Note: I utilized the LaLaLand release for a large part of this release which I did some minor corrections and re-arranging to.
First, the minimal corrections: I fixed that pesky crackle in the film mix version of the Main Title (track 1) during the first exclamation of the iconic Batman theme. It was alarming to hear that anomaly originated from my pressed CD (and every MP3/FLAC version I've downloaded for reference since) but I'm happy that it's no longer an issue. Second, for some strange reason, the LLLR version of the track "Jokes Flies to Gotham/Batwing I" fades out at the end while the box set version actually continues on so I faded the LLLR version into the box set version. Due to the disaster the mixing of that album turned out to be, the transplant required some trial and error on the leveling but I think I got it. Surprisingly, that's all I did as far as editing went. Everything else is untouched.
Now for the re-arranging: I was always dumbfounded at why LLLR decided to use an alternate version of the track "Charge of the Batmobile" versus the film mix on the film mixes disc (disc 1) which seemed to defeat their purpose of advertising the "complete film mixes." Their claim is technically true since the film mix is made available but it's instead presented as bonus material which throws the tone off. I decided to use the alternate version as bonus material (track 55) and move the film mix up to the film mix playlist (the track number on my edit is 23).
The complete film mixes consist of tracks 1-30 with tracks 31-66 being the bonus material which includes the complete original 1989 version of the album along with the remaining extras from LLLR's set and the previously unreleased bonus material from the Burton/Elfman collaboration box set (tracks 58-66). In my opinion, those aren't really extras to write home about but it's interesting nonetheless to hear the evolution of a classic in its very early stages. To think Shirley Walker is on board as orchestrator for this. Those of you who have read my rather long-winded geek-outs over her will understand what that means.
Anyway, there is another user that compiled a 69 track version but I did not get to snag it before it went down so I cannot verify what it is missing from my release. My apologies about that in advance. Enjoy!
