So just came across this by accident. No pre announcement of its release. Usually we are aware when an unreleased score is dropping. I dig this score and glad it’s out but... kinda weird, no? Doubt apple would allow a bootleg right?

What do you mean? There was always a soundtrack for TRUE ROMANCE.

Do you have a link?

It is just the score... sorry not savvy enough post a link but it is on the US iTunes site.

Funnily enough I was browsing through itunes and up popped Zimmer's House of the Spirits as a new release.

Just taken a look and yes, True Romance is showing
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/true-romance-original-motion-picture-score/1310599297
showing Morgan Creek as the label.

It's not appearing on the likes of Qobuz or 7digital. It is on CDbaby as mp3 files, so I can't see it available losslessly anywhere.

I can see it on Apple Music to stream, but it's not showing in iTunes store (UK) to buy.

Interesting. The copyright noted is Morgan Creek Music Group, which would suggest this is a legitimate release even if it was unceremoniously dropped into the market.

ETA: Whoops, posted nearly the same time as Martin. But I'll leave this up here because I just love the sound of my own voice and YOU ALL SHOULD TOO.

Interesting. I've long wanted a score-only release of this (even if the original album is pretty great), but we would have heard something about it, had it been a legit release. Right?

Maybe James G. Robinson read the ROBIN HOOD thread(s).

Of course it's legit. And it's been out awhile.

Here's a better alternative to iTunes, also losslessly compressed:

Not necessarily. It's not like Morgan Creek has a presence on this board, or a website frequented here. It just took some time for somebody here to notice it.

Charming music. I like it!

Well, if it's all legit, this is a GREAT release. I'll check it out asap. Thanks for the heads-up!

Excellent. Thanks for the heads-up! I shall purchase this now.

I will be extremely honest honest, I don't know who actually handled that release, but they just basically took a bootleg floating over the internet (I wrote that tracklist myself, so I know), and it's missing 3 cues (one very important and 2 shorter ones) and just released it...


I don't call this very professional...

...and it’s not available in Canada.

Nice. Also on Google Play Music at a very reasonable price:

https://play.google.com/store/music/album?id=Beopmvappqji7mi4tpr7iiauppa

Is this Morgan Creek's first digital release?

I hope this is a harbinger of good things to come...

What other Morgan Creek titles are there (I know about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves)?

Could the masters be missing?

How's the sound quality?

The quality of the original files was good (the only problem were the missing cues), so I guess it's ok.


But it's just lazy work, they didn't even bother to search for the original cuesheet or, apparently, the masters...

Oh and I found the cuesheet titles years after I made that tracklist, it should be like that (who knows, maybe that "label" is reading this forum and will consider changing it ! lol) :

Main Title (2:32)
Marry Me (2:48)
Drive To Drexl's (1:06)
Isn't It Romantic? (1:01)
One Favor (1:13)
Dad Saves The Day (2:04)
Roller Coaster Guitars (1:08)
Bama Gets Beaten (1:45)
Airport (1:33)
Mentor (1:12)
Elevator (2:02)
Cops Barge In (0:57)
Final Confrontation (5:59)
End Scene (1:48)

2 of the missing cues are :

Elvis In Bathroom
Drive To Hotel

And the big one is the second part of Bama Gets Beaten, basically a variation of material used in the Final Confrontation...

I always thought Morgan Creek was a film studio, not a record label. So I'll cut them some slack on the 'laziness' in this situation, if they indeed decided to release this from a bootleg presentation.

But that's even worse, they ARE the studio, so they should have access to everything...
