Description
Enjoy The Ride Records, in partnership with Paramount Pictures, proudly presentsMusic from the Motion Picture Scrooged,composed by Danny Elfman.
High-spirited high jinks on Christmas Eve put Frank Cross (Bill Murray) in a ghostly time warp in this hilarious take-off of Charles DickensA Christmas Carol. Cross, who has made the meteoric rise from the depths of the mailroom to TV network president, is mean, nasty, uncaring, unforgiving, and has a sadistic sense of humor – perfect qualities for a modern-day Scrooge.Before the night is over, hell be visited by a maniacal New York cab driver from thepast, apresent-dayfairy whos into pratfalls, and finally, a ghoulish, seven-foot headless messenger from thefuture.
Directed by Richard Donner(The Goonies, Lethal Weapon films, Tales From The Crypt), Scrooged is packed with a host of Hollywood veterans (Bobcat Goldthwait, David Johansen, Carol Kane, and more) in thisiconic ’80s holiday dramedy.
The score is a real treat to revisit, as you can hear many elements that would become theiconic Elfman soundin future projects, such asBatman, Batman Returns, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands,andTales From The Crypt. The score jumps from cheery holiday tunes to dark and sinister sounds, perfectly capturing the story depicted in the film. This vinyl release containsbonus tracksandsource cues, and is pressed oncolorful themed vinyl.The jacket features alternate poster art and is housed in a poly-lined sleeve; a full-color insert includes credits and production shots.
