Sabrina 2 CD from La-La Land Records (2023)

[Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,433]

This is such a good news. I love this score so much can't wait to hear all the unreleased cues and the remaster of that wonderfull OST. Jim Titus nailed it again, the man is a genius

It is a second enhanced release. After the OST.

[Luke Skywalker 1,795]

You know what i mean…

[BB-8 3,473]

That said, Sabrina 2 CD set will be an immediate unwrapper.

I didn’t think so! I certainly wasn’t expecting two CDs for this one. The most significant missing cue I know of is the finale, M36 Catch That Girl.

Forgive me if this is a really silly question, but is 'Catch That Girl' just an alternate version of 'Linus' New Life' from the original CD? I'm not quite sure but I think the version on the CD is the one that appears in the film at the beginning of the video you posted? Linus' New Life doesn't match with the sheets but it has a lot of the same ideas. Sorry again if I'm being oblivious.

Funny you say that. I watched @BrotherSound's video of the finale, saw the final cue was unreleased, then heard OST track Linus New Life.

 

I was then extremely confused. Without knowing the score too well, the OST track sounded exactly like the film finale. Beat for beat I could visualise the scenes from the movie with that OST track.

 

So yeah, I reckon the album track is an alternate and the film finale is unreleased.

Mike Matessino has revealed that the film version of Moonlight will not be included in the FSM thread.

 

Hopefully it includes the film version of Moonlight by Sting. It was only available on a 2 track promo CD

UMG has no sublicensing rights for that version, sorry to say.

Ugh.. That's a pity..

I always hope for definitive complete versions, and in the end something is missing...

[Jay 37,355]

While John Williams obviously wrote the underlying melody that the song uses, he wasn't directly involved with the recording of either version of the song, that was an entirely different team than the one that did the score and other source music.

 

The score & source is John Williams conducting the usual LA musicians recorded by Shawn Murphy & Joel Iwataki.

 

The Sting song is a new orchestral arrangement by Don Davis, performed by the London Metropolitan Orchestra, recorded at Lake House and Air Studios by Simon Osborne & Steve Orchard

[TolkienSS 407]

Will this have the How Can I Remember song?

[crumbs 14,313]

I'm a bit confused. There's a version of Moonlight performed by Sting on the OST.

 

So the film version was different to the album version, but has only ever been released on a 2-track promo CD? And it can't be included on the new LLL for licensing reasons?

 

On the release itself, I'm surprised it's 2CDs. I would've thought everything on the OST would be covered in the complete film score on a single disc. I suspect this might be a Rosewood situation where licensing required the OST presentation be included, unchanged, on disc 2.

Always been curious: Why do you omit the 'h' in 'Yeah'?

[Bespin 8,480]

It's an old and more formal way to say yes.

 

[Jay 37,355]

I think 'round my parts I've seen it spelled without the h more often than with. Either way is acceptable AFAIK

[Bellosh 3,418]

gosh it makes me so happy coming to the forums and seeing any of these combos in the topic title: (YEAR), (2 CD), La-La Land Records, ect ect

 

Instant purchase.

I checked the promo single and I believe the film version is an edit from the album one.

Minus some very light mixing differences (at least to my ears, some very subtle details may be more evident on one than another and the album version sounded brighter), you can easily recreate the edit this way (approximate times rounded to the nearest second):

0:00 to 1:51

3:51 to 4:40

Fade out starting at 4:40 until 4:56 (the fade is more intense in the first few seconds then more subtle when is already very low).

"Yea" is a common spelling, but the correct spelling is indeed "yeah." Bespin's right—technically, "yea" is the opposite of "nay" (with which it rhymes). 🤓

 

Of course, all words are made up and spelling changes over time, so if enough people drop the "h" over the years, maybe that'll become the standard. My own dad has been Team Yea my whole life!

 

Anyway, Sabrina! I'll be curious to hear samples. I've never heard this score.

I dunno, wasn't a top priority for me.Depends how much unreleased/alternates there are other than minute orchestration variations .And I don't care about the song

coincidence? 😜
 

 

 

sad about that moonlight version, but if it is more or less a shorter rerecorded edit i dont care that much as i would put the full son on the main program anyway. At least it is released in a singlea.

Or am I wrong @Smeltington?

 

I'm thinking of JFK and Catch Me If You Can, where there are pre-existing songs sprinkled around. I guess I'm revealing my ignorance of the Sabrina score.

Same, another great JW score that needs to be put out there again.

[Edmilson 7,439]

The Patriot OST is not even streaming on Spotify or (officially) on YouTube. It's like the music overlords forgot this great score exists.

[Jay 37,355]

Huh that's interesting that it's not on streaming, usually Disney Records likes making money! 

 

Maybe the contract Centroplis made with Hollywood Records was only for a limited time and it's now expired, so the music rights have reverted to them.

[Andy 4,126]

I’ll admit I’ve only spun the OST a couple of times. So while I’m very familiar with the Theme, it’s not one I come back to frequently. 
 

So an expansion, like always is a welcome chance to revisit from a different angle in hopes of inviting new appreciation.

Quite similar here. When I am in the mood to listen to a John Williams score, I realize that I tend to ommit the albums that contain many songs and source music and rather look for something, that feels more consistent musically. That is why albums like Sabrina, Catch Me If You Can or J.F.K. don't spin too often. Even though all of these are great scores and good albums.

Let's see how this expansion flows.

Isn't it a strange sign of our times when a recent commercial album not being uploaded officially for free on YT by the label is a bit unusual?
