Funnily - the tape packaging contains a) Track Times b)Traditional message from Speilberg, both of which aren't on the CD.

Strange.

If anyone wants to know what Speilberg has to say, I can post it here.

Speilberg says -

John and I wanted to do a live-action motion picture fantasy. We explored a number of options: musical theatre, light opera, and most recently, a musical sans libretto.

Becuase of enormous pressure brought about by an early December '91 release for our latest collaboration, Hook, John began to write the score even before he saw the completed film. His only clue into the nature of what i was doing was the screenplay and the first 5 reels (47 minutes) of edited film. These were not the ideal working conditions we had experienced over the course of an 11-picture relationship. Yet, remarkably, John has invented music with so much magic, delicacy and simple beauty that the results have far outshone the process.

John Williams and I have enjoyed an exclusive collaboration since 1973. I have, over the span of 11 movies, found myself pen to paper trying to express myself about John Williams' music. I adore this score. And here is a rare instance where furthur words really fail me. The music needs to be experienced, not discussed. It will provide recurring memories of our movie Hook, or like any great ballet, suite or symphony, it will stand wholly on its own, sweeping you away to your own personal Neverland.
