It’s with great satisfaction that I’m following these new editions and like to ask if you have plans for the following titles:

The Ghost And The Darkness (1996) Jerry Goldsmith
The Mummy (1999) Jerry Goldsmith
The Mummy Returns (2001) Alan Silvestri
Spider-Man (2002) Danny Elfman
Spider-Man 2 (2004) Danny Elfman

Thanks!

This collection is only for the Warner albums.

How big a hand, if any, does he have in LLLR's EAE anyway?

& shouldn't you be posting this on LaLaLand Records' forum rather than Intrada's? :mrgreen:

Well. I don’t post at LaLaLand's forum. And I’ve see Ford Thaxton posts here. And thought he may choose to give me an answer.

I just need the information.

None of the titles you listed are from Warner, so they won't be released in the Expanded Archival Collection from La-La Land.

Then I hope they do the same as they did with The Edge (1997) (Fox) and Extreme Prejudice (1987). Just consider the expanded editions anyway.

It happens a lot when expansions offer nothing more than sloppy bloat and repetition. These scores are made for film and TV, so getting all of it can easily make for a bad album as presented. There are good expansions, but there are also awful expansions.

Bruce, you haven’t even heard the complete Wild Wild West. There is no bloat, there is little repetition. It’s actually got a TON of variety and flows just great. In fact it’s a MUCH more enjoyable listen than the original half hour album.

I'm an Elmer Bernstein fanboy, so Wild Wild West is one expansion that I had to pounce on. There are some additional cues that I will love to use for my own album configuration, so it's at least better than those expansions which offer nothing new that is of interest.

One thing I was never thrilled about with Wild Wild West is the sound of the actual recording. It sounds like it was recorded in a dank cave.
