I hope it will give you the idea to dig into John Williams's huge and complex discography! There's a lot to explore!
Émanuel, you might want to check out Markus Hable's website — he has been collecting and chronicling maestro Williams' work for 16 years at his own website (see below). Good luck.
http://www.jw-collection.de
I know Markus website very well, it helped me a lot constructing my discography (along with many other sources). But Markus website's is more a fan site than a real discography (containing CD-R, bootlegs, not always the right original album titles, not listing the mono/stereo reissues, you know...). In the case of John Williams we needed 1) all the complete U.S. original discography entries, 2) a well-organized discography worthy of the name and 3) all the information covering all the aspects of JW's career at one single place.
It was a challenge, trust me, now that it's done! But Markus's website remains essential and it's complementary to mine I would say.
- Émanuel

Albums I'd most like to see reissued on CD: the Manne/Gershwin album, the Jerry Fielding albums, the Porgy and Bess album (Broadway Cast arr. by Williams), and the Pete Candoli albums.
