I consider myself a John Williams completist. I've been listening to his music since I was a child watching Gilligan's Island and Lost In Space, and I now have every album of his ... I think. Still waiting for a Gilligan release!

I've got virtually all of his releases- there may be a few newer ones I havn't picked up.

Anyway, it's tougher being a Goldsmith completist out of sheer volume. Williams isn't that difficult.

I did the completist thing with a few composers and ended up with lots of CDs I didn't like. I don't know how you guys can afford it and have the time to listen to it all Actually, I have only done that with two composers- Bernard Herrmann and Goldsmith.

I'm a Williams completist for film scores, don't own any of his concert works. I think I have pretty much all of them. (With minor, asterisk-style exceptions like "Yes, Giorgio" and "Valley of the Dolls") I only just decided to expand beyond films to TV after getting the various FSM Williams TV scores at Xmas, so the Irwin Allen TV show albums go onto the wish list, but they're expensive and tough to find. And I have to admit, I don't have the fire for finding them that I do for, say, older Desplat albums right now.

John Williams is (as with most composers) a hit-and-miss proposition for me, and I'm not that much of a diehard fan of his. The only two composers I've intentionally set out to be a completist are Ottorino Respighi and John Adams. Purely by accident, though, I think I have everything by Debbie Wiseman and Alexandre Desplat which has been commercially released - and almost there (just the odd title or two missing) for Richard Band, David Shire, Bruce Broughton and Laurence Rosenthal. By some act of confluence, I also have nearly every title (all save one) ever released by La-La-Land. None of this wasn't intentional - it just kind of happened. Which one? I gottsta know! MV
