Would it be possible for you to do a 320k version too?
Thank you very much.

No. I only do FLAC uploads now.

Thousand thanks for this gem :) Finally this masterpiece by Hans Zimmer is out as official release :) Cheers :)

Holy shit, it's time!

Link Added! Enjoy Guys!

Good work thxs again

Raping MEGA starts.

^ Haha XD

Much, much appreciated! Thanks! :D This should sate me until my copy arrives next week :D

OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU SOO SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

A BIG THANKS for this much awaited edition.

thank you hack3rman :)

Thanks for sharing this epic collection!

AAH!! THANK YOUUU!!! :) this is awesome!

many thanks hack3rman

Thank you so very much! Amazing share.

What a nice surprise ! Thanks a lot :)

ITS A MIRACLE!!!! Thank you!!!!

It's clipped compared to previous releases, but it's still awesome, and the mix sounds more dynamic too!

Friday, Friday, Friday, PLEASE AMAZON!

Fascinating. The Film version of Stampede's actually a combination of the original and demo recordings!

Thank you!!

hack34man, can you please add the .cue files and scans (if possible).

thanks

THANK YOU !!!! BEST DISNEY SCORE :=)

THANK YOU!!!!! ASOMBROSO APORTE!!!!!

Oh, there's all sorts of little odds and sods! We still don't have the film version of track 2, but it's no big loss. On the other hand, it's fascinating seeing Zimmer's original intentions and it leaves you wondering why they weren't kept: a lot of the stuff here doesn't even appear as it does on the album! The last track, for instance, is remarkedly different in its choral arrangement!

Stampede makes me cry. I think maybe the Instrumental Demo for Circle of Life was supposed to be The Lion in the Moon song, possibly. Probably not. But that's what that song was supposed to sound like, a dreamier version of Circle of Life.

No. I only do FLAC uploads now.

No problem mate.
Will do the converting by myself.

Thank you very much for the great upload.

If the rumours of the FYC existence are true, then this release means the FYC no longer has any value as we now have everything. It's definitely an earlier version. And as I said before, the film sound mixers were clearly combining demo cues with the originals: the demo Circle of Life contains the exact interlude the film does. That being said, the film chorus mix for many of the cues is still preserved on the sessions.

Thanks for sharing this one! ;)

I noticed variations too in the track Stampede....excellent variations by the way !! So intense this track.... :)
I just order my CD on Amazon ;) but I will keep sessions posted by Scorepranos.... Now, the Lion King score is COMPLETE !!

Thank you

Where's Mufasa's song 'To Be King', and the 'Be Prepared Reprise', and 'The Lion in the Moon' song (which I'm very interested to listen to....) Just pointing this out. I'm so happy with this release. No complaints here.

Also, even if we have everything from the FYC, you and I better team up in a bid for it, because I think there's stuff on there that needs to be heard. Even if you don't believe that, I will be dropping some big bucks on that some day. If it EVER wants to appear. I think it will now, at least...more easily. One person on Soundtrackcollector claims to have the FYC, but he's private, so oh well.

I think I'm gonna keep the sessions too, no harm. But yeah, after 20 years it's complete.

The only one that was anywhere near completion was the Be Prepared Reprise (I have heard a version that was further along than the one that appears with the Madness of King Scar scene, though it was moved earlier in the film). If I had to guess, I'd say that it doesn't actually exist in useable form any more. it was, after all, a ditched song. Warthog Rhapsody gets a free pass because the stems were preserved thanks to its appearance in Rhythm Of The Pride Lands.

I used to listen to sessions version of the score for so many years now...but I can't wait to discover all this Legacy Collection's version ;)

Yeah, I understand. I mean the reprise would be really nice to have in clean stereo quality (like Circle of Life) but I doubt that they would re-release the Lion King or any of these collections again...maybe if they do the sequels it could happen, but I doubt it because Be Prepared has nothing to do with the sequels. Unsettling that The Lion in the Moon didn't make it to this release, I'd love to hear it. Then again, it probably was a poor song, because it was ultimately cut from the film.

more like one year..

Nope.... I really mean "many years", because we already had a complete score, same version as Scorepranos posted... It was the same tracks, with bad quality, and different order.

Oh. Interesting. I always thought those were from different sources. I'm pretty sure they are, right?

Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot!

Oh. Interesting. I always thought those were from different sources. I'm pretty sure they are, right?

Yes, it was from a botched DAT tape rip from over a decade ago. The scorepranos version was the best quality version until this one came along. They couldn't even get the order right!

This is great. Thanks!

Well, in the last Finale track we won't have that hissing sound around the 10 minute mark, anymore! :) Some of these demos remind me of 8-bit Lion King video game music. Lol.

thank you so so much

Fantastic, I've always loved the film mix of Circle of Life

Oh. Interesting. I always thought those were from different sources. I'm pretty sure they are, right?

Yes, it's certainly a different source, but musically, it was the same... trust me ! ;) For having listen to it so many many many time...I'm pretty sure too.

Here is the first complete version I got in November 2006 : LION KING bootleg (http://mysoundtracks.kazeo.com/zimmer-hans-%2825-scores%29/zimmer-hans-%2825-scores%29,r103544-3.html)
The problem with this version : track title no correspond to what we can hear...

Fantastic, I've always loved the film mix of Circle of Life

Sadly, the film makers didn't make it that easy: while the interlude is from the demo, the chorus is placed over it so I'd still need to use film rip if I were to make a film version of that cue.

Sonna bitch!!! Well when I finally find the time to rip my Blu-ray (I'm in the middle of moving and things are getting hectic), you can work on it ;)

They Have Finally Included the Hula Song With Timone And Pumba During the Fight! :awsm:

Wow, thanks a lot!

They Have Finally Included the Hula Song With Timone And Pumba During the Fight! :awsm:

Great !!! I didn't know :)

Do we have the Film Version of Life Is Unfair, Isn't It, named here "02. Didn’t Your Mother Tell You Not to Play With Your Food (Score)" ?

Great !!! I didn't know :)



Its Been Incorporated In To The Last Track (Disc 1) It Starts Off Score Then Just Appears I Was Really Suprised!

Oh. Interesting. I always thought those were from different sources. I'm pretty sure they are, right?

No, they were both from similar DAT tapes. The difference was that scorepranos' copy was actually ripped properly.

Edit: I see a couple people already beat me to it!

"We Are All Connected" is FINALLY a film version too, with variations of score when Simba runs to wake Mufasa... Different version compared to sessions. We absolutely have to keep Legacy's versions, and Sessions's version :) I will...

I actually prefer the version from the sessions to the version from the Legacy collection

I do too, but I love the fact that they finally added the insert that has been missing!

But as for the overall mix, I prefer the sessions version for both of those tracks. The new dynamic mix makes these tracks sound like they are new recordings and a new arrangement.

I just love 1:06 to 1:29 from LK 1M3-2M3. Brought tears to my eyes when I first listened to it in 2005.

First, I also though it was a new recordings and new arrangement... And I was affraid of, because I realized that just after having ordered my copie on Amazon... ;)

It's just amazing, thank you so much!

It does, almost, sound like a new recording, and I like that. But given how orchestra works, I bet they simply chose different takes. I notice that a previous criticism of this score has been that the brass sounds like "toys", yet here it definitely sounds more real. As for the choral work... well, I'd suspect that a lot of the ditched chorus work was in fact reworked for the musical.

Think of it this way: the film and original soundtrack, and by extension the sessions leak, present a prototype mix.

I actually prefer this mix, but as I always do, I'm editing this set to better fit my tastes (not least because the track titles they chose are godawful). I'm including some of the sessions cues on Disc 2 and the original OST (minus Elton John's songs) on disc 3 which should cover the most substantial differences between the album and this release).

Thanks a bunch for this. :)

The woodwind opening of We Are All Connected is definitely a different take.

It is, yes. It actually sounds more like the pan pipes in the sessions/album. Here it sounds more like a standard flute.

I'm betting this album is actually Zimmer's intended version of the score.

GREAT!!! I'll definitely listen to it while I'm waiting for both this and HTTYD2 to come to my humble home... hopefully in a week or two :/

THANK YOU SIR!

It's a new version compared to sessions....anyway it's an excellent version ! Such a pleasure to discover it ;) I will watch the movie on BluRay soon to compare this Legacy edition with what we can hear in the movie.

About songs, is there still the real voices, real singers ?

I wouldn't say "new" per se: the recording always existed. But hearing it makes the score sound brand new again, and it's much more emotional to me.

Score seems to be more intense, it's sure ! ;) That's why I said "new"... Greatest pleasure to listen to it. Last year already, I had the feeling to rediscover this such brilliant score thanks to Scorepranos's sessions....and now.... the same feeling...again !!!

I hope Beauty & Beast will have a Legacy Collection edition too... It's not preview at the moment...

I'm hoping to get my copy this week, but THANK YOU! :)

BTW, Am I the only one who changed the track titles?

BTW, I have my cover of the film version of Scar's Dinner, if anybody's interested.

thank you

Still this weird hissing noise at the beginning of Kings of the Past. I wonder if that's some kind of artifact that couldn't be cleaned up or if it's supposed to be there?

Hearing it a little clearer, I'd say it was probably part of the recording, maybe a synth.

Thank you very much.

Thanks Mega for stopping at 99%, and having to rely on caching and finishing using firefox's download window as a second phase, I just don't get it. What happened to desktop default?

So, what's your favourite track so far? I'm torn between Stampede and The Rightful King: they're both more stirring, I think.

My cover for those who dont like the kindergarten one.

Seems even more kindergarten to me than the official cover. BUT, that's just me

I like his version better.

Thank's man. I love this Movie <3 <3

So, what's your favourite track so far? I'm torn between Stampede and The Rightful King: they're both more stirring, I think.

I can say what my least favorite is so far: Kings of the Past. Don't like the way the strings fade in a little bit too obviously at 0:16 and how the strings take over at 0:49 so much that you can barely hear the flute.

Jesus that's really nice.

Thanks alot bro

Thanks.

Sonna bitch!!! Well when I finally find the time to rip my Blu-ray (I'm in the middle of moving and things are getting hectic), you can work on it ;)

I'd probably wind up using the sessions for the film versions anyway, except for track 3, as they contain the same mixes used in the films. To think, though: we've been listening to synth choruses all this time!

After listening to TLK Legacy Collection, I had a great time listening to one of Hans Zimmer's most epic masterpiece of the 20th century (Point of No Return, Drop Zone, and The Rock are among the few...). That one exceptional track that separates the Legacy and the Complete Sessions apart is the film version of "Hakuna Matata". Not only that I was completely stunned, but laughed at the same time. I mean hell... it's not even an Intrada release. Overall, I have to give this Legacy Collection of The Lion King a final A+ !

This, as an important part of my childhood, will be enjoyed so well. Thank you, dear uploader. ^^

Thank you very much for sharing. A great score and now more complete :)

Thank you so much for this Upload! I will have to wait a little while till my copy arrives, because it has to get all over the atlantic to me. This will make the waiting a little easier.

But I have a question, though. The demos on the second CD, what are the differences between them and the original songs from the first? Thanks for the answer.

One is a demo, the other is the song...

MAN!
people are going nuts for this :O

MAN!
people are going nuts for this :O

Why shouldn't they?! Not only (IMO) is this Hans Zimmer's best score, but its the first time the Disney has released a Complete (or so we think) score by through their own record label! In the past, if we got a complete score for a Disney film, it was either a bootleg/recording sessions/complete score leak or they released it through another label (EX. Intrada and The Black Cauldron score).

That was super fast!

I know the Intrada releases of The Black Cauldron was complete, and I think The Black Hole was as well... but not sure about that one.

Well it came in the mail early this morning. The first thing I did was unwrap it, ripped it and upped it here. THEN I listened to it. :P

I don't think the Intrada release of Up was complete...

It wasn't. Not even close.

Then why did they even release it? If it's Walt Disney Records, why would Intrada then rerelease it? Was it expanded?

Then why did they even release it? If it's Walt Disney Records, why would Intrada then rerelease it? Was it expanded?

They released it on a Physical CD. Where as before, the OST to Up was Digital Only. They did the same for Toy Story 3. It was originally Digital Only, then released it on CD through Intrada. Basically their deal with Intrada involves releasing physical CD's of soundtracks that Disney plans to release as Digital Only.

Exactly. All of the expanded versions of Up are edits of the OST, the Cast & Crew disc and maybe the FYC promo.

Intrada also occasionally does complete or near complete releases for Disney films that didn't initially have score albums at all. Tinker Bell for example only had a "music from and inspired by" type album until Intrada put out a complete edition in 2013.

Wow!...I read the thread title earlier today and completely ignored it. I just assumed it was another Disney cash-in that cobbled the trilogy OST's together.

...well done Disney, 2 copies bought (yes, typical me) and thanks to DAKoftheOTA for the heads up!

thanks

I might buy a second copy and keep it in its shrink wrap. I might do this for the rest of the Legacy Collection releases as well. IDK. Depends on how much cash I have at the time. I know for sure I will do it for the Legacy Collection release of Toy Story next year!

how many other legacy collection are there being?

perhaps disney seeing frozen ost deluxe did very well with almost all score (and many demo), and deciding release for more :)

also, we should noting that this happens after lion king sessions leaked from scorepranos... leaks meaning not necessarily no complete release :)

how many other legacy collection are there being?

Here's the official list...

The 2014 release schedule for Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection follows:
• The Lion King, June 24, 2014
• Mary Poppins, August 26, 2014
• Sleeping Beauty, October 7, 2014
• The Little Mermaid, November 17, 2014

The 2015 release schedule for Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection follows:
• Fantasia, January 3, 2015
• Pinocchio, February 3, 2015
• Toy Story, March 17, 2015
• Disneyland, April 7, 2015
• Lady and the Tramp, May 12, 2015
• Pocahontas, June 23, 2015
• The Aristocats, August 14, 2015
• Cinderella, August 14, 2015

Right now, they've only planned up to 2015. But I have a feeling if this collection gets popular and makes enough money, they'll continue...

THANK YOU SOO SOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

I don't think the Intrada release of Up was complete...

I know the Intrada releases of The Black Cauldron was complete, and I think The Black Hole was as well... but not sure about that one.


Evidently, The Black Hole was INDEED the complete score. Like Zimmer, this is truly one of my favorite scores that John Barry have ever composed. Each and every track was exactly ported from the original film release back in 1979... and added a rare closing on the final track. Creepy... but enjoyable.

They released it on a Physical CD. Where as before, the OST to Up was Digital Only. They did the same for Toy Story 3. It was originally Digital Only, then released it on CD through Intrada. Basically their deal with Intrada involves releasing physical CD's of soundtracks that Disney plans to release as Digital Only.

Well gee, maybe WB can jump on board and release DotM physically.

So glad I bought a physical copy of this. Can't wait to get the rest of the Legacy Collection.

Thank you very much for this!

now i have to order that thang :D

Many Thanks!

BRILLIANT! Thanks so much.

Thank you!

Thanks very much for this. I shall listen with interest!

EDIT: I'm really liking this so far and a question to our resident 'Lion King' expert GGCTUK2005, if you had to compile a definitive version using this and the sessions, what would be the track/source listing for it? Many thanks again.

Thank You!

I've already done an edit :D I'm using the Legacy Collection tracks for disc 1, including some of the sessions cues as "1994 mixes" on disc 2 and the rest of the 1994 mix of the score is represented by my including the original album's contents on disc 3, alngside the instrumentals and bonus tracks (in other words, mine's based on the way LLL would have done it, aside from splitting the songs from the cues).

Here's a breakdown of why it's that way:

Zimmer recorded the demo cues first. Then Zimmer and conductor Nick Glennie-Smith recorded eveyrthing with the live orchestra. For some reason, the directors and producers preferred to mix the two, which results in the mix we've heard for the past twenty years - as it appears on the OST, in the film and on the previous leaks. This uses the live recordings solely for Zimmer's cues, so I treat it as Zimmer's original intentions for the score.

I won't be publicly sharing this edit, mind: I want this release to do well.

Thank you so much!

Booklet scans would be greatly appreciated to have all the credits etc. :)

No. I only do FLAC uploads now.

Quite frustrating on so many levels.

Thank you!

Quite frustrating on so many levels.

And very, very handy on others.

Converting to mp3 is free and easy. Many different programs and ways to do this, for free. It is worth learning how so you can just grab what you want.

People moaning about something they're getting for free again? It's ridiculously easy to convert FLAC to MP3 or WAV (seeing as it is a lossless format) and really, if people can't be bothered to do that or are moaning about the file size involved, then all they have to do is go elsewhere for it - i.e. iTunes or Amazon (and pay for it).

So this is all live orchestra then? Even better and I'll stick with this version as a result :-)

Correct. Only the percussion element was never recorded live.

I never stated why it was frustating in the first place. Amazon.de screwed up this time big with the CD-orders for many people and the orders are still in limbo as far as I read the savannah-tlk community postings. I'm not keen to download the album because it's one of my favourites and I would like to enjoy it when it arrives on the doorstep. On the other hand, I still use a cheap and old flatrate internet connection and really wanted to check in in some of the demo recordings for now. Well, I guess YT will manage it for now. :/

Thanks for the link. Will tide me over for next 3 weeks until Amazon ship my CD to Australia. Cheers!

THANKS. Never think these got an official release.

thank you!

Converting to mp3 is free and easy. Many different programs and ways to do this, for free. It is worth learning how so you can just grab what you want.


I never stated why it was frustating in the first place. Amazon.de screwed up this time big with the CD-orders for many people and the orders are still in limbo as far as I read the savannah-tlk community postings. I'm not keen to download the album because it's one of my favourites and I would like to enjoy it when it arrives on the doorstep. On the other hand, I still use a cheap and old flatrate internet connection and really wanted to check in in some of the demo recordings for now. Well, I guess YT will manage it for now. :/

so, frustrating on so many levels because? 0.o




People moaning about something they're getting for free again? It's ridiculously easy to convert FLAC to MP3 or WAV (seeing as it is a lossless format) and really, if people can't be bothered to do that or are moaning about the file size involved, then all they have to do is go elsewhere for it - i.e. iTunes or Amazon (and pay for it).

Downloading flac is a Hell for me. I 700mb to be downloaded in 15 hours. I can easily convert to whatever I want. Mainly mp3, so I can hear the music in my pen.
Ok, it is hard for some people in the world, like me, with low connection and downloading 700mb is a hell to download it full, when sometimes the connection might cut off, and then, there we go again try to download it. This part I can understand. But complain and not just ask "can someone share mp3 please?" I am sure some people here are not that ASS of a person to not do it.
As I am doing now:

Mirror (for those who prefer mp3)
Mp3 VBR -V0 (https://mega.co.nz/#!TIwzSKQQ!0osS8vG-DrjJTRSNaoZt7ql7lq4NdCtbhR5D7ur_Ji0)

But, it's easy to convert flac if you people can take some moment to do something called "Research", and nowadays its a flooded information.

Hell. I can even give you guys what use to convert flac:

dbpoweramp music converter r12.3 [ all plugins ] (https://mega.co.nz/#!CJYyCB5K!SXLPZqo8Pp6LxxnEoIeCnyCd0L21fcMngVEebrU p9Zk)

Yeah, if everyone could give also links for mp3 vbr -v0, I would get that one instead. But I don't go around complain or even ask to do it, because I can do it by myself. I just have to wait a day to download the full thing, but it's better then nothing. That is where we Thank for the effort of offering something like this to everyone. I prefer to be thankful to the users who share things like this, then to complain about the file encoding. Its his decision to what he shares, and therefore, we have no right of complaining or make a french revolution out of it.


Now, about the album:
Gorgeously Gorgeous. :D
Best Zimmer soundtrack ever, but may be due to everyone's childhood and who this movie marked, perhaps a growing youth.
Oh damn... the "Stampede" track!!!! how I still today love that track!!!
Finally. please, disney continue doing things like this. Because it is well worth it.
I so hope I can manage to get a copy for myself.

long years ago, maybe in 1995, there was collection disney made in my country with books resuming the plots of their movies, and all came along with an audio tape, with a narrator and with many parts of the movies audible there, including the songs. Lion King was the first book.. and I heard that tape so damn much times.. and I still have it. :)
Hearing that audio tape, was the closest I could get of hearing the movie soundtrack, even with narrator talking.... oh damn... now I feel nostalgic. :)

Very much appreciated for this share.

Thanks for your share.

I'm making (uploading) a 320kbps CBR convert from the original source, from hack3rman. Hopefully it works. :)

Best of luck to you, Lockdown. At least I'm happy that I have the FLAC format of TLK Legacy.

Ah... It's a joy to hear this! :D

Why have they waited until now to release this. Personally, I think it's Zimmer's best score!

Thanks for the share. This is a score from before I was into (or even discovered) film music.

It sounds great. I doesn't beat my all time Zimmer/RCP score Pirates 3 AWE but it comes close.

Although with listening to this score you can tell how much audio recording and mixing has improved over the past 10 years. Shame they didn't re-record and re-master it. :p

I m really happy with this edition, hans zimmer should get a legacy collection for all his scores considering the quality of the sound for that one

Thanks for the v0.

Thank you so much for this. Appreciate all of your work and post!

Thank you all for this great share.

One thing:
I wonder if it's due to a bad rip or if this is also on the CD:
Track 7 "I Was Just Trying To Be Brave" from around 00:20 to 00:26
I can clearly hear some small clicks.
Anyone else?

It's not a bad rip. It sounds like an orchestra player turning a page. This gets into all recordings and given the enhancements this score has, these little quirks are quite likely to surface more than they did with the Rifkin mixes. It's a nice reminder that this version isn't as synthetic as the previous versions.

Well,
if it's in the actual recording, than to me it does sound more like key noises from the woodwinds.
Not a big deal though, as things like that are part of any live performances and the orchestral noise floor.

Quite frustrating on so many levels.

Well too bad...

Uploading in both FLAC and MP3 is quite frustrating for me. It takes up more space on MEGA. So I've decided to delete all MP3 encodes and keep the lossless. Gives me more to space to upload more stuff. Such as this and the rest of the Legacy Collection.

Speaking of which, they already announced the the tracklist for the next release, Mary Poppins! It's 3 Discs! The first disc has the score, the second has the demos, and the third has the original tapes that were recorded during pre-production of the film with P.L. Travers (the basis of Saving Mr. Banks!)!

I Don't See Why People Can't Just Convert to MP3 Themselves I Have As I Can't Support FLAC But I Am Very Greatful To Hack3rman For The Original Upload! We Have Been Waiting For A Long Time For This. So In Any Form If Its Something You Want (And Its Free) Just Be Greatful. Thankyou Once Again For This My Friend I Have Had Hrs of Enjoyment From It Already And To More To Come.

Mr Gold

It'll show in any number of formats soon enough. Many as transcodes. To be sure you have an actual 320 or vbr rip, do the conversion yourself, is the way I look at it.

Better yet, if you want to grip and moan about the format, you know what you can do: either buy it or wait for your copy arrive. Both strain your connection less, I'm sure.

Thanks for this. I'm very grateful for the lossless tracks - I've been enjoying listening to them almost non-stop since yesterday.

I patiently await scans of the liner notes. Thanks very much in advance.

Well you're gonna have to wait a while... I don't plan on scanning the booklet. Mainly because I don't have a scanner. But even if I did, I still wouldn't scan this. It's too nice to ruin the spine of the book.

I agree!

I know this will sound redundant seeing as I shared this lovely album, but I would suggest buying this as well. Not only is it nice to physically hold and own, but you're supporting the Legacy Collection and the artists, which will show Disney that people do enjoy this and may continue to release stuff past 2015!

Most of the appeal of buying it will be the packaging. It sounds like a true collector's deal, which is nice to see. I don't blame you for not wanting to damage the book. I just decided to grab this, so I too would like to offer my thanks.

I plan on getting my hands on this.... if I ever get it

Quite frustrating on so many levels.

Typical German and the reason I avoid German forums such as The Savannah like the plague.

Thanks :)

FLAC for the win! I hope that starting from the next 3-4 years mp3 will be banned! (hopefully we'll have better internet connections / more hdd space :)).

Anyway I hope this legacy edition will sell well, so we could expect an extension of it, covering the remaining movies!

And... Mary Poppins 3 CDs? :D

Typical German and the reason I avoid German forums such as The Savannah like the plague.

Is this joke or real? I can't tell, so I will point out that one of the most helpful, polite and awesomest members here, Sorei, just happens to be German....:(

I'll just leave this here, just for fun...

Thank you for the upload :D

I just wish we could have finally gotten the full length versions of the Overture, One Man Band and Let's Go Fly A Kite. The fact that the soundtrack is confined to the first disc means that none of the tracks will be expanded from the last release because they can't fit any more music on a single disc. And those three tracks are only the ones that I know off the top of my head are incomplete, could be more. I'd much rather have absolutely all of the music from the actual film than have stuff like the Lost Chords recordings.

Ah well, can't complain too much. This Lion King disc couldn't be topped.

Thank you

They can put the full length versions of the Overture, One Man Band, and Let's Go Fly a Kite. Other soundtracks have had more tracks and a longer running time than the previously released Mary Poppins soundtrack. So It's possible. I'm not sure why they would release this Legacy Collection edition if they didn't add the full length versions. Because everything on this set is available on other releases.

Disc 1 would be About 1hr 20min just enough to fit on like disc 1 of lk

Thanks

Its On Page 1! LOL

Click thr BLUE FLAC!

Just for fun, I repeated the OST's edits with this material (reaching roughly 20 minutes of score). And you know what? It makes them sound a damn sight better. "...To Die For" was, for me, the worst-edited track on the OST, yet with the new source it actually sounds pretty well put-together.

Cover for The Legacy Collection: Mary Poppins

Other soundtracks have had more tracks and a longer running time than the previously released Mary Poppins soundtrack.

I sure hope you're right. My current Mary Poppins disc 1 comes to 1:19:37 according to iTunes. I was under the impression that a CDs max capacity was 1:20:00.

Walt Disney Records | The Legacy Collection | (http://thelegacycollection.myplaydirect.com/)

According to the official tracklist, we might get the full Overture! On Disc 2, it says there is a bonus track, and its "Overture [Album Version]". So I'm guessing the Overture on Disc 1 will be the full version.

I created a discussion thread for The Legacy Collection. Let's talk about other releases there and keep this thread solely related to The Lion King. :) Hope you guys will join in the discussion over there!

Thanks so much for sharing this hack3rman.

Just for fun, I repeated the OST's edits with this material (reaching roughly 20 minutes of score). And you know what? It makes them sound a damn sight better. "...To Die For" was, for me, the worst-edited track on the OST, yet with the new source it actually sounds pretty well put-together.

Do you have track titles and time stamps for how to re-create these edits ourselves?

Thank you so much!!

I've already done an edit :D I'm using the Legacy Collection tracks for disc 1, including some of the sessions cues as "1994 mixes" on disc 2 and the rest of the 1994 mix of the score is represented by my including the original album's contents on disc 3, alngside the instrumentals and bonus tracks (in other words, mine's based on the way LLL would have done it, aside from splitting the songs from the cues).

Here's a breakdown of why it's that way:

Zimmer recorded the demo cues first. Then Zimmer and conductor Nick Glennie-Smith recorded eveyrthing with the live orchestra. For some reason, the directors and producers preferred to mix the two, which results in the mix we've heard for the past twenty years - as it appears on the OST, in the film and on the previous leaks. This uses the live recordings solely for Zimmer's cues, so I treat it as Zimmer's original intentions for the score.

I won't be publicly sharing this edit, mind: I want this release to do well.

Could you please post a track listing? I want to compare it with my edit. Somehow I ended up with 70 tracks, TRT: 4:08:03. :P Thanks in advance.

Gee whizz, this album got the full brickwall treatment. I just saw a milk carton with is message: Zimmer's famous Reverbed brass practically missing. If anyone knows the whereabouts of his famous reverbed brass, please contact ffshrine.org.

I love the added layers and the focus on the choirs, but man, ELEPHANT GRAVEYARD chase sequence totally lost it's magic, and the conclusion to RIGHTFUL KING is so full of mud and rumble, i thought I was playing an lp in my truck. I am so glad i have the boots to go back to for that signature Zimmer sound.

Well now! Thanks!

Amazing share... thank you!!!

Thanks a million!

Thank you. One question though: where'd you get the Be Prepared reprise?

I ripped it from a YouTube video. I'd have preferred a Blu-Ray rip but that wasn't available at the time.

Great stuff...thanks a bunch :-)

If there ever was a link, I would listen to it non-stop. I love your list.

Thank you.

For anyone who is interested, here is the bonus internet content from the Enhanced CD (Disc 2).

The Legacy Collection: Lion King (http://waltdisneyrecords.com/ecd/legacycollection/lionking/)
Everyone should do that survey on that site, they're asking "13. What would you include in future Walt Disney Records The Legacy Collection releases?"

Star Wars! What else would we like to see?

hack3rman thank you very much for sharing this wonderful soundtrack.

Done! I don't know if the Indiana Jones franchise is now owned by Disney too, but I suggested it anyway...

Took the survey...I can't believe "Hi-Fi system" (or even speakers) weren't included in the list of listening methods...Pah! what's the world coming to?

Most of my answers obviously put emphasis on the music as a preference, particularly the score which gets painfully overlooked on a lot of Disney movies.

Also, I know with web exclusive content, it doesn't stay there forever. Here's a download link to the video clip should it ever go offline:

PW: hakuna matata

It's satisfying to finally see a decent official release of this score, but there are at least two severe problems with this album.

1) As have already been pointed out by others, the prominent Zimmer trademark brass sound is systematically pushed far back in the background throughout the whole album and almost muted, even in parts where it was clearly supposed to be the leading instrument. Why?
2) The quality of the demos is utterly shit. This is a really really bad example of sample rate conversion gone wrong, or more so lack of. I guess the source was 48 KHz and they reduced it to 44.1 KHz (which is used on CD) without using a downsampling/upsampling filter. If you try resizing an image without a proper scaling filter to smoothen things out it looks heavily pixelated. It's the same with audio, the result will sound like the demos. How the audio engineers could allow this to happen is beyond me. It's a mistake you simply don't do, and releasing it on album in this form is totally unacceptable.

But thanks for the upload!

Thank you very much for sharing in flac!!!!!! :)

I highly appreciate you taking the time to share this, thanks so much!!

1) As have already been pointed out by others, the prominent Zimmer trademark brass sound is systematically pushed far back in the background throughout the whole album and almost muted, even in parts where it was clearly supposed to be the leading instrument. Why?

That'd be because the mix done in 1994 was done by Jay Rifkin. He shared your views, so he rendered the brass from the demos separately and overlaid them on the recorded cues: that brass from 1994 is fake. The mellower-sounding natural brass is what was recorded by the orchestra.

The Rifkin mix is still out there, if you prefer it.

These aren't first-generation demos. Zimmer destroyed all of his demos after the score was completed. They had to be found on a second-hand tape and then transferred, and the tape wasn't exactly in the best of conditions.

That would be why there is no version of "Be Prepared Reprise" on this set, and probably why the film version of track 2 isn't here either (I suspect now that it was a demo)

Thanks :)

Excellent my friend, thank you :)

Sorry if I missed it, but did anyone upload the booklet too?

And thanks!

no booklet. Putting it into a scanner seems likely to damage the spine and thus far no one wants to do that.

If we all bought it there would be no reason to have a booklet.

There's Disney's own "virtual booklet tour"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPL628K3IdE
Much of it can be read just fine actually.

Thanks!

Thank you

Amazing! Thank you so much!

Just realized we hit 10 pages already!

I won't be publicly sharing this edit, mind: I want this release to do well.

Here's an idea: why don't you post only the extra cues (not included in the CD)? That way anyone who wants your edit will have to download both files. Please consider this and thanks in advance.

He basically did that already. He posted the album edits he re-created a couple pages back. The few other tracks you need can be obtained off the complete score bootleg and the Rhythm of the Pride Lands album, both of which are easily obtained.

Precisely.

I'm so happy. Thank you very much.

Got this album on the day it came out. This is my attempt to scan the booklet.
Lion King Legacy Booklet (http://www.mediafire.com/view/39xxetasbdmxa9l/Lion_King_Legacy_Booklet.pdf)

Also, did anyone notice how the audio "peaks" rather heavily in almost every single track in CD1?

I have something for you guys.

This is Mufasa's Dead. Except, it's the alternate version that we've all heard of. It's not the original as such: I edited in the alternate section from the bootleg into the Legacy cue. This version of the cue is known as the "JK Version" while the film version of the cue is known as the "RR Version", though I have no idea what either actually mean.

https://www.mediafire.com/?zbt81x0332zq785

I could share the original as well, but there's not much point: it was pretty much unfinished and the chase section is identical to the RR Version.

Nice to see someone scanned the pages! I wasn't willing to ruin the spine...plus I don't have a scanner. :P

And I didn't think the peaking was that bad. Noticeable, but didn't distract much at all.

I went and dug out the score for this cue and scanned the first few pages here:
Lion King 5m11 5 pages (http://www.mediafire.com/view/y65yj7xq1lokky0/Lion_King_5m11_5_pages.pdf)

Very interesting how starting from bar 13 the score switched to some sort of typeset -- it looks to be an insert added some time later.
The typeset itself is the "RR Version", but you can see hints of the "JK Version" in bar 12...
Although the score doesn't provide any extra info regarding what RR or JK means, we can infer that the "JK Version" is the earlier version of the cue, and was replaced by an edit - the "RR Version".

Ooh, you have the sheet music? Anything else interesting in there? Perhaps the alternate (film version) 1M2 that's not on this set? I received a cue list a while back and it did list a few interesting alternates and cues that probably didn't even make it past demo stage.

The two versions of the 1M2 cue looks to be the same in terms of musical ideas, they are just slightly different in orchestration/instrumentation.
Anything else interesting? The cue names are so different than what I've been seeing online, Mufasa's Death == Stampede Pt. 2 for example.

Oh that's strange... and interesting!

Taking a look, it was actually "6M13#3": it just wasn't listed as a sketch. So your list is pretty much the same.

I'd be highly interested in seeing those five sketches, especially seeing as we can't seem to correlate where 3M8 and 6M16 were to go.

What an awesome thread! Thank you thank you thank you!

I see. The only reason why I listed a few of those cues as sketches is because they're literally sketches... no orchestration of any sort -- just a three to four part reduction. I can scan those sketches for you when I get the score again.

Seems odd Be Prepared Reprise is only a sketch when the instrumental in the workprint versions of the film sounds pretty complete. Then again, maybe it's like the recording - the orchestrated version is lost.

Thanks so much for the download!

vyyolin, thanks for the scan! If you do feel like posting the rest of the score, I would be eternally grateful. :)

Thanks for the booklet.
