Because who the hell would want this music on CD, am I right?

Still, nice surprise.

Really? There's actually demand for that? Not sure I believe that...

Switzerland?

Huh, I guess Silvestri must have scored the original cut of the film before the original ending and the Tracy Ullman character were cut.

Here's a link to the CD: https://varesesarabande.com/collections/cd-club-and-limited-editions/products/alan-silvestri-death-becomes-her-the-deluxe-edition-cd

And yes, we found the music for the original ending. It took some sleuthing as naturally it wasn't on the final mix reels.

And here's the full press release, which reveals that the CD edition contains 4 additional bonus tracks that are not on the vinyl edition:


DEATH BECOMES HER: THE DELUXE EDITION (CD)
UPC: 888072423480
Release Date: 10/7/2022
Regular price $ 19.98


From the storied collaboration of Robert Zemeckis and Alan Silvestri (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, Contact, The Polar Express) comes the devilishly fun 1992 horror–comedy score, Death Becomes Her.

Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn star as a feuding movie star and novelist, (with Bruce Willis caught in the middle as a plastic surgeon), as a miracle potion offering eternal youth goes off the rails: it continues to work even after death, allowing for ghoulish and groundbreaking visual effects as the characters try to maintain appearances despite their bodies being hopelessly mutilated.

Alan Silvestri’s score captures, as always, a perfect sense of the film’s tone: grand yet wry, large-scale and symphonic for the supernatural drama, but with a lighthearted touch of the macabre. Particularly noteworthy is a Devilish fiddle for the Faustian bargain the characters make with immortality.

“I always loved this idea,” says Silvestri in a new interview with Al Kaplan for this release, “while the world is unraveling, the Devil is just quietly sitting on a wine barrel or some such thing and just kinda fiddling along while everybody just shows up. There was something about the greed, all of these human qualities, the vanity…and the idea that, ‘Ah, the Devil’s just sitting there. He’s got nothing but time.’”

Death Becomes Her was released by Varèse Sarabande in a 16-track, 35-minute album at the time of the film. This Deluxe Edition CD expands the program to 27 tracks and over 51 minutes, with new liner notes by Al Kaplan.

Limited to 2000 copies.

Varese's site says this is sold out. If that's true, that was really fast. Wow! Glad I got my order in.

So is this shipping?
