CD Review: BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Limited Edition Movie Soundtrack






Recently I got my hands on a fresh copy of the brand-new BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Movie Soundtrack Limited Edition CD & I've been listening to it the last few days. Oh my GOD, it's AWESOME! We reported this new product here awhile back & the response has been pretty good. For those that missed it here's some basic information: La-La Land Records, the company that brought you the BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES CD SET a few months ago, has now released a new version of Shirley Walker's 1993 BATMAN: MASK OF THE PHANTASM Movie Soundtrack. It's available now ONLY AT their website ( link button down below ). Remastered and expanded, ( more than 27 minutes longer than the original CD release ), this is the definitive version of Shirley's amazing score! It features two bonus tracks & comes with a 12-page CD booklet that includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes. This is a Limited Edition of only 3000 units & I expect the thing to totally sell out like the B:TAS one did. The photos you see here are some I took late last night & it shows the front, the back, the insides ( with & without the CD ), & the CD itself. The booklet has some interesting trivia about the film & some neat graphics. Speaking of graphics I really like the picture of "Batman hitting The Joker with all the Playing Cards flying around" that you get to see when you remove the CD from it's case...kinda neat. But, the main thing is the music & on this special CD the quality is extremely excellent, very well done. If you click on the "Music Button" down below you can hear a small clip of the Main Title. Now, the soundtrack to this film as been released before but it didn't feature ALL the music fro the movie. This one does, it's great & I can very highly reccommend it for ANY Batman Fan!
