Just putting this out there, I wonder what label will eventually bring us Thomas Newmans 80s score to The Lost Boys will this little gem ever see the light of day as a official release

I would say this is La La territory. Just don't expect the songs.

Don't we already have the songs? Although the "background vocals only" version of Cry Little Sister like in the film would not go amiss.

Can't see why not, Black Rain and The Golden Child has original album contents. I believe MV said sometimes to sell it they have to release the original album and treat the score CD as bonus materials (when often it is the opposite way around for collectors)...

If it's Intrada, yes I believe it would just be the score (with possibly Cry Little Sister backing vocals)

If we did it we would try and do the whole shebang. It's an iconic soundtrack from the '80's that deserves a deluxe treatment

Yeah, the songs play a pretty big part in the film, IMHO.

Yes there's the "unmentionable" out there and it has the score intertwined with the Original Soundtrack of songs. I so want to be able to replace this with an official release on day. MV I certainly hope you guys do this because in my mind La-La Land is the only clear label of choice us fans would want to release this iconic 80's movie score. In recent years, my LLR orders have far exceeded any other label. KUDOS!!!!

One of my very first CDs!

The "preparing the house" cue from the score is especially awesome and follows the time-honored tradition of Newman 80's scores where songs dominate the soundtrack but he gets to let loose with a nice "getting ready for the final showdown" montage a la REAL GENIUS.

Whomever does it, I hope that they do include those haunting variations on “Cry Little Sister.”

Yes, Gerard McMann's Cry Little Sister is as much a part of the score as any Thomas Newman composed track. And arguably even more so then Newman's To The Shock of Miss Louise. (Which is the most often piece of music in film; I remember my friend Raoul counted it 37 times appearing in the film!)

Accidentally, Cry Little Sister got a damn lot of air play on Dutch radio back in the days. A then-famous disc jockey appointed it the Record of the Century (that being last centurysmile) and spun it every week! Which is exaggerating of course, I had it on my playlists only once a month. I should have never let him hear it big grin

I still haven't seen the film, and I never liked the sole score cue on the album. Is the rest of the score in typical 80s Newman style?

Have a nosey on youtube, there's number of score clips uploaded by users for the film. Can't say I have heard any of Newman's 80's stuff other than this...

Well, you should really take a listen to his 80s stuff, like this one:

PS: I like your favorite composers! :-D

Yes,
It's a kick-ass song soundtrack
Part of my "first 100 titles"
Deluxe treatment featuring more of Thomas Newman's score is long overdue!
I love that "To The Shock Of Miss Louise" carnival cue.

I would definitely buy it.

You'll never hear “La Cucaracha” the same way ever again…

I remember reading an interview with an older composer who had visited Newman in his studio in 1987. TN had stated he was "burnt out", and the older composer meant it was because he did too much "solitary thinking" in his studio, with his synthesizers and computers. I remember I had to laugh a bit. The modern way of composing was clearly not understandable for everyone...
