Hiya, Y?all! There has been a slight delay regarding the next iTunes releases. It has been my plan to include as many as five first time digital releases out of every ten titles we issue on iTunes. Admittedly, this latest collection was going to have only one new out of ten ? as this ?one? is...

Brilliant!! Absolutely brilliant!!! Well Bill, admitting our addiction is the first step to recovery! Randy PS ? I?m still laughing!

Hiya Bill! Actually, I don?t. I sometimes supply the DVD producers with the demo and rare recordings found in the Bonus Features, but that?s about the end of my involvement. However, I am quite flattered that you think I may have been involved. High praise indeed! Let?s see if I can get more...

BJWanlund, Actually, TRON was released as a physical CD back in 2002 and should still be available. Here is the link to the Amazon listing. http://www.amazon.com/Tron-Jonathan-Perry-...TF8&s=music Wendy Carlos restored and remastered the score herself, while I restored the Journey tracks...

Joseph and merlinjones, As your own research has proven, this version of ?The Ballad of Davy Crockett? is performed by The Melomen and NOT The Wellingtons. It turns out I perpetuated an error that originated in 1996 on ?Classic Disney Volume 3? (which was the last time this version was...

ORGINAL POST REMOVED Sorry Folks, After some thought, I feel I need to do a little more research before I commit to my post. Some things just don?t sit right with me about what I posted. Randy Thornton

On another thread (linked below), there is a compelling discussion on Walt Disney Records decision to release titles via iTunes. In it, some of you have expressed enthusiasm and others their concern over a whole range of issues. I decided to create a new topic that addresses these issues so that...

On the ?Annette? album, WDR Japan released these in the late 80?s early 90?s as a straight transfer from the record master with little or no restoration. When I included some of these tracks on the ?Annette: A Musical Reunion with America?s Girl Next Door? boxed set, we went back to the same...

?Finding Nemo ? The Musical? will be released as a physical CD but only as a theme park exclusive. I just received my manufacturing sample, so it should be on the shelves any day now. Randy Thornton

In what could very well be an ongoing iTunes exclusive, here are the playlists for the first two volumes of ?Walt Disney Records Archive Collection?. This particular collection was designed to celebrate Walt Disney Records? 50th Anniversary. Every recording included here was created by Walt...

Well, it?s November 7th ? and the debut of Walt Disney Records? vintage titles on iTunes! Every master has been, and is being transferred and restored at 24bit 96kHz sampling rate. So when the technology becomes available to download at this high resolution, we will be ready. Who knows when...

Yes! The new Official Albums of 2006 - 07 are on the way. I just finished them last week. You can expect to see them popping up around the resorts in mid-to-late October. Both Disneyland and Walt Disney World albums are 2 disc sets. To help if you are ordering via Disneyland Delivears, here...

Hiya, Y'all! It is true that The Wonderland Music System will be closing within the next few months. But that does not, in any way, mean that we have stopped the reissue of our old albums. Quite the contrary!!! We are continuing the digital migration and restoration of these ?old friends? even...

Hiya Y'all! It's been a while, so I thought I let you kind folks know what's been goin' on. Here we go ? A MUSICAL HISTORY OF DISNEYLAND The complete set (minus the vinyl as mentioned before) has gone national and is doing extremely well. Costco informs us that it is the number one selling CD...

Great series of questions Kenster! Legally, I can?t speak about any particular artist or their contracts. But, by using examples [and theoretical examples only], I?ll try to explain the legal labyrinth as best I can. Q: ? let's use the Paul Frees estate for an example. Was his estate paid all...

Hiya Y'all! Actually, I sent Japan the very same Master we used for the single disc here in the US. However, when Avex realized that it was nearly and 80 minute CD, the informed me that their manufacturing cannot handle the exessive length and asked if they can split the album in two. Japan...

Hey wishesfan! We?re still looking at it. Sometimes these things get complicated ? how much will the artist and orchestra re-payment , production and mastering cost vs how many units does the retailer think they can sell (whether the retailer is realistic in their estimations or not) ? making...

Hiya jonyyeh! Wow, I?m kinda baffled. Though I do remember some mis-print in the text on the first run, but what you have described is totally different. ?Remember When? ? the 50th Anniversary Theme Song performed by LeAnn Rimes had (from the mastering stage) always been at track 11 and I, more...

Hiya rytheguy! What you heard is incorrect. Sales dropped on the Limited Edition because we sold out (save for a few that Disneyland has held back to maintain at least a presence until the Special Edition arrives). Demand is still quite rampant as we get 100s of requests daily. Approximately...
