Twin Towers Talk
Comments Off
Most everyone knows that the Twin Towers are featured in Vanilla Sky. This is becoming a common question for Cameron as he does his whirlwind press tour. Here’s a Crowe quote about why they stayed: “The idea of wiping them away by the computer – I couldn’t do it”, “They’ve already been taken away once; they’ll stay in the movie. Hopefully, the audience will understand it’s a tribute.”

Untitled Vinyl
Comments Off
A very special vinyl double LP version of the Almost Famous soundtrack will be released on December 15th. Here’s the details:
In conjunction with Dreamworks Films special directors cut DVD release of Cameron Crowe’s “ALMOST FAMOUS”, Classic Records is pleased to announce the release of “Untitled” – an inspired reissue of the soundtrack for the Academy Award winning film “Almost Famous”. This two LP set features bonus material by Stillwater the fictitious band featured in the film. The Stillwater tracks were mastered directly by Bernie Grundman from the 1/2″ analog masters (*due to time constraints with this production, digital sources were utilized for the other repertoire). This is a limited edition release with over 500 pieces of collectable memorabilia from the film set itself randomly distributed in the packaging. In fact, Cameron Crowe himself will personally autograph 25 LPs that will be distributed at random as well! Feeling lucky? This jack pot release is rare, attainable and EXTREMELY collectable.
