Limited Edition of 3000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $49.98
In honor of Batman’s 75th Anniversary, La-La Land Records, Warner Bros. and WEA proudly present THE DANNY ELFMAN BATMAN COLLECTION: BATMAN / BATMAN RETURNS: LIMITED EDITION (4-CD SET). Batman swoops back into La-La Land with this thrilling re-issue of our previously out-of-print deluxe editions of Danny Elfman’s classic, original scores to the Tim Burton-directed BATMAN (1989) and BATMAN RETURNS (1992), presented together for the first time! While the programs presented on these discs are the same as found on our acclaimed initial releases, BATMAN (1989) has been overseen by producer Neil S. Bulk and newly remastered by James Nelson from recently unearthed score elements, resulting in better sound quality. (BATMAN RETURNS is the same master as our previous release.) Produced by Neil S. Bulk, Dan Goldwasser and MV Gerhard, this special release of 3000 units features gorgeous, completely re-designed packaging by Jim Titus. The 48-page booklet carries over the liner notes from our previous editions. The populace of Gotham would agree – this is one knockout presentation of two iconic scores from a legendary Dynamic Duo in its own right… Tim Burton and Danny Elfman!”
I suppose most of us already have the two scores, but for thouse who don’t it’s a very good thing, seing the price of the out-of-print editions.

* previously unreleased
** contains previously unreleased material”I’ll take this one, of course…Hoping they suppressed the dialogues that were present in the first edition of this soundtrack.
Ordered Pee Wee, I’ve only heard a few minutes of this one so I’m excited. We’ll see about the Batman set, it would be my forth copy of the first score.
Wonder what’s next? We know Midnight Run is coming sometime… Hoping some label can give Family Man a proper release and I’d love an expanded Dolores Claiborne if that’s even on Varese’s radar.
I’ll order Pee-Wee soon. It’s a good score, but the first album presentation was terrible, so I’ll definitely get the La-La-Land one.
for Batman, it depends if the increased quality of sound is really consequent…Like you, I’d love to see an official release of The Family Man, and an extended one of Dolores Claiborne (even if there are problems of rights with this one, as far as I know). i’d also be very happy in a proper release of Dead presidents…
Big Top Pee Wee is currently on sale for 14.99. Regular price is 19.99. So now is a good time to get it! Can’t wait to listen to this score without all of the dialogue clips…!
Pee Wee ordered !
Any of you have got news about the release of Rabbit and Rogue ? There were rumors about it being recorded some monthes ago, and since nothing, as far as I knowForgot how fun the Big Top score was! Hope to see more expanded Elfman scores and some of the missing few that aren’t on disc in the future! LaLaLand is an Elfman Oasis!
