FAMILY GUY - MOVEMENT 1: LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1371
Music by Walter Murphy and Ron Jones
Limited Edition of 5000 Units
RETAIL PRICE: $19.98

AVAILABLE JUNE 21 starting 12 noon (PST) at www.lalalandrecords.com

The first 200 customers who order it through www.lalalandrecords.com will receive a free signed booklet autographed by Ron Jones and Walter Murphy.

Quantities are limited and you are not guaranteed a signed booklet.

La-La Land Records, 20th Century Fox and Fox Music proudly present the world premiere release of orchestral score from the legendary animated FOX television series FAMILY GUY. Composers Walter Murphy (TED 2, TED, AMERICAN DAD!) and Ron Jones (AMERICAN DAD!, STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION, DUCK TALES) have fashioned some of the most exciting and complex orchestral music ever composed and recorded for television. Swing, Jazz, Broadway, Big Band and Film Score genres collide in expressive, colorful bursts that have become a hallmark of this long-running and classic comedy series.

Show creator and performer Seth MacFarlane explains, “Both Ron and Walter played the show as if it were a completely sincere ‘Leave It to Beaver’ or ‘Donna Reed-style’ wholesome comedy. And it just worked really well… (The music) was always the most fun part of the process for me.”

“Seth is really a collaborator,” says composer Walter Murphy. “Most producers and directors really are not that musically astute. Seth is completely up on everything, and reads and writes music himself… We like the same kind of music in film scores.”

“It is always the greatest pleasure and honor to create scores for Seth, Fox and the huge world audience that enjoys ‘Family Guy!’” remarks composer Ron Jones, who hopes fans will find new appreciation for the music on this release. “I think it will be like a fun scavenger hunt. It’s loaded with motifs and little licks and things that are connected.”

Produced by Dan Goldwasser, Walter Murphy and Ron Jones, and mastered by James Nelson, this special, limited edition release showcases suites of some of the finest Family Guy score cues from seasons 1-4, including such long-sought after tracks as the Chicken Fight music from “Da Boom” and the Sperm Wars cue from “Emission Impossible,” among many, many others. Exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer John Takis include new interview comments from the composers and Seth MacFarlane, and the joyful art design by Jim Titus boasts a front cover with original art by one of the show’s animators - commissioned especially for this CD release! This is a limited edition release of 5000 units – and a must for FAMILY GUY fans and any film/TV music enthusiast!

Cool! I'm a big fan of the show, seen all the episodes and I've often noticed the music -- especially in the extended action sequences (the chicken fights and such).

Is this the first time the music has been released? Normally, sitcom music isn't suited for soundtrack release, but this might be an exception -- especially if they've tried to organize the brief material into extended tracks; or otherwise fashioned it for listening. Which it seems they have.

If anybody isn't sure about this and can't wait for the samples, Jones has a bunch at his website:

Fingers crossed more seasons swiftly follow. At four per disc, Movement III is what I'm waiting for - featuring (hopefully) the sublime score from And Then There Were Fewer.

Yes this is the first time that any score has been released from the show. You can get details on ALL official FAMILY GUY releases (all of one score album and two digital singles - so far) here: http://familyguymusic.com

All of the tracks are suites that have been fashioned from the music in each episode, making it as enjoyable a listening experience as possible.

People like this music.
People want to buy this music.
If you don't like this music, don't buy it.

But it's your loss, because it's GOOD music.

The same thing your parents said when you were born, yes?


Ah, the catch is, you're not the "lovable loser" type, you're more the "annoying as f*ck douchebag" type.

And since you're going on the ignore list, I may never know when you're finally banned from the board. Won't matter to me though, since from now on I won't have to see your moronic BS any longer.

Love ya, mean it.


And ya know, take Barry White off your profile. You're an insult to the man's memory. In fact, Barry just came back from the beyond, read a few of your posts, and said " What a douchebag".

I have been wanting this for YEEEEEEEEEARS. The music in the show is fantastic, and has some absolutely great moments. Murphey and Jones consistently knock it out of the park. This is indeed friggin sweet.
And the title includes promise of future volumes? Even MORE frihhen sweet (hopefully the episode with the murder mystery will be there, that was supposedly the biggest TV orchestra ever, as well as one track that I assume was written for the show -- it was like this fight between Herbert and some other old guy)
