Not odd for Batman 89. I prefer the mix of the earlier release for the Main Titles with the aggressive snare drums.

And for Die Hard, it's the 'Gun in Cheek' that uses the edited version from the film stem. I've tried recreating it myself with the new set, but she's a tough nut to crack. Now I am very curious as to how this set will compare.

I placed my order, which appears in my order list, but haven't any confirmation messages from La-La Land. I usually receive a notice from them when an order is placed.

Is it true that Randy Newman helps Williams composing for the End Credits ?

My HOOK copy shipped yesterday, I'm still waiting for MOMENT TO MOMENT, but I ordered that a few days later.

I really envy people who can do this. Ordering overseas makes it quite difficult and you have to make up your mind at the order moment. If you want to add anything afterwards, it's gonna be quite expensive.

Even in the US I would never do it like that. I always try to order to save on shipping (for film scores usually ordered from MovieMusic).

This is a very thematic score; and I am so grateful to get it in this – (unbelievable) – complete form!
WOW!
I never dared to dream about – finally getting to hear all the thematic contents of – Disc #3.

Thank You A Million; Billion; Zillion Times to:
Jason Le Blanc; Mike Matessino – and the entire team at – La La Land Records!

Obviously; I have already ordered two copies for myself!
No questions asked!

Let’s see now…
This rich score contains twelve themes?
Let me count them:
· 01: — ‘Piratetown’ Theme – (The music heard at the beginning of – ‘Presenting The Hook’)

· 02: — Hook’s Main Theme

· 03: — Peter Pan’s Theme – (The – ‘Prologue’ – Music)
· 04: — Childhood Theme – (It also Doubles As Granny Wendy’s Theme)

· 05: — Tootles Theme – (The last theme heard in the film – and the ‘End Credits’)
· 06: — When You’re Alone

· 07: — ‘Neverland Theme’ – (Best presentation of this theme; is the – ‘Exit Music’ – track)

· 08: — Tinkerbells Theme

· 09: — The Never Feast Theme – (Also Doubles As The Lost Boys Theme)

· 10: — The Lost Boy Chase – (I believe this theme is only heard once in the film)

· 11: — The Face Of Pan – (I believe this theme is only heard once in the film)

· 12: — You Are The Pan – (I believe this theme is only heard once in the film)

There could be more themes?

Can we also classify the – ‘Banning Back Home’ – track as a theme?
That music is also unique to the film; as it only appears once?

There is an alternate Peter Pan Theme as well…
Which is heard when Peter reveals himself to Captain Hook; and lands in front of him…
Or do we simply count that as part of the – ‘Peter Pan Theme’ (?)

Then you also have the ostinato which is also used as a theme on it’s own; which belongs to the – ‘Prologue’ – track as well…
With magnificent orchestrations as conducted by John Williams; and the sheer majesty of the themes neatly interwoven; this is one Holy Grail; I never suspected to get fully released!

I am blessed!
A reason to live!
Thank You So Much!

Another word of heartfelt thanks to the whole team who brought this score to us after six? seven? years of persistence and hard work.

Loving it, but "Remembering Childhood" on the OST and presented here is an incredible track.

Audio differences between 2 disc and 3 disc set please?

Audio differences between 2 disc and 3 disc set please?

The old 2-disc edition from 2012 was built from incomplete sources of varying quality, since the full scoring masters were inaccessible at the time. It lacked some overlays, film takes and unused material. Film stems were used to patch certain missing sections.

The new 3-disc edition has been transferred, rebuilt and remastered entirely from the original analog scoring masters (except for two song demos from a DAT). The difference compared to the old edition is more dramatic in some tracks than in others, but it's an improvement across the board!

Ha I almost wrote you directly to ask you about this two weeks ago, so hello!

So excited to give this a spin (along with Mask of Zorro and Sneakers, which I've never heard before). Can't believe the amount of music included here.

Really random question, but did anyone else notice the artwork on the CDs is slightly different than what's pictured? My CDs have a white outer rim vs the normal Jim Titus style artwork where you can see the silver of the CD like what's pictured (or even like Mask of Zorro). Normally I wouldn't have noticed but I almost feel like it's a staple of his work at this point.

Also still awaiting shipment. I purchased all of the Dec releases so maybe there's an issue with one of the others.

My last two LLL orders (Wuthering Heights in June and Gorky Park/The Lost World in August) never changed from "Awaiting Shipment," yet they arrived safely. When I look at my account now, months later, they still say "Awaiting Shipment." smile

I noticed, and I actually prefer the white rim. The more traditional look suits this release. What I also noticed, as someone who does design and publishing, is how dark the printing is. The spine text is very hard to read. Boosting the light/contrast on the print files helps, as images on a computer screen are always brighter than prints.

But that's small potatoes. This release is fabulous.
