Received SPACECAMP along with the reissued LAST STARFIGHTER and I'm in heaven. Just trying to remember an era when big, gorgeous thematic scores like this appeared on a regular basis. Those were the days.

Wow, the low end in the film tracks is really punchy! A really great recording beautifully mastered.
I noticed that too -- a really nice improvement.

Ok, I'm gonna just admit it - this sounds to me like John Williams' lost Star Trek score!
Almost like Dennis McCarthy, Ron Jones et al. were given this as a temp track for the first couple seasons of Next Generation.
Ok, not really - but it really does give me that hopeful, sense-of-wonder vibe that the best Star Trek music does (though maybe not as much in TOS, since the focus there was more often on the dramatic).
Anyway, this is great for me - my one dream would have been for Williams to do music for Star Trek, and this is it for me!
Enjoying the expansion a lot - again, may just be where I am these days, but I need this kind of music.

I've been loving the album too, so great to have both the complete film score and the remastered album too, I love this new trend!

I was secretly hoping that this release would include John's son Joseph Williams' contributions to the film soundtrack, in the form of three songs. Have John Williams' soundtrack releases ever included songs? or at least recently (in terms of releases)? was there ever a chance that they could have included those songs, similar to how the Superman scores had the songs included? (I'm as big a Joseph Williams fan as I am John Williams, so its more than just a family thing for me).
Here's the IMDB link to the names of the songs included in the film.

The expanded and remastered SPACE CAMP finally arrived in my mailbox today - and it is just stunning. Sheer pleasure.
Wonderful, wonderful job, Intrada! Thank you for this so much.

I've always loved this score and will always treasure the exhilaration of experiencing this (let's be honest, rather mediocre) movie in 1986 on the then huge screen of the Odeon Marble Arch, London (sadly no more). I think I was one of perhaps two or three other audience members at a weekday matinee showing, and already a teenage Williams fanatic. The score in the film really pushed this film into the realms of wonder and excitement, and I shall never forget the stunning end credits with the huge curtains of this theatre swishing closed at the triumphant finale, with that little coda bringing things to a serene close. This will be my fourth purchase of the score (the original Arista LP, the Japanese SLC CD, the first Intrada CD of the album, and now this definitive edition) and I am only too happy to do so. Superlative Williams coming at the end of that wondrous, punchy, fantasy/blockbuster run of his (mid-70s to mid-80s). To me, he never seemed quite the same after this score, brilliant as the following year's scores were (Empire of the Sun, Witches of Eastwick and on)
