This totally unexpected announcement actually brought tears to my eyes -- I am such a wuss....
But WWBG is one of those scores I thought was lost forever. Wow. Thank you. Wow again.

Many thanks FSM for this one, will be treasured.

We live in Scoreland - the land of never-ending miracles!!! Deal with it.
Yes, Lukas is into fairy tale wish fulfillment. Great news.

So did Harline write any original themes for this score? Because from the FSM description it sounds like he didn't.

Gee, I always wanted that big yellow box set when I was a tadpole, never managed to get one. Now I'll have all of the music and much more. (Too bad FSM didn't reproduce the book and make a big yellow box set out of it!) The Leigh Harline releases from Intrada and FSM are greatly appreciated. So far I've bought them all, and my order's already in for this one. Many thanks to Lukas and FSM for this wonderful, and really unexpected, treasure!
I, too, always wanted that yellow box - to match the gold, light blue and dark blue ones that were already on my shelves (BEN-HUR, KING OF KINGS and MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY), but when I finally got it many years later (cheaply, in a cut-out bin), I was very disappointed. It's a children's album with narration and the music - such as it is - is a re-arrangement with virtually nothing of Harline's contribution to the score. When Lukas told me the master tapes were lost I was almost relieved! But at least he did include the notes from that album, as well as the blurb on the music from the hard-cover souvenir book (http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/notes/brothers_grimm_LP.html) for all us nostalgia buffs. And Joe's designs in the booklet incorporate some of the souvenir book's graphics (the cute little "subject headings")!

The complete masters have been at the studio since the film was made -- however, they were on the unique Cinerama format which is a little more complicated than, say, just finding a Phillips screwdriver. Fortunately in recent years the complete Cinerama masters were transferred by Chace in Burbank and Neil Bulk has done the extensive assembly work to prep the six- and seven-track masters digitally for release. Seriously, the stuff went on forever.

Did the Rhino 2-CD release of HOW THE WEST WAS WON (the film was released in CINERAMA about the same time of BROTHERS GRIMM) go through the same extensive digital assembly prep work as BROTHERS GRIMM?
