Long, long day. I don't even remember when I posted last. I had a sandwich and onion rings, picked up a couple of packages, and then just started to work and never stopped for a moment. I did the second set of liner notes, I finished watching The Boy Friend, and then I spent four hours watching an hour and forty minute movie, watching along with the music cue sheets and trying to figure out how the soundtrack album was put together - this for an upcoming release. The decision I have to now make is whether to keep the album in the sequence done by the composer or undo those edits and do strict film order with about eight minutes of additional cues. I actually like the original album sequence quite a bit, and I understand why the additional cues were left off (repetitions of themes already there and some short cues), but I love every minute of them. If I keep the original sequence, then we'll include the additional cues as bonus tracks. If I end up doing film order complete, then I'll also include the album edits of certain tracks so we maintain those.
