The 1977 sci-fi spectacular from writer/director Steven Spielberg, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Again maestro composer and associate John Williams writes one of his most engrossing and richly dynamic scores from that era. Nominated for an oscar in 1977, but losing to himself to Star Wars! This 2CD special edition from LS Scores, comprises the entire score inc alternates and extended cues. The La La Land anniversary edition, which is now long out of print, has the same track listing, but with all new artwork and inlays. Fantastic!
