Can I just ask something, and I am not knocking the CD, I love it and thank you to all that was involved in getting it produced.

However, the scene where the Joker gatecrashes in Vickis apartment, Beatuiful Dreamer is playing on his Goons getto-blaster.

Surley this is not the original Beatiful Dreamer, and was actually conducted by Elfman for this scene?

I say this because when Bruce makes his appearence there is a tune, like a flutter from a flute - then a 'dum dum dum dum dum' from a bass. This accompanies the moment perfectly and seems either seperate from Beatiful Dreamer, but still with keeping to the tune, or incorporated into the track in this scene.

Surely this is not part of the original Beautiful Dreamer? And if not then this small segment is missing from the new CD?

Elfman did not conduct the score.  Shirley Walker did.

Also that cue, as the notes mention, is indeed a previously recorded version of Beautiful Dreamer and not composed for Batman.

Here it is on YouTube: 

Thanks for your response. Fair enough if it is a previously recorded version. However, what about the additional flutter from the flute and the bass I described? Is that in the previously recorded version?

Great write up Ral!!! Agree with everything you say mate. I love this score and am glad it has finally got the release it deserved. Well doe to La La.

Great pic!!

Is the cowl from the finale? The left ear (rhs) looks split at the top where it was in the film, and its damaged over the left eye?

Then again it could just be from wear and tear!!

I gave the CD 4 stars out of 5.

I dont want to sound like I am complaining, because I am not. La La Land have give us Batman 89 fans something we have been wanting for a long long time, and I give them a lot of credit and appreciation for that!

However, I found the sound quality of some of the tracks not the best. This is the reason why I give the CD 4 stars. Also, does anyone find it strange there are no pictures of the Joker, or Vicki Vale in the 20 page booklet?

Apart from this the CD is great, they have covered everything score wise for Batman and more! Finally I am over the moon to have the complete score to this classic film. 

I started listening to mine last night while laying in bed - in the dark! lol Just like I used to with the original release when I was 15!

Was great, just up to the axis and chemicals track. Will listen to some more tonight!

Glad you got yours Ral! 

No I didn't get it yet Joker81. Hopefully it will arrive very soon then.

You'll get it tomorrow I'd guess! 

Why do I have to live abroad? I can't wait to see this thing! 

Ral, I just recieved my CD today!!! Did you get yours today??

If not it shouldnt be too long buddy! This is so exciting, I haven't listened to it yet!!

Amazing! I would love that suit.....

This should be good!!

And I agree, this is the live action film they should have made instead of Batman Begins!
