Both received LP releases,
So I'm assuming that this CD will be all the score tracks from both albums with NO dialogue included.

Been hoping for ODD COUPLE to finally arrive on CD, good thing Varese heard me. wink

Hasn't this series thus far consisted of straight LP reissues?

Smart to post it in its own thread, given that that thread title is truncated.

Really incredible, I was hoping that you guys would release the vinyl versions, which would be discouraging for me because I already have those versions. However, I'm now amazed that you really released the original/film score (I was not very believing in that)! Wonderful, congratulations! Already purchased!

Wow. At first I misread and thought you'd found a rare Neil Simon demo vocal. I have the two LPs but this is a delicious bouncy couple of soundtracks from Hefti, so ordering.

And Jane Fonda at her sexiest. Love that life affirming cover.

It helps that I'm currently reading Neil Simon's Memoirs. His memories of the two plays & films are so detailed and humorous. Recommended reading for sure.

Hm... were the LPs re-recordings then? Does this CD include everything (music-wise) that was on the LPs?

This CD has the original score of the two films, it's not the LP versions (re-recordings).

Indeed. So to further answer the question regarding "The Odd Couple" (I don't have the "Barefoot" LP), there are pieces here that are shorter than they were on the LP, since Hefti had extrapolated longer pieces from the briefer film cues presented here. Obviously, I can't compare definitively from the track list and a couple of audio clips.

The release of the original tracks is certainly welcome, but it looks as if the LP versions will need to stay on the "unreleased" list.

For me this is wonderful to see the "old" Varese Sarabande label back in a big way. Not having the old LP's transfered to CD, but having Paramount vault material with the assistance of Lukas Kendall tells me Varese is a major label again. Thank you, Varese Sarabande.

Definitely a good sign Cody!

It says "With the help of Lukas Kendall, we researched the Paramount vaults for the original source tapes." Now technically, that doesn't mean they found them, but I would certainly think that they mean those are the source.

That's much more detail than we usually get from Varese about their sources.
