Batman Christmas Gift Idea: The Danny Elfman Collection

Christmas in nearly here (if you’ve visited any retail store recently, it already is) and chances are you have a Batman fan in the family. We here at Caped Crusades understand and want to help you find that perfect gift all throughout the month of December.

Today’s gift idea: The Danny Elfman Batman Collection from LA LA Land Records. Here’s what they say about the release:

"In honor of Batman’s 75th Anniversary, La-La Land Records, Warner Bros. and WEA proudly present THE DANNY ELFMAN BATMAN COLLECTION: BATMAN / BATMAN RETURNS: LIMITED EDITION (4-CD SET). Batman swoops back into La-La Land with this thrilling re-issue of our previously out-of-print deluxe editions of Danny Elfman’s classic, original scores to the Tim Burton-directed BATMAN (1989) and BATMAN RETURNS (1992), presented together for the first time! While the programs presented on these discs are the same as found on our acclaimed initial releases, BATMAN (1989) has been newly remastered by James Nelson from recently unearthed score elements, resulting in better sound quality. (BATMAN RETURNS is the same master as our previous release.) Produced by Neil S. Bulk, Dan Goldwasser and MV Gerhard, this special release of 3000 units features gorgeous, completely re-designed packaging by Jim Titus. The 48-page booklet carries over the liner notes from our previous editions. The populace of Gotham would agree – this is one knockout presentation of two iconic scores from a legendary Dynamic Duo in its own right… Tim Burton and Danny Elfman!"

This kick-ass collection is available now for $50, but that won’t last long. Here’s a look at the track listings:
