Got mine last week, and I really appreciate the remastering. That MCA LP was so poorly pressed. What a treat to have it so clean on CD. Thanks, Varese. This was a holy grail. Grusin at his best.

I just went through the entire album and the amount of dialogue over Dave Grusin's wonderful music comes out to roughly 3 minutes and 32 seconds of a 41 minute album.

And c'mon, people... that's 3 minutes and 32 seconds of a 77 year-old Henry Fonda bitching about old age and death.

I would buy an ENTIRE CD of just that.


For me, I would happily take a release with the music separated PROVIDED this album program were also part of it. This is a perfect, PERFECT album, as far as I'm concerned. The dialogue (or dialog as MCA prefers) is such beautiful prose that it's a delight to have it interwoven with the music. Granted, there are releases on which it annoys me, but this is definitely not the case.

BRAVO, Varèse, for releasing this lovely album program along with THE CHAMP. Bring on the Grusin!

Quick question: Does an album exist of ON GOLDEN POND without the dialogue?

(I haven't read through this thread yet, nor other GOLDEN POND threads, so sorry if it's been answered earlier...the thread is old anyway).

drivingmissdaisy while at Varese reported that the composer would not go for it.

There was an On Golden Pond bootleg CD in one of the recent sales Lukas ran - no idea if it was just an LP version on CD, or not. I wonder who ended up with that one?

This is part of no series. USUALLY every Wednesday Varese announced an upcoming title. We've been doing this for almost 2 years now, called What's New Wednesday, then changed to NEW MUSIC WEDNESDAYS. For Club and Limited Editions and We Hear You we announce those at different times. This is a straight re-issue of the old MCA album and nothing could be changed so our album cover is identical to the old album. Go to Varese's website and listen to a bunch of audio samples. I believe there are 8 out of the 10 have samples! Glad people are happy with this, been wanting this for decades! smile

Listen To The Audio SAMPLES: https://www.varesesarabande.com/products/on-golden-pond


You guys should start a HERE'S A CONTI TITLE FOR HENRY WEDNESDAYS!wink


Jesus Christ Henry! Give it a rest already!

What's the point on having dialogue on this score???

I'm super grateful that this got released by Varese, but I'm also firmly in the "no dialogue" camp. Both of my parents died of Alzheimer's, and the dialogue here just makes me sad. So I'm left with 4 glorious music-only tracks. Is it too much to hope for a release without the dialogue during my lifetime?
