    Sherman Brothers Wonderland Music Project Album

    Hiya Bill! If you've read any of my liner notes for thr Classic Soundtracks, I talk about what I refer to as "The Great Purge". In the 1950's, Disney destroyed most, if not all, of the original nitrate elements (as nitrate had the nasty habbit of, oh, bursting into flames). Though they made...

    Hey Randy...a question about the 20K dvd.

    Hiya Bean!! There was at one time. I even duplicated the source elements I have and gave it to the production team. SPECULATION - It appears that they may have run into the same issue I did concerning a soundtrack. Even though the same music is sync'd to the same picture, an isloated track...

    Question for Randy

    I actually prefer to create these tracks musically. My edits and additions are determined by the music itself. As I?m sure you?re aware, the music for most of these attractions are composed and recorded as ?Loops? (music cues usually one minute in length to play over and over). When you go...

    old pinocchio music

    Releasing these type of demo recordings can sometimes be a rather sticky situation. In the case of Pinocchio for example, Disney does not own any of the songs (same is true for Snow White). Brief history: Walt gave his friend, Irving Berlin, the publishing rights to the songs and score to his...

    Another hurdle for Disney Radio stations

    First, it should be noted that the Royalties do not go to Disney. All royalties paid go to the composers, the composers estate if they have passed away, and to the artist (only on rare occasions where the contract lists the artist as royalty barring). Also, radio stations pay the music unions...
