JohnnyD 1,231 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I can pretty much tell that this set includes previously unreleased music (from Alan Menken's score anyway)... Cool! Why did they not do this with Sleeping Beauty? Anyway, I'll probably get this set, as I thought Alan Menken's score was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,610 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 I don't know why, but they are expanding the modern scores and doing little to the legacy scores. It's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I finally imported my Sleeping Beauty last night and in the notes it actually says that they had access to the entire scoring and song sessions for the release. Don't know why they didn't put everything on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Then I'm not upset I didn't "upgrade" the OST I bought not too long ago. I'd prefer to listen to my Philips 2-disc of the acutal Sleeping Beauty ballet anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Maybe Disney thinks people are only interested in the expansion of the 90s films' scores? We'll have to see what 2015 brings for the older scores... I'm glad "The Little Mermaid" and "The Lion King" have finally gotten proper expansions. I'm assuming "The Little Mermaid" was remastered as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,610 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 It was, Neil and Bruce did a brand new transfer from the original tapes. Neil posted pictures of the transfer process on his Facebook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 627 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Great! This score was in a desperate need of a remastering. I'm curious how the mix will turn out.. if it'll be like the mix as heard in the film, like the original album, or something different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Looks like this is 100% complete.Well, maybe not quite. The End Credits feature a repeat of the Main Titles, but with a big flourish added onto the end. Based on the track list, it doesn't look like this is included, unless maybe it's on the actual Main Titles.Here's a clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Menken's music has been greatly remastered. This would be the first time I hear the music outside of seeing the film. I know there have been previous releases of the songs and selections of the score. Now, how bad was the music to this film in need of being remastered?

Balahkay 627 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The music has definitely been remastered and slightly remixed based on the samples. It's also definitely complete based on the track times. The songs and score have never sounded better. They even included the flute source music. I was a little concerned after the lackluster "Sleeping Beauty" and "Mary Poppins" releases. I think I may enjoy this release more than The Lion King.

Balahkay 627 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I hope this line extends into 2016 and beyond. I'd like to see the other Menken scores and Mulan get the same treatment. It will be interesting to see how the classic scores are treated in the future, but I expect they'll get the shaft. I'd like to see a complete version of Snow White, without sound effects here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
