Will 2,215 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 We could have had the cue titles for a few years if anyone had used binoculars and written down the titles on the conductor's screen at the live to projection concert. I saw some of them, but I was not going to stop concentrating on the show in order to take them down or try to remember them all. I can only remember that one of them was "Star of Bethlehem." I don't think they showed the slate numbers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Is there any rhyme or reason to which films we know the cue numbers/titles for and which we don't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,352 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I have a question about Star of Bethlehem (Film Version). While I think this version of the cue is extremely beautiful, the added layers sound a bit... out of sync at times. So I'm wondering, was this the intention, or did MM make a little mistake while mixing this particular cue? I'm thrilled he found these instruments, of course, but in my very humble opinion, they're not added quite perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 I don't think there are "added layers"; It's not like he took the version that had been released before then mixed some recording of an isolated synth channel over it. It's a completely different take, the one they used in the film, instead of the different take (without the synth) he put on the original OST album.

Among the various HA albums, this is the one I listen to most often now. It has also the best sound quality, I believe. Incidentally, I also like the pop and rock songs at the end... Especially "Run Rudolph, Run" and "Rocking Around the Christmas Tree"! bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read somewhere that Jingle Bells isn't part of "Christmas Carol Medley", as the track is called, because it's not a carol. In the liner notes Mike Mattesino calls it a "winter song".

Holko 9,531 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 It's very weird how the two tracklists are on two sides, but I guess all the obligatory rights acknowledgements on Disc 2 would've made the font size illegible if they tried forcing it on just the back.

Popular Post Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted December 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2018 I remember I had one of these Home Alone CDs lying around somewhere years ago and someone saw it and asked why I had a CD with Macaulay Culkin in his pajamas. I didn't really have an explanation and had to reevaluate my life momentarily. While it was admittedly terrible packaging design, that was when I decided that my collection can never be seen outside of JWFan.
