Actually, that might have worked brilliantly David.
I always loved the way Silvestri flowed into the ending of the song Earth Angel, in BTTF, and added a real emotional punch to the sequence.
I like that idea of subverting the known song with unknown music score at the same time.


I have half a mind to re score the scene and try what I'm hearing in my head... Not that I could do better than Bernstein or Landis but it might present a nice compositional challenge. Hmmm...

I'd be very interested to hear your attempt at a song/score meld-down, against the filmed sequence wink

Trust me...this ain't what you want.

The question is why. (Or why not??)


No one at Universal Music Dept knows about this release so I would love to find out who they licensed it from. They are looking into it as well.

Makes sense, MV, thanks for elucidating.

It's out in less than a week.
Are we about to see another 11th hour Studio Stomp ala SLIPSTREAM & ORCA?

If the rights were not cleared or licensed through them, DEFINITELY! Universal is not a company you'd want to play around with when it comes to this sort of thing.

as long as my ordered ex arrives , I don´t care...I got an email that they sent it today so it wasn´t canceled atleast.
It hasn´t been an official release in 40 years, so if this is the way I finally get it, so be it
Slipstream hasn´t gotten a better release either than the one from Preservance, so I´m glad I got that one too.

That's because if it was never officially licensed despite the fact that it was released. I'm sure are posts that talk about this on this site about the situation so I won't repeat it.

It is in the same boat as Music Box's ORCA and Slipstream is a great score that should definitely get an official release one day by somebody. Oh and Varese's Blood In Blood Out by Bill Conti which was legally produced falls into this category but that was a matter of a very late minute title change by Disney due to something that happend at one of the preview screenings before the film was released by the studio prompting the change but the run of Conti's score was already printed with the original title which would've been very costly to Varese to redo everything and sadly didn't get a real "official" release despite copies (I mean the real Varese one not that unmentionable you see on eBay) leaking onto the market over the last 20 plus years. Hopefully, a complete expanded score of that one comes out too.

It does not. Because on the LP you could read MECO from miles away. When you look closely at the photo, you can even read "Original Motion Picture Score" at the top of the sleeve. But I wonder what this will be, because Bernstein's score was - reportedly - only a couple of minutes long.

The score is about 8 to 10 minutes in length.

Well I got the CD through as part of the UHD package. It definitely sounds like a spruced up bootleg.
The whole thing runs about 26 minutes and that's including the songs and brief dialogue intro.
Its kinda weird cause it doesn't sound as if its just recorded from the film as the music is 'clean' but the sound quality is definitely sub-par with a couple of moments sounding mono.
It also makes you realise that there's really not much of a score to release here. Even if the short tracks were worked into a suite it would be very 'bitty' sounding due to the nature of the short cues (one of the cue's is 10 seconds!) There's no alternates here and the 'metamorphisi' cue isn't there ( you've seen the track list on the cd posted previously above.. nothing is hidden.)
If it is unlicensed as folk have been hinting you wonder why they didn't just go the full hog and put in the 'bad moon rising' song anyway.
So I'm happy enough to have it as an extra as part of the package (.. and a damn fine package it is for a fan of the film!) but would have felt pretty unhappy if I'd paid all that money just to get it.

There was a DVD released 15 years ago that had the instrumental score playing over some stills without any soundeffects, Someone took that, made a bootleg and that is probably what this is too as it was spliced up exactly like this release is.
I have the BD shipped to me (will get it tomorrow) but IF a label will release this in true form including all the songs and Bernsteins unused music, I will ofcourse buy it anyday.

The DVD suite included around half of the score used in the film (the most notable omissions being the cues composed for the scenes with Jack as a corpse). That suite had passable sound, but it definitely wasn't remastered, nor did it sound first generation to be honest.

My impression from the above post is that the source of the DVD suite (a sessions tape?) is what was used for this CD, but this time not omitting any cues (but also not including any unused or alternate cues). My guess is that what we all want is still in the Universal vaults.

The titles are lengthwise the same as the bootleg and nothing new is on this disc. The songs are credited to the studio who owns each song but it does not have Bad Moon Rising thou.

Is the sound quality of all of the score cues consistent? Do they all sound like they came from the same source (i.e. the previously unreleased Jack music sounds as good as the music that first appeared on the DVD suite)? And does that source sound like an old sessions tape or something cleaner?
