Returning to our shelves and perhaps landing on yours as well are two of Intrada’s best-selling expanded editions: Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Chinatown , both top drawer scores by respectively Alan Silvestri and Jerry Goldsmith. Visit us here on Tuesday the 5th and order one, two or maybe even all three of the releases. You’ll be happy you did. Yep… and stay safe.
It's very satisfying to know Roger Rabbit is one of Intrada's best sellers. And that it's back for those who missed out. One of the all-time greats I never get sick of, and I'm still so grateful it was finally expanded.

I never had the original album to begin with and Havent seen the film in nearly 15 years. So my curiosity is quite peaked.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit has some of my favorite 'chill' music out there. Had the Disney CD back in the day and didn't hesitate a minute to grab this one. This set has my highest recommendation!

It's apparently now on Disney+, but if you haven't seen it in fifteen years you might want to be wowed by the Intrada first. It's Silvestri in Back to the Future mode, but with a prominent noir and jazz infusion. Along with just a little cartoon music of course. It is it's own magical character in a film full of old fashioned magic!
What do you think of the score in expanded form v the album?
Fantastic set. The complete score adds more fur to the piece, especially some classic driven Silvestri action in the last act, and a perfect performance by the LSO. I remember feeling giddy that a yank, who's work I loved from the Synclavier days, "made it" to a London Symphony gig.
Happy the album program is present in this case, since it's quite unique, and love (but don't always revisit) the Horner & Broughton solo toon scores.
Wish this stayed in print forever, it's an outstanding package.
What do you think of the score in expanded form v the album?
The C&C presentation is nearly 100 minutes and thoroughly exhausts me. I mostly listen to the album, which is a fine distillation of the best material.
