Okay guys - I had the original Lp and made a pretty darn good CDR from it - is the CD really worth getting? Is it one of those great vinyl-source remasters where you can't even tell it's from vinyl - at least not easily? If so - I'll buy it. I've been thinking of getting it for a long time.
I also was fortunate enough to get an LP within a year of the film's release (already a JW fan and thought this score was so "different" from previous work) and made a CDR from it a few years ago. This CD sounds better than mine - while not sounding like orginal source material, I think they did an excellent job.
Of course we have the CD of the score for almost seven years now but I had never seen the film before. At last I did - and in a theater (I catched a screening at the Athens International Film Festival).
What a brilliant piece of filmmaking! What an ingenious piece of filmscoring!
This is easily one of the happiest marriages of music and images (pardon the cheap pun) in JW's career. Were it not for the epics we all know and love, I'd put this one on the very top of my JW list! It gets top marks for originality and creativity anyway - Altman is at the top of his game here (aided by a magnificent Susannah York and the great Vilmos Zsigmond's dreamy cinematography) but without Williams "Images" would not have been the same haunting filmic experience - one of the best of the '70s actually and IMHO Altman's greatest achievement alongside "Short Cuts" and "Nashville".
I urge anyone who hasn't already to see this film and marvel at Williams's masterpiece!...

I was going to go to the same screening, although I have the film on DVD and have seen it, but I saw they were screening the DVD!!!! Not a 35mm print! Anyway, the film is indeed superb and I'm looking forward to a Bluray release!

And thank God they screened the DVD 'cause the "Nashville" print a day after was crappy as hell... Yes, we need a Blu-ray of this yesterday!
Yes, a nice back cover. Any particular reason for posting it now?
I'm updating a number of older threads with image files on the reverse sides of albums because a lot of websites have only the front covers. (some of these threads may not even have any images from the album)
I do similar posts when an Intrada title is slated for deletion to get other FSM members interested in the album before it's gone.
