Which is totally what wont happen. If inpay in the US the spanish customs will make me pay me in spain… and it would be I who would have tonask to be returned the US tax from the seller… which wont happen either. Unless im getting international taxes wrong. I'm also no expert on this and post/tax/customs matters can (in my experience) be very hit and miss, but as far as I understand, the receiver has to pay the import tax, UNLESS the sender already paid it - which should be the case with big online retailers (aka Disney (?)) more than small shops (specialty labels etc.).

"I Just Can't Wait to Be King" has cover backing vocals like on compilation albums. The tracks are also shorter than the old 1994 Sing-Along release (but maybe they were extended on that one, rather than shortened on this one). Edit: Oh wait, I sampled the digital Karaoke Series for the Lion King, not the Sing-Along. It could be that the Sing-Along version has the vocal melody playing like Mary Poppins Sing-Along. A mess. Just hunt the 1994 release down. Apologize for steering it off topic again. Hope everyone gets their 2CD Aladdin soon. And that it's satisfactory to your preferences.

John Takis 206 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Showing as "not currently available" at the Disney Music Emporium website. Presumably they sold out of their initial stock. Hopefully there are more copies on the way. I will be majorly upset if this turns out to be a "stealth" limited edition! Of all the Disney Renaissance expansions, this was the one I wanted the most. But I was in no rush, as none of the previous titles have been limited or even all that difficult to find. Even Hunchback, which hasn't seemed to be available anywhere but the DME, has been consistently available since its release. Fingers crossed...

Popular Post Archive Collection 214 Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2022 Here are my observations so far. On the whole, it's a pretty good release. I can see and hear a slight difference in the sound between the tracks included on the original CD and new material for the Legacy edition. "Arabian Nights" is has the revised line, so it's not the "original" 1992 version. I don't foresee this being an issue for anyone, because this is the version that's been circulating on CD since the mid-90s. The original version is available on the first CD (and you can find it easily online). The intro to "One Jump Ahead" is included ("Diamond in the Rough") and it sounds great. There are even a few extra seconds at the end, whereas in the film there's a dodgy crossfade between the two cues. The film version intro to "A Whole New World" is included (end of "Ali Comes Courting" it does cut off a few seconds after the part where the vocal should come in. Then the track cuts into the start of the normal album version. I would have preferred to have the original film version, but I'm glad we have the intro at least. It shouldn't be too hard to make an edit which combines these two tracks. The main program version of "Happy Ending" sounds a little off, it's either an alternate take, or it's missing an overdub, because the brass is missing from the start. But this is a very minor omission, since it's already available on the previous CD. The alternate is the same as the one included on the "Music Behind the Magic" set, but it doesn't have the final vocal cue. "Finale" is the end credits instrumental. It doesn't crossfade into the pop version of "A Whole New World". The alternates are great inclusions. It looks like most of the main program tracks incorporate the FINAL version of the alternate cues: e.g. "Make You a Star" is part of "To Be Free (Film Version)". Overall, I'm pretty happy with what we've got. I'm definitely going to make my own modifications - but I do that with every score I own. A few very minor issues, which can be easily resolved if you own any of the previous editions of the score (which you probably have, if you're interested in this CD). I might make a Google Doc comparing all of the versions, if no-one else beats me to it. Yavar Moradi, Giftheck, bnubz and 5 others 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth noting that the original "Intro to Carpet" is incorporated into "Cave of Wonders". "Prince Ali Reprise" is separated at a better point from "Jafar's Hour" and it also no longer cross-fades to the next cue ("Ends of the Earth") Additionally, "Why Me" is a different take compared to the one from "Music Behind the Magic". The vocal performances are completely different. filip, Haralampos and BrotherSound 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archive Collection 214 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Quick breakdown of some of the alternate cues... Intro to Carpet (Disc 2 Track 18) Film version of cue can be located on Disc 1 Track 15, from 1:17 onwards. Same as the film version until 1:12 (the same take(s), with periods of silence edited out, and some minor mix differences). Final 22 seconds contain different music to the final version.

JNHFan2000 2,961 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 This is a wonderful album. I watched the film last night with the album next to it. And what I like is that on the album there is some music cut out of the film. But they kept it intact for this release. Love that. Other than that, the intro to One Jump Ahead & A Whole New World are both great, although like many I wished the entire film version of latter was on the album. The extended Cave Of Wonders and To Be Free are a joy, And newly released cues like Rooftop, Ali Comes Courting, Genie Rescue Aladdin and Jafar In Charge are my favorites Just now, filip said: I was going to investigate some track changes/transitions on streaming (it felt like tracks were created/split from previously crossfaded masters) but instead I noticed Prince Ali Reprise is playing ever slightly slower on the Legacy Collection than the old OST.

Sheesh :/ They've done a good job with this release. The only real issue is the absence of the film version of "A Whole New World". I don't think they'd exclude it from the release without a reason - perhaps there was a licensing/legal issue? Maybe if they included new versions of songs, they'd have to pay all of the performers again (which is probably not worth it for Disney from a financial perspective). Maybe that's why the other songs were (seemingly) sourced from the original album master. At least we got that lovely intro. And everything else is great!

Groovygoth666 667 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 So using this BTS video and the instrumental that @filip was kind enough to point out, I've edited a full vocal film version of A Whole New World. Well sort of, the vocals in the youtube video are a different take to the film but it was either that or just a direct rip of the film audio with the SFX - https://drive.google.com/file/d/15moKxhoxfCe5nwr5IyqDNgdbPVNuQ4mp/view?usp=sharing 21 hours ago, filip said: I was going to investigate some track changes/transitions on streaming (it felt like tracks were created/split from previously crossfaded masters) but instead I noticed Prince Ali Reprise is playing ever slightly slower on the Legacy Collection than the old OST. Does anyone have movie audio laying around to compare? Is it just me? Having a quick listen against the film audio, it sounds the same up till "Say hello to your precious Prince Ali", then a microedit somewhere in the music and the rest of the vocals is a different take to what is on the album.

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Just a question. Why is that Robin Williams does not sing "Arabian Nights" if he voices the character that sings the song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure guesswork, but someone probably decided that his voice wasn't strong enough to sing Arabian Nights. He pulled off 'Friend Like Me' nicely, but I'm not sure how he would have gone with 'Arabian Nights'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sort of, Oh boy... Before you all lynch me I guess I should say that even though I used words like "legit film instrumental" they very well (and likely) may be just album versions - I just meant they weren't those damn covers. I apologise for the confusion. Edit: By the way, don't know if you used the youtube video or not but that clip is part of A Diamond in the Rough documentary which has 320kbps audio on my bluray (though who knows if it's not a re-encode of DVD audio that was in another lossy quality - would anyone have the original NTSC DVD with that documentary?).

PS. Lea Salonga ftw. Well I'm not mad, just disappointed. Going over both quickly it does seem they are the same, for the most part, the instrumental has what is possibly an overlay of strings during the first 40 seconds or so which is used in the film, so you're still technically right. And yeah I used the YouTube video, had no idea where it was from as only found it a few hours ago, thanks for the info, I'll see if I can get it in better quality now.

DemonStar 57 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I've wanted tracks like "Aladdin and Jasmine Confront Jafar" and "Genie Rescues Aladdin" since my school days. I'm so happy to have them released in such great quality. Overall this is a great album. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archive Collection 214 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 A Whole New World (Film Version) Fully lossless. No SFX. I isolated the vocals from the original album version (sourced from the 'Music Behind the Magic' CD), and combined it with the film version instrumental (from the 2018 'Disney Sing-Along' CD). From roughly 40 seconds onwards, the instrumental is the same in both the film version and album version, so I used the MBTB master for the rest of the edit. Still working on a version that includes 'Ali Comes Courting' - unless someone wants to beat me to it... https://mega.nz/file/xzZCTa6a#IvrRL-1fxMPGemtJmMl1zhwsnUPNozLqo7NiKoGL128 Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,795 Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 the "arabian nights reprise (unreleased master)" from the behing the magic CDs, would be the final cue after the "happy end in agrabah alternate" from the Legacy collection? BTW this set is great... i havent had to do hardly anything to replace the english songs with the spanish songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JohnnyD 1,223 Posted September 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2022 I find it interesting that there are quite a few moments of score that was dialed out in the finished film. It's cool to have everything as originally recorded. JNHFan2000, 4te and DemonStar 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the Arabian Nights reprise is from an earlier version of the film which used the Arabian Nights melody various times throughout the movie to provide additional narration. This idea was dropped, so only the initial Arabian Nights remained. The finale was repurposed for use at the climax of the second direct-to-VHS sequel, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, which acted as a finale for the Aladdin tv show and the series as a whole. The Happy End in Agrabah alternate has a different intro (15 seconds or so), a slightly different take over the genie's freedom being granted, and a different ending reprising the theme from Friend Like Me. It then should lead into the A Whole New World reprise as in the film version of the cue. The alternate was previously released on several early versions of the soundtrack, including this transition, which was probably cut for disc space for the Legacy Collection release.

Turbo 54 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 On the Legacy Collection, One Jump Ahead (Reprise) is a bit slower/off pitch compared to the other releases like it's a bit flat. When I heard the track open I wasn't sure what it was, but it sounded off. The vocals don't line up with the film either. The vocals from the original release and the Music Behind the Magic do line up with the film. filip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filip 53 Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 I tried looking at everything from the start but gave up real fast, lol - my mouse died and audio editing with a touchpad is rage inducing to me. The movie audio is annoying to compare to, too. There's several points at which the audio desyncs on "On a Dark Night" (OST vs Legacy vs movie). There's one moment where I'm not sure if it descyns because of edits or speed but on some other 3 points there's definitely editing - like at 0:40 the scarab chase comes in later in the movie. On a personal note, I don't know why that entrance is so subtle in the Legacy mix. I'll try to enjoy it for what it is. PS. Does anyone know which CD editions have which version of "Happy End in Agrabah"? Can you even tell from the cat# or cover? My CD soundtrack has this Legacy+brass version (and uncensored "Arabian Nights"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
