It's official!
The Walt Disney and the 1964 World's Fair set will hit the streets on March 24, 2009!
Though the date had been advertised on several sites like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, I was hesitant to post until I was absolutely sure the date was going to remain accurate. We received the latest print run and everything looks fantastic. Our first run samples (the first completed products off the line) have also arrived verifying that everything is ready to ship!
I appreciate your patience during the last few weeks (as well as the nearly nine years before that), and I hope you all enjoy this incredible collection!
In other news?
I'm sure you read on the board here that the EMP traveling exhibit "The Music Behind the Magic" has made its way to Hemet, CA. I was there February 6th to open the exhibit and I (and hopefully my engineer Jeff Sheridan) will be returning March 19th for a special presentation on the music from the parks. I'll be talking a bit about the history of three classics ? The Enchanted Tiki Room, it's a small world, The Haunted Mansion, and how Imagineering makes the audio work within the attraction and how I build the tracks for the Official Albums. The program starts at approximately 7pm. Here's the address of The Western Center Museum for all the latest info. There's several other presentations coming up that will interest you as well.

If you're in the area, check out this fascinating museum as well as the "Music Behind the Magic" exhibit. If you can make it to my presentation on the 19th, please come up and say 'Hi.' I'd love to meet you in person!
That's it for now. Sorry I haven't been around lately, I'm working on some pretty fun projects at the moment, and I'll post about those as we get closer to their release date later this year.
Many thanks,
Randy Thornton
