Limited Collector’s Edition of 3000 copies




Music Composed by John Williams

To usher in the holiday season CD Club-style, Varèse Sarabande celebrates the tenth anniversary of Home Alone 2: Lost In New York with a very special 2 CD “Deluxe Edition” release. While it may seem odd that a score only ten years old even requires a deluxe edition so soon, Home Alone 2 is an unusual case indeed. This new CD features cues never before available, including alternate, never-before-heard cues that take a radically different approach to the ones that actually ended up in the film. Additionally, and very importantly, this release corrects a very odd anomaly that afflicted the original Home Alone 2 CD. The original soundtrack release was not mastered from the first-generation session masters and, the tape that it was mastered from, was even running at the wrong speed! The sound improvement that this completely new, composer-approved, mix and mastering renders is nothing short of astounding. It’s like listening to the entire score for the first time. The rich, full-bodied orchestra is made all the more glorious with John Williams' four breathtaking, original, and now much-loved carols; Somewhere In My Memory, Star of Bethlehem, Christmas Star and Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. They’re all here … the cues you’ve always loved, the cues you’ve always wanted, cues you never knew existed, and all sounding better than ever. The deluxe 20-page full color booklet features extensive liner notes and many film stills. It’s a CD Club holiday spectacular!
