Now, now -- let's give Thor the benefit of the doubt.

Maybe he's just been putting his headphones on backwards each time.

I had a reversed channel THE COWBOYS cd and it was keeping me up nights. So I continued to search for a corrected copy and fortunately found one. Now I sleep like a baby!

Yes, indeed.

I've always only owned the 'incorrect' version, and have been more than pleased with that. I don't mind that the strings and brass have changed place. It also has a very good selection and sequencing of tracks.

Yes but Thor! How can you! It's a mistake!

He turns his back on the speakers to hear the correct spread.

Hahaha exactly!

We had thought of releasing The Poseidon Adventure with reversed channels.

mono or stereo?

Stereo. So you'd have to stand on your end for it to sound right.

Just as long as it's confusingly out-of-chronological-sequence and under 35 minutes, he's okay with it.

It's kind of like going into a fine restaurant, ordering the finest cut steak they have and then smothering it with ketchup. Sure...it may taste good to someone, but they really don't seem to understand how to appreciate the finer qualities of what they have.

I've definitely seen reports re: Sugarland Express, and re: Storia una donna. Otherwise, I haven't heard of some Williams blanket ban or anything like that. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but vetoing two releases doesn't mean he'll veto all of them.

Funny that Williams would think that his work on John Goldfarb, or Nightwatch, and such stuff deserved a release, but his exceptional score to Storia di una Donna doesn't..

edit: Oh, never mind. I just read a post of someone that said that Williams didn't pay attention back then on releases, something like that..

Any chance of something in the style of The Great Race or Wild Wild West?

How about High Time (1960) and Experiment In Terror (1962)? I know there's a blueray but I've never bothered to make my own edit of the soundtrack. Then there's A Shot In The Dark (1964) and Arabesque (1966).

Born on the Fourth July would be a good release to me. The current release has mostly pop, with only a 23 minute score from Williams, there's around 80+ minutes to this score.

There have been things the Maestro has said no to doing, but generally he has embraced these restorations and expansions of late, so it's possible to bring subjects up again at the appropriate time. The conversations just need to happen carefully and without proposing too many projects at once.

Varese fixed the channel-swapped The Cowboys way back but the release was shorter than even an average LP would have been. Plus most of the material not included was already on a boot record made in the early '80s, so it's a worth one to revisit in my opinion.

Meanwhile, La-La Land's August is starting to look good. A lot of recent administrative hiccups have at last been resolved.

MV, sorry to ask but in light of mxmx's comment is LLL still on schedule for their August lineup!

There is only one that desperately needs expanding/re-recording.... DRACULA.

100% wrong. Jane Eyre and The Cowboys also definitely need expanding/re-recording.

And The Rare Breed, The Plainsman, and Story of a Woman very much need premiere releases (and if Universal doesn't have the original recordings, they would need to be re-recorded).

JANE EYRE
And how many seconds exactly are missing? Not to mention it had a perfectly fine album from LLL and before on Silva Screen (but LLL with pretty incredible sound already).

RARE BREED and PLAISMAN
Are those supposed to be masterpieces of any sort? Kind of doubt that... not to mention the tapes are most likely long gone?

STORY OF A WOMAN
tapes are probably gone at least until they miraculously surface somewhere the way Papillon did recently... until then the only option is re-recording, which Williams suddenly won't allow for some reason, although there were no problems with previous re-recordings of Amazing Stories, Midway or Jaws...

-------------

Unlike Rare Breed and Plainsman, Dracula is a masterpiece and unlike Jane Eyre (and The Cowboys) it still lacks a decent album - both in terms of major sequences missing and the fairly terrible sound quality.

Therefore Dracula nr. 1, Story of a Woman Nr. 2... others in long distance behind these two...

Mike, what are some of the tell-tale signs that the copy one has is the channel-reversed version?

Just put on headphones and listen for the violins. They should be in your left ear. If they're on the right, then you have the uncorrected version.

Mike M.

Thanks, Mike!

I wonder if those demos Isham did will be included.

I had submitted demos for maybe a quarter of the movie and he was happy. And I was just about to get really, really going when ... and then there was ah ... there was a breakdown between him and Kevin Costner ... and they're old friends and I won't begin to know, or care to relate actually what may have gone on there, but basically it ended up with Kevin Reynolds not finishing the movie, and Kevin Costner took over.
