The Deluxe Edition of "The Burbs" is one of few special editions that has far too many tracks considering its running time of only 61 minutes. Besides it features different tracks that are musically connected which is meanwhile a no-go for such releases, as it leads to short interruptions on many media players. Not if the tracks are actually connected on the CD and the player is has gapless layback (a minimum requirement for any media player I choose).

No mp3 format. It is a problem with many devices and players, so it does not really make sense to just create the album for players that cope with it. I've never heard of a CD player that will have a problem playing any CD gapless. This is a CD. It was made to be listened to as a CD. Anything you do with it beyond that is on you, not the producers. I have hundreds of discs that have tracks that play continuous music between them. This CD is hardly an anomaly with that. Indeed, CDs are always gapless. I have Mahler symphonies where a single movement is divided into 15 or more separate tracks... would be horror if there were gaps in between. :-) Personally, I only players that can handle gapless play for even MP3 files (which is -- unlike actual lossless formats such as FLAC or ALAC -- inherently non-gapless). My car stereo can handle FLAC files (which are gapless), but AAC or MP3 files are not played gapless, so playing these files is the one case where there would be a gab in between connected tracks. But that's easily remedied since you can connect these tracks when converting them to MP3. If you rip your CD music to MP3 and your player cannot handle gapless, you always have the option to convert two or more cues into one. Tracks that segue into the next track will then play as one file without a gap. I think it is much better to connect short musical tracks into longer ones if it is musically feasible. I have rather one 8 minute track than 9 tracks that are 52 seconds long. (Again: provided the musical structure suggests this... but indeed many composers compose the music to do just that.) Musical architecture is the key here... I think the music should come first.

There is a new reissue of the complete score of The 'Burbs!!! ...on vinyl. Oh gee, the cover...what were they thinking? ^^ I Love this score from start to finish (and the Varese sequencing is prefect I think) and it would be great to own it on vinyl but such an odd cover really puts me off to be honest. Why do they have to go that „creative“ haha. I just looked at that cover... I thought you might have been joking...but WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT COVER HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOVIE????? I'll never by vinyl again, but if I DID, THAT cover would COMPLETELY turn me off of buying it!

Another question, and this can apply to any of these vinyl releases... are the soundclips from the ACTUAL VINYL releases, or are they from the TAPES? If they're from the tapes, then I think that's misleading.
