    Worst Disney Album Cover Ever

    Hiya Rich T! Though I had no knowledge of this release prior to your post, I can say with certainty that it is not a Walt Disney Records release. After listening to the samples, that is a re-recording or 'Cover Album' - you can tell by the performances as well as the synth assisted orchestra...

    WDW Forever/ Buddy Baker Track Question

    musicrazy is absolutely correct. It is indeed from "Perri". However, ?Break of Day?, as well as the other songs in the film ? ?Now To Sleep?, ?Perri?, and ?Together Time? were composed by Winston Hibler and George Bruns. And the underscore was composed by Paul Smith. Randy

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Sorry, Folks. I didn?t mean to derail the thread with my ?hack? addendum. I just wanted to point out how much I appreciated the fact that one?s first instinct to voice a critical reaction was ?there must be a reason? as opposed to there being an instant condemnation of all involved ? a practice...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    On MISSION SPACE - Somethings are just out of reach at times. Doesn't mean things will stay that way, but it doesn't mean things will change either. Sorry for the 'Fortune Cookie' answer, but that's the best I can do at the moment. Hope you understand. I walk a fine line here on the boards...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    To be honest, the ?Yo Ho (A Pirates Life for Me) track still represents the attraction. All the cues used within the track still play - ?Pirate Overture?, ?Scare Me Music?, and ?Yo Ho?. It was never my intent for this to be considered a ride-thru. We?ve always considered it to be an extension...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Actually, ?Alexander?s Ragtime Band? was for Main Street U.S.A. and was performed by Rod Miller. I used ?Happy Rag? from the George Bruns and the Wonderland Jazz Band album ?Deep In the Heart of Dixieland? (available on iTunes ? end of shameless plug). Admittedly, that really isn?t from the...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    I agree with X-S wholeheartedly. Honestly, I really don?t think it?s a ?lying issue?. I think the front line folks just don?t know. With all the merchandise the cast members have to deal with, keeping track of one CD could be easily overlooked in one form or another. Randy

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Though it?s completely out of my control, I still feel bad that you all have had such a difficult time finding the Disneyland album. I did say in my original post (on this thread) that the date I had was April 8, but that it didn?t mean it would be out on the shelves then. FWIW, the image Jerm...

    Golden Dreams?

    I couldn?t include ?Just One Dream? from GOLDEN DREAMS because of rights. It wasn?t recorded under a phono agreement, and Heather Headley is an artist signed to another label. Even though we paid a SUBSTANTIAL fee for clearances when I released it on the DCA Alum in 2001, the agreement could...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    I know exactly what you're saying. And I do agree. However, when THE HAUNTED MANSION album was originally done, it was produced by WDI and RedDot Net and they didn't follow the rules - because they're not record labels and didn't know the rules or proper procedure - DLF and WDWF were...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Good question PigsOnTheWing! The "Splash Mountain Medleys" are labeled medleys as they are actually a collection of distinct and different compositions. Though the cues for THE HAUNTED MANSION are indeed labeled "Foyer", "Ballroom", and alike, they are technically 'variations on a theme'. And...

    Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3

    Re: Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3 Digital Booklets ? The reason 20k had a book was because I fought hard for it. I felt very strongly that it need to have some explanation of the soundtrack's turbulent history and what the bonus tracks were. I also wanted to thank the...

    iTunes Wish List - Soundtracks/Vintage Disneyland LP's

    Re: Itunes Wish List - Soundtracks/ Vintage Disneyland LP's hauntdmansn, More vintage titles have been released in the last three years than in all my years of trying, and it shows no sign of slowing down.

    Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3

    Re: Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3 Hey everyone, I want to make sure I didn't inspire false hopes here, but I was only referring to the possibility of an iTunes re-issue of the original EPCOT Center album the OP had mentioned. Park material beyond what has already...

    Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3

    Re: Help! Looking for 1983 Official EPCOT album on CD or MP3 Welcome, CastAwayCaptianJack! The last time I included this track was on the "Walt Disney World - The Happiest Celebration On Earth" (UPC 050086129379 / Product # 612937) 2 disc set for the 50th celebration in 2005. The first time I...

    Overture - Jungle Book and PotC

    I believe that the instrument that you are referring to is a Bass Flute. Mr. Bruns used it in several of the score tracks on "The Jungle Book," but never as prominently as he used it in "The Pirate Overture" for "Pirates of the Caribbean." As for more recordings with a similar sound, Mr. Bruns...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    I have not yet seen the covers. That work is not done by the WDR Graphics team. As a matter of fact, back in 2004 we had to wrestle the Disneyland Box Set away so I could have our team create it. I have heard that Mickey saw the new art.

    iTunes Wish List - Soundtracks/Vintage Disneyland LP's

    Re: Itunes Wish List - Soundtracks/ Vintage Disneyland LP's Thanks, y'all! Read and noted! Pretty much matches my wishlist. Though music is an easy sell (to the distributor), Storytellers are a bit more difficult. I have some higher profile albums - "Peter and the Wolf" and "Tuby the Tuba"...
