PS – I am aware of a post from a previous user (who appears to be banned) about the original Bride tracks and wanting to sell/trade them. Please know that I have nothing to do with whomever that is, I am asking for nothing for these – just that you enjoy and they don’t pop up on youtube or SoulSeek 🙂

EDIT: I forgot to add that these are in flac format

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Very much appreciated. Thank you!

Oh, awesome – many many thanks for your generous share! Btw, noticed your list has 12 tracks, but my download was 13. Any ideas? AGAIN, THANKS!!!

Many thanks!

Great share!
Thanks!

thank you

Thank you so much for this!!

Thanks, man. Those rare tracks are why I love ffshrine.

What’s track 13, btw?

What’s track 13, btw?

Great share!

I am curious about that too 🙂

Thank you!

Thank You very much!

I honestly have no idea what track 13 is. I must’ve put it in the wrong folder at some point. Bonus track!

NICE!!!

Holy crap. These tracks sound better overall than the previously shared version by that other user. And he claimed his was a direct transfer from the original acetates. What a find!

Thanks a lot.

Thank you for sharing.

This sounds so much better than the other share. I fixed that drop out in track 9 – not the best EQ but much better than what it was. If anyone is interested here is a link to the fixed track.

It is interesting. The copies of the BRIDE session elements that I had are slightly different and both versions seem to lack a bit in their own way:

The Main Title comes with sfx at the end – this ones here doesn’t. Great!
All the other tracks sound like directly taken from old tapes with a fair amount of hissing, but very clear sounding – the ones here don’t, as they would have ran through some sort of filter.
The Menuett (Track 2) is complete – here the first seconds are missing (basses doing a dark tremolo on G).
What is track 6 + 7 here, is combined to Track 6 on the other copy I have, but the ending of it is incomplete and breaks up where on this copy here other instruments set it (about 0:12 in).
Track 8 (here Track 9) ends after the cymbal-crash at about 04:00 – here the Finale is in, which is great.

Do the ones that you have sound more clear than what I posted here? I’d be interested in hearing for sure!

Amazing share – I didn’t know these existed – thanks so much!

thank you!

Thank you; a great composer !

Yours sound so much clearer. There were skips in the other share. This is much much better.

Yes it is! Unfortunately some cues are missing as I stated before. So there is no clean (unedited) complete version, yet, I am afraid.

Thanks very much

Thank you a lot!

FYI: A recent email from La-La Land Records mentions an official, limited edition CD release of original "The Bride Of Frankenstein" score by Franz Waxman.

Composer Franz Waxman’s son, John Waxman, Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection, album producer/restoration expert Mike Matessino and La-La Land Records will celebrate the world premiere release of the original 1935 classic film THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN score recording, which has been discovered and meticulously restored, with a showing of the film at the first Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival in Tarrytown, NY on October 13, 2019.

The official, limited edition of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN CD exact release date was not mentioned in La-La Land Records recent email. Hopefully, it will probably be some time in October 2019.

Sounds like they used acetates from a library, probably the same (incomplete) source as this upload. The difference being they improved the sound.

Yes, it’s the same original acetates sourced from the composer’s archives at Syracuse University with five additional elements: "Introducing Pretorius" and four bonus alternate tracks. The Bride of Frankenstein is now on sale for $19.95 from La-La Land and your favorite online film soundtrack websites. It comes with in-depth liner notes by writer Frank K. DeWald in a nice 20 page booklet featuring classic art design by Dan Goldwasser. I picked up a copy and the sound quality is excellent. Mike Matessino did a great job on restoring and remastering of this classic score by Franz Waxman. Limited Edition: 3000.

Tracklist:

1. Main Title – The Bride Of Frankenstein 1:23
2. Prologue – Minuet 5:55
3. The Monster’s Entrance 2:20
4. Introducing Pretorius 1:22
5. You’ll Need A Coat :43
6. Pastorale – Village – Chase 3:22
