I hope they release the songs recorded for the musical.

Were there any recorded before Spielberg scrapped the whole idea of the musical? I always thought that only the melodies of some of the songs survived as themes in the score if not counting We Don't Wanna Grow Up and When You're Alone, only songs making it into the film.

I'm not sure. For some reason I recall reading (somewhat recently) that Williams had written 10 songs, and perhaps he had even recorded some. But I'm not sure about the second part. Still, if it is indeed LLL's 200th release, maybe MV would go all out and hire an orchestra and some singers to record the songs? If Robert Townson can hire multiple composers and an orchestra tor his 1000th release, maybe it's not entirely ridiculous to think MV would do something slightly less demanding for his 200th?

Alas, I think MV stated that nothing special was planned for #200, that it was just another release in the catalog.

Awwww I was waiting for a nice barber shop quartet rendition of We Don't Wanna Grow Up and Pick 'em Up! :crymore:

And btw I would be bloody well happy and content with 2 disc Hook if they would by some miracle be able to release it soon-ish. 30 min. of alternate material after 2 hour score would be just ok.

Oh you are forgetting the classics like Crock Around the Clock, Born in the Neverland, I Smee You and sure-fire hit The Hook of Love.

La-La Land Records is very excited about our next 3 releases. These titles will go ON SALE TUESDAY February 28 at 1 pm PST atwww.lalalandrecords.com and at other fine online soundtrack stores.

First up:

THE MECHANIC

MUSIC BY JERRY FIELDING

LLLCD 1191

LIMITED EDITION OF 1200 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY FORD A. THAXTON

MASTERED BY JAMES NELSON AT DIGITAL OUTLAND

LINER NOTES BY RANDALL D. LARSON

ART DIRECTION BY MARK BANNING

La-La Land Records and MGM are very excited to announce the reissue of Jerry Fielding’s classic action score to THE MECHANIC. Previously released by Intrada, this new version features some minor digital enhancements courtesy of James Nelson as well as a slightly different listening order of tracks (in other words, if you have the Intrada release keep it and let those that do not have it pick this version up). New artwork by Mark Banning and liner notes by Randall D. Larson are a highlight!

JENNIFER 8 – 2 CD SET

MUSIC BY CHRISTOPHER YOUNG AND MAURICE JARRE

LLLCD 1198

LIMITED EDITION OF 2000 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE: $24.98

PRODUCED BY DAN GOLDWASSER

MASTERED BY MIKE MATESSINO

LINER NOTES BY JEFF BOND

ART DIRECTION BY DAN 8

We decided to skip parts 1-7 and just release Christopher Young’s breakthrough score to the Paramount Picture thriller JENNIFER 8 instead. ;)

This is the score that really put Mr. Young on the map in terms of big studio pics. However, it almost did not happen. Before Mr. Young was brought on board, Maurice Jarre was hired to score the film. He scored about 75% of the movie before his score was tossed and replaced by Christopher Young’s haunting and thrilling music.

This is a very unique release – Mr. Young wanted to “revisit” his career making score and has culled together a great album of his best music featured in the film. Clocking in around 48 minutes this brooding and elegant score will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up while you sit in awe and listen to how beautiful the melodies play out. If you had the previous MILAN release and loved it, you will be even more impressed by this longer and more complicated version.

Disc 2 features everything Maurice Jarre recorded for the film – about 40 minutes of music, a collection of orchestral and synth music very much in the style of his works for GHOST and WITNESS.

This 2 disc set is a fascinating look inside two very different film scores to the same film. Liner note author Jeff Bond interviews writer/director Bruce Robinson about the two scores and gets insightful comments from composer Christopher Young. Dan Goldwasser’s art direction tops it all off.

Pop Quiz, hotshot – what 1990’s action score launched the career of composer Mark Mancina, is newly remastered and expanded and is La-La Land Records 200th release?

SPEED

LLLCD 1200

MUSIC BY MARK MANCINA

LIMITED EDITION OF 3000 UNITS

RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

PRODUCED BY NICK REDMAN AND MIKE MATESSINO

DIGITALLY EDITED AND MASTERED BY MIKE MATESSINO

LINER NOTES BY JOHN TAKIS

ART DIRECTION BY MARK BANNING

This action blockbuster NOT ONLY launched the careers of stars Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bollock, as well as director Jan De Bont, but it also catapulted composer Mark Mancina into the “A” list category of film composers.

Composer Mancina crafts a brilliant, pulse pounding action score that became the template for all action films since 1994. Previously released on Fox Records, this newly remastered and expanded version features 70 minutes of balls to the wall, speaker bursting, adrenaline-inducing film music that should be outlawed in all moving vehicles. Producers Nick Redman and Mike Matessino ramp up the excitement and put this bad boy into overdrive by putting the score back in film order. John Takis takes the listener behind the scenes of the film and the score while art director Mark Banning makes it all look good.

We always try to add a little something extra for the fans of the film, and in this case we went ahead and licensed the end credit song SPEED by Billy Idol and included it at the end of this release. . .it had to be there. ;)

See y’all next Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 1 pm pst when these 3 titles go on sale!

Wow, that's really disappointing. I wish MV would just let us know if Hook's in the works or not. An avalanche of Hook clues right before the 200th release is nothing short of obnoxious, as far as I'm concerned.

PS: what's up with the bolding?

Wow, Mikko, it's disturbing to see you lose your nerve like this! :o:D

Don't worry, lads, Hook'll get released eventually and when it does, it'll be limited to 1000 copies which'll sell out in about 16 minutes, after whichever-label-puts-it-out's servers will have crashed about 10 times first! :lol:

And now for something completely different: being a big fan of the series, I very much want a boxset (or three :P) of music from as many MacGyver episodes as possible (kind of like LLL did for e.g. The X-Files). Do you think there's any possibility for that? :blink:

Nah. I was kidding. I would be happy if label people would if only to allay frustration tell us if Hook is in the works. But knowing us they most likely refrain from doing that since it would cause as much ruckus as not annoucing it and just hinting at it. :P

Um, what's that bold font thing? My post above wasn't in bold originally. What's all this?! :blink:

I have no idea. I guess there is something wrong with the thread itself. Every message comes out normal first but when you refresh the thread it turns bolded.

A lot of times it doesn't matter if they want to include it or not; It's mere presence on the score CD could put everything on that CD in some kind of weird legal situation

Respect the Wind is an awesome piece, and far better than that garbage arrangement of William Tell. It wouldn't be right to not include it.

I'm on the fence regarding Speed.

I'm going to buy Speed for sure, the sequencing on the OST was rubbish.

It seriously has to be THE most out-of-chronological-order OST of all time... the climactic cue is presented as track #2! The opening elevator pieces end the CD! It's SO strange

I'd actually like the end title cue to be included separately from Respect the Wind, even if as a bonus cue.

But there's also Humans Being in the middle of the film.

Both are fairly important for the mood of the film, and if its them holding up a release, then so be it.

But Humans Being is available on Van Halen Greatest Hits, Volume I. That's a curiously named album because they never made Volume II; they waited long enough and produced The Best of Both Worlds as a two disc set.

A "score" fanatic might argue that Humans Being is not required because it's a song with vocals, while Respect the Wind is at least purely instrumental. I don't personally care, since I've got both pieces as well and the OST, in addition to all the VH that I can stomach.

Yeah, by track 6 or so all the highlights are pretty much over. I'm looking forward to hearing this properly.
