Interesting. These releases have the album presentations starting first and the film score presentations second. Was this due to something specific for these releases, or is this an overall change moving forward with releases that contain both presentations?

We were asked on Danny Elfman releases to put the album first. We did this on Spider-Man, Mission: Impossible and Darkman. I can't recall if there were others. We're happy to respect those wishes. His albums are well crafted.

On Jurassic Park III we had some discussion about this. The score is 85 minutes with a 10 minute final track. Did it make sense to put 75 minutes on disc 1 and then a single track on disc 2? We opted not to do this. We were going to include the album regardless, because of the unique takes and assembly and it made the most sense to present it this way.

Now that I think about it, we did this on "The Diary of Anne Frank" which allowed disc 1 to end with the ending of part 1 of the film. That worked out well.

In the Digital World, we can reorganize it anyway we want without regards to disk length.

These releases are going to be excellent from what I can see, and I'm really looking forward to listening.

I’m in for Spidey 2 and Jurassic 3.

I’m in for all three. Not familiar with Jurassic 3 except for a surreal - and hilarious - scene where a dinosaur calls out the main character’s name.

Amazing releases! I see many are assuming this is the BF release for 2024. I have a feeling that there will be a 'real' BF announcement, of further titles that will blow our minds! At least I hope this is the case.

More Bond announcements coming soon, according to LLL.

Where and when was this info given?


Facebook, according to Barry fan Stephen.

The Godfather Part 2! Might be worth a separate thread, for us Europeans that don't know what is Black Friday.

for us Europeans that don't know what is Black Friday.

The Friday after American Thanksgiving is the traditional start of the Christmas shopping season in the U.S., with massive sales and promotions. It's called "Black Friday" because supposedly the sales send many companies "into the black" (i.e., into profitability).

Makes sense that there are no Bond releases along with the Black Friday batch. Otherwise, tons of packages would have been submitted to the embargo. Nicely played LaLa Land.

No staying up until midnight on Thanksgiving night to check out the new titles?

Bless you!

Amazing! I ordered Spider-Man 2 and The Godfather Part II as quickly as I could get my credit card out.

The "part one" editions of both that LLL put out two years ago are stunning, and I'm still listening to them regularly. I find these two sequel scores to each be superior to the their preceding scores, and I can't wait to get 'em.

I'm really happy that they included the non-Elfman cues in Spider-Man 2. Although I'm sure it is painful and possibly humiliating to Elfman to have had Christopher Young, John Debney and Richard Wagner come in and replace his music (ESPECIALLY so in Wagner's case), having those tracks in here is the right thing to do, and I'm happy that LLL sprung for those recordings.

SF and fantasy author Brandon Sanderson also brough forward traditional Black Friday sales this year. The reason being, he wanted his staff to not be super busy and have some times off during a holiday period.

Good Lord, La-La Land, what's the matter with you? You think I'm made out of money, for cryin' out loud? I'm afraid this bunch is a hat-trick, so I have to get them all.

The reason Wagner is credited is because of the famous wedding march heard for the Jameson wedding where Mary Jane doesn't show up. The score was a blend of traditional organs mixed with the orchestral version that blends into the score. Wagner's music is basically source and didn't replace Elfman.
