ABOUT THIS RELEASE: In order to present as much music as possible from Batman in the best possible quality, multiple sources were utilized with the best-quality elements selected for each cue on an individual basis. For disc one and the bonus cues on disc two, three sources were used: Eric Tomlinson?s 35mm 4-track mixes, 1/4 inch stereo mixes and a stereo 35mm music only track. The album cues on disc two were sourced from the original digital album master featuring Shawn Murphy?s stereo album mix.

[THE BAT-MAN]

All I can say is,  It's About Time.  Hopefully, la la land records will also release Batman Returns in an expanded archival 2 disc set.

Give it time my friend, give it time.  That is how I "found" the Batman The Animated Series Limited Edition 2 Disc set.  Seriously though, this is cool but you know there are more than 5000 people that would like to have this, so I don't feel sorry for La La Land Records or the record industry in general when this or any other popular item that is produced in limited quantities gets uploaded on the internet for those to download who desire it, but couldn't get it because of some stupid decision of limited quantities.  Please spare me the speeches of the whole collectability of the item, because if this thing retails for $30 bucks, you know it will be sold on Ebay or somewhere else for double the price and La La Land Records is not receiving that money.  So yeah, I doubt I get one through proper channels, but if I happen to "find" one through other means, I won't lose any sleep over the fact that La La Land Records screwed themselves out of a sale.  And if you fellas do the same, then more power to you.

*Don't mind me, I'm just pissed over the whole Hot Wheels Ecto-1/Wonder Woman Invisible Jet exclusives that are only going to be available at the San Diego Comic Con.
