Whooo! Wow!
This is awesome, I can't wait to get this collection and enjoy the great music of Fraggle Rock. Maybe if this sells really well they'll release more Fraggle collections.
I'm pre-ordering my copy right now!
hmmm. ok did anyone else catch this? some of the songs on disc 3...the titles are continued on the next track...like pukka pukka pukka squeetily boink...listed as 2 tracks? lol. and why are they just re-releasing the cds? kinda disappointing?
Ryan -
They aren't just re-release the CDs - only one was ever a CD before, the other two albums have never been released on CD. Plus the tracks will be all remastered and cleaned up so they will be much better than the past releases from the 1980s. There is more than 50 songs on here; what more would you want for a single release? --- maybe if this sells well they will release more collections with other songs, but for the first major re-release of Faggle music in over a decade this is awesome. It is the best single collection and release of Fraggle Music ever!
I think the track listing error you're having might just be a word-wrap problem with your browser and the ordered list, 'cause it looks fine to me.
it seems to be better now. but it definitely did not look that way the first two times i viewed it. i did not imagine it.
This is amazing! I can't wait to get the set and be able to listen to all three albums! And liner notes and pictures and sheet music too! This will be a great collection!
I love how you are able to get these great scoops for all us fraggle fans. Keep it comin'!
Wow! I've been waiting for these details. You're my hero for getting this information; thanks Greg. I too am going to preorder my copy right now.
I'm looking forward to the release but I have to admit I'm a little disappointed that Kock is repackaging existing albums (with tracks repeated on disc 3). I was anticipating a brand new compilation with songs that have seen release in any form.
Still, I'm glad that these songs, which have been long out of print, will see the light of day again. Even though I own the two original albums it's still a must for me.
Thanks Greg!
That would be "songs that haven't been released in any form." Sorry.
This is great! I'm preordering right now.
This is great! You always get the best scoops.
Great news, although it is a bit disappointing there aren't any new tracks.
And where is "Dum of a Son of a Gun?"
I'm thinking that song, which I remember so fondly, growing up may be the one they titled "Dum De Dum", though I could be wrong. I am a little missed at the seeming repetition, with 3 discs, and space that could have been used for others from the massive array of Fraggle songs.
Is it required to remind the listener that it's a Fraggle CD each time you pop one in by playing the theme? Maybe they're different versions, which would be cool, as I remember hearing a studio test kinda thing, once, and I think there's one where everyone from all groups sings it in the last episode, but then that should be the last track of the final disc.
Still, what's with the Doozer Knitting Song being repeated? Are there more than one versions of that? Either way, cool to get Fraggle music put out there in such a compilation, and hopefully those outside us core Muppet fans, with a sense of nostalgia from loving it as kids, will pick it up, boosting sales, and bringing more Fraggley goodness to the world.
I love that they are preserving the original albums – even if it means having some “repeats” throughout the 3 discs. I mean if they were to re-release “Perfect Harmony” or “Music and Magic” but cut songs or shifted around the tracks people would be ticked off. I think it is great that they are keeping the flow, order and composition of each album intact.
People were outraged when HIT released the original episodes on DVD but edited the opening and closing themes so they were only on the set once - rather than in each episode as they originally were placed. Now that they are re-releasing the original albums people want them to edit the content so the same thing won’t appear twice. Go figure? This is great preservation of the three classic albums – in their original format.
Maybe if this set sells really well they will release a new Fraggle album with new songs down the road – but this is instead a packaging of three independent, and classic, Fraggle albums.
I can't wait!! I am so excited that they are releasing some of the albums, even though they are repeating some of the songs throughout the collection. I have an old album on record that still sounds great!
Hi,
The First Disc is a Reissue of the Columbia CD release. Because on the Muppet Music version they had a song called "Dummy Of A Son" or something like that performed by The Gorgs which is not listed here.
