Nice surprise - and not too expensive too (for the two... and the two); I loves my Johnny (and I loves my Jerry, and that another oft requested score drops off the guessing lists!)!
As usual while all are elsewhere celebrating an expanded release, I'm over here joyously excited about a John Williams AND Quincy Jones score I've never heard.
This is real giddy excitement! A time machine that gets us to discover these guys all over again.
Takes me back to when I first heard THE REIVERS and THE PAWNBROKER.
And yet again, a Williams item surfaces that I've never even heard of (and that says a lot, since I like to pride myself in knowing about every single thing he's done), much like the ELEVENTH HOUR tv score awhile back.
I guess three Williams releases (including Tintin in Europe) within a month IS rather sparse. Don't worry; it's on the way... and from as far out of left field as they come. Patience.

That's out of left field, all right.

The samples all work. I can't explain your issue. I even heard them on a computer at an office I was visiting today and I just played everyone one of them on my computer just now.
From the first 2 samples, it sounds like an earlier dry-run of his Black Sunday score. Much better than I anticipated. While it's not the John Williams release I really hoped for, the fact it's completely unknown AND unheard of makes it a treat to look forward to playing. These are great times to be a Williams fan

I had never heard of 'Nightwatch' but I just picked up the book 'The Complete Mission: Impossible Dossier' the other day and I read where the 'Nightwatch' pilot was in competition with the 'Mission: Impossible' pilot for the network to decide which series to pick up. After some pressure from Lucille Ball CBS went with 'Mission: Impossible'. I wonder if 'Nightwatch' would be as well remembered a show if things had gone the other way...
