La-La Land Slays Competition with 'Buffy' Anthology

February 13, 2018 By Mike Duquette 3 Comments

BUY NOW FROM LA-LA LAND RECORDS

If you're a fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon's iconic horror-comedy, La-La Land Records' latest release certainly doesn't suck.

The soundtrack label makes Buffy The Vampire Slayer Collection: Original Soundtrack Recordings available today. This 4CD set features both music from across the seven seasons of the acclaimed TV series as well as Carter Burwell's score from the 1992 film adaptation that predated it.

Whedon, a writer on Roseanne and a short-lived sitcom adaptation of Ron Howard's Parenthood (not to be confused with the drama that ran for five seasons in the 2010s), got his first break in Hollywood with a witty script about a seemingly normal California teenager who embraces her destiny to hunt and kill vampires while trying to maintain her social status in high school. But the adaptation, which sacrificed some of the more acerbic dialogue and social satire for broad-based comedy, left him cold, and failed to catch on with audiences as well.

Undeterred, Whedon's star continued to rise as a screenwriter (he cowrote the script for Toy Story) and script doctor (working on big budget action flicks like Speed and Twister). Ultimately, Dolly Parton's production company, Sandollar, who'd produced the Buffy film, approached Whedon about adapting the script for television. With the dialogue even sharper and the satire at its most cutting (taking the horrors of high school and adolescence to its monster-movie extreme), Buffy became a runaway success, making stars of cast members like Sarah Michelle Gellar (as Buffy), Alyson Hanigan (Willow, the teen witch in training), Seth Green (wisecracking werewolf Oz) and David Boreanaz (Angel, a vampire fighting with his human soul).

The "Scooby Gang" (as the cast became known) went through seven seasons of adventures on both The WB and UPN networks (Angel became a spin-off in 1999 and lasted five seasons), earneing multiple Emmy nominations - most famously for the acclaimed episode "Hush" (one of many represented on this collection). To this day, as obscure as Buffy the film seemed destined to be, the series is considered to be one of television's finest works - and Whedon soon went from cult hero to action auteur, writing and directing the first two Avengers mega-movies for Marvel and co-writing last year's Justice League film for DC Comics.

This Buffy collection is produced by Mike Joffe and Nick Redman, mastered by James Nelson, and features a 40-page booklet designed by Mark Banning and featuring a foreword by writer Mark Altman and liner notes by Randall D. Larson. Limited to 3000 copies, it's available now for you to sink your teeth into!

    I'd have been happier if they'd released the film score on its own and dedicated another disk to more from the series.

    Maybe they could have skipped the movie soundtrack, which is apples and oranges with the series, and include the "once more with feelings" album

    I will have to check all my Buffy albums on CD as I know I have the standalone movie CD, the 'Once More' CD and a couple of others, although on second thoughts, I'll probably just buy this anyway.
