Disney Releases New Lion King Album
11 years ago
To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Lion King, Disney released The Lion King Legacy Collection sound track featuring 30 Minutes of tracks that had never been released before. Including a bunch of scores that didn't make it onto the original soundtrack and even a song "Warthog Rhapsody" Performed by Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella (Timon and Pumbaa). Listening to it I can say from experience that this soundtrack brought tears to my eyes, had me laughing and crying. It is a MUST GET for any Lion King Fan out there. On top of the music, it also features new artwork as well as lyrics to the songs. And if even THAT was not enough, it has bonus content if inserted into a computer (with internet connection). So let me take the time to say Thank you, Disney! Bellow I've linked to sources with some pictures so you know what to look for!

Snatch up a copy!
As far as I can tell most of the "never released before" content on disc 1 is the Hans Zimmer underscore that's never been officially released, but has been around as a bootleg for years (I did a piano transcription of it back in high school). They just want to make it official. But, the track titles are different than the bootleg's cues. Still truly inspiring.
The demos on disc 2 look to be a truly "new" thing that I haven't seen released anywhere else, should be an interesting listen for the TLK historian!
Plus all the art... already a great aspect!
I know that Scar was originally supposed to sing "Be prepared" to Nala, I wonder if anyone has recordings of that!
