  "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story" on NatGeo. Two hours backstory
  and interesting trivia.

 

  I just saw that Intrada is releasing the digitally remastered complete
score
  to JAWS to commemorate its 50th anniversary. It'll be nice to have the
  original recording cleaned up and complete. (The soundtrack album released
 in
  the 70s only had about 60% of the music that was in the film.) The Royal
  Scottish Orchestra recorded the complete score about 5 years ago but their
  performance wasn't quite up to the same standard.

 
  Wasn't this the London Symphony or weren't they playing on Hollywood
  soundtracks yet?

 
 A bit off topic, but did someone say something about wanting the Orville
 score?  I came across this the other day:
 
 https://lalalandrecords.com/search.php?search_query=orville

 
That may have been me, but I wasn't talking about the recordings, which I've
had for a while now. I was talking about the printed scores, the sheet music
used to make those recordings.
 
I'd also love to have the sheets to the original BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, which
seem to have fallen into a black hole somewhere.
 
But thanks anyway for looking out!

 
On a day when I woke up to 80F temps inside due to an air conditioner
that decided to stop working I decided to check on this while trying
to stay cool and found this:
 
Okay, this can't be what you wanted since it was way too easy to find
but here you go:

and for a low price:

No, those are just commercial or amateur arrangements of the Main Title. I
want the actual handwritten full orchestral scores that Bruce Broughton, John
Debney, and Joel McNeely used to make the recordings, which will never be
found on any commercial website.

I can usually get my hands on stuff like that with the access to studio
archives that I was given as part of my engraving job but some stuff seems to
be locked away somewhere or lost to time. THE ORVILLE scores and BATTLESTAR
GALACTICA are two examples. Howard Shore's score to SILENCE OF THE LAMBS is
another.
