I`ve been listening to the War of the Roses/The Sandlot soundtrack from Varese`s CD Club. The track Erector Set from The Sandlot sounds a little bit familiar.

Could it be that they temp-tracked that scene with Jerry Goldsmith`s The Burbs? Or am I recognizing it`s sounds from somewhere else perhaps?

It's TOTALLY from The 'Burbs. This is what annoys me about Newman...he has the skills to write such fine scores, but then you get rudely yanked out by a cue that's a SHOCKINGLY BLATANT knock-off of the temp track. Shame.

Speaking of TS, it would be nice to finally get the complete score instead of a pairing where it leaves off score.

Especially considering how much of the good parts of the score it leaves off. Seriously, what were they thinking?

It looks like LLL is releasing a new edition of THE SANDLOT next week that will be 75 plus minutes!

Shame?! This has been discussed. They would have fired him and gotten somebody else and we'd get no original David Newman music, or Joel McNeely music, etc etc. I'm happy they did what it took to keep working and be able to write mostly their own stuff, instead of the job being passed on to somebody who could adapt temo but do nothing original in addition to that.

Score feels kind of naked without the songs used in the movie, but what the hey, licensing issues and all that mumbo jumbo.

I always thought the more obvious temp-tracking example in "The Sandlot" was Thomas (being forced into?) borrowing from cousin Randy's "The Natural," to score a big, important, slo-motion baseball scene.

Do we know? Is that actually what happened?

Or is it one of those "safe to assume" things . . .

I'm just happy that we're finally getting the trailer music from True Lies (pre-action parts). It's two different cues (The Legend and Following The Dog or something like that).

Thought so. I know I have "The Sandlot" around here, somewhere. Gotta clean up, as usual.

Shouldn't have volunteered a reply, if I was gonna type "Thomas" instead of "David" anyway. I hope I won't make THAT mistake again.

Thanks for the link.

Haha no worries. Sorry if I sounded curt! Love the anecdotes in the liner notes, especially how Newman is self-avowedly in love with the Lydia (sharp 4) mode! It's so distinctive.

So, finally, thanks to the new LLL edition, we can hear both versions of Erector Set now.
The one where Newman is clearly copying Goldsmith's Burbs (no doubt at the behest of the director or producers) AND the original David Newman inspired version, that went unused, but can be found in the Additional Music section.
I know which version I prefer.
No Shame at all (at least on David Newman's part).

I'm sorry, I don't really hear the burbs when I listen to the cue. I mean, some of the synth patches (like the whistling sound) sound like they come from the Goldsmith library but that's about it.

Is "Erector Set" the cue that starts with the scratchy violin that's copied almost directly from The 'burbs? If so, that's the part that sounds like The 'burbs.

Yep. It's even got the goofy little synth noise that follows the scratchy violin.
Newman's original take is SO MUCH better.
