The Burton-Elfman Monolith Emerges

September 30, 2010 By Mike Duquette 4 Comments

It's not every day you get to talk about two major box sets in a 24-hour span. And this one makes the U.K. Black Sabbath box look like something thrown into a digipak.

The Danny Elfman & Tim Burton 25th Anniversary Music Box is ready to order. Sixteen CDs, a DVD, a 250-page book and a collectible USB drive, all loaded with a heap of unreleased music, demos, rarities and other jaw-dropping stuff. And it's literally enormous. Check out the size of it in this video; it looks like a box for moving into a new house.

Now, as beautiful a box like this is, both visually and in terms of the music, you always have some trepidations. For one, the price tag is rather steep - $500, for 1,000 limited edition numbered copies - particularly when considering the target audience, the soundtrack buyer. (Most limited edition titles, usually released every other week or so, are around $20 to $30; box sets can span between $125 and $250 from the soundtrack labels. That doesn't leave much room to budget for this box, not that Warner Bros., the masterminds behind this set, were thinking about that.)

Still, the level of detail on this thing is such that you wish any of your favorite artists got such a devoted, loving, red-carpet treatment. You can see that treatment for yourself by going to the box's official site and hitting the jump for a full track list. (And check this set actually getting some attention from a major newspaper!)

Mike Duquette

Mike Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he was a teenager. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.

    Wow, that's a lot of Danny Elfman music. It's interesting to see all of these soundtracks from different labels being brought together by Warner Bros. And it's REALLY interesting to see that some of the unreleased Batman Returns stuff will be debuting almost simultaneously on this set and on the La La Land release.
