When ever I play those vids, one only has to toggle between the mono and the stereo, just to hear how much better the mono sounds.
The mono mix is superior in many ways.

What was the harmonica/guitar campfire music at the very beginning of the movie? Were they just riffing in that scene?
Yes, that was an improv by the bonfire guitarist, a local actor, Mike Haydn, who still lives and plays in Martha's Vineyard. I met Mike at Jawsfest '05, nice fellow, and he told me Spielberg asked him to improvise on the day. He later worked his tune into a song, which he played around a beach bonfire prior to a nighttime screening of "Jaws" on the beach in 2005. He has music samples on his website:

Great info. Thanks!

Yes, there is direct contact on occasion. Can't really elaborate beyond that, but what's important is he makes time to listen and comment on the work.

* = What I don't know, regardless if it's 9,999 or 10,000, is if that's per label release or just for a title; say a label released "Jaws 19" and sold 10,000 copies, could then another label re-issue that same title and sell another 10,000?
I think the 10,000 limit is per license. Isn't that what happened with Back to the Future's original 2-CD release? I'm pretty sure Roger or Doug said they sold the full 10,000, so they must have purchased a new license for their new single CD version.
New rules went into effect Aug 15, 2015 of this year. Now the limit is 5,000 units with NO payment and then you gotta pay the full pop if you go beyond 5,000.
That rule applies to anything released before Aug 14, 2005

I hate to be that guy, but...anyone got a shipping notice ?
I realllllllly want to listen to this sucker...have it in my hands, read the notes.
The original MCA album is a perfect presentation of the score, I actually remember buying it back in '75, and remember how over the next few years how worn out the LP became, and how tattered the cover was .
In the last year or so I've been going back and listening to Williams again, and although for years I've been saying Goldsmith this and Goldsmith that, I've come to realize all over again how perfect this score is, it has some of my all time favorite film score moments - Man Against Beast is for me, maybe the all time best marriage of movie and music, a simply stunning 5:30 if brilliant film making and music composition.
There's so much to love in this masterpiece, and the end titles also are an all time favorite.
So, anyone get a shipping notice?

Now that it's on its way to me; meanwhile at the Jackfu household...
Mrs. Jackfu: "Honey, what do you think for Thanksgiving dinner; I'd like to get that new tablecloth I saw, and we can use the same centerpiece again with fresh flowers, we can blah, blah, blah,...
Jackfu (thinking): "Lets see, USPS tracking says the CD is at the facility in Oakland, so it'll take how long to come 3,000 miles, maybe I can pick it up at the main Post Office, it's close to work, that'll save at least one day in arriving..."
Mrs. Jackfu: ...candles, and...are you listening to me?!?!"
