The Official La-La Land Records Thread

[Wojo 2,453]

Of course not, JW picks a critical cue and immediately forbids its release.

He loves clearing out the good stuff that sticks in your mind, and leaving in the boring filler.

Naturally, if the good stuff sticks in your mind, you don't need it on album. It stays with you forever, so all you need is the less memorable material on the CD to jog your memory.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

My "mind's ears" aren't as interesting as my physical ears.

[Jay 37,281]

La La Land will be releasing 2 CDs to general retail on June 15th:

Friday Night Lights (TV) by W.G. Snuffy Walden (link)

And the soundtrack to Caddyshack, which was already released as a limited edition (3500 units) in January. Guess they've had a hard time pushing copies. (link)

[Andy 4,079]

Caddyshack is a smart one to send to general retail. It may not command the attention of score lovers, but it has instant name recognition to the general public.

[Richard Penna 3,669]

Doesn't Caddyshack have only a few score cues, and mostly songs?

Their description of it didn't make it seem like a release most of us would be interested in.

[Jay 37,281]

3 score tracks (Johnny Mandel)

1. Kenny Loggins - I’m Alright (Theme From “CADDYSHACK”) (3:35)

2. Kenny Loggins - Lead The Way (4:32)

3. Kenny Loggins - Make The Move (3:45)

4. Kenny Loggins - Mr. Night (3:21)

5. Journey - Any Way You Want It (3:09)

6. The Beat - There She Goes (2:41)

7. Johnny Mandel - Divine Intervention (1:46)

8. Johnny Mandel - Marina (3:21)

9. Hilly Michaels - Something On Your Mind (2:42)

10. Johnny Mandel - The Big Bang (2:03)

[Charlie Brigden 7]

5. Journey - Any Way You Want It (3:09)

That's the reason to own it.

[Wojo 2,453]

I have Journey's Greatest Hits (live and studio) and Departure albums, as well as the Time anthology. I have all the "Any Way You Want It" you could want.

It works great in the movie, but I've grown to actually hate that song.

[Charlie Brigden 7]

Yeah, I have it on Greatest Hits. I just love it to bits.

[MattyO 62]

None of those take my fancy, but I feel Independence Day is on the horizon. I also just received Eraser and I really like it - action scores just aren't written like this anymore!

[Jay 37,281]

Independence Day should be in La La Land's next batch, announced April 13th and available for sale April 20th. Unless there's some kind of holdup with signed copies or something

[Naïve Old Fart 9,493]

I hope the Williams is not Witches of Eastwick. I'd still buy it but it would just be a shelf filler. The DVD isolated score (which everybody who would buy this has) ,sounds fine .

I don't really care if it's a true legit official release, it's music we already have in decent sound quality.Were not talking about rear channel garbage here.

It sounds more than fine, my friend, as it is mixed in 5.1

[Wojo 2,453]

Independence Day should be in Intrada's next batch, announced April 13th and available for sale April 20th. Unless there's some kind of holdup with signed copies or something

Intrada or LLL?

[Jay 37,281]

Haha, typo sorry

[John Crichton 4]

Can I say again how much I love that LaLa allows some time between the announcement and the start of ordering?

[Jay 37,281]

I agree!

[Trent B 337]

I agree too, I wish Intrada and FSM would follow suit.

[Richard Penna 3,669]

Yeah it'd be nice if all the labels did that.

And I was listening to the ID4 boot yesterday... hot damn... bring it onnnnnn!

[Demondm810 398]

The final battle film version is unreleased correct?

[Jay 37,281]

Correct.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=ttnycTsrLSKhCzvEcVLJMFA&output=html

[Demondm810 398]

I haven't watched ID4 in forever....is the film version better than the alternate?

I haven't watched ID4 in forever....is the film version better than the alternate?

[Jay 37,281]

The film versions of "The Virus" and "The Day We Fight Back" are among the best cues in the whole score!! I can't WAIT to hear them without sound effects finally after all these years!

[Demondm810 398]

Yea, I hope the sound quality is excellent. I still think LLL's Godzilla score sounds a little flat, maybe there was nothing they could do about it.

[Jay 37,281]

BTW, we do already have an existing thread for the ID4 LLL set

[Trent B 337]

Yea, I hope the sound quality is excellent. I still think LLL's Godzilla score sounds a little flat, maybe there was nothing they could do about it.

Then you probably never heard the short promo boot for Godzilla. I think LLL's Godzilla sounds awesome and when comparing the boot for ID-4 to Godzilla, you can tell there's a major difference. I can't wait to hear the clarity LLL will give ID-4.

[Joe Brausam 214]

I ordered Batman and Superman: Doomsday, which they have one sale or just $2.98.

[Ollie 1,059]

Just a little FYI, but those of you who missed out on Godzilla might wanna keep your eyes on the secondary market in the coming months.

For Godzilla' 50th Anniversary in 2004, Toho began releasing box sets of all the scores to his films. There are 6 boxes in the series and the final one is due in April. There is a bonus disc and it's the 2 disc set that is identical to the LaLaLand release of David Arnold's score.

So while I can't guarantee it, there might be a possibility of some Godzilla fans unloading their LaLaLand discs once they get their box sets.

[Andy 4,079]

I'd be all over that. I'd give one a good home.

[Jay 37,281]

MV has delayed the X-Files set to this fall; It's no longer coming out on July 20th.

Also he more or less confirmed that ID4 is coming out April 20th. It will be paired with a 3,000 unit release for which he gave no hints. Here is the full quote:

Quote

Hey guys,

Thank you for all these wonderful suggestions. With all this new material to sift through, plus tracking down some rouge episodes that the The Cigarette Smoking Man has hidden in some vault we have decided to delay the release of this box set by a few months. At this time there is no way I can finish this set off and do it justice in order to release it in time for Comic Con. That said, we still have some ultra cool projects coming at ya in July to premiere at Comic Con.

So, that means a few things:

1. Expect a Fall release

2. Expect an in town signing/release party for this somewhere with Mark Snow (and hopefully some surprise guests)

3. That this puppy is gonna be the knockout release you fans have been craving.

Also, May will be a light month for LLL (two releases). Both Matt and I will be taking some time off (we will be closed for the week of Memorial Day). He has some traveling to do and I have limited edition of my own coming -- little Ivy Quinn Gerhard.

We are processing and shipping out all the orders from this week. Please be patient with the PO. It's tax time and the post office is crazy!

We'll be back on the boards on 4/20 with our next batch of releases. As I specified months before, it's a big one! This time, there will be no hints or pre-announcements when these two limited editions arrive. One will be autographed (first 100), the other will not. One is 3000 units and the other is 5000 units.

See y'all back here and on our website 4/20/10 at Noon PST.

MV

[Trent B 337]

Well that practically confirms ID-4. MV did state when the info about the score was leaked it would be 5,000 copies and the first 50-100 copies autographed by Mr. Arnold.

That sucks that they're not going to announce what the other title will be on Tuesday along with ID-4, ah well.

[Jay 37,281]

Yea its unusual for them not to do a pre-announcement.

The 3,000 unit release could be anything!

[Corellian2019 383]

I hope it's either:

a) Terminator 2

b) a title by Elliot Goldenthal

c) a title by Michael Kamen

[Andy 4,079]

Man I can't wait for this. I really hope I can get one of the autographs!

[Demondm810 398]

This is spectacular. I'm extra interested about the other release.

[Richard Penna 3,669]

What he said ^^.

[MattyO 62]

Indeed, April 20 could be an expensive day!

[ManofDestiny 71]

Great. Noon PST is 4.00 am in Hong Kong. I'll have a night without sleep, to wait for a signed copy.

[Richard Penna 3,669]

8pm here. The annoying thing is that since MV won't divulge the second title, it's gonna have to be an on-the-spot decision in order to get ID4 signed.

[Ollie 1,059]

Yeah, I'm more curious as to what the second title will be.

[Jay 37,281]

It seems very un-like them to not pre-announce. Especially since it seems like if not for David Arnold's twitter, ID4 wouldn't have been pre-announced either. Makes it a bummer for people who would really like an autographed copy, or have to manage their money closely, etc.

[Demondm810 398]

I hope that bodes well for the unknown release! I can't wait to see what it is.

[Ollie 1,059]

It seems very un-like them to not pre-announce. Especially since it seems like if not for David Arnold's twitter, ID4 wouldn't have been pre-announced either. Makes it a bummer for people who would really like an autographed copy, or have to manage their money closely, etc.

Oh I think that if David Arnold hadn't spilled the beans MV would have given a little teaser.

[Jay 37,281]

Yea, I suppose for autographed CDs he'll always pre-announce something

[Trent B 337]

I agree if Mr. Arnold hadn't spilled the beans on his Twitter account there would be an announcement for it tomorrow.

I am a bit surprised though they won't do an announcement for the 3,000 unit.

[Wojo 2,453]

Because they were "robbed" of the ability to announce the other. So they're playing hardball.

You'll know soon enough.

[Andy 4,079]

Wait, it's next week, not tomorrow. Right?

[Jay 37,281]

Yes, April 20th.

Trent is saying MV usually does a pre-announcement the week before, which would be tomorrow

[Wojo 2,453]

Oh ok.

[Richard Penna 3,669]

It'd be really nice to get some sort of clue over the next week though. I hope he doesn't do a Varese on us.
