Glad to have helped in a TINY TINY way on this one from my friends at Intrada. I will say this, this expanded score plays great. Sometimes an expanded albums don't flow as well as the shorter older one, but this one with the extra tracks is a GREAT listen!

Expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack for flavorful Joe Dante movie!
Expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack for flavorful Joe Dante movie! Set during the tense 1962 Cuban missile crisis when the United States and the Soviet Union became poised for nuclear war, the Universal Picture put young stars Simon Fenton, Omri Katz, Lisa Jakub alongside grownups John Goodman, Cathy Moriarty and the premiere of new horror movie from sensational producer Laurence Woolsey (Goodman). Key West, Florida is setting for combination comedy, schlock horror... and frighteningly real period picture unfolding during crucial turning point in sixties Cold War history. Director Dante melds terrific brew of entertainment both fun and serious, with Woolsey movie-within-a-movie premiere sharing time with gentle youth love story. Both play out while world - especially those inhabitants of Key West - cope with possible annilhilation and nuclear fallout. Dante turns to his favorite composer, Jerry Goldsmith, to find delicate balance between comic producer and his premiere, tender moments of young teens discovering love and WWIII. Not a simple feat but Goldsmith delivers with perfection. Album of highlights originally saw release in 1993. Intrada CD now features entire Goldsmith score from pristine stereo mixes made by veteran engineer Bruce Botnick, vaulted at Universal. Several previously unreleased cues now appear but spotlight goes to "Mobilization". Here, composer takes a moment for his signature musical military muscle, with crisp trombone fanfare-figures answered by equally crisp French horn, trumpet responses, steady percussion underneath. Also included are handful of alternate cues. Film itself places unrelated song between last score cue ("Previews") and End Credits, composed as two separate pieces. Original album beautifully joins both cues into one 8-minute suite. Intrada release features both separate and combined presentations. Colorful package design by Kay Marshall, informative notes by John Takis complete nice presentation. Alexander Courage orchestrates, Jerry Goldsmith composes, conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!

Intrada announces an expanded edition of Jerry Goldsmith's score to the 1993 Universal film Matinee. The film is part of the lengthy collaboration between Goldsmith and director Joe Dante (Gremlins, Explorers, InnerSpace) and is the final soundtrack in that relationship in need of an expansion. The score is centered around two themes, a whimsical one for the filmmaker/showman Lawrence Woolsey and a charming, busy theme with a tinge of nostalgia for the character of Gene. But there's more in this theme-rich score, with a love theme infused with period flavor and based on Max Steiner's A Summer Place. Combined with action and suspense, Matinee provided Goldsmith with a wealthy opportunity to create a variety of colorful ideas.
This expanded edition increases the runtime of the score proper to 51 minutes, including the long sought-after cue "Mobilization," representing the sparse appearance of Goldsmith's military presence in the score as the onscreen Cuban missile crisis heats up. To produce this release, Intrada had access to the 48-track scoring sessions that contained the three-channel digital stereo mixes made for the film by Bruce Botnik – all in pristine, crisp and detailed sound.
In the film, filmmaker Lawrence Woolsey (John Goodman) barrels into Key West, his sights set on the historic Strand Theater which he plans to trick out with “Atomo-Vision” and “Rumble-Rama” for an advance screening of his latest opus, Mant! Meanwhile, local teen and Navy-brat Gene, a dedicated fan of genre flicks, and his colorful assortment of friends navigate growing up during a frightening crisis with Cuba just a stone's throw away. This includes Gene's crush Sherry who is stalked by her ex-boyfriend Harvey, as if things weren't complicated enough. But when Gene sees through Woolsey’s promotional tricks and offers to help, the impresario takes the boy under his wing and expounds upon the cathartic power of horror pictures—a lesson that is especially poignant since Gene’s father has been deployed to the front lines of Cuba. All roads converge during the premiere of Mant! when a lust-crazed Harvey, recruited into operating Woolsey’s theater wizardry while wearing a hokey ant costume, decides to take matters into his own hands—or claws, as the case may be.

For whatever reason, I have never owned or listened to this score, or seen the film. But I'm sold! Ordered!

I wouldn't bet on it. As somebody who saw every single episode, because hope sprang eternal, the series was the biggest let-down of my then-young life. Elaborate (at the time) production values (and scores) and big-name directors all for quarter-baked stories that Spielberg probably dreamed up as he brushed his teeth that morning. There are a few (very few) okay episodes, but "Boo!" is not among them.
I'll always be grateful for this show introducing Brad Bird to the world.
But that "Gather Ye Acorns" episode really rubbed me the wrong way. I believe it encouraged a world of scalpers.

Oh my lord. How on earth did I miss this announcement.
This is personally my most listened to Jerry after Star Trek The Motion Picture.
When I became a Dad this was a go to album to have on when the kids were playing in the house.
Today has just become a much better day.
