With no shortage of catalogue film score news and announcements in the past week, The Second Disc adds to that with two releases from Intrada and a few rumblings about La La Land.

First, the releases: Lalo Schifrin's score to the newspaper drama The Mean Season and George Delerue's fanciful score to the Glenn Close comedy Maxie, both released in 1985, are getting their first-ever releases as part of Intrada's Special Collection. Both albums feature a new sequencing experiment for the label: big cues that wouldn't feel out of place as an album presentation are provided first, followed by short, interstitial cues that entered the movie for a minute or sometimes less. The liner notes will have instructions on how to order them as heard in the film. All cues are in stereo (Mean Season features brand-new two-track stereo remixes straight from the original multitrack masters) and each set is limited to 1,200 copies.

Order here and here and hit the jump for track lists and that promised info on La La Land's upcoming slate.

Also, following La La Land's announcement of expanded editions of Danny Elfman's score to Batman (1989) and James Horner's music to Krull (1983), word soon followed that the label mentioned some other future projects at a panel at the International Film Music Conference of Ubeda, Spain. According to this thread from Film Score Monthly, they included:

• A premiere release of John Morris' score to the board-game comedy Clue (1985)
• A premiere release of Rachel Portman's music to the Jim Henson TV show The Storyteller
• An expansion of Danny Elfman's score to Batman Returns (1992)
• The previously mentioned four-disc box set of music from The X-Files composed by Mark Snow
• A premiere release of James Horner's score to Jade (1995)
• A complete expansion of John Frizzell's score to Alien: Resurrection (1997)

The biggest rumors - that the label would handle an oft-requested expansion of John Williams' score to Hook (1991) and/or James Horner's music to Wolfen (1981) - were not confirmed. They also fielded a query about future Batman releases (the label had previously done a premiere volume of music to Batman: The Animated Series that sold out impossibly fast, followed by an expansion of the related film project Batman: Mask of the Phantasm), stating contract negotiations would have to finish before they could approach Warner Brothers about tackling, in particular, Elliot Goldenthal's unreleased score to Batman and Robin (1997).
