The earlier work of the Jack Davis long version artwork is in our archives. I'll try to post a photo soon.
That would be fantastic! I already knew of Davis from his work on Mad Magazine during the time, and I had his Get Smart poster, too, so I knew it was him. But I was never sure of why there were two parts to the artwork. I always figured the upper portion was created before he had definitive knowledge of the cast or footage.
I'm dying to see it, thank you!
Paul has some very cool items in the collection - he was kind enough to display them at a theatrical showing of the film I presented a couple of years ago.

Ray, could you perhaps tell us how La La Land's release will differ from this release by Kritzerland:
http://www.kritzerland.com/mad.htm
Does the "LP disc" feature dialogue?
The original vinyl LP did not contain dialogue. Ryko re-pressed the LP onto CD with dialogue interspersed between music tracks. (Thanks Ray)
The Kritzerland pressing is from the master tapes used for the album, which was a re-recording of the score specifically made for the album. The Ryko dialogue tracks were not included on this CD. Bonus film cues include sound effects from the movie soundtracks.
The LLL discs are from the original six-track composite soundtrack, so this music is not the re-recording, but the cues as they are heard in the film, sans sound effects.
Someone has probably done an analysis of the film cues vs. the album cues and can explain the differences (arrangements, instrumentation). I imagine it's a bit like the album version of The Great Escape, for example, versus the final Intrada release using the film tracks.
Um, no. Let's spell it out: As stated, the Kritzerland pressing is from the master tapes used for the album - whether LLL used our disc for theirs or went back to the original tapes is unknown to me, although I still had the tapes when they began their journey, so who knows. Our bonus tracks were made the same way as the LLL bonus tracks, from the laserdisc, however we used only bonus cues that were clean, in stereo, and which had great sound. That is the story of the Kritzerland CD.
The LLL disc is not from the original six-track composite soundtrack (at least the implication in your post is that it is - there are no music-only elements on this film - I know this because I went directly to the man who knows such things intimately) - the LLL disc is from the rear channels of the laser disc.
We were offered this same thing by RF and that's all I'm going to say. Nice surprise release date, though, eh?

At the least it will be wonderful to get this MAD WORLD cd with the best sound possible for the sources used, incisive, and bountiful liner notes, and excellent, impressive packaging

My statement was a paraphrase from LLL's original post:
So, we’ve taken an extreme step and used the limited range rear recording angles from the original six-track composite soundtrack. This presented us with both positive and negative aspects of the materials. The positive was that, for the most part, the tracks were music-only.
If there's an issue with this, it needs to be brought up with them. Ray did not correct me on that particular matter, as he had with a couple of other points.
I have no issue with anything - I'm just telling you what was used. You could, of course, call the laserdisc's sound the original six-track composite soundtrack as that's what the laserdisc used. I'm just trying to clarify that no tape was used for this, only the laserdisc. And that's fine.

There IS a difference between the sound on the laserdisc and the DVD. The DVD was mastered in 5.1 Dolby Digital sound, while the laserdisc used a matrixed 2.0 Dolby Surround format (also digital). Whether this difference in the surround information helped facilitate or make better the resultant CD sound, I cannot say.

I guess this title will be delayed to the 1st of April.
There are so many gems out there which are waiting for an offiial release.
Why do we need to get this score twice within a year?
(FYI: I love this score and an my pinion it is well representated on the KRITZERLAND disc.
http://www.kritzerland.com/mad.htm)
I hope we don't get on the next release:
PREDATOR - 3 disc set
Music by Alan Silvestri
Disc one features the complete score as released by VS
Disc two features the complete score as released by INTRADA
Disc three features all the rest which we found from several other sources during the reasearch of this score and which is definitely....
Bullseye!
(or was it bullshit - Sorry but I don't remember)

I'm thrilled. Thank you for putting so much painstaking work into make this a reality. Kritzerland's release was the best there was at the time and I have no regrets. Now I'll get the real deal and be even happier.
