WHERE'S WALTER?
RELEASE #1
THE ‘BURBS: EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1615
Music by Jerry Goldsmith
Limited Edition of 1500 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $21.98
ORDERS BEGIN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29 2022 AT 12 PM PST
La-La Land Records and Universal Pictures proudly present a remastered and expanded CD re-issue of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith’s (PLANET OF THE APES, THE OMEN, GREMLINS) original motion picture score to the 1989 big screen cult comedy THE ‘BURBS, starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern and Carrie Fisher, and directed by Joe Dante. Continuing an exciting collaboration with filmmaker Joe Dante that launched with TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE and blossomed with GREMLINS, EXPLORERS and INNER SPACE, composer Jerry Goldsmith unleashed another wildly creative and notable score for the director’s hilarious, knowing suburban romp, THE ’BURBS. Goldsmith expertly balances the film’s rambunctious comedy, dark satire, suspense, action - and its heart too - with a bold orchestral work that sounds better than ever in this remastered and expanded presentation.
Produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk, the original 2” analog scoring masters featuring Bruce Botnick’s original 3-track mixes have been newly transferred in high-resolution and meticulously edited to match the performances as selected for the film. Mastered by Matessino, this expanded assembly also includes additional bonus tracks and runs more than 16 minutes longer than any previous release. The spirited art design is by Dan Goldwasser and the exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond and include new interview comments from director Joe Dante and film editor Marshall Harvey. This is a limited edition release of 1500 units.

This is so exciting! I love this score and listen to it quite a bit and this release really looks like it gives a comprehensive presentation. I foolishly sold my Deluxe Edition a few years back and have regretted it ever since, especially with the prices on the secondary market being just insane. I always wondered if this would ever get any more attention.
This is such a solid batch for LLL and this release is particular is a really welcome surprise.

Neil, on the 'before you ask' front, which would now be after, it looks like the majority of the new stuff is in the additionals area. Track differences in the film mix seem to be with only these two, La-La left, Varese right:
(+:15-ish) 19. Solid Floors / Ask Him [1:39] vs. 19. Ask Him [1:24]
( -:50-ish) 25. Home Furnace [:51] vs. 25. Home Furnace [1:44]
I can believe 15 seconds just got left off a previous track (19), and that 50-ish seconds didn't belong where they were in the earlier Home Furnace track, but nothing obvious jumps out at me from the alt.s which might've been properly separated out from it. Do you know where the rest of that Home Furnace bit went? Or is there some ong ago known typo on varese's disc that I've forgotten? I feel like I'll smack my forehead when you explain it, but it's eluding me.

"Solid Floors" is previously unreleased.
The previous "Home Furnace" was really a short version of "No Beer."
The previous "No Lights" was really "Home Furnace," meaning the actual "No Lights" debuts on this release.
It still hurts my head trying to keep all of this straight.

Smacking my forehead sympathetically for you, then. I guess the nice thing about a Möbius strip is that if you navigate it, you do actually see everything. With your name attached, I knew nothing would be missing, but the whats and wherefores were clearly out of my reach. Thanks for explaining your solving of the hassles which I'm sorry were present to handle.
