Has anyone seen any details about this one. Except for the cover, I haven't seen anything as far as details on this release. I wonder if they finally found the vocal for "Little Wooden Head" as I remember reading that they couldn't find when they did the last CD.

Here's the cover by the way

The Disc 1 track list seems to be the same as the last CD (though it doesn't make it clear if the Little Wooden Head vocal is restored). Aside from the missing vocal, is there any missing music on this one. I'm also surprised they didn't include the "I'm a Happy Go Lucky Fellow" song that was written for this film, but ended up in Fun and Fancy Free.

@ TacktheCobbler - Thxs for the update. I wasn't really expecting anything new. Or at least I didn't have my hopes up. The big question. Does it sound any better than the previous release? Considering the age of the recording that would be a long shot unless they found better masters.

I was just listening to my 1992 PINOCCHIO CD and contemplating whether to invest in the Legacy release. As far as finding better masters is concerned, my CD booklet states that the mag units found for the 1992 release were "the oldest first generation Pinocchio soundtrack masters in existence." So, it would seem that the primary reason for upgrade would be the new packaging and the bonus tracks. Unless, of course, a quarter century of advancing audio technology has somehow managed to squeeze something out of those 1950s mag tapes that they couldn't find in 1992.

Thanks for the additional info. Unfortunately I don't hear any noticeable difference between the 1992 release and the Legacy release. Maybe more reverb in the Legacy release. I should have reread the 1992 the booklet. But like you said even if it was the same source, I was holding out hope new technology could improve the recording.

The Legacy release of PINOCCHIO omits a number of cues from the old soundtrack lp. Wonder if they've lost them.

The whole final sequence is gone, starting from Monstro's crashing into the rock wall, up to the final reprise. It has the actual finale, but the sequence of Gepetto's discovery of the lifeless Pinocchio, the mourning sequence back home, the final transformation, and Jiminy Cricket's award of a badge stating "Official Conscience," are all missing.

And, many of the extra Jiminy Cricket songs on CD 2 are interesting, used originally on THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB in the 50's, but they are not the original recordings, but rather taken from lp re-recordings at the time.

I got this recording because I hoped it would have the complete tracks, but sure does not, and the extras are pointless. So I ended up getting rid of it.

So far, the quality of the DISNEY LEGACY collection releases has been so variable that I'm now wary of them, by definition.

Wow, didn't know so much was missing. frown I may have to track down the LP again. Got rid of mine went it was released on CD.

I know this goes against conventional wisdom but I also want Monstro's attack with the sound effects heard on the LP. It's how I heard it most of my life and it just seems odd without it on the CD versions of the score.
