Chill, man! Sometimes they accidentally send a promo copy to a legit buyer!

Yeah, well, I'll still need a answer from them, not you, if there's picture artwork in the back tray its useless, ditto with hand numbered copies.

Hi MV!

Do you have any more releases with Waxwork Records coming up? Or any horror scores in general?


We don't "work" with waxwork. On occasion they release something on LP we didn't want to release. As for more horror, we have some titles planned.

Another question that I bring up all the time to various sources. Can it be possible for LLL to take a shot at individual Bond scores from the Brosnan era like GoldenEye? Are those held in politics like all the others?

And secondly, if one of the folks at LLL were to take a FSMer on a date, what soundtrack would you guys play to set the mood?


Would love to

Don't beat around the bush, Peter!

If one of the folks at LLL were to take a FSMer on a date, who would you choose and why?


Bond1965 because he makes us laugh

Some more questions have popped up in my head, so I thought, I'd ask them right here:

1. Any chance that any "Astrid Lindgren" related score might get an official release. My personal favorite is "Ronja Rövardotter" - it's just so absolutely gorgeous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Veh01-YWBTo

2. Is an official Slipstream release still out of the question?
I held out on buying it, hoping that the legal issues could get solved, but alas ... frown

3. What about "Requiem for a Dream" (Clint Mansell) or "Van Helsing" (Alan Silvestri).
Both are score I'm very much hoping for an expanded / remastered edition ...

4. Which score made you fall in love with soundtracks in the first place?

5. Which (future) score release would be the pinnacle of all your efforts?

smile


1. Sounds nice but never heard of it.
2. Not touching it. Not worth it
3. Great scores. Maybe some day
4. BATMAN 1989
5. MANIMAL

Bar hole Cuts, what department do these get vandalised at, who cuts them, & are they all cut before they leave LALA.

Are you a reviewer, composer, studio person, director, producer, or someone who worked on a project? If so, than you received a hole punch. A certain allotment of all our releases have hole punches in UPC codes and are reserved for promotional reasons. If you accidentally received one, then please email us at info@lalaland-ent.com. Every so often a promo gets mixed up with a retail copies.

We tried to, once again foiled by Jones. He is not a nice person.

5. MANIMAL


Manimal! I haven't seen that since I was six or seven years old. I remember loving it. Not sure I've even seen it mentioned on here before.

How did you and Matt Verboys meet?

Can you still remember the exact moment you decided to found La La Land Records?

You've said in the past that your Mission Impossible and Lost In Space TV boxsets didn't do so well. I gather from the Intrada forum that The Twilight Zone set hasn't done so well either. Putting aside the success of Trek and X-Files... has the extra amount of effort (and moolah?) involved in TV boxsets, combined with those results, discouraged you from planning future archive TV releases? (After Wonder Woman, Buffy and MacGyver come out, that is - titles that have probably been in the planning for a long time.) What I'm saying is - have we reached the point in this digital download world where non-Trek/XFiles titles are an increasingly hard sell?

Thanks a lot for your kind replies - much appreciated!
I've never heard of Manimal so far, but I'm sure to check it out now!

Pretty sure "Manimal" was a joke, as it was a go-to punchline in the mid-'80s. Not saying the music might not have been good (Alan Silvestri scored some), but I somehow doubt it would be the pinnacle for MV.

Is there anything that we fans could do about this situation?
Write kind e-mails and/or collect an insane amount of money to persuade him.
Start an online- ... well you know what, do anything to change the status quo.

Can't believe he'd prefers to let bootleggers make all the money with his wonderful music. frown
"Excalibur" and "Last of the Mohicans" were such important score that made me the score-fan I'm now.

MV, can you please be so kind and shed some light on the "Cliffhanger" miracle then?
Would be interesting to know why this release was possible after all - even twice!

Does Jones just want to do these himself on his label (at a slow pace that can be outrun by a snail) and gets annoyed being asked, or is he just not nice in general?

Much as I hate explaining somebody else's joke, I was imagining years of "When's 'Manimal' coming?" and "We know one of the next batch must be 'Manimal'," etc.

(Although, maybe LLL really is working on it, and I'm the fool.)

It was quite popular in the UK at the time.

So, quite the opposite in the USA then? Shame! No wonder it was cancelled.

Interesting. No, not popular here. It didn't help that it was scheduled against "Dallas." Still, it was widely ridiculed, and in the early 2000s, TV Guide ranked it 15th on their list of the 50 worst shows of all time.

Look at where his career ended up. He's the only composer I've ever known to be (rumored) tossed off a movie lot and spoken rather poorly by those in the industry. Shame too because he was a helluva composer

I'm going to jump into this thread. I'm enjoying it so much, and MV is being so generous with his info. I have 3 grails left, and I wonder of there are any chances: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN (Filmation 1966) by John Marion, GILLIGAN'S ISLAND by Johnny Williams, Frank Comstock, Gerald Fried, and YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, by John Morris.

Have any of those ever been looked at or considered?

Mike
