LIMITED EDITION RE-ISSUE (2-CD SET)
Music by John Williams


Limited Edition of 5000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $29.98
STARTS SHIPPING AUGUST 26


In celebration of John Williams’ 90th birthday and the classic film E.T.’s 40th anniversary, La-La Land Records, Universal Music Group, Universal Studios and Amblin Entertainment proudly present a 2-CD reissue of our restored, remastered re-issue of legendary composer John Williams’ (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, JURASSIC PARK) iconic, original motion picture score to the beloved 1982 classic feature film, E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, starring Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore and Dee Wallace, and directed by Steven Spielberg. The incomparable magic of this immortal Academy Award-winning John Williams score – teeming with wonder, brimming with adventure, enlightening with drama, bursting with joy, overflowing with love – is showcased here within a deluxe, composer-approved presentation that restores and remasters the original film score, and additionally serves up a first-time remaster of the Grammy-winning 1982 soundtrack album, as well as bonus tracks that include never-before-released alternate cues, the original music to Universal Studios’ theme park attraction “The E.T. Adventure,” and more! Produced by Mike Matessino and Bruce Botnick and mixed and mastered in hi-resolution from original studio vault elements, this special 2-CD release is limited to 5000 units and features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Matessino, as well as celestially wondrous package design by Jim Titus including new cover art approved by the director. A must for cinema fans of all ages – this is, without question, a release to phone home about!

NOTE: Aside from the “40th Anniversary” notation and slight revisions to the CD’s front cover, this re-issue utilizes the same master and overall content as our previous 35th Anniversary 2-CD release.

MV just clarified on the CE3K page:

It means absolutely nothing. Jim, who designed it, was looking for images that were iconic and that were in flight.

The original poster, who does not work nor represent La La Land Records in any way, copied and pasted incorrectly.

In the mailer sent out last night JUST ARRIVED AND BACK IN STOCK line applied to The disaster set and other titles which were listed below that line

Yeah, I know that it applies to the Close Encounters set. I was mainly hanging a boot in the smartass who thought it was being cute.

I did as well! By the way, somewhere in my basement is the worn out copy of the Michael Jackson “Storybook” soundtrack to ET…that has never been issued in digital format.

The cover artwork is just genius. Kudos to Jim Titus. But to really admire the artwork is to behold the LLL Vinyl set(OOP). Its breathtaking.

Just caught the IMAX Screening of this last night. I remember seeing it in 82 as a child but hadn't seen it since. Some great harp work in this score. Do we know who played piano for the end credits?

Looking forward to receiving my Close Encounters/E.T. package from LL-Land in a week or two...

Also saw a poster for a 1 week IMAX Screening of Jaws over Labor Day... have to check that one out as well...

Ralph Grierson, who did all the piano/keyboard work in the entire score.

This is my favorite LLL expansion by far. If you'd have asked before this release (well, the original LLL expansion which is musically identical), I'd have said Superman or Jurassic Park or Close Encounters. My audio player reveals that I've played this FAR more times since its release than any other title in my library. It's simply marvelous.

Also - I happened to catch the film in IMAX while out of town for work last week. I'd never had the opportunity to see it on the big screen. I can't recommend it highly enough. It looks gorgeous.

If for some reason anyone is on the fence about this release, buy it. Immediately.
