Whoa!! One of my Elfman holy grails. The CD will suffice for me.

(obviously, the article is wrong when it claims it's the only unreleased Elfman film score, but be that as it may).

If the score cuts are on the Summer School CD it WILL be mine.

And mention of unreleased 80s Silvestri being premiered too!

The CD edition is *surprisingly* inexpensive.

Nice! But only 500 copies? I'm sure this will go fast. Hopefully a digital release will follow for those that miss out.

Nope, not a premiere. Summer Rental was released by Quartet in 2014.

I stand corrected, thanks!

I wonder if it’ll be the same master or a new one.

Are you trying to tell us something, say, about a future release from your label?

May can't get here fast enough.

Summer school


MV, love ya man, support your label since the Re Animator, King of the Ants days, but....

And I know you likely can't speak further on this...

But this drives us batshit!! I can only hope something further is coming, because you told us not to buy American Werewolf in London either, and that was a few years ago. That turned out to be sub par, almost a boot (I hear! Never pursued it), and I wish you could somehow hint this release is the same thing?!
Or should we take silence as a "Yes, The Tri-L is doing Summer School".

The blurb for this thing is by longtime (and reputable AFAIK) Fangoria contributor Michael Gingold, so.....wha gives?

Thus endeth the rant, back to playing your amazing F13 PT.2

The original CD has been OOP forever. Would LOVE a full release with the vocal tracks as well.

This Is a real release but it's only 19 minutes long and from what I have been told the sound quality is meh.

The score is very short to begin with. Less than 10 minutes, if memory serves, so if it's 19, it's more than the complete score in the film (the blurb also talks about a couple of cues that were unused in the film). Of course, in an ideal world it could have been coupled with another unreleased Elfman score (like, say, my no. 1 desired unreleased Elfman, HOT TO TROT), but if that's not possible, I take whatever I can get.

More worrying is what you say about the sound quality, though. If by 'meh' you mean as bad as the Perseverance release of RAIN MAN, for example, and a better-sounding release is down the line (like the NoteforNote release of RAIN MAN a couple of years after the Perseverance), then that's cause for hesitation.

Here's an old thread about film and score:

This is a weird one.
I assume it's a sanctioned release, green-lit by the studio AND Danny Elfman?
I don't think LLL are doing a 'better-condition-edition' in the (near) future? (but maybe they are)?
It felt more like a 'Buyer Beware' about the running time and audio quality.
But why would Elfman and/or the studio allow such a product to go out in the first place?
What to do...what to do...?

Many thanks MV for the clarification and not roasting me!!

My first thought was....there ain't much Danny in 'School'. Maybe they found an hour long symphonic adventure/horror/comedy work that went unuaed??

I should have known. Immediate flag, out the gate of Gingold's article, last unreleased score, bah!

Bring on Hot to Trot!

Bring on Hot to Trot!

Hear, hear!

A way to extend the running time a bit would of course have been to include the original songtrack, and the score music at the end, but I'm guessing there are all kinds of rights issues involved with that.
