Re:A Musical History of Disneyland ? The Facts
Sorry, don't mean to take away Randy's microphone, but here are some more answers:
- Yes, the Inner Space music was recorded in stereo!
-No, they are not using any of those tired old Forever tracks. We got lucky and WD Records splurged on new transfers/mixes. These are definetly new ride-thru's (i.e. Natures Wonderland (you will not believe how good the stereo Rainbow Caverns music sounds), Mansion, Inner Space, Small World, etc.
-Yes, the AA shows are all complete (America Sings, all 3 Country Bears).
-America the Beautiful is the 67 score which was the very first Circle-vision show. (previous shows were circarama, and trust me, only hardcore fans would want those)
-Fantasyland dark-rides are the 80's new Fantasyland versions. The original 50's versions used mostly film soundtrack elements. That is why Snow White is not here. The ride still utilizes film-music elements.
-The Golden Horseshoe Review has been restored even further and sounds GREAT.
-The Haunted Mansion Holiday is the first version of the soundtrack so it's completely different music than the CD that was already released. Yeah!
-The Tiki Room is the WDW version called "Under New Managment"....... just kidding!!!
-Small World is the 60's version (not the Paris version!)
-I don't remember if the original Country Bears was recorded in stereo or mono. I seem to remember that the music was recorded mono, but I could be wrong. Maybe Randy's upcoming "answers" post will clarify that. Regardless, we have a very short time left to wait for this release! Can't wait....

PS: Randy made some great choices here. I know not everything you'd ever wanted will be here (i.e. Parades and shows) but that would have to be like a 100 CD set. The best part is that we get all the musical attractions which has always been my favorite part of Disneyland.
