I've seen some daft arguments on this board over the years but I don't know if I've ever seen anyone try to start one out of nowhere With respect to your years of expertise George, I think you can stand down sir. It's all good. (Although the Decca does sound rubbish thanks to the noise reduction.... just my opinion.) Glad Intrada have been able to make this available again. (Albeit for a short window... hopefully not long until the next one) As others have said, Mike did an amazing job in being able to create a natural sounding mix from the three channels. On the subject of Man Against Beast... as far as I know the flub is heard in the film by mistake. They used the wrong take in the dvd mix I think, so it's not really the film take. maybe.... someone can correct me on that perhaps    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 3:03 AM     By:   Graham Watt   (Member) I would hate to to try to "correct" a man as BIG as Jim T. Wilson regarding flubber, so I'll agree with him on the sound of the Decca release. It sounds like it was taped off my neighbour's telly, through the wall, with the cassette player microphone wrapped in a duvet.    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 12:31 PM     By:   Erik Woods   (Member) (Although the Decca does sound rubbish thanks to the noise reduction.... just my opinion.) Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!!! Hold on there, Big Jim. That's NOT an opinion. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . That's a fact, Jack!    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 1:10 PM     By:   Roger Feigelson   (Member) I would hate to to try to "correct" a man as BIG as Jim T.

It sounds like it was taped off my neighbour's telly, through the wall, with the cassette player microphone wrapped in a duvet. If I remember correctly, the Decca release was created by folding down to 2-track the 5.1 mix for the film that had liberal amounts of reverb and noise reduction applied. For the Intrada release Mike went back to the original 3-track masters.    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 1:46 PM     By:   Big Jim T Wilson   (Member) I would hate to to try to "correct" a man as BIG as Jim T.

"That's a 20 footer..... 25"    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 1:46 PM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) I've got over 40 years of experience* of listening to the JAWS score via various options, using my super attuned ears and incredibly good judgement (I won't mention my handsome good looks too). And it's never sounded better than the Intrada 2 disc edition that Mike Matessino remastered. A truly sonic spectacular experience after the cracks and pops of the LP and the muddy waters of the disappointing Decca expansion. It's gonna be my go-to version to the end, I imagine. And I also imagine there have been many engineers in many industries who were just bang average, or not even very good. Not everyone is top notch. *near a dusty tree    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 1:47 PM     By:   Big Jim T Wilson   (Member) (Although the Decca does sound rubbish thanks to the noise reduction.... just my opinion.)

You can prove anything with facts.    Posted:   Feb 12, 2024 - 10:46 PM     By:   BrenKel   (Member) Wow! Yet another thread starts getting spiteful, from I can read, for absolutely no reason whatsoever (in fact there is never reason to get spiteful). It’s been very clear to me for years that the Decca product was seriously flawed. It never sounded good. Intrada blew that away with a brilliant release. To me the sound of that cd is as close to fantastic as you can get. THE only way to listen to the Jaws score.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2024 - 3:17 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) And is back in stock at Intrada. If you missed this one grab it now.    Posted:   Mar 24, 2024 - 3:25 PM     By:   Phil567   (Member) And is back in stock at Intrada. If you missed this one grab it now. I actually did, earlier today. I figured, seize the moment!    Posted:   Mar 24, 2024 - 3:32 PM     By:   danbeck   (Member) Listening to it again now and it is amazing how good Mike was able to make it sound. Clean and powerful with great detail.    Posted:   Apr 25, 2025 - 10:36 AM     By:   davefg   (Member) I missed this, is it gone for good?    Posted:   Apr 25, 2025 - 2:41 PM     By:   Lovejoy   (Member) I missed this, is it gone for good? It's the 50th anniversary this year, I'm almost certain someone will do something Jaws related...    Posted:   Apr 25, 2025 - 2:50 PM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) Wasn't this already the second Intrada JAWS release? So not sure if there will be a third one?    Posted:   Apr 25, 2025 - 9:07 PM     By:   Steve H   (Member) It’s been very clear to me for years that the Decca product was seriously flawed. It never sounded good. Intrada blew that away with a brilliant release. To me the sound of that cd is as close to fantastic as you can get. THE only way to listen to the Jaws score. Despite its flaws I still have a nostalgic fondness for the Decca release. At the time The film tracks were one of my true holy grails to one of my favourite scores of all time and when this was released it was like Wow! I'm even partial to the digipak packaging and I do prefer the cover over other editions. Man Against Beast may be the incorrect take and have the flubbed note but there's something to it (tempo's maybe?), that for me anyway, makes it way more exciting than the take on the Intrada, which is truly wonderful I might add. I just don't think the Decca release should cop a lot of the shade it does around here.    Posted:   Apr 25, 2025 - 10:01 PM     By:   BornOfAJackal   (Member) When it comes to Digipak-ed, single-disc Williams score remasters from 1997, the Close Encounters of the Third Kind release towers over the Jaws release.    Posted:   Apr 26, 2025 - 4:32 AM     By:   davefg   (Member) Wasn't this already the second Intrada JAWS release? So not sure if there will be a third one? I thought it was the second repressing of the first release? Could be wrong    Posted:   Apr 26, 2025 - 4:32 AM     By:   davefg   (Member) I missed this, is it gone for good?

Here's hoping...    Posted:   Apr 26, 2025 - 5:05 AM     By:   PJC1138   (Member) Intrada shows this as being “sold out” - not “temporarily out of stock”. I’m afraid it’s the secondary market and inflated prices.     General Discussion: John Williams - JAWS (1975) - 2015 Intrada 2-CD    << < 16 17 18 19 20  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
