we need a friggin anniversay edition!!!!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

after many many weeks of absence i have returned (as if anyone noticed that you were gone, you a-hole!!!!!!!!!!) ewkay… i’m sorry people, my other half gets crazy at times, sometimes saying he’s the dragon other times saying he is the goblin, I just cant control the guy, sorry… okay, okay back tot he original post intentions i had.
so many friggin scores and composers get special editions of their scores (the best example is the star wars special edition with the kickass darth maul art in the cover) so i the question i ask here is: dont you think we should get a special edition of one of danny’s best scores? hell, i’d love to see a complete edition of batman, eedward scissorhands or even better batman returns!
do you guys think we need a special edition of an elfman score? if your answer is positive, then which score would you like to see (or hear if you will) enhanced?
come on people, let’s brake the boredome that has been strangling this message board lately and get on the fun… uh hah, ya yi yay… uh, hah, happy, happy, joy joy!!!!!!!!!!

Hey. I think we need special editions of the oop scores so those out there(like me) who miss them could get a copy.
For example The Frighteners or Darkman. I also agree on the Batman Returns choice, I still have my tape(yeah, original).

Well, I don’t really see the point (besides more money for the record label). I mean, Elfman’s scores sound awesome as they are, so no enhancement is needed. As long as Danny keeps on coming up with new scores, I am totally happy.

I would love Edward Scissorhands, just because I don’t think it’s possible to get too much of that score! And Darkman would be great, too–or Nightbreed, just because I don’t have either one in its entirety.

Any of Danny’s scores would be good, though–considering half of my collection is on cassette tapes, too. That, and the publicity wouldn’t be bad for him, either. (Can you believe there are still people who don’t know who the hell he is)?

(Alonso, you’re lucky if you just have two personalities. Sometimes I think I have twelve–none of ’em like babies, though. And they all like Danny. That’s probably the only consistency amongst them/me. Do you watch Spider-man on a daily basis, too? I have a sickness)!

With Varese Sarabande CD Club now releasing a Home Alone 2: Deluxe Edition, I think this is a great question! — Raising my glass to Alonso! Not that I don’t like Williams (because I’ve had to defend him a few times on this board), but I would love to see another composer besides the big “Popular” three get Deluxe Editions — if your keeping score, the big “Popular” three are John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and James Horner (although the ladder two aren’t as over “Deluxed” as Williams, but then again when you think about all those 70+ minute albums from Horner, they might as well be “Deluxe”, I mean really, I think some of Horner and Williams’ CD go on too long, becuase, let’s face it, we need to breathe… wait, where was I?… Oh yea…). I think the first Danny “Deluxe” (not the composer Danny Lux) CDs should be his most important, as far as his most popular, weighed against the most trend making scores. For example – Batman was a Great, with a capitol G, success, and the music was seen as Danny Elfman’s calling card score even though Batman Returns is seen as a better score by many (me included). Batman Returns should see a Deluxe Edition, but Batman deserves one more. Also Edward Scissorhands was not only a Successful movie, but a score that has been imitated over-and-over-and-over again. It also has the advantage of being one of Danny’s personal favorites.

So what does all this babbling mean? I think Batman and Edward Scissorhands should be given consideration for the first (of many I hope) Elfman Deluxe Editions. But how could you argue with a Beetlejuice or Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure (isolated DVD scores not withstanding)? And since there was a Home Alone 2 Deluxe Edition before there was a Home Alone (1), why not a Batman Returns.

Nat who is tired… can you tell?

hey, I think we all would be in favor of getting extra danny anything. I don’t think the economics of deluxe editions would fly for anyone but Williams, and an occasional Varese Sarabande herculean effort. But the chances of any company doing a Batman, Returns, or Edward Deluxw Edition are pretty slim.
However, I know some have said the dvd audio commentaries are overdone, I love them and find them greatly insightful. Even if there is no commentary, I always enjoy the complete isolated score as with Beetlejuice. I would even like more of those.
Any bone they throw our way will be appreciated, but I think in general I would like to see Danny’s work get the recognition that is implied with the reissuing of old scores, you know, the proverbial tip of the hat to someone who once upon a time did something great.

I love the fact that some of his stuff was re-recorded on albums like the Batman Trilogy on Varese, and silva screens doing batman, edward, and beetlejuice.

Edward who?

Actually, the score of his that really needs some sort of special release is Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. Re-master and release the original tracks, so we will be able to forget about that re-recording we all know, which incorrectly interprets many of the cues.
