50 Years Ago, ‘Jaws’ Took a Bite Out of the Billboard Charts & Earned Composer John Williams a Boatload of Awards
'Jaws' made a star of composer John Williams, bringing him his first Grammy, Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards and his second Oscar.
Known for its instantly recognizable two-note “Main Title (Theme From Jaws),” Williams’ score was first heard by audiences when the Universal Pictures film opened in theaters on June 20, 1975. To mark the 50th anniversary, on June 20, UMe released a limited-edition “Blood in the Water” splatter vinyl of Jaws (Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). This limited-edition run has real water sealed and pressed between two translucent vinyl discs, as well as new stereo mixes approved by Williams.
