Playlist Mickey Avenue

[wedroy1923]

Has any additional information been assembled for the Mickey Avenue loop, particularly how the tracks are edited?

As mentioned in previous posts, a lot of this loop resembles the Morning & Afternoon Front Lot loop at Walt Disney Studios Paris, which needmagic, eyore, and I have been working on. I am wondering if the remaining "Unknown" in the Mickey Avenue loop is "Runaway Car" from A Goofy Movie Motion Picture Soundtrack.

I'll pull the recording and let you know.

i checked and it IS runaway car from a goofy movie soundtrack. anyone find the version of "funny girl" cues that are used in this loop?

The group of us working on the WDS Front Lot loop believe the "Funny Girl" selections are by Orchestra of the Americas. The track appears on two CDs: Evergreen and Aspects Of Fiddler On The Roof, Funny Girl, George M!, Mame, Man Of La Mancha, Oliver!, Kiss Me Kate. I bought the Evergreen version which sound right, but I've not yet figured out the edit.

Has the version of Funny Girl been nailed down, yet? I took the short sample from Sonic Image's official site for the "Evergreen" CD, and while it does appear to include a portion of the segment featured in the loop, it does NOT appear to match. The version in the loop is played much faster than the "Evergreen" recording.

EDIT: When I say it doesn't match, I'm referring to the Mickey Avenue loop, NOT the WDSP Front Lot loop.

Thanks to a certain someone, I was able to compare the Orchestra of the Americas version to the Mickey Avenue reference recording and while it is the correct arrangement, it does NOT match. Nor do any of the following versions match either:

• 101 Strings Orchestra, on the CD Broadway Favorites
   MP3 
  
• Broadway Theatre Orchestra, on the CD Showstoppers Vol. 4
   iTunes   MP3 
  
• Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, on the CD A Fifth of Broadway
   CD 
  
• Richard Hayman Symphony Orchestra, on the CD Vintage Broadway
   CD   iTunes   MP3 

I also found listings for an Orlando Pops Orchestra version but from listening to the various samples of it available on-line, it appears to be identical to the 101 Strings Orchestra version above. Odd!

The version used in the Mickey Avenue loop is performed at a much faster pace than anything I've found thus far.

Another dumb track that we'll spend countless hours trying to track down instead of doing more productive things. WDI, cough up the playlists already!

I seemed to have purchased the overture track from the OST (otherwise, I have no idea why its on my hard drive), but it doesn't seem to match, nor does the broadway version (Ray Stark Presents Funny Girl, Original Broadway Cast).

 

[thx99]

The Funny Girl track is definitely not any of the "Overtures". It's consistent with the Richard Hayman-arranged piece that's referred to as some variation of "Funny Girl (Selections)" or "Funny Girl - Medley".

As my hunt continues, I found this intriguing CD listing on Amazon yesterday afternoon:

Film and TV Themes, Vol. 3
Various Artists
 CD 

Unfortunately, I can't find any sample of the Funny Girl track for comparison purposes. I know it's a shot in the dark, but does anyone happen to have this CD?

 

[needmagic]

As we've already established there are a number of tracks that also play in the am Frontlot loop at WDS. DLP provided a listing which lists the track as Funny Girl Medley but includes no associated album - not sure if it helps?

I know I spent many hours trying to track down the track with no joy. I wonder if the track is possibly two tracks mixed together ... Laura from the pm Frontlot loop being an example. Just a thought?

 

[needmagic]

An update. I ran my live recording through Soundhound (I didn't have the app when I made the reference recording) which has identified the track from the album "Hollywood Favourites" by the Xalapa Symphony Orchestra - album date of 1995. I've ordered from Amazon so fingers crossed.

Excellent, needmagic!! Please let us know if it does in fact match the version used in one or both the two loops. (The only samples I could find on-line for this recording begin just after the segment heard in the Mickey Avenue loop.)

Thanks a million, needmagic! The WIP Playlist has been updated.

 

[Horizons]

How much is this track going to cost me?

 

[Dr. Know]

Really makes you think that WDI goes out of its way to find the most obscure recordings for these loops just to drive us all mad!

 

[thx99]

Mickey Avenue has been added to the Playlists section. Thanks for everyone's efforts with getting this finalized!
