Should WB Include the Secret Soundtrack with Wizard of Oz?

[WickyWoo]

I can tell you exactly why it won't be included

Because Pink Floyd will charge them up the wazoo for it

Bingo!

The only way I see it as a possibility is if Pink Floyd is on the WB record label.

Damn your logic.

Yeah I have always wanted to check this out too. I would be nice if they did, but I don't see it happening.

It would save me the trouble of setting it up manually.

If the Wizard of Oz and 2001 had this,.. I may not need the extra CD player in my equipment rack

Interestingly enough, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) did show The Wizard of Oz with The Dark Side of the Moon soundtrack once a few years back (July 3rd, 2000). It can happen, it just depends on how much money Pink Floyd wants for it.

Speaking of Pink, when the hell is Sony going to release The Wall in HD? The DVD with the PCM soundtrack is amazing, but I need HD!

[CptGreedle]

That is a stupid idea.
No.

I would love to get the Wall on Blu!

And on SACD

I own the SACD but only play it on the PS3...

I need it added into the movie!!

Is the SACD in multichannel? Where can you buy it cause i can't find it on Amazon (except for the live concert).
Please please please give me a link to this. (Being "The Wall" not "Dark Side of the Moon", I have that on SACD already).

[WickyWoo]

People spend way more than that for limited edition DVDs with little extra value except a nice packaging and some collectible cards. I don't see why this shouldn't appeal to maybe 1000 customers to buy an overpriced LE. I'd buy one

You'd probably need at least 10,000 to make it worthwhile

There is no such thing as a 'The Wall SACD'.

There's only the 'DSoTM SACD', the unofficial DVDA and the unofficial DTS/DVDA of 'Wish you were here'.

I found it almost on accident on amazon...seriously...it's there...it has a blue cover instead of black...

come to think of it, I typed in SACD and it was one of the top choices available..

This is something I brought up a while ago that I think would be cool on any BD movie that has an alternate soundtrack.

There are lots of movies that were scored by one composer, only to have it rejected and re-scored by another composer.

Mission: Impossible was originally scored by Alan Silvestri and re-scored by Danny Elfman.

Troy - Gabriel Yared and then James Horner

Alien - Jerry Goldsmith and then mostly replaced by classical music

Legend - Jerry Goldsmith and the replaced by Tangerine Dream

Etc, etc. It would be cool to include the alternate scores on the BD for a different viewing/listening experience.

I think Alien and Legend actually had both scores on the discs. I really wish that the director's cut of Troy had the option to choose between Horner and Yared. I'd choose Yared everytime. Unfortunately they only picked one track by Yared to be in the Director's Cut and it was the worst one. I think it's called Howling Women or something like that... maybe moarning women. As for M:I, Silvestri's score really didn't fit the movie. It was kind of more of a rockish score, where as Elfman's actually felt like the good old M:I stuff.

There's tons more of rejected scores, like Ransom by Howard Shore, King Kong by Howard Shore (though that was never recorded and maybe not even written), Bad Boys II by Mark Mancina (that was more him just dropping out after he was told he couldn't use his original themes or he had to alter them)... It sucks.

I completely agree with you about Yared and Silvestri's scores, but that's also why I think it would be a great feature - you could have the option to watch the movie with the score you prefer (and how many people ever get to actually here these rejected scores?). I mean, they give us alternate cuts, and you can never find anyone cut that EVERYONE agrees is superior, so I'm sure an alternate audio track with the rejected score would stir up just as much interesting conversation.

Yes, there's no doubt that they'd want royalties. And they deserve royalties and should get royalties. But think how well this could potentially sell. We know how well Dark Side sold as a vinyl LP. If you dig the music, you can get it here in a high definition audio format, and with a bonus movie.

If you dig the movie, then you can get it here with a high definition visual format, and with an alternative sound track.

This is what Blu-ray is made for. Right?

It's win / win / win for Warner, for the band, and for their record label.

I don't know how the contracting works when they show it on TV, but a few years ago A&E showed The Wiz and on the SAP setting they had DSOM synced up.

Quote "I own the SACD but only play it on the PS3..."

Lucky for me the gear rack consists of my Receiver, the PS3, and a SACD player so I still am in the pink.

If only Meddle was on SACD for the 2001 thingie. Honestly I bought 2001 on DVD and upgraded it to Blu Ray and I don't think I've ever watched more then the last segment with the Echoes sync. Someday,.. I may watch the actual movie.
