I had the Earthquake soundtrack before it got ruined by water damage. It was around the time of Star Wars that I noticed that Star Wars, Jaws, and Earthquake had John Williams in common.
John Williams was The Maestro of Disasters before Jaws and Star Wars made him cemented his fame in Hollywood.bryan4999 said:I actually bought the soundtrack LP for the express purpose of having that artwork. The side benefit was gaining a huge appreciation for John Williams, a year before JAWS made him a legend. That score still gets a play in my house now and then. It was on CD very briefly.
I would love to experience that feeling while watching Earthquake. Too bad they did away with Senseround though.bujaki said:My wife and I saw Earthquake during its first run at the Ziegfeld in NY. We were expecting so much more from the SenSurround experience. Turns out that it was the same physical and auditory experience as standing on the downtown platform of the Eighth Avenue subway station at 96th Street!
I guess I can understand his disappointment. How hard would it have been for Universal to at least add a trailer, I cannot imagine the cost of that to be much of anything for them, since it was on the laserdisc and dvd......but they also could have added the television footage, and perhaps whatever else was in their vault. Midway has some decent extras, and that didn't gross half of what Earthquake did, which by the way is the one that won several special Academy Awards, one for sound and a special award for Sensurround.TonyD said:To bad for you Francis.The movie is still there buy you won't buy it because of some extras that aren't?I'll be thrilled to have it again in my collection on bluray.
