Disney’s ‘The Lion King’ 2005 Expanded Score (Including Alternate Cues)

Has this ever been posted on here before?

It’s just something I’ve had for some time now, so am wondering if it has or not.

NOTE: This version doesn’t contain any SFXs by the way.

It seems ggctuk2005 has already posted this on here a while back now. Plus, it’s freely available to download from various sites, so I won’t bother with an additional upload as a result now LOL!

It’s identical to the one ggctuk2005 posted?

Yep!

ggctuk2005 made a point in his new thread that this was not the edit that everybody has been passing around for ages now. If his edit is already freely available everywhere and it’s only been on here a couple months, I suspect he won’t be very happy about that. This is probably the bootleg that he specifically stated his edit is not.

This sounds interesting. I haven’t heard this one before.

Yes. This is the case: my edit does not contain anything that the previous Complete Score bootleg has that is in mono. It’s not complete for that reason, and it’s certainly not the same thing as that bootleg.

The one linked to on that wiki is actually an edit of the original bootleg (meant to recreate the actual tracklisting from an apparent actual, albeit abandoned, complete score release – see below), from what I understand) that omits the album mixes and the songs, the contents of the original bootleg are listed here (http://www.hans-zimmer.com/index.php?rub=disco&id=534). Take note that while the bootleg claims to have alternates, they are usually just the album mixes, the ordering is completely wrong (for instance, "Hyenas" on that bootleg is actually supposed to play directly after Circle of Life) and notably absent are the film versions of at least three cues (at last count there was an alternate for the track labelled "Hyenas", an insert for "All That The Light Touches" and an alternative starting percussion for "…To Die For"). Also absent from ANY version are a few cues that got recorded but were not used.

That listing you link to is apparently from a canned release in 2005. I imagine they might have tried to release it alongside the Platinum DVD like they did the Special Edition, but for reasons unknown it got shelved. It and the bootleg are not the same thing.

Some claim to have stereo versions of certain cues. Given they’ve never been posted aside from the mono versions, I’ve never been able to verify whether true stereo mixes are out there, somewhere, beyond what’s supposed to be on the (alleged) FYC promo.

I’ve seen it linked to only on one person’s tumblr: it’s not even made it over to the Download Soundtracks blog nor tehParadox. Googling my tracklist doesn’t bring up many results either: just the thread here and the aforementioned tumblr entry.

Let’s just say if what you have is the genuine article, you are quite lucky. My view? Post it, either way it’s not been on here before.

Am away at the moment. Will upload it when I get back.

Looking forward to it.
