I would have sworn that that had been done already, but I guess not.
Sony Classics released their Williams/Boston Pops box set a couple of years ago.
Is that a different set of music? I saw this list but I'm trying to make sense of it:
Non-Philips:
1980 Pops in Space
1980 Pops on the March
1981 That's Entertainment
1981 We Wish You A Merry Christmas

1982 Aisle Seat
1983 Out of This World
1984 On Stage

I'm guessing these will not be in actual jewel cases each as that would be one LONG box, probably win skinnier sleeves, but I'll probably need to get it

These sorts of classical label box set reissues are usually quite affordable, actually. I wouldn't be surprised if this 21 CD set ended up being $50-80. I'll be surprised if it's over $100.

Jurassic, I don't know where you got your list but all the titles you have listed as "Non Phillips" were definitely released on the Phillips Classics label.
Phillips (now Decca) lost the John Williams & the Boston Pops contract to Sony around 1990. The Sony Boston Pops releases are included in "John Williams, Conductor." The contract seemed to follow Williams rather than the Pops organization.
Ah, thank you!
The list I had posted was from jwfan, so I think there was some misunderstanding.
If I’m understanding you correctly, the “John Williams, Conductor” set covers the later half of Williams’ tenure with the Boston Pops, and this apparently forthcoming “Philips” set will cover the earlier half of his tenure. Since I’ve always been confused by these works, it sounds like getting both will cover all of his Pops music?
