Unfortunately, these will be digital-only releases.

Today we have learned in conjunction with the films’ release on August 21, Walt Disney Music will also be releasing rarely heard music from the soundtrack of the films, which never made it to the final production in a series called ‘The Lost Chords.’

Arguably the more interesting of the two is the album for The Aristocats which features two titles: ‘How Much You Mean to Me / Court Me Slowly’ and ‘Le Jazz Hot.’ While the former is included as a bonus feature for the Blu-ray, the latter seems to be a more intriguing mystery. A cursory search, for example, returns only two mentions of it in context, one of which is in this interview in which Richard Sherman speaks of it fondly. The downloadable album (which also contains a PDF booklet) includes both tracks performed by Richard Sherman as well as seemingly new recordings by Disney Character Voice performer Corey Burton and lead of Vintage Trouble, Ty Taylor.

The album for The Rescuers contains four songs with recordings of ‘Doin’ What I Really Do Best,’ ‘I Never Had It So Good’ and ‘Peopleitis,’ each recorded separately by Floyd Huddleston and Louis Prima, as well as ‘The Need to be Loved’ as recorded by both Paul Francis Webster and Jennifer Paz.

Although the recordings won’t be available to own until August 21, they are all able to be sampled at this time.

Wow, Disney releasing something not catered to the masses? And it's not princess or Marvel-related?

This is.... odd.

Hmm, interesting, especially considering they're devoting albums to whole films with not that huge a fan-base. It would be really cool if Disney did a few more of these for other films that had quite a few deleted songs (Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Mary Poppins etc), and also if they could release such albums outside North America for once.

And the reason these are not being released via Intrada is why again? Digital only sucks!

Maybe they're planning on a full soundtrack release, and they'd include these on there. Neither film has gotten a full soundtrack, so they seem like perfect contenders for Intrada.

Digital only and I doubt Disney would license them in Greece so torrent it is...

I managed to get The Rescuers: The Lost Chords using a US movie rewards code for only $4! They let me download a zip file with the songs. Would have preferred an iTunes code, but can't complain really!

I'm listening to it right now. I really like the DEMO of "the need to be loved", haven't heard the rest!

That's quite fascinating.

I never knew production on The Rescuers dates back to 1962. Just goes to show how many of Disney's animated features go through these endless production cycles trying to find the right tone.

I'm not sure. I'd tell you to PM me but I think new members don't have that function.

Anyway, I prefer not to.. Nothing personal, nor am I bored of doing it... I've just seen how easily digital music can be traced back to the original buyer + I don't wanna risk being banned for something this silly

Damn you put me in a tough spot

I would love these to see released on vinyl for Record Store Day.

The Aristocats one could be an EP (Extended Play 45rpm 7" record with 2 songs on each side).

The Rescuers could be released as a Double EP (2-45rpm 7" Extended Play records. Two songs on each side, Four songs per 7" record, Eight Songs total.)

It would be perfect. I guarantee it would sell.

Peter Pan is the new installment in Disney's 'The Lost Chords' series which will be released on February 5th.

Awesome!

Interesting that this release includes 'Beyond the Laughing Sky' considering that this particular incarnation of that song was written for Alice in Wonderland. Still, this looks like a excellent release.

That's great! I don't own the Peter Pan soundtrack, so this is the best release to buy it.

This is not the complete soundtrack, just the Lost Chords. Which is lame cause once again, you can't buy a physical release and if you live outside of the US, you can't buy it at all

They should have updated the soundtrack with the new artwork from the BD + the Lost Chords included

Oh.

I thought it was going to be like with Cinderella. Ah well, no big deal for me.
