CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: 40th ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDITION
(2-CD SET) LLLCD 1433
Music by John Williams
Limited Edition of 5000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $29.98

La-La Land Records, Sony Music and Columbia Pictures present CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: 40th ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED LIMITED EDITION, a special 2-CD set featuring a newly restored and remastered presentation of Academy Award-Winning composer John Williams’ (JAWS, STAR WARS, SCHINDLER’S LIST) original motion picture score to the 1977 landmark feature film CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr. Maestro Williams’ score personifies this classic film’s boundless wonder – searching through, and communicating with, the deep expanses of space as it also explores the unknowable mysteries of the human soul.

This deluxe 2-CD edition, meticulously produced, mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino, in consultation with the composer and director, was inspired by the discovery that Williams had originally planned the soundtrack as a 75-minute double LP. Disc One of this presentation takes its lead from that initial intent, expanding and organizing the score as a grand symphony contained on a single disc. Disc Two offers an equally fresh experience of the score, comprised of discrete versions of cues, alternates and selections not heard on Disc One, plus many of the 1977 album tracks, as well as previously unreleased source music recorded for the film. Matessino’s exclusive liner notes explore this iconic, majestic score, while Jim Titus’ art design handsomely recalls all those joyous feelings generated by one of the greatest science fiction film experiences of all time. This is a limited edition release of 5000 units.

Is this Johnny kid any good?

So is this A typical JW album on disc 1 ? - like the one on Episode I

This one has always sounded problematic on disc (and the film itself in the case of the end title) so I'm hoping this will be the definitive release.

Fantastic!

Just like the recent E.T. release I'm really looking forward to exploring and getting into the detail of this incredible score especially with the fantastic liner notes which always accompany LLL's JW score releases.

Great release! Besides that this is a 2-CD set, how much new music is on this set when you compare it with the Collector's Edition Soundtrack from Arista? When I compare the tracklist, almost all the track from that release are also on this one.

question : are the old editions relevant?

 
 Posted:   Nov 24, 2017 - 5:21 AM   
 By:   spielboy   (Member)

so all disc 1 is already released music (except few seconds on track 1) and we're paying 30$ + shipping for alternates?

Uuuuughhhhhh...

There's always that one guy.

I'll be snatching this one up on Tuesday, for sure. Thank you, La-La-Land!

My thoughts exactly, Nicholas_DW.

Yes, thank you LLL. I'll be ordering this, and probably Die Another Day too.... smile

I did read somewhere in an interview that you can theoretically take all the music presented on this set and organize your own C&C. Is this still accurate?

 By:   Solium   (Member)

Will purchase this for sure! Question, does disc one or disc two have the original end credits?
