/10922850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 @Romão, the JANE EYRE suite, is from the JANE EYRE boot. @nightscape94 is right; the BLACK SUNDAY suite is from the 1993 GIANTS OF CINEMA, release. I want to hear the OVERTURE, because when I saw the film at the cinema (five times, and in premiere engagements) there was no overture, no intermission music, and no exit music. Mind you, when the intermission happened, the entire cinema would groan. What an inspired place to have an intermission! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I won't be able to check the bootleg for a few days, but many of those include suites or so-called alternates compiled from diferent sources, just as filmmusic was able to verify a couple of post earlier.

Pieter Boelen 740 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I think: Jane Eyre from "Pops Brittania" Towering Inferno from "The Towering Inferno and Other Disaster Classics" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 What about this OVERTURE, then, Pieter? I've tried to find it on YouTube, but to no avail. The POPS BRITANNIA stuff is also on the JANE EYRE boot, although as to what boot came first, I don't have a Scooby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to look up very nearly all unique concert suites and this is the first I hear of its existence. I assumed it might just have been those three concert tracks in one...
