Jay 39,703 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Unfortunately for us, usually when a label re-issues an old LP like this, that means another label cannot also release an expanded score until this label's license runs out. Of course, since WEA owns Rhino, maybe that means a complete release can still happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBard 71 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 We all know that some of the score had not survived well in the intervening years. Some cues were 'damaged' sonically and some minor incidental cues cut due to being too bad to repair, even for the FSM limited run OST.How hard would it be to acquire the original LP album masters (for reference), track down the original handwritten scores, get them engraved, and hire a professional orchestra to play them for the missing cues in TTI?The final product would be splendid, to say the least.

EdwardHall 30 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I have never heard of "The Promenade Room" as an elusive cue. I own the 2 disc set from years back and I thought it contained every track. Now I am slightly disappointed. People who buy the abridged version are missing out some terrific cues. "Departmental Pride and the Cat," and a lot of the jazzy music toward the beginning of the movie before the fire gets going. Where exactly in the film is "The Promenade Room" heard?

RedBard 71 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It's the part where lounge music plays during the party prior to the announcement of the fire.Yeah, it's where O’Halloran orders Duncan to evacuate the party and the music becomes louder as Lisolette and Harlee dance and Duncan lectures Roger.It's called "The Promenade Room" on the cue sheet, and the cue has an interrputed ending as Duncan asks the house band to stop playing. Maybe that's why FSM didn't t add it to the expanded album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why FSM didn't t add it to the expanded album.I suspect that that cue is not an original JW compsition. It could have been recorded when JW recorded "The More I See You".BTW, the other piece of "dance" music is actually "Maggie Shoots Pool", from "Cinderella Liberty".

A. A. Ron 1,943 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Unfortunately for us, usually when a label re-issues an old LP like this, that means another label cannot also release an expanded score until this label's license runs out.I don't think that applies to this situation at all, what with studios selling physical and digital distribution rights to their soundtracks separately. That's the excuse the boutique labels keep giving for not selling digital downloads -- they only want to spend money on the rights for one medium. CDs just happen to be the most popular medium within our niche of collectors.Example: LLL has released three physical albums for Batman: The Animated Series and Warner Bros. has gone off and released the same tracks digitally under the name of a different company.CD or no deal!This stance is ridiculous. I could understand "lossless or no deal," but come on! They're offering you the music in perfect sound quality over on qobuz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
