It's hard to definitively know if the "Quentin And Tracy (Love Theme From Night Of Dark Shadows)" track, which is also a piano version, in the NoDS section of the House Of DS/Night Of DS soundtrack is the same as the proposed track "Love Theme From Night Of Dark Shadows (Piano) (unreleased)". But I would say not because of two reasons. One, "Quentin And Tracy (Love Theme From Night Of Dark Shadows)" does appear in the movie, whereas the proposed track says it was unreleased. And two, the 30th Anniversay CD includes a track entitled "Joanna (original soundtrack: unreleased version)" and as we know "Joanna" and "Love Theme From NoDS" are the same piece of music that was renamed for the movie. Plus, the version on the 30th CD is decidedly different than any other version.
And while we're on the subject of the 30th Anniversary CD and missing NoDS tracks from the movies CD, the proposed track "Quentin's Theme (Saxophone) (unreleased)"
is on the 30th CD under the title "Quentin's Theme (Night Of Dark Shadows original soundtrack: previously unreleased version)". And one thing that's quite interesting is that the 30th CD's booklet says that it was at one time considered to be used as the main title music for NoDS. Thank heavens it wasn't because it would have been all wrong. It's much too lighthearted and would have been much more suited as background music for the costume party sequence in hoDS, just as a different lighthearted version was actually used in that movie.
And all that leads us to this from SG #75:
Who knows why things are back to saying "12+ DS tunes" when SG #73 correctly reported that the book contains 18? Though they've wisely stayed away from repeating the book will be 80 pages when it will actually be 112.
And I'm sure this will come as a huge shock, so I hope you're sitting down, but MPI's 1996 mailing didn't actually say a thing about the DS Music Book. So shocking, right? ...
