    Haunted Mansion Holiday Bootleg

    There are a lot of the individual music loops from almost every scene of the 2001 version available - the Gordy Goodwin version. About a dozen or so tracks, most in stereo. Enough to fill a CD. Nothing from the later versions has surfaced yet - and thank goodness! The later versions suck. GG

    Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

    You are correct in that the show is "in the round", and therefore the bird's postitions vary depending upon where you sit. The point is that they stay anchored to their perches throughout the entire show. The problem is, when Mr. Thornton assembled the Wonderland version of the show, he used a...

    Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

    I'm not familiar with the photo, but they have a habit of using various different birds to portray "Jose". In a video I have (circa 1965), they show Walt talking to a rainbow Jose who is wearing a straw hat and bow tie. A bit later, we spy a brief glimpse of the Barker Bird, who is clearly...

    Pirates DVD

    True, but a DVD player is much more affordable than buying a whole new computer just to see a few files! As low as $29.99 nowadays, and soon VHS tapes will no longer be available, so one would eventually have to switch or do without new movies altogether. Fortunately, a kind soul posted the...

    Pirates DVD

    Re:OT: PoC DVD Unfortunately, you would still need a Mac with a DVD-ROM drive, which I don't have. Just for the heck of it, I stuck it in the CD-ROM drive, but nothing - of course. Can anyone extract these parts and post them somewhere so we can view them? I don't understand why they didn't...

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE reviews and news!!!

    Now my face is red. :-[ It was two years ago that I actually had the Lp and DLF versions side-by-side in the same file while I was putting it together. Either I didn't pay that close attention to it then, or I just plain forgot about the missing vocals of "Let's all Sing...". I think my main...

    Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

    Mine runs 17:28. The easiest way to tell is from the name on the track (Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room - 2003 Compilation Rebuild.mp3), and in the comments box of the tag info (Encoded by LAME version 3.92 (http://www.mp3dev.org/) Rebuilt from previously released tracks by Grinning Ghost...

    Haunted Mansion Holiday CD-A Preemptive Plea

    It's actually the 2002 mix, but with the ending replaced to reflect this year's version. They should have included Oogie Boogie's comments to make it absolutely accurate to this year's version. I still can't stand the music, the 2001 original was the best. One thing that still puzzles me is...

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE reviews and news!!!

    Well, geeze, even I didn't think it sounded all *that* bad! My only real quip with the quality of the sound was with the funky reverb on some of the tracks, primarily on the dialog of "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" (not the Offenbach number as I had mis-stated previously). Randy's...

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE reviews and news!!!

    You're right! I will say that it's not entirely true about the loss of quality, in this particular case. It was true a couple of years ago, but not now. Mp3 encoding software has improved dramatically. I use LAME 3.92 vbr encoding on my mp3s, and when encoded with the right settings, they...

    Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

    Actually there are two other versions of the show in stereo "out there": those two were also made from the DLF and WDWF tracks. One incomplete and incorrectly ordered version from the DisneylandSource.com, and the complete version that I made two years ago, using only the DLF tracks (for the...

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE reviews and news!!!

    UPDATE: The ENTIRE Tiki Room show is made up of a combination of the Disneyland Forever, Walt Disney World Forever, and the "Official" park album version of "In The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room." Not one new mix in the whole show. How do I know? I just finished rebuilding it exactly the same way as...

    WONDERLAND MUSIC STORE reviews and news!!!

    Hardly. I pointed out some editing errors. Fritz and Pierre swap places inexplicably. Just after the War Chant, there is a very obvious and poorly-done edit. At 14:33, just after Jose says "ooh, papa!" (well I think that's what he's saying) there is a cross-fade of two different mixes. The...

    Question about CAMARATA and the Tiki Room album Rerelease on CD

    Well one noticeable edit is at the point he speaks of. Two different versions are cross-faded together just before that. Hawaiian War Chant is the complete one from WDWF, with the principle cast in mono, and the DLF version with the cast in stereo (but cut into two parts) picks up after that...

    Question about CAMARATA and the Tiki Room album Rerelease on CD

    Nope. I can't find anything new. The mix is subtly different (and has a few editing flubs), but otherwise it's absolutely identical to the original Lp, and the original show. That's Michael, the Irish bird. It's always been there. Well, I'm not sure it's still in the current version at...

    The Singing Harp Has Returned to Happy Valley (Long)

    I think I have both of those on my hard drive. I'll have to check it out, but I do believe you are right. They are, for the most part, the same recording, one with Jiminy and one without. Only listened to them once, so I didn't realize that it was the same music for the Jungle Cruise. No...

    The Singing Harp Has Returned to Happy Valley (Long)

    I have heard of the existence of such a disc, but alas - I have been unable to obtain a copy. :-[ I've heard all about the extras and alternate takes on it as well. I believe that a few of the tracks I have came from it. (I did not include them all in the 34th Anniversary set, but edited down...

    The Singing Harp Has Returned to Happy Valley (Long)

    Well, my observations are based only on three CDs. My quips apply only to those made from actual ride audio. If the others that were only studio-made Lps turn out anything like the Jungle Cruise, which was a studio recording, with no ride audio - they should sound fantastic. GG

    The Singing Harp Has Returned to Happy Valley (Long)

    Thank you - you summed up in one paragraph the idea I've been trying to convey for two days of posts. *IF* I had all the loops and narration, already restored, pre-mixed and ready to go, then yes, it's simple to assemble a re-creation of the Lp in just a day or two. Now, The Haunted Mansion...
