The 'Burbs - Expanded Edition

La-La Land Records and Universal Pictures proudly present a remastered and expanded CD re-issue of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith's original motion picture score to the 1989 big screen cult comedy The 'Burbs, starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern and Carrie Fisher, and directed by Joe Dante. Continuing an exciting collaboration with filmmaker Joe Dante that launched with Twilight Zone: The Movie and blossomed with Gremlins, Explorers and Innerspace, composer Jerry Goldsmith unleashed another wildly creative and notable score for the director's hilarious, knowing suburban romp, The 'Burbs. Goldsmith expertly balances the film's rambunctious comedy, dark satire, suspense, action - and its heart too - with a bold orchestral work that sounds better than ever in this remastered and expanded presentation.

Produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk, the original 2" analog scoring masters featuring Bruce Botnick's original 3-track mixes have been newly transferred in high-resolution and meticulously edited to match the performances as selected for the film. Mastered by Matessino, this expanded assembly also includes additional bonus tracks and runs more than 16 minutes longer than any previous release. The spirited art design is by Dan Goldwasser and the exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond and include new interview comments from director Joe Dante and film editor Marshall Harvey.
