THE BAD SEED: LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1437
Music by Alex North
Limited Edition of 2500 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

STARTS SHIPPING OCT. 20

La-La Land Records, Warner Bros. and Sony Music proudly present the world premiere official CD release of the original motion picture score to the 1956 classic feature film chiller THE BAD SEED, starring Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack and Henry Jones, and directed by Mervyn LeRoy. Legendary composer Alex North (A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, THE ROSE TATOO, DRAGONSLAYER) expertly crafts a heady mix of heart-melting lyricism and sharp-edged dissonance, creating a musical masterwork that escalates all the tension and drama within this acclaimed tale of lethal evil lurking within a seemingly perfect child. Produced by Neil S. Bulk and Didier C. Deutsch, and mastered by Mike Piacentini, this special release marks the first time the BAD SEED score has been officially issued on CD. The original, remastered LP program has been augmented with additional tracks. Writer Frank K. DeWald takes you behind the film and its score with his in-depth, exclusive liner notes and Dan Goldwasser’s sharp art design completes this thoughtful release of a classic work from a master composer. Limited to 2500 units.

WOW! Finally a vintage Halloween surprise!
I wonder how the content will compare to the 55 minute Soundtrack Library version which seemed more complete than conventional releases.

The original RCA LP album was about 35 minutes. Hopefully the extras will bring it up to at least 55.I'm looking forward to this one!

The movie is excellent, if a little stage bound. I do wish the original stage ending was kept, its far creepier than the film version.

I have the Tsunami but will check the samples. There are so few US releases of interest this year that I can certainly afford an upgrade!

Not that this is a sales argument - but where are the "missing" fifteen minutes? Can anybody chime in who is more familiar with this title?

I know nothing of the earlier release, but I think the key is what they said in the announcement in the first post: "We also included a handful of bonus tracks of additional score cues that we were able to locate in the WB archives."

You answered your own question. MISSING. M-I-S-S-I-N-G. Missing, as in unable to locate. Not found. Kaput. Gone. Bye Bye.

It is actually a bit more than 15 minutes as the Soundtrack Library CD posted above via Youtube omitted the famous Main Title which was a bit ridiculous. Also the first track on that boot is not quite complete and in comparison wiith the film about one minute at the beginning is probably missing. On the LLL CD this should now be track 12 "The Locket" (film version).

One of the GREAT scores. I hoped for new cover art. Never liked that art. It dates back to the original RCA lp. But, very glad to see this released.

If the boot's source is missing, why not utilize the boot itself? This isnt an album-only release if LLL augmented it with other tracks.
