Official Dark Shadows Resurrected Soundtrack!!!

But that's basically the same stuff they sold too. Of course the best of the best was sold back in the early 90's...Josette's music box.

The music box was auctioned in '04.  Before that, I believe it was kept in a different place when some of the props were destroyed in a fire.

Ahh right. I wonder how much it sold for.

More than the scripts. 

I am so excited about this as I have been watching the 91 eps lately so I can finally finish up reviewing it. I just watched the "DOTTY" ep Gothick and now I am into 1790 and ever La Countess comes on I think of you as well! HEH!   BS was the stuff!  The music is so rich and beautiful. I also though need to get the original as well! 

Barbara Steele's "Countess" du Pres was obviously the stylish Madam of a very exclusive bordello in Paris.  Steele's line readings in the part make me sca-REAM (oh dom, beloved, where ARE you?).

Listening to the free clips on the site for this set made me realize how much music Cobert either composed originally for the new series or re-scored so extensively it might as well be a fresh composition.  I look forward to hearing it.

G.

Cobert composed quite a bit of totally new music for the '91 series. Much of it is some of his best work IMHO, which is the main reason why I feel the apparent slight against the soundtrack is so not deserved....

I meant to mention that it is a travesty that the FEST or Fandom for that matter didn't really publicize this release! Was it even in Shadowgram??

Taeylor, I keep hearing that it wasn't in the Shadowgram.

I find it shocking that no one was made aware of this at the fest.  It has the potential to be such a big seller within the fandom, especially since the music is so familiar to fans of all incarnations of Dark Shadows. 

I just wanted to let you all know I received my copy today and it's absolutely wonderful! For those of you who ordered it, I know you'll enjoy it.

I received an e-mail yesterday morning that mine shipped. I can't wait to get it. Maybe Monday...

To quote the old Hollywood wise-crack, "This wasn't released-- it escaped!"

Fantastic CD, though.

This is slightly off topic, but since it's about DS related music, I don't think it's too out of place here as a quick aside.  Whether you listen to the Big Finish CDs or not, the soundtrack to the dramatic readings series has been released.  Many of the pieces use origial DS themes as their basis and expand upon them.  One piece from Skinwalkers is a reinterpreted version of Quentin's Theme.

This is something that should have been released 15 years ago.

This is something that should have been released 15 years ago.

I agree with you BUT it's fairly timely when compared to the soundtrack that came out a few years ago. Logan's Run, the TV series aired in '77? or was it '78? They released a soundtrack for it a few years back!!!  It ran about the same amount of time as DS '91- 14 eps in this case. 11 that aired for sure, and up to 3 that did not. There's a debate about the "unaired" ones.
