MV said the rights were a complete mess. So if this one is coming, it's probably taken years to sort out. I thought that was "The Reivers." (Not that it couldn't be both.)    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 8:04 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Interesting point nerfT. I already had his classic Americana scores on LP (Reivers, Cowboys, Missouri Breaks) and cassette taped from the TV (Conrack, Tom Sawyer, Man Who Loved Cat Dancing) when this score came out, so hearing a return to that joyous sound, after his winning streak on monster blockbusters and dark gothic outings was a feeling to be cherished. The slightly jazzy/bluesy Love Theme was the bit I liked least (at first), but all the other tracks like Pony Ride, Ancestral Home, Farm To Factory etc were great to my ears (I agree the Tractor Scene track is pretty dull - it also went pretty much unused in the film). While the film is largely forgotten, the music is still remembered (in our house at least).    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 8:13 AM     By:   jenkwombat   (Member) I'd definitely be in for a re-issue of "The River". That said, the title of this thread is making me hungry for some reason.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 8:28 AM     By:   ryanpaquet   (Member) I'm Canadian. That's definitely not how we spell it. Restauration is French for restoration.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 8:29 AM     By:   Rameau   (Member) All these John Williams MCA albums that Varese released on CD (this, Dracula, Earthquake, The Eiger Sanction & maybe a few others), they've never had a second release, there must be an answer to this mystery, after all, we're talking John Williams.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 9:12 AM     By:   Ron Pulliam   (Member) Hmm....I think the existing CD sounds fine. We all know that's what you think, Thor. You needn't waste keystrokes over it.    Posted:   Jan 17, 2017 - 9:41 AM     By:   litefoot   (Member) I'm a bit surprised no label has reissued this one, but I'm sure there's a good reason for that.

I *did* think it was the Reivers... I assumed the original poster had misspelt the film title! Oops. I'd never heard of 'The River' until I googled it just now. How have I never heard of this film or that it's in the Williams pantheon?! An embarrassing mistake on my part. You learn something new every day....    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 4:02 PM     By:   afn   (Member) When will we finally see this? Count me in for an expanded and and sonically better-than-ever sounding reissue! And I would just love reading something like "Taken from the original first generation 2'' 24-track mastertapes vaulted in pristine condition at Universal. Remixed by Mike Matessino, new comprehensive liner notes...etc." Oh boy, would this sound good.... (The same, if not more, goes for BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, a terrible-sounding CD with an even more terrible and inexcusable constant high pitched sound in the background at least in some tracks! (Well, there are only 25 minutes or so on the CD anyway).    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 5:28 PM     By:   BornOfAJackal   (Member) I want this, too. I hope the Universal fire didn't claim this one.    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 8:31 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Take it to Burger King.    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 8:32 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Hmm....I think the existing CD sounds fine. We all know that's what you think, Thor. You needn't waste keystrokes over it. Lol! Come back,Ron!    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 8:45 PM     By:   Traveling Matt   (Member) If I'm ever resurrected someday I hope my papers read, "remixed by Mike Matessino from studio elements vaulted in pristine condition."    Posted:   Mar 11, 2019 - 8:54 PM     By:   Paul MacLean   (Member) When I was a kid my mom ordered a pizza and sent me to pick it up. Since the pizza joint was next to a record store, I popped in for a second and found that they had the new John Williams soundtrack from The River. But I did not have enough money of my own to afford it, so I filched some of the change from the pizza money my mom gave me so I could. My mom was also a fan of John Williams so I hoped she'd be pleased. She wasn't.     General Discussion: In need for a restoration : The River (Williams)    << < 1 2  >   Go to page:  1 2   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
