1 CENT CD: 'John Williams Jaws' Varese Sarabande RARE Condition of CD: Mint Condition! One review reads 'Joel McNeely's presentation with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra can't go wrong inasmuch as it celebrates one of the finest, textured, and most recognized scores in the history of popular film. It is curious that it comes on the heals of another pressing of this music not two months earlier, which was released in conjunction with the DVD and remastered video release of the film. Both of these albumns contain significantly more music than the original motion picture soundtrack which has been available for years. However I think the recent "Special Edition" version which offers Williams' compilation in sequential order is superior, packing more punch than McNeely's. While the music still plumbs the depths of fear, soars in seafaring adventure and brings the characters to life in all their thematic brilliance, true fans of this score will hear a slightly different interpretation of this music. "Montage", which on Williams' collection is called "Tourists on the Menu" seems slower and more hollow, missing the whimsical commentary on summer folk blindly readying themselves for summertime beaching. Indeed, many of the tracks simply sound thinner or a slight bit more heavyhanded, either missing some of the humor of the music or skipping the pathos. McNeely's Superman score had a similar problem, missing some of the richness of the music one may be used to hearing in the film. In that case, however, he was offering cues which had not been previously available to listeners. With very little exception (a sequence dropped from the autopsy scene?) T is little new material , especially since the new Williams score has added 20 minutes to the old soundtrack release.I am glad, in a way, that he is choosing to give new readings to the scores of these types of popular films, but I would first and foremost recommend a listening to John Williams' own recordings of this music. Oddly, both albumns offer liner notes which malign the original soundtrack for being rearranged to compose a suite of the film's music rather than a telling of the story. In my opinion, the original albumn still delivers the best of the score in the best format. These new releases add many interesting musical cues which may be only notable for folks who want to investigate this score to death. '.
