The DCC double-LP of Raiders of the Lost Ark (along with both original & Japanese pressings of the Star Wars Trilogy).

I'd say the 1997 RCA Victor double CD Star Wars sets.

Same for me.


I might have to add these too.

I got rid of my LP's about 25 years ago. It's going to have to be three CD's (& one I don't even have yet!).

1/ The two disc Giu La Testa (Morricone), my favourite Morricone soundtrack.

2/ The Last Valley (Barry), this was a favourite LP for so long.

3/ The two Flint LP recordings (Goldsmith), huge favourites, since the sixties, any time you like Intrada.

Star Trek The Original Series Soundtrack Collection. It trumps every other single release I ever had. Two years on and I still listen to it regularly. it is the crown jewel in my library.

For me it's the BERNARD HERRMANN AT 20TH CENTURY FOX set. That box has pride of place in my collection.

That probably would be mine if I'd actually managed to snag one! It just disappeared without any warning...

Aren't people kinda cheating with these box sets though? Let's see if I had to choose a single score CD...it might be Christopher Gordon's On the Beach. Surprising that I'm not picking a Goldsmith, I know, but he's my favorite composer and he was so prolific so it's just so much harder to choose.

For me it is "The Eiger Sanction". Probably no surprise when you see my FSM message board avatar. If I was forced to only choose one CD to take with me - this would be the one.

Just about every track is a joy to listen to. There is also a nice variety of styles of music on the CD.

Probably also helps that the last half of the movie is set in one of my favourite places - Switzerland - especially around the Eiger mountain. John Williams music makes you feel you up on that mountain. But happy to have that feeling in my armchair not actually clinging to the Eiger rock face. smile

"Top of the world" cue (when Clint was climbing in the US national park) also gives a similar feeling.

Hopefully one of these days one of the labels will reissue the score with remastered sound and more cues.

My most cherished LP was the Beatle's White Album. My mom bought one for me the minute they were available in the stores and gave it to me for Christmas. It survived several moves, endless playing and looked like new, including the original poster that came with it. It was lost in a house fire about 10 years but not before my kids got to listen to it. It represented a huge slice of my life and I am sad that it is gone. I could have replaced it several times but it wouldn't be the same.

Sorry if I am ot and it was supposed to be film scores.

Sorry for the loss. Glad your kids were able to share that with you.

My favorite (non-film score) album of all time!! Love every track, even the short, "silly" ones.

"Dear Prudence" and "Julia" are two of John Lennon's best, most beautiful songs, while "Mother Nature's Son", "Martha My Dear" and "Blackbird" are McCartney at the top of his game. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Long, Long, Long" show Harrison writing as he never had before....

smile

Anyway, my apologies to the OP as well if I went ot.

not favourite perhaps but most cherished, similar to tall guy but when i sold my LP collection to pay for a newer capri!!, i kept afew Lps i was proud of and couldnt part with.
original pressings of Guns for san sebastian, five man army, two mules (with the canyon pic), wild bunch in stereo and Stone killer. you just couldnt get them anywhere unless you managed to get in quick with an older collector who was selling and i outbid my rivals with money i couldnt afford at the time!

CDs? i dunno. i have a de masi western one signed by alessandroni and a ouatiw signed by edda so everything else i could pawn!!

when i sold of my lp's i kept the single Jan Hammer - Crocket's theme (i did not own a lot of lp's or singles. Cd's where already on the rise then).

THe first cd i bought was a single cd!! of John Williams and the Boston Pops. after that i had to wait for a few months untill my parents bought a cd-player.

i really like the special version of the Jabba the hutt theme on that one.

cd album is Return of the jedi (rso version, printed in West Germany!!), this one has the most playing time of all cd's in the collection.

For me the most cherished set was the DCC RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK and the Arista STAR WARS ANTHOLOGY set and both came together to me and I was blown away by that experience.

LP:

Either the mono "The Diary of Anne Frank" my mom found in a cutout bin and bought to surprise me (i.e., for no special occasion) or the mono "To Kill A Mockingbird" LP (my first store-bought film music album).

LP: Easy - my first soundtrack ever - the STAR WARS double album.

CD: Too difficult to determine. But the SUPERMAN box would certainly fight it out with the STAR TREK-THE MOTION PICTURE-three-CD-box.

The Bill Evans Trio- The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings, 1961 (3 CD set).

These recordings have been my favorites of any type of music for over twenty years and this box set gets everything.

As far as film scores go, nothing really comes to mind.

As much as I adore all my new Star Trek CDs and the Superman box the Arista Star Wars box set is going to be the one to beat.



Up there on the list:
TOS Box (of course)
Superman Box
Star Treks 1-6
The Black Hole (still!)
Journey to the Center of the Earth

I don’t have the actual LPs anymore, but I do still have my covers and liner notes for Star Wars.
