    BATMAN (1989): LIMITED EDITION: 2 CD-SET (Expanded Archival Collection)
    LLLCD 1140
    Music by Danny Elfman
    Limited Edition of 5000 Units

    As part of our Expanded Archival Collection, La-La Land Records presents the World premiere release of the film version of Danny Elfman’s acclaimed original score to the 1989 Warner Bros. blockbuster BATMAN, starring Jack Nicholson, Michael Keaton and Kim Basinger and directed by Tim Burton. With a running time of 144 minutes, this 2-CD SET, produced by Dan Goldwasser, Neil S. Bulk and MV Gerhard, and remastered by James Nelson, features the previously unreleased film version of Mr. Elfman’s score, as well as a remastered presentation of the 1989 soundtrack album and never-before-released Bonus Tracks. 20 Page CD Booklet features in-depth liner notes by Jeff Bond. Limited Edition of 5000 Units

    ABOUT THIS RELEASE: In order to present as much music as possible from Batman in the best possible quality, multiple sources were utilized with the best-quality elements selected for each cue on an individual basis. For disc one and the bonus cues on disc two, three sources were used: Eric Tomlinson’s 35mm 4-track mixes, 1/4 inch stereo mixes and a stereo 35mm music only track. The album cues on disc two were sourced from the original digital album master featuring Shawn Murphy’s stereo album mix.

    Oh, I think this is fantastic! I just think most people here felt this was a foregone conclusion. Anyhow, I can’t WAIT to hear the alternate cues. What a dream come true.

    I’ve been waiting YEARS for this!

    Unsurprisingly, I’m totally indifferent to this release.

    I felt the original soundtrack album was perfect – both in terms of sound and presentation.

    Here’s another Elfman music on Batman Begins video. This one is pretty well done, I think.

    I guess Batman Returns will have a similar release later this year. I always preferred that score.

    #65629

    Batman Returns is more dramatic and emotional, so I can understand why someone would prefer it. But I like Batman more because, for Elfman, it’s original. Returns was scored after Edward Scissorhands and the Nightmare Before Christmas SONGS and you can hear a lot of that syle in the Returns score.

    That was my favorite time period for Elfman scores. 89′ thru 93′. Batman Returns was the best of them all. I can’t wait for the complete score!

    Agreed! I find myself listening to RETURNS way more than the Original! Although I like them both… I can’t wait to get this one though! I want some of that New and Improved JOKER PRODUCTS! Awesome!
