I hooked up my record player again today and was spinning some old albums.

God I love this soundtrack, I used to sit by our old stereo and watch ETs head spin.

Sounds corny but this LP always brings me to tears...

just try to imagine the "bycicle through the moon" scene without the music...

E.T. just would be nothing without the wonderful music of John Williams

Wait a minute I'm lost :redface:

I thought it was MJ that sang the soundtrack...

nope, its an instrumental

MJ did some promotional stuff with ET

Tom said:

He did the ET Storybook with 'Someone In The Dark' on it. It got deleted after being out for less than a year because of some contractual problems.

Ellie said:

I have the sheet music for a player piano...it's a beautiful score.

o0o thanks

Someone In The Dark is a bootiful song!

I never knew it was off ET though.

sawah said:

E.T.'s in the song he says "Thank you" or "I'll Be Right Here" depending on which version you're listening to.

BTW John Willians is a genius! E.T., Star Wars, Jaws, Superman, Indiana Jones etc that's just the tip of the iceberg.This guy makes you feel a movie.

The Michael Jackson 'E.T.' storybook/album is now a rare collector's item that's not very easy to find.I remember seeing it in a record store in 1982,around the same time that 'Thriller' came out.If I had known that it would soon be deleted because of contractual problems,I would have bought it immediately.

are you saying that even as a lil kid, you thought and talked like Casey Kassem?

Ellie said:

You were able to get the album & poster thru an offer from ET cereal. That's how I got mine. It was not in any special packaging tho...just a blue sleeve.

I only got it a couple of years ago in a collector's store. It's all mint condition too.

How much is it worth then?

I've seen a couple of them on Ebay

About $100 I think. I only paid £70 for it.

o0o wow Ellie, that's good!

I bought the cassette version that came in a box, with poster and book for £5 in a sale at HMV in Hull in 1985/6.

bargain.

humph *green*

I bought a mint copy on vinyl, poster included about 2 months ago for just £28
