WHAT DO A BAT, A WOLVERINE AND A GHOST IN TIGHTS HAVE IN COMMON?

THEY ARE ALL COMING TO SAN DIEGO WITH LA-LA LAND FOR COMIC-CON 2012!

LA-LA LAND RECORDS ANNOUNCES ITS WORLD PREMIERE 2012 COMIC CON TITLES

AVAILABLE AT THE CON – JULY 12-15 (PREVIEW NIGHT JULY 11)
SAN DIEGO CONVENTION CENTER - BOOTH 429 at TOY HUNGRY


Burbank, CA-based La-La Land Records is proud to announce its annual pilgrimage to Comic Con 2012 with the world premiere of four limited edition CD soundtracks:

BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES: VOL 1 (Second Edition)

Back by popular demand, La-La Land has re-issued its 2008 sold-out title for the legions of BTAS fans who missed out on this dynamite release's initial debut. This "second edition" re-issue is virtually identical to the 2008 version, except the bonus tracks "Gotham City Overture" and "Music of the Bat" have been removed to preserve the integrity of the initial release. Get it before it sells out – again! Limited Edition of 5000 Units.
Comic Con price $25

BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES: VOL 2 (4-CD SET)

Literally years in the making, La-La Land proves the wait was worth it with this amazing 4-CD set of previously unreleased music from arguably the greatest animated television series of all time! The set's 36 page booklet is packed with in-depth liner notes that take you through a treasure trove of astounding orchestral scores; music that rivals any blockbuster feature film. Composers Shirley Walker, Harvey R. Cohen, Carlos Rodriguez, Lolita Ritmanis, Michael McCuistion, Carl Swander Johnson and others are musically represented here, as well as Danny Elfman's iconic theme. Limited Edition of 3500 Units.
Comic Con price $60

X-MEN 2: X MEN UNITED (2-CD SET)

Finally, John Ottman's stupendous X2 score gets its much-deserved deluxe treatment, remastered and expanded with a 2-CD presentation that offers more than 50 minutes of music beyond the original 2003 soundtrack release. Improved sound and exclusive, in-depth liner notes take this noteworthy score to new superheroic heights! Limited Edition of 3500 Units.
Comic Con price $25

THE PHANTOM

Likewise, David Newman's majestic score to the 1996 feature film of the same name gets remastered and expanded in deluxe fashion, running almost a full 30 minutes longer than the original '96 soundtrack release. This is a big, classic film score that covers all the bases (action, thrills, romance) in high style! Like all La-La Land limited editions, this release features in-depth, exclusive liner notes and attractive packaging design. Limited Edition of 3000 Units.
Comic Con price $20

The above titles will be exclusively available July 12-15th (and on Preview Night July 11) at Comic Con from La-La Land Records (Booth 429 "Toy Hungry").

All four titles will subsequently be released at www.lalalarecords.com (and other online soundtrack boutiques) on July 19th, 1pm PST.

In addition to these wonderful new releases, La-La Land will be offering at its Comic Con booth (#429 "Toy Hungry") the usual assortment of exciting soundtrack titles, with many worthwhile specials and deals to be had.

Also, we will be discussing some of our upcoming soundtrack releases, including USED CARS music by Patrick Williams with unused music by Ernest Gold, GREEN LANTERN: THE ANIMATED SERIES music by Frederik Wiedmann, STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE (4-CD SET) music by various composers, THE BODYGUARD music by Alan Silvestri and BLACK RAIN (2-CD SET) music by Hans Zimmer.

Looking forward to meeting and greeting you all in San Diego!

I am so grabbing the Batman volumes (I missed vol. 1 the first time around), will have to wait on X2 and the Phantom due to funds.

[Gotham Knight]

x2 sounds great, but the recording sessions have already leaked

[The Dark Knight]

I don't have either Volume 1 or Volume 2 from TAS, so I'll be wanting to order both.

[Paul (ral)]

Anyone want to have a go at adding this story to our news section and maybe to our Facebook feed.

If not, I can do it later tonight when I get to a PC.

[Azrael]

I gave it a go, citing Film Score Monthly as the source (gordonblu's post originated from there). I hope I didn't do anything wrong this is it's not on FB yet. If you want to change or repost it, it's alright

[gordonblu]

Yeah, I should have mentioned where I read it.

I was just over at FSM and MV said they were already planning a volume 3 ( which will include music from Robin's Reckoning and Clock King), and will eventually do a Superman set! I hope the first Toyman episode is featured, The killer Rubber Ducky was one of my favorite cues (and scene) from that show.

[Paul (ral)]

Thanks SilentEnigma! I shared it on Facebook and twitter

I had been wondering what would be on this release, and I'm ecstatic to see that all of the episodes I was hoping to be on here were!

[gordonblu]

My copies arrived today with a surprise bonus! Vol. 1 autographed by Lolita Romanis and Michael McCuistion; Vol. 2 by the same AND Carlos Rodriguez! I've only had one other autographed CD before and that was Bubba Ho-Tep by Brian Tyler and Director Don Coscarelli. This especially made my day!

Oh and if anyone is interested, Intrada announced a 2-disc Shadow release by Jerry Goldsmith:
