GoodMusician 56 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Sry, yes, "My" Christmas Tree...and it does say previously unreleased, but as seen by other comments on this, most people don't realize its on that other album. Just wondered if it had been confirmed as the film version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fommes 153 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 So which new tracks are by John Williams? Just Merry Christmas Merry Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,016 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas is not new. It was the version first released on the song compilation album (there were two albums released back in 1992, remember?). It is simply the choral version with the intro from the orchestra only version that you can hear on the Varese Deluxe Edition. You could probably merge the two yourself, if you wanted to.The only new Williams track is fictional TV theme Celebrity Ding-Dong-Dong, a 41-second piece of source music. That's it.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurkensalat 340 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I have this set now, since I missed the Varese version, and like the additional music very much. Sound quality is fine, although on the bright side.Question for the experts: Why has Alan Menken written the Christmas Tree song in the beginning of the movie, and not Williams?

Josh500 1,615 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hmmm, still not sure whether to get this. I have the Varese edition, which I still enjoy (whenever I do listen to it, which is, admittedly, not that often these days).Am I really to spend another 25 bucks for an extra 10 minutes?On the other hand, this edition is limited, and it will be sold out eventually. And who knows? Maybe 10, 20 years down the road I might regret not getting it.Ahhh darn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,715 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow I mean just wow. Christian Clemmensen gave the score paltry 2 stars in his new review, which now includes the LLL album as well.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 i think he may had given it 2 stars back then.It's still madness, since he focuses on the rehash, without noting the beautiful new themes-songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,690 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 His buy/avoid bit says all you need to know about his stance:...almost a completely redundant accompaniment to the predecessor... and ...minimal amount of unique music left off of the 1992 commercial album...Absolute rubbish.

Balahkay 627 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 The only part I wish Williams would have changed up more is the "Setting the Trap" cue. I love the score and the new stuff is great, namely "To the Plaza, Presto." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,483 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Home Alone 2, 2012 expanded score. Yes or no? Should I wait for the next anniversary release? Will there be one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,364 Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 3 minutes ago, Bespin said: Home Alone 2, 2011 expanded score. Yes or no? Should I wait for the next anniversary release? Will there be one? Not sure what you're talking about. Home Alone 2 has been expanded twice, once in 2002 by Varese for its 10th Anniversary, and that's long out of print. Next was by La-la Land in 2012 for its 20th anniversary, that's available right here for $25 http://www.lalalandrecords.com/Site/HA2.html That's what you should get. There isn't going to be another one. And there was no expansion done in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
