Topic:   The 'Burbs

I've heard things about this boot of The 'Burbs floating around: it's an archival pressing; a lot of the tracks were taken from the Varese CD Club release; etc.

Are there any opinions from people who OWN
the boot, and also, could I have some track
listings?

I heard about it too, but people said it's a CDR, not a boot, so, I discard it.
Now, if someone own a BOOT version, please, let me know too.

(try to remain calm, Shaun)

Listen, man. Most of the boots coming out today are ON CDRs. It's something you're going to have to deal with. What's the big deal? I mean, they're expensive as hell, which is wrong, but other than that, what's stopping you from getting a bootleg on a CDR?

I own it, and it sounds great. Very good sound. Contains 33 tracks and runs 57 minutes. I got mine from Screen Archives. If you have the chance, get it. You won't be disappointed.

Oops. Didn't see the track listings until now. The actual titles? I won't type them all until I hear back from ya that that's what you want? I don't want to type all of 'em for nothing. Let me know.

Yes, Shaun, I already ask this, seems you are the CDR King.
The main problem with CDR are their quality. Some of them play well, some of them I never heard. And I saw some presenting the incredible " sound is going " problem.
Enough?

I'm actually interested in hearing what you mean by "sound is going", as that sounds frightening.

I have a 31 track version of The 'burbs, but it runs the exact time the 33 track one does. Weird. That one has track listings (mine, I mean).

I would love to get the extended version, particularly since I've heard audio clips of the score all over the web(Filmtracks, Tom & Sami's Goldsmith Verssimage - I hope I got that right).
As long as I'm talking about the Verssimage,
they have audio clips of virtually every Goldsmith score.

My favorite clips:
The Great Train Robbery(it DOES sound like Dennis the Menace)
The 'Burbs
The Swarm
Twilight Zone: the Movie
Capricorn One
Mom and Dad Save the World
Deep Rising
I.Q.(this really deserves a CD release)

I have a copy on the way, as it were. I'm really looking forward to hearing it, I love the score in the film. I'll pass on opinions on the CD when I have them.

Shaun:
Once I had a lot of cdrs. Most of them were only listenable at my LD or DVD, not in a regular CD player.
And now some of my friends are telling me about some CDR loosing his sound, completely.
That' why I refuse any CDR, I know they will be useless soon.

Yet another dying thread.

Does anyone have track titles?!
That's all I ask.

Dr. Evil, you shouldn't have that trouble with CDRs. I never have, and I doubt my equipment is more sophisticated than yours.

I only own a small handful of CDRs (from circumstance, not from principle), but they play and sound as well as, I guess, their sources ever did. e.g. Goldsmith's RUNAWAY (which I owned legitimately at one time, but it was lost or stolen -- I never quite figured it out) -- the CDR sounds just as fine as the original CD did.

Looking forward to THE BURBS, CAPRICORN ONE, THE SWARM, INNERSPACE, and so many others ...

H Rocco - Are you waiting for the "Innerspace" expanded? I have it, and it sounds great. It has 29 tracks and runs 63:45. Of course, the problem with this expanded scores is that people using report different number of tracks. I've heard about three different rejected "Air Force One" scores, each with a different amount of tracks. Anyway, you shouldn't be disappointed with the "Innerspace" expanded, if that's what you're waiting for. It sounds great, and it's one of Goldsmith's best works. My personal favorite track is 26, "The Pod Battle" I call it, since my expanded/rejected CDs never have track titles, just numbers.

I have decided to invade this board as well, now.


the trouble I have with CDRs is that others simply don't know who to make them. Of course, I have the perspective of one who has a PC CDR drive.

For example, I just got a CDR of Virtuosity by Chris Young. The music is extremely cool, but teh CDR has MANY clipped-off tracks, and that pesky 2-second gap between tracks that wreaks havoc with some CD players.

I have a burner for my PC and it works marvellously. Typically, I use the Disc at Once feature from the Adaptec software that allows tracks to run together seamlessly. I make myself CDRs all the time for various purposes, and have never had a problem with them (once I figured out how to do it properly).

burning stright from a CD, you get all the scratches, etc. in your CDR.

What do burners cost? I'm writing you from an iMac. I'm not asking how to work them, just how much it would cost me.

And no, I'm not looking to go into BUSINESS ...

don't know about iMac's and burners.

but I got mine from ubid.com for $150 at an auction where they about 225 of them for sale. I think new ones still go for about $300 or so. Someone else may know.

JJH,

For PC's, you can get a burner for under $200.00. For MAC's, you can get them for around the same. However, for an IMAC, because it has to be external, and USB, they are a little bit more. You can get a Sony or a Que CDR-W USB drive from Mac Mall for about $259 - $289. Just go to Macmall.com and check it out for yourself.

At long last, I received the complete score to "The 'burbs", but I have a question:

Does the 33 track boot have the music from the film where [SPOILER!] the bones are discovered in the trunk of Dr. Klopek's car? [END SPOILER] (I have the 31 track CD.)

There was a good tread that covered this at FSM. I think it was titled: Insurection/Burbs/The Swarm

Just a short comment:

The "Burbs" boot is good (though it doesn't contain the complete score) but the sound quality is certainly not "great" in any way.

Well, considering the age of this initial post, there's nothing much to worry about. The 31 track edition is one that I made which was combined from a sessions tape and the Varese Club version. It was one of the earliest tape transfers I did and the sound quality of the unreleased music, I will admit, sounds average. That's due to the fact that a) the tape had major tape hiss and b) I didn't have the same skills as I do now in restoring audio. Shaun Rutherford gave the titles to the unreleased cues.

I have heard the sound quality of the SL edition and it is full of hiss, only all the way thru. I think that dantoris (R.I.P.) was touting these SL editions for some oddball reason, as Innerspace and The 'Burbs both have sound quality issues.

IIRC, mine has 33 tracks, and came from my good pal CF8(Hiya Chris!!!). Of course, I had a couple extra short bits missing from my SL Innerspace tacked on also.....

I just had to comment on that dammned Soundtrack Library.....my copy of the Burbs uses the Varese Club tracks when applicable, but my Innerspace from them had the same mediocre sound throughout, even on the legally released tracks....just wanted to rant, damn them for not at least using the real thing when they could have! Or is it better to have bad sound throughout?

Either way, my Burbs sounds fine to me
