I don't understand what's happened here, but Yavar is such a positive, passionate force here I have no idea why he's become a target. Nor do I understand what the purpose is other than to pick a fight for the sake of picking a fight. I'm not sure why it's so hard for people to be nice to each other. I know it's the Internet which allows the id run rampant, but still.
Well, on another thread I was called a parasite that usually jump on threads! I post so rarely that I believe noone knows who I am. On the same post I was accused of scamming a "big name" here, although I've been collecting/selling/buying/trading CDs for more than 25 years without problems. What can one say...
The set is indeed a great Christmas gift -- not only for Williams fans! Thanks LLL!
Oh, and Yavar, thanks to you and the guys for keeping me company when I'm driving. Yesterday I finished your last three hour episode, I never miss one!
It seems that Cinderella Liberty’s “Maggie Shoots Pool” was used as source music in The Towering Inferno. That passed me by...
Whilst it's only featured very briefly it is heard during a scene when William Holden' s character speaks on the telephone with Paul Newman. It's also not the arrangement from the "Cinderella Liberty" soundtrack, but one specifically recorded for use in "The Towering Inferno".
Happily all of the source cues are all featured in their entirety on this new edition regardless of their shortness in film which in some instances range from a just few seconds to much longer.

I noticed that it was shorter than the original. Thanks for the info, Browny.
I'm SUPER excited for this, it looks stunning. I cannot wait to order it! I just have one tiny question:
Will the two recordings of "The Morning After" performed by Renee Armand be the same as the two on the old LLL CD? Because neither of them are actually the film version.
On the two LLL recordings, Armand sings very crisply, almost with a British accent, so the word "after" sounds like "uftuh" and the word "chance" sounds like "chunce".
On the film recording, Armand's vocal performance is totally different. She is clearly trying to sound more like Carol Lynley. Armand's singing is more breathy and nasal/American, pronouncing the words "chANNce" and "aaafter". This recording matches both the rehearsal scene and the later dinner scene, so it sounds like that one recording was used in both scenes.
Someone posted the full film recording online back in 2005. I have no idea where they sourced it from.
I just wonder if it was available to LLL for this release. If so, that would be amazing!
This video describes how Armand studied Lynley's voice, which Al Kasha describes as "whispery," in order to sound like her:
"If the existing release of a John Williams score was in mono, derived from a source that was literally recorded with the microphone from a portable cassette deck stuck up against a 70's era drive-in speaker, would you still not buy a re-issue that upgraded from that to one with pristine stereo sound derived from the original studio masters?"
I find this to be a curious hypothetical. Are you suggesting that the original CDs sounded anything like that?
No, Thor... It's a hypothetical situation, as in "if it were so..." - I answered the question for us though, in my previous post.
I've been following this sub-topic closely and...has anyone considered that Thor is really a fat Ferengi?

Unfortunately, the two we have are all that are on the music elements. It is possible that Armand came back at the very end of postproduction to replace the vocal a second time and that those recordings then ended up somewhere else. At least Renee is represented and credited, which she wasn't at the time. We also dedicated the release to Carol Lynley.

Well, if he is then I'll have a heapin' helping of his mojo because the eye-candy in the gold dress has driven me mad for years.
Yeah, except her fishy head gear, so I ultimately prefer the unibrowed, pushed-up cleavage friend. And of course we know it's his money that keeps them on his arm.

It's just something about under-boob that kills me, I guess.
Where were we? Oh yeah, something about Star Wars I think?
