What month is that? June?

And when are we expecting announcements?

Since we know Lalaland has an upcoming Williams release, I assume the 300th release will be that one!

Announcement should be made more or less a week after next batch is released and week before the first June batch. Which should be around 26-28th of May.

What? Do you mean you knew all along? I had no idea!

We should start celebrating about the new Williams release then? :D

Hmmmm.... My guess:

I saw lots of then-upcoming releases when I was there in October. Doesn't mean any of them was a Williams title.

I wouldn't mind seeing an expanded release of The Patriot. There's some great material that hasn't been released yet such as the music from the letter scene.

I'm not as enthusiastic about The Towering Inferno after seeing the film. Much of the score is comprised of Johnny Williams-like light jazz scoring from what I've heard.

Anybody besides me constantly refreshing https://www.facebook.com/lalalandrecords today to see what their June releases could be?

There has been no consistency, actually


The February flyer went up on Tuesday February 4th at 11:31am EST for Feb 11 and 25 releases

The March flyer went up on Monday March 3rd at 4:26PM EST for March 11 and 25 releases

The April flyer went up on Wednesday April 2nd at 12:16PM EST for April 8 and 22 releases

The May flyer went up on Friday May 2nd at 9:07pm EST for May 6 and 20 releases



So the only thing for sure is that it goes up the week before the first releases of the month, but it could be on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday (so far). Heck, maybe this time it will be on Thursday to complete the cycle!


We know the release dates in June are Tuesday June 3rd and Tuesday June 17th, unless something has changed.

LIMITED EDITION OF 1500 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

ALBUM PRODUCED BY DAN GOLDWASSER

MASTERED BY JAMES NELSON at DIGITAL OUTLAND -- TACOMA, WA

LINER NOTES BY JEFF BOND

ART DIRECTION BY DAN GOLDWASSER

La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures present the WORLD PREMIERE release of yet another 80’s classic – D.A.R.Y.L. This magnificent score was composed by another legend in the music industry – the late, great Marvin Hamlisch. If you grew up in the 80’s, this light hearted children’s sci-fi film was almost mandatory viewing on cable since it was probably shown at least twice a day on HBO for the entire decade! This La-La Land fav features a memorable and beautiful score by one of Hollywood’s most diverse and talented composers. Also on this release is the film’s title song – SOMEWHERE I BELONG, written by Hamlisch/Pitchford and performed by Teddy Pendergrass. Jeff Bond takes the listener deep inside the film’s history and the scores’ creation as Dan Goldwasser’s sure hand at art direction makes the whole thing look good.

Last but not least, La-La Land ventures out of the realm of soundtracks and into the realm of Bluegrass, Country, Folk, Rockabilly and Smooth Jazz….

D.A.R.Y.L. - One of the longest wanted Holy Grails I've had. I'm definitely happy to get this.

The Addams Family - One awesomely fun, sickly sweet and twisted score. Great to have it expanded.

Empire of the Sun - Goodness, this is an all-time classic score. Up there with Hook and 1941.

I like June. :)

Why is it June 24th for Empire of the Sun and The Addams Family, instead of June 17th? I thought it was a 2 week gap between each wave of releases.

Does this mean that the July releases will be pushed back to the 8th and 22nd respectively?

WEA and UME titles tend to take longer to manufacture. We want to make sure those titles are in stock or close to being in stock before we ask you to fork over your hard earned Mula.

After June 24 we will be back on the schedule we set at the beginning of the year. JULY 15 will be the next release date. We are skipping July 1 due to the Holiday on July 4th

While Hook's release has flaws it's still worth purchasing. If you love Williams and like both the film AND score, help La-La Land out and buy it!
