Author	Topic: The Ultimate FB Topic.... CD goofs

PeterK FishChip	I was scratchin my butt while in line for the movies one day (as all good FB's would do... that or picking me nose in public), and I wondered to myself if there was a focused discussion on nothing but(t) goofups on CDs, or even LPs for that matter. You know, the easiest goofup is a track listing printed on the jacket that doesn't resemble the track listing on the album, or a mis-spelling hear and there. The search engine provided ****-all results, so here we are. The official album goofup thread. Everytime you notice something whacky about something in your collection, go ahead and type in "CD goofs" into the search engine, pull up this thread, and have at it. Include goofs with the printed album jackets, messed up printjobs on the CD itself, or even weird and whacky things happening in the music. I guess I should start, since [scratch scratch] I started this thread, eh. Ok.

PeterK FishChip	Ok, which is it officially? There is no UPC symbol on Varese's A Nightmare On Elm Street 3 CD (music by Angelo Badalamenti), so which catalog number is correct? On the front insert, the number is VCD 47239. On the back insert and on the spine, it's VCD 47293. [scratch scratch]. Hmmmmm.

Pete M Standard Userer	Hmmmm. On The Crow: City of Angels, which track is Camera Obscura, & which is Temple of Pain? The booklet has the one way round, the back cover lists them the other way? That's right. I still haven't figured this one out. Hmmmmmm. And I still want to know why the tracklisting on the back cover of Congo is completely screwed up? Was it too much hassle to put them in the right order somewhere that isn't on the disc itself? NP The Sights: Got What We Want [Message edited by Pete M on 02-26-2003]

Dinko Standard Userer	The biggest goof is from Silva and it's a continuous mistake too. They keep releasing stuff from something called the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, when everybody knows that it's an amateur high school band. (beating dead horse, beating dead horse...) jonathan_little can bring up the latest Varèse goof, and my boy Jeron can get pissed again. Want goofs, here's one: The song lyrics of Patrick Doyle's "In Pace" from Hamlet. This is from Silva's Cinema Chorarl Classics. Third part of song: Visi sunt oculis insapientium mori, et aesimata est afflectio exitus illorum Bozell Inc.* illi autem sunt in pace.* I don't know what Bozell Inc. is, but it is not latin. Nor is it in the Sony Classical lyrics.

jonathan_little Standard Userer	Poledouris' Les Miserables album has track timings that appear to be from a random number generator. The latest Bond re-issues have a variety of spelling mistakes, not to mention that I've bought three of EMI's new albums and I haven't seen a single picture of John Barry yet. I'll have to stop now... my panties are getting bunched up.

Kevin Standard Userer	How about when the CD for Williams' Hook came out, and the only place you could find the track listing was on the CD. Not on the back cover, not in the booklet/insert. And the same for Arnold's Independence Day. Only on the CD. Which makes it really hard to read as they spin in the player. Kevin

Pete M Standard Userer	Kev - that's very similar to the Congo issue, but there they give you all the track titles - and then don't tell you what order they're in! They're just playing with us!

rkeaveney Standard Userer	Varese's PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE/BACK TO SCHOOL album has two track 11's, I believe. And how many times has Patti Zimmiti's name been mispelt? And they forgot my thank-you in the FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS album! Ryan

Richard Street Standard Userer	NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3, I believe, is 47293. But some of those Varese's (ALIENS: THE NON-DELUXE EDITION) seem to be both VCD- and VSD. According to the tracklisting on the back of DRESSED TO KILL, the penultimate track has a running time of 0:00. On the actual CD of Varese's (fabulous) score release to ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, Marc Shaiman is credited as Mark. Varese Spine Anomalies: on most all-red Varese CDs, the spines have the title printed above of the composer, but on THE PUBLIC EYE Mark Isham is printed above the title. And all of those spines are white text on red-brown, except for William Goldstein's SHOCKER (white on primary red) and Gary Chang's UNDER SIEGE (black on red-brown). Furthermore, whilst the first E in Varese is actually an è (note the grave accent), on many spines the accent is missing and in at least two cases (NIKITA and TERMINATOR 2) it's an acute accent - é ! Unless I'm much mistaken, the ALIEN 3 CD doesn't credit anyone with the conducting. NP: GOLDENEYE (Eric Serra)

Dinko Standard Userer	Ah indeed... Varèse Sarabande... the red spine days. RoboCop's track titles are about as erroneous as the ones on Les Miserables.

OHMSS76 Standard Userer	On the old Varese cassette of NO WAY OUT by Jarre, the Varese logo was printed horizontially on the spine, instead of flush with the album title. Also, the CD of The Whole Wide World, allegedly, lists 12 cues, and reads off only 9! Can't confirm that, since I'm not opening this thing hehehe NP: DAF(Barry) Bliss. 'Nuff said. Sean

SEBULBA Standard Userer	The original MCA release of E.T. on cd, cassette, and LP all have track 1 listed as "3 Million Light Years From Earth". Uh, that would be "From Home". He's already on earth.

Lou Goldberg Standard Userer	On all of the Tokyo Olympiad LPs, Italian and US, the track titles simply were made up and have nothing to do with what the music is scoring. It's pretty strange to be listening to a cue entitled "Boxing" and knowing that it actually scores a scene for swimming.

Skycar12 Non-Standard Userer	How about "Clash of the Titans"....track listing. CD artwork says there are 17 tracks, but in actuality there are only 14 tracks on the CD.

johnmullin Standard Userer	On the Joel McNeely recording of TORN CURTAIN, some of the track titles (and lengths) appear to have been swapped with others on the CD.

CindyLover1969 Standard Userer	The CD for Dave has "Music Composed And Conducted By James Newton Howard" on the cover, but the inside of the booklet (and the movie itself) credits the late Marty Paich. On the Ryko reissue of For Your Eyes Only the track listing on the back cover has two 3's, a 4 and then a 6 - no 5. Six Degrees of Separation lists 25 tracks; there are actually 26. And finally, the Laserlight CD of 16 Days of Glory manages to not mention Lee Holdridge at all. [Message edited by CindyLover1969 on 02-08-2004]

Dinko Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by starblade: Regarding dinko's post above, about Robocop: Does anyone have the proper track list for the Varese LP and/or cd release? Actually, Dinko was referring to track times and got confused like Robert Townson and Tom Null trying to sequence a CD so he wrote "track titles" instead of "track times". I assume the new release corrects the wrong track lengths originally printed.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	The recent score by Dale Cornelius Till Human Voices Wake Us lists 18 tracks, though after the 18th track, 90 seconds of silence ensues and a 19th track follows. When I play this CD on my PC, an automatic track listing includes the title of the 19th cue. Batman Returns by Danny Elfman groups tracks by twos so that every second track has the same name as the one that preceded it, which is confusing in the extreme. And while people are likely to file this one under 'Hidden tracks', I never bought Shearmur's Johnny English when I learned the 15 minute track that closes the CD was 90% silence.

Richard Street Standard Userer	Here's a weird one: BOWFINGER (David Newman). Looking closely at the CD itself, it lists all the tracks with their respective artists, then lists the score cues with an . And at the bottom it says " Music composed by X". I'm just wondering how whoever designed the disc label didn't know who'd actually composed the score. (Mr X's stuff is terrific, by the way: lots of funky bass, guitar and Hammond.) NP: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (John Williams) Because it's February 8th.

There is distinctly 16 different tracks on the old LP (and cd), but only 15 track titles.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	I've never been sure if this is a blooper or not... On Ennio Morricone's Bulworth , the score is noted in the liner notes as having been recorded in 1988 , while the film was released in 1998 . Did Warren Beatty take Sergio Leone's habit of recording scores in advance of principal photography to unprecedented extremes (and then throw out most of the score for rap)? Was Morricone's score a previously rejected effort from 10 years before that he tried to plug into a new home? (If it was it articulated the emotional landscape of the film superbly.) Or is it simply a misprint?

PeterK FishChip	Matt Monro or Matt Munro? The remastered From Russia With Love CD has it both ways. The front cover is an image of the original LP on Capitol Records, featuring "Monro." The tracklisting on the backside features "Munro." The liner notes consistently refer to "Munro," however, the 30th Anniversary Bond CDs from a few years back refer to "Monro." Who shall it be?

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	Like Jonathan mentioned, I also noticed the big foul-up on Les Miserables. There are many with wrong timings on them. I see it all the time. Lots of older LPs with wrong titles on them etc. Like for example the old UA Lp of the Misfits/and other themes from films on reverse. One cue from Big Country should be titled "Old Horse" and instead its "Old House" LOL. I noticed on the old Poo Lp of the Monster and Sci Fi stuff they listed Sinbad and Eye of the Tiger, but the cut was from Antony and Cleopatra instead. LOL> J.

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	Another old UA Lp with some cuts from Wonderful Country all labeled wrong. And the one extraneous cue Apache Death on the Misfits LP is not on either of the Wonderful Country LPs. The note on the new CD of it says some funny things about Apache Death. John.
