slight detail... I believe THE KILLERS is available as an isolated score track on the Criterion DVD, so it's not entirely accurate that it has never had a legit release.

To Thor- great thread, be good if we can do this with many film composers, let's see what we are missing.

THE PLAINSMAN THE RARE BREED THE SECRET WAYS Not familiar with Secret Ways so I'd say the first two plus Sgt. Ryker. Really cool that there are so few remaining (though I am one of the folks that wouldn't mind expansions of some of the ones that are already out there, but will respect Thor's request by not listing them here.

Let's add Johnny's full body of work for NBC news and NBC sports and his Great Performances theme.

This is a pretty comprehensive list. Not sure if this is relevant, but I've always wondered why John Williams would sound like preforming Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D Minor Op. 125, Ode to Joy.

I would add his work on the Sherman Bros TOM SAWYER musical. Like GOODBYE MR CHIPS, there's some fantastic Williams material that just oozes that 70's Americana-style class. Yes, an LP was released with the songs and featuring Williams' arrangements, but NONE OF HIS SCORE has ever been released, and mighty fine stuff it is. Together with STORY OF A WOMAN, they are my two most desired John Williams releases now.

"Yeah, the recent Sony compilation included the FOR SEJII piece, renamed HAPPY BIRTHDAY VARIATIONS:" -------------------------------- ??? They are two completely different pieces. I've heard the HAPPY BIRTHDAY VARIATIONS track, courtesy of Mark Langdon (and I will probably pick this CD up in the future, when Amazon offer it quite cheaply) and it's NOTHING to do with For Sejii. It is, however, like his Star Spangled Banner arrangement, another fantastic showcase of how Mr Williams can take a piece of music you've heard your whole life and make it sound like something he wrote himself, via his orchestration abilities. I remember it started out like a variation of his Hogwarts Hymn and then segues into other familiar JW styles.
