Don't you have a music store where you live ? Don't be too grateful, man...

perhaps real life intervened with his catering to your needs? THIS is the attitude that will convince him not to share it at all...

Oh, my, can't wait. Thank you so much in advance!!

Please keep us updated on this one! Can't wait :)

He isn't sharing yet anyway. This is why you don't start threads unless you can deliver. He better hurry or someone else will. Maybe I will, I have the CD. But I won't post it in FLAC.

He said on the previous page that he's having issues with his internet connection.

No worries my friend! Take your time <3 Thanks for sharing with us!

No I'll still share this, now I just wont share the trailer stems for Jurassic World that I just got earlier instead...

I only did this because I wasn't planning on having issues with my connection.

Wow some people are being dicks about this. Connection issues aside, this is how the guy chooses to share his music, let him do what he wants. Who gives a crap if someone gets there first, you're being entirely too self-important about file sharing. He has vowed to share each and every one of these as they are released, and that's pretty awesome.

Can't wait! Thank you in advance!

Well said miggyb!!! :)

Wonderful stuff, can't wait...

Thanks in advance for this great soundtrack!

Synth demos and mockups from a 1989 score? I'm really wondering how they sound. Very surprised to see this coming from Alan, I thought he only did straight orchestral.

You can sample them on iTunes, Hedon.

They certainly sound interesting...

Just an update guys.. I don't think I'll have it up today. I've contacted my ISP and I have someone coming to take a look and possibly fix my connection.

On the upside, I'm going to visit family for the holidays tomorrow, and they have a fast 50mb connection. I know for sure I'll get it uploaded there!

thanks for the update hack3rman. no need to rush. have a good trip to your family :)

If it does indeed have to wait til tomorrow, then just consider it an early Thanksgivig gift! :)

I'm a newcomer, and I've found gold!! This is one of my favourite soundtracks, and I'm so happy that it's complete, at last. Thanks, thanks, thank you oh so much for sharing!!!! Look forward to your download link!!!!!!

Oh yes. Yes, Yes YES YES YES YES YES..... I will stop now.

:D I am so anxious for it too. :D

Thanks for this!

Thanks in advance. This is my granddaughter's favourite movie.

so sad some of the deleted songs like SILENCE IS GOLDEN and ONE DANCE etc didn't make it onto this version. It would've been so nice to hear them in remastered soundtrack quality. I only have mp3s of such songs in youtube sound quality as ripped from those youtube users' pages. lol

"One dance" is already edited, it is in the last album "The Little Mermaid: Greatest Hits" which came with the Diamond Edition.

Hi. I believe SILENCE IS GOLDEN appeared in the box-set THE MUSIC BEHIND THE MAGIC, now presumably out-of-print. But I personally prefer Poor Unfortunate Souls, mostly for better lyrics. This is just my personal opinion. You are welcome to comment! :)
Yes, that song was left out of the set, since it doesn't say in the track list.
But just be happy that now the magical underscore will be in complete form, compared to the 45-minute LP-length release we had before this was released.

"One Dance" is not a deleted song from The Little Mermaid, it wasn't even written by Menken & Ashman. It was written for some The Little Mermaid themed album by Chris Martin.

Yes, Silence Is Golden is in The Music Behind the Magic, I downloaded that box-set in FLAC from this forum and most of the demos included are different than the ones in the Disc 2 of the Legacy Collection box-set:
Thread 125678

For now I enjoy listening to the "Complete Score Edit" by the user Empire SB, it is amazing and even more complete than the Legacy Collection's, though it's unnoficial it sounds great:
Thread 177581

Wow there's a lot of stuff there that's not on the Music Behind the Magic boxset, be great to have the songs separate from the demos and the work tapes (which is the one problem I have with the Music Behind the Magic set), might just have to pick this up at some point. And davidlai unfortunately Music Behind the Magic is very much out of print (if I remember correctly it was released 20 years ago this year), although some do pop up on ebay and Amazon marketplace from time to time and agreed Poor Unfortunate Souls is much better than Silence is Golden lyrically, although it's always great to hear Alan Menkins and Howard Ashmans creative process.

Hi to all,
First of all, you guys can call me David. I'm so glad to listen to your replies (more on that later).
Thanks for telling me about the song One Dance. I listened to it just now online and it sort of sounds "off-beat" with the whole Little Mermaid score, and just now I heard the reason! Thanks to Tonttu who sent the message!
And thanks to TLMerman who recommended me the unofficial score. I should check it out. Meanwhile, still waiting to download the official Legacy Collection. I believe he is still ripping and uploading?
And thanks to Groovygoth666 for your indepth message about the box-set. I used to own an mp3 version of this, but deleted it, thinking that I'd get the same content on the Legacy Collection. Well, looks like I have to find it again. :(
Well, to make a long story short, I'm blind. I come from China, and was introduced here by a friend who loves listening to soundtracks. I'm now learning piano in Beijing, and love listening to all kinds of music (as long as it's not too noisy, so modern pop music and stuff is not for me). I also enjoy film music, since most of it is classical-inspired.
OK, enough of this... I'm taking up your time...
Thanks for reading. Just want you guys to know that I'm very grateful for your replies!
I should sign off now - it's getting late here. :)
Have a nice day!
By the way, nice to meet you all!

Thx...worth the wait!

Thank you so much !

Thanks so much hack3rman!

Fucking awesome!!! the first movie i see as a kid in the cinema
Thank you man!!

Thanks!!

Thanks for this. Quick as per usual.

Regards.

Thanks so much!

Thank you so much my friend !

Thank you so much hack3rman!!! :D

Again, thanks!

I've ordered every single one of these, just like hack3rman. But mine hasn't even shipped yet. This will tide me over, been especially excited for this specific release.

Outstanding! Thank you.

I usually order through Amazon and use 2 day shipping. This USUALLY gets it shipped here the day the release comes out. I also buy from amazing because these releases usually go for less than the retail price.

Thanks!

Thank you so much. This will tide me over nicely until my copy arrives

I ordered mine from Amazon with standard shipping. It shipped on Monday and arrived earlier today. Some people reported receiving their copy last week.

hack3rman Thanks a lot bro

Thanks! Lovely score! :)

Thank yooouuuu Hack3rmannnnn!!!

Great. Thanks. I will listen to it, waiting for the CD that should arrive around two weeks.

Thanks for a great share!! Impatience can be a bitch - as clearly shown in this thread ;)

Thanks. But did anyone notice the pretty big mess up at the end of track 32. Happy Ending? Give it a listen, you'll know when it's there. From 2.30, there are two tracks crossing each other, the one without the choir and the one with the choir - really messy. You'd think they would put some more work in this expensive Legacy cds instead of just throwing some old music together without giving it a good mix - or even listen what they release.

Thank you

thanks!

Thank you so much

Thank you very much.
I love this soundtrack because it is very bright and varied.
The edition that you offer us is widely cherished by me and my family, especially because it will be available in my country until mid-December.
Again, thanks.

Are you sure the old OST and film do not contain a cut down version of the track? Both mixers in this set are top professionals

Thank you thank you thank you, hack3rman!!!!! Thanks for ripping, uploading and sharing. I'm downloading right now. This is SO wonderful!!

I wish it was. Just give it a listen.

I did, to me it sounds composed like that, as the first rendition has different orchestration than what's under the choir in the second rendition...

I'm listening to it right now and I love it! I can't wait for the future Alan Menken releases! Thank you very much once again! :)

Thank you.

Thanks for this share, I really appreciate it.

Does anyone notice a little hiss or glitch or something in track 12 1:08 and 1:09? I downloaded the track twice to check if it was a download problem.

Thank you so much for the share. "Under the Sea" is just awesome. ow much I repeat that song in my audio tapes. XD

This CD is $14.88 on amazon -- that's not expensive.

Much thanks.

Thanks for the share mate. Will tide me over until mine arrives - hopefully in time for Christmas. Amazing soundtrack and please support Disney for finally giving fans every note (well most) for this classic movie.

Thank you so much.

Just listened to it. I got to say how amazing it sounds! So much better than the original release. Also like that many of the song are slightly extended. I so can not wait for them to release Aladdin, Pocahontas, Beauty And The Beast, and Hunchback Of Notre Dame.

Thanks a Bunch!!!

many thanks !!!

I noticed it as well. That has to do with the ripping. I believe it hasn't been ripped carefully. I have the original album release and at that point it doesn't contain any glitches.

Yes, it's true. Also happens at the end of Under The Sea, when it starts with the extended final part. I'm a bit disappointed too with the missing backing vocals in "Fireworks" and Vanessa laughters in Poor U... Reprise are different from the ones in the film

Thanks a lot. The little mermaid is my favourite disney and ican't wait to descover this new soundtrack. Thanks thanks thanks

Well, TLMerman, the laughter at the end of the track was a pretty interesting story. As we all know, this reprise was sung by Jodi Benson, and that's the same in the film. The laughter at the end had two parts, first is Jodi Benson and then crossfades into Pat Carroll. On this CD, it presents Jodi's original work, which to me is less scary, but I think it does the trick, since it was Ursula who stole Ariel's voice, so she must "play" with it. That's just my own opinion.
Another thing that really upsets me about this release is the "poor unfortunate" mixing/editing at the end of CD1 (track 32, Happy Ending). Also, some tracks didn't fade well. The one I noticed is, the end of "part of your world (reprise)" didn't fade but ends abruptly, and then Ursula Plots begins. Also, I personally think they could have separated the two, since the original album concluding chord for the reprise of the song is here.
Also, lead-in dialogue is present on Under The Sea and Part of Your World. The manner in which the lead-in dialogue cuts in in Part of Your World is pretty bothering to me. I don't mind Poor Unfortunate Souls, since this song is story-driven, though I would prefer it if the orchestra was left alone, so the evil motifs can be heard clearly. But lead-in dialogue situations mentioned above are not for my taste. I had hoped that this release would restore this, but no luck!
Guess I shouldn't keep my hopes up afterall. :(

I noticed it as well. That has to do with the ripping. I believe it hasn't been ripped carefully. I have the original album release and at that point it doesn't contain any glitches.

Well I ripped it at the slowest setting I could to try and keep that from happening. It could be like that on the CD but I doubt it. I'll take a listen to the track on cd and see if it is there. If not I'll re-rip it.

I can't thank you enough! I wish you all the best.

---------- Post added at 10:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:00 AM ----------

I just noticed that on the track "Poor Unfortunate Souls (Reprise)" it states that the contributing artist is Pat Carroll, and there's no sign of her. :D Also it does kind of deminish the excitement when you don't hear her laugh at the end.

Thanks for the FLAC! :)

Thank you so much for the upload, hack3rman. I took a listen and placed my order for the CD straight after. This is an extended release that's done right in every way I could ask for. Finally, no silly brick-walled loud master, no akward remixes, no mixes that sound completely different from what was used in the movie (at least none that stood out to me). Everything that I wanted is present, in perfect order, with crystal clear sound quality. Absolutely fantastic. I pray for Disney to give the same treatment to the announced Pocahontas set next year and hopefully all other works of Alan Menken from the 90's, both in terms of content and care. Thanks again, hack3rman!

Thank You!

What bothered me the most about the edits was the lead-in in POYW, not because of the talk, It's because it's not the same as the movie, it's the soundtrack version, which contains diferent dialogue.
The transition (intro and then the lead-in/song) didn't work. It sound poor. (same with Poor Unfortunate Sould)
I didn't like Jodi's vocalizing in Poor Unfortunate Souls, the volume is too low D: it's almost a copy from the soundtrack (again)
Also misses her getting-her-voice-back vocalizing D:

I loved the extra laugh in Vanessa's Song (although Pat should be there) and Jodi's voice in "Ariel Left Behind" (Vanessa at the beach), it sound so clear and wonderful <3
We also finally got both Eric's flutes.

Thanks!

Thanks for your willingness to do this, hack3rman. Can you also take a look at CD2, track 15 of Mary Poppins? I also notice some clicks in there (it is the demo of The Chimpanzoo). Many thanks for doing this!!
By the way, just wondering, did you rip it in the secure modes provided by EAC?

One vocal from Ariel is missing, though. It's when her voice returns to her in the cue "Interrupting the Wedding". That's another loss. :( Also, I believe there's a short cue after "Fireworks" and before "the Storm" that's missing from this CD, lasting only a little bit (maybe 10 or 20 seconds?).

I noticed that too. We are getting more time and enhenced details in some tracks but we are loosing some seconds in others, appart from vocals and backing vocals missing, poor edited cuts... It's a bit unprofessional to be a Legacy Collections album that has been remastered this year...

Well, TLMerman, the laughter at the end of the track was a pretty interesting story. As we all know, this reprise was sung by Jodi Benson, and that's the same in the film. The laughter at the end had two parts, first is Jodi Benson and then crossfades into Pat Carroll. On this CD, it presents Jodi's original work, which to me is less scary, but I think it does the trick, since it was Ursula who stole Ariel's voice, so she must "play" with it. That's just my own opinion.
Another thing that really upsets me about this release is the "poor unfortunate" mixing/editing at the end of CD1 (track 32, Happy Ending). Also, some tracks didn't fade well. The one I noticed is, the end of "part of your world (reprise)" didn't fade but ends abruptly, and then Ursula Plots begins. Also, I personally think they could have separated the two, since the original album concluding chord for the reprise of the song is here.
Also, lead-in dialogue is present on Under The Sea and Part of Your World. The manner in which the lead-in dialogue cuts in in Part of Your World is pretty bothering to me. I don't mind Poor Unfortunate Souls, since this song is story-driven, though I would prefer it if the orchestra was left alone, so the evil motifs can be heard clearly. But lead-in dialogue situations mentioned above are not for my taste. I had hoped that this release would restore this, but no luck!
Guess I shouldn't keep my hopes up afterall. :(
I agree with you, but what I meant is that ALL of Vanessa (Jodi) laughters are different here, they may have been re-recorded or taken from another recording that is different from the one in the film, not only that it's missing Pat Carrol's laughters in the end.

Agree. I should get the film and listen to it. I heard it at a friend's house before. I mean, I'm curious about the difference in Jodi's performances. What a pitty for this album! :( I've kept my hopes up for so long and this is what we have. :( What shall we do about Pocahontas?

Thanks!

Thanks again!

The only different is 2 sentences. It picks up at the third on the sound track. Which is where they had her start when they did the recording for the song. Does it make a big different if we hear "If only I can make him understand? I just don't see things the way he does!" But I do think if they did have her voice over as is in the film. Some would also be complaining that why they didn't omit it? Cause they would just want to hear that small segment without the dialog.

But I do wish they did have in Ariel's scales when she received her voice back.

But over all, I am very happy with this release! I love how clear it sounds.


What bothered me the most about the edits was the lead-in in POYW, not because of the talk, It's because it's not the same as the movie, it's the soundtrack version, which contains diferent dialogue.
The transition (intro and then the lead-in/song) didn't work. It sound poor. (same with Poor Unfortunate Sould)
I didn't like Jodi's vocalizing in Poor Unfortunate Souls, the volume is too low D: it's almost a copy from the soundtrack (again)
Also misses her getting-her-voice-back vocalizing D:

I loved the extra laugh in Vanessa's Song (although Pat should be there) and Jodi's voice in "Ariel Left Behind" (Vanessa at the beach), it sound so clear and wonderful <3
We also finally got both Eric's flutes.

Well I ripped it at the slowest setting I could to try and keep that from happening. It could be like that on the CD but I doubt it. I'll take a listen to the track on cd and see if it is there. If not I'll re-rip it.

Don't worry, with the preview on iTunes I've heard the same glitches, the cds are ok, it's a problem from the High "Disney records".

thanks :)

A big thank you

Many thanks for this awesome share!

thanks hack3rman

thanx a lot, pal...

Thanks very much hack3rman

Thank you! Awesome!

Again, thanks! hack3rman :awsm:

thank you!

Thank you very much for the tiime it took to rip and up this. that's dedication and I appreciate it veery much.

Fantastic! I went out last Monday when it was supposed to be released but couldn't find a single retailer that was carrying it :P I don't think Disney was heavy with retail distribution for this one, so that you SO much for not making me wait to receive it in the mail!

I'm so glad (and surprised) that Disney is creating this collection. It's a fantastic insight into the award-winning scores.

Thanks!!

I'm putting a complete album up with every piece of score Seperated that is apart of the legacy collection.

All score and album titles (including film versions and instrumentals) are apart of it.

All titles taken from the soundtrack wiki

Hopefully Fantasia will be next!?

A wonderful restoration! Howard Ashman never should have had the word "was" follow his name. He was one of the best lyricists and character/story planners in theater and film -- and not just of his generation. When (and sadly if) you can, try to see or even read all Ashman and Menken did in their adaptation of Vonnegut's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater". Ashman's why Disney's approach to cartoons (characters, storytelling, songs) was not just reinvented but resurrected in the late 80's. To have all of this is more than a pleasure. (PS. If any of us have either the CDs or DVDs of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Aladdin"... along with the excellent casts a particularly great singer's was there, too. Who? Nancy LaMott!

Any chance someone has the booklet to this? :)

Many thanks!

It's more than fantastic, thank you very much!

Yes, it's true. Also happens at the end of Under The Sea, when it starts with the extended final part. I'm a bit disappointed too with the missing backing vocals in "Fireworks" and Vanessa laughters in Poor U... Reprise are different from the ones in the film

Hi TLMerman, today I returned to the original 1989 album release of the Little Mermaid. The version I have is the Special Edition with remastered audio. The backing vocals are there.
It's my belief that they used orchestral-only tracks for the score and original album mix for the songs, and they treated "fireworks" as score only

Thanks a lot my friend, and Merry Xmas :)

After watching the honest trailer for this movie I felt the need to listen to the original soundtrack. Thank you very much.

Thank you much!

Great interview! However, did anyone notice that the video ends with the short piece that plays after "Main Titles" in the end credits? I didn't hear that short piece on the set, unless if I missed it somewhere. Was it included somewhere?

Nice one, thank you!!

About to listen to this. Thanks for the share. I just want to give a shout out to EmpireSB, who originally shared a DVD rip of the score some years ago. They kept us tied over until this came along. :)

Thanks so much!

Thank you very much for this.

Thanks for the great upload!

Without any disrespect to hack3rman and for those who want a space-friendly version for their iPods/phones, here's the iTunes M4A. Credit goes to the original uploader. Found a bunch of Disney soundtracks in M4A and grabbed this.
