For the new set, previously unheard audio masters were unearthed in the Island Records archive for \"Don't Be Shy\" and \"If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out\", and all audio has been remastered at London's world-renowned Abbey Road Studios. This new edition will also feature enhanced packaging including liner notes, lyrics, transcription of movie dialogue, and photos from the Paramount Pictures production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    The surprising thing about the film's soundtrack is that it didn't exist until 2007. In the movie, the songs by Cat Stevens serve as a kind of Greek chorus, reflecting Harold's spiritual development and the evolution of their relationship from friendship to romance. The music is so integral to the story it would have been easy to assume that a soundtrack had existed all along. But Stevens was hitting a peak in popularity when [Director Hal] Ashby approached him about using his songs, and he worried that the soundtrack, which compiled material from the two records he released in 1970, Mona Bone Jakon and Tea for the Tillerman, might confuse his audience. So no official soundtrack album was issued until 2007, when Cameron Crowe assembled a limited reissue on his Vinyl Films label. Now, a different assemblage put together for the film's 50th anniversary finally makes it widely available... you may find much to admire in this collection, which frames a world where love is better than a song, the answer lies within, you think you've seen the light, there's a million things to be, and Lord, though your body has been a good friend, you won't need it when you reach the end.\u003cbr\u003e    -Mark Richardson, Pitchfork - Best New Reissue, February 17, 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    While my heart of hearts would rather have just the Stevens tunes, including the film's joyous theme 'If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out,' this is a great package that sounds fantastic and is packaged with a thick booklet that details the experiences of bringing the music to the movie and its lingering impact on pop culture.\u003cbr\u003e    -Robert Ham, Paste Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e    There is an irrepressible charm to this soundtrack - think of its tender tone and life-affirming message as an instruction manual for healing a troubled soul.\u003cbr\u003e    -Greg Cahill, The Absolute Sound, July\/August 2022, Music 4\/5, Sonics 4\/5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e    50th Anniversary\u003cbr\u003e    Limited Edition\u003cbr\u003e    180g Vinyl\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue \u0026amp; incidental music from the film - included for the first time\u003cbr\u003e    Remastered at Abbey Road Studios\u003cbr\u003e    Enhanced gatefold packaging with embossed text\u003cbr\u003e    Exclusive 36-page booklet with new liner notes \u0026amp; lyrics\u003cbr\u003e    Transcription of Movie Dialogue\u003cbr\u003e    Production Photos\u003cbr\u003e    Made in Germany\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e    Don't Be Shy\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue 1 (I Go To Funerals)\u003cbr\u003e    On The Road To Find Out\u003cbr\u003e    I Wish, I Wish\u003cbr\u003e    Tchaikovsky's Concerto No 1 in B\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue 2 (How Many Suicides)\u003cbr\u003e    Marching Band \/ Dialogue 3 (Harold Meets Maude)\u003cbr\u003e    8 Miles From Nowhere\u003cbr\u003e    Tea For The Tillerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e    I Think I See The Light\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue 4 (Sunflower)\u003cbr\u003e    Where Do The Children Play?\u003cbr\u003e    If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out (Ruth Gordon and Bud Cort vocal)\u003cbr\u003e    Strauss' Blue Danube\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue 5 (Somersaults)\u003cbr\u003e    If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out\u003cbr\u003e    Dialogue 6 (Harold Loves Maude)\u003cbr\u003e    Trouble\u003cbr\u003e    If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out (ending)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP Vinyl\u003cbr\u003eLabel: Interscope\/Geffen\/A\u0026amp;M\u003cbr\u003eCatalog No: 1000047192\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 0602435996820\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Soundtrack\u003cbr\u003eNo of Discs: 1\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 2\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUPC:  602435996820\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cat Stevens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52609001128156,"sku":null,"price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0524\/4443\/0495\/files\/71CJjVpgEkL._SL1500.jpg?v=1790355709","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylprovisions.com\/products\/cat-stevens-harold-and-maude-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-180g-lp","provider":"Vinyl Provisions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
