I'm surprised Williams was involved with the album. How'd they convince him to let it be released?

Have you never changed your mind about anything?

Haven't posted here in ages but this news woke me right up! What a fantastic way to celebrate 50 years of the Spielberg/Williams collaboration and the 50th anniversary of this film! Never thought I'd see the soundtrack issued in my lifetime - 50 years is a long time to keep hoping.

Ordered immediately! Thank you, La La Land Records!!!

So I can still hold out hope Williams will let LLL put the disco version of CEOT3K on a re-release of the expanded soundtrack?

Fantastic news! Never thought we'd see this but it once again shows that, really, any release is possible. Never give up hope on those "grails" still waiting out there.

At the risk of being drawn and quartered... Though John Williams has written some of my favorite film music, I won't be buying this. I am not, to put it mildly, a fan of "Toots" in any film score that I've heard his work. No accounting for taste, right? I have steadfastly avoided anything with his name on it. I don't per se hate all use of harmonica: My first Goldsmith soundtrack, Lilies of the Field, is a long time favorite, and features a fair amount of harmonica. Something about Toots's tooting just really irritates the hell out of me. A second reason: With all I've read here in this forum about Sugarland over the years, it seems that it was a brief score, Williams has not been especially proud of it and had been reluctant to allow its release, and he has gone on to do (stated simply) a great number of much better things. I hope it sells out, though, because (a) I want everyone to be able to have the music they desire and (b) the better things I don't care about sell, the greater the chances that something I do care about about will make it to a release. So, buy up, and enjoy your toots.

So you aren't alone, I'll join you. I'll buy it eventually , played a couple of times and then it'll be filed away. It's OK just not a fav.

Amazing. How many years have we all been talking about this score, Williams refusing to allow its release, etc.? And now here it is.

I have so far all John Williams/Steven Spielberg collaborations, so I'll definitely get this one.

It’s not your typical John Williams score, but Williams is absolutely right…It fits the movie perfectly and therefore it is a buy.

Yeah, it may not be your typical Williams score if you consider your typical Williams score to be STAR WARS/SUPERMAN/E.T./INDIANA JONES/ etc., but I always loved Williams' more folksy side.
THE COWBOYS is among my all time favorite Williams scores, and so is what may be Williams most underrated score, ROSEWOOD, which I personally consider a masterpiece and one of my favorite film scores.

Don't forget, this is the John Williams in the midst of IMAGES, LONG GOODBYE, CONRACK, CINDERELLA LIBERTY and PETE N TILLIE.
Even the first mega blockbuster (JAWS) was still a year or so away.
This score is folk-like low key with country stylings.
Can't wait to hear The Final Ride* in good quality sound.


* missing from the boot and in terrible sound thereafter.

I wonder why they didn't include a clip of that cue if it's popular...
