Expanded or the DVD? I thought the CD was already out. I am buying the DVD tomorrow. I'll be at the store before it opens, so I can get as many viewings in all day long as I possibly can. But if the expanded score comes out tomorrow also, I guess I'll buy it as well.Either way, tomorrow isn't just August 11 . . . it's "the day Jaws attacks!"

I already have it!
For some reason, it's been available in Austria for two weeks already. Great album! But the official internation release date is tomorrow, together with the DVD - which I ordered online, so I'll have it next week. Same goes for Wrath of Khan, which will also be released on DVD tomorrow. Can't wait!NP: Anton Bruckner: Symphony #8 (Kölner Rundfunk-Sinfonie-Orchester/Günter Wand)

We dont get the DVD here in the U.K. until the 24th of July...I think the CD is the 18th! Anyway after 3 weeks of uninteresting DVD releases in the U.K. (in my opinion) on the 24th we get released the following.... Jaws, Goldfinger, Sleepy Hollow. Well, guess whose gonna be broke by the 25th?
Roll on end of the month!! Gae

Gae - The DVD of Sleepy Hollow is absolutely fantastic. Paramount really surprised me, considering how lackluster the majority of their other DVDs when it comes to bonus festures. You shall not be disappointed.

Well once again our stupid cd stores are stocked with garbage like THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II, but no JAWS, so I had to drive an hour to Austin and finally found it in a Best Buy after looking in 4 other stores. What can I say I need my score fix. I have no problem with the sequencing of cues, it gives you a break from the Shark theme since alot of the early cues use it heavily. It's great to hear how Williams arranges the Shark theme to sound a little different each time it is played (much like he did with The Imperial March in TESB). For those of you who have the score does your track 8 (Father and Son) sound like someone stuck one of the mic's in the wind? It has some interference on my disc. It sounds like the master tape had some damage.

Mark,
I am ever so upset at the record stores around our area. Each of the three stores got only ONE COPY! Of the three, I bought two. This is why it's so frustrating to work at one of these stores, as I had 6 copies pre-ordered for Tuesday, and what do they send us----ONE ****ING COPY! The computer told us (me) that 6 copies were "in transit". Imagine my surprise.......anyway, Trans World sucks. Please, whatever you do, don't EVER get things off of TWEC.com. Piece of junk website. Anyway, I'm very tired, and I think I might go to bed.Shaun

Dantoris, you should have known that Star Wars was written by Bill Conti just from the way he handles the funkadelic disco cues.

Dude, Conti's style is printed on that score just the way that Neil Young's searing guitar solos define the voice of Age of Innocence.That wah-wah guitar in Rozsa's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid is one of the funkiest pieces I've ever heard.
NP - Starship Troopers rejected score by Giorgio Moroder...

JEC, are you pulling our plonkers about "Saturday Night Fever" by Rozsa??
I can hardly imagine the maestro getting it on down on the disco floor, can you? Am I missing some "in" joke on this post or did Dr. Rozsa have a second childhood in his 70th year and finally decided after spending his entire career writing what he believed to be wasted "classic" orchestral scores his true vocation at last could be explored here with the "funky sounds of the disco beat"!!??
Go Rozsa, go...get on down now, get on down and strutt your funky stuff oh yo!
