One of the finest achievements in film music and quite possibly the most iconic soundtrack of all time, John Williams’ score to JAWS is an absolute essential for collectors. While the Grammy® -winning 1975 MCA album was a re-recording, this double vinyl set presents the entire Academy Award®-winning score as composed and recorded for the actual film.
For the film’s 50th Anniversary, Mike Matessino restored and remastered the music with a brand new high-resolution transfer from the original studio elements to create the definitive release of the JAWS score, approved by maestro John Williams himself.
JAWS – Original Motion Picture Score - 50th Anniversary Edition 2xLP features art direction and packaging design for Mondo by Alan Hynes, with design direction by Nolan Fleming and liner notes by 50th Anniversary Reissue Producer Mike Matessino.

For those not interested in vinyl records and prefer music released on Compact Discs

Later this year, Intrada Records will release a 50th anniversaey special edition a new set on CD that features both of Matessino's remixes of the score and soundtrack, along with rare and previously unreleased material

Details and release date TBA

Mike Matessino
As most of you know, there are TWO recordings of John Williams’ indelible music for Steven Spielberg’s classic… the Academy Award-winning “Original Motion Picture Score,” coming from Back Lot Music and Universal Studios, and the separately made album recording: the GRAMMY-winning “Music From the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack,” coming from Universal Music Enterprises and Geffen Records/Interscope.

It was my privilege to undertake the restoration, remixing and remastering of both recordings.

YES, the first generation multi-track of the album recording was located.
YES, there will be a “Special Edition” CD release from Intrada coming soon that will present both recordings and feature previously unreleased tracks.

More news and updates to come.
