Just a few weeks in advance of “Fantastic Mr. Fox”‘s March 23rd release on DVD and BluRay, a digital only release of the lugubriously titled “Fantastic Mr. Fox: Additional Music From The Original Score The Abbey Road Mixes” quietly hit iTunes, Amazon and other outlets last week.
The release expands the 24 minutes of Alexandre Desplat’s Oscar nominated score on the previously released soundtrack to 47 minutes. However, the annoying part is a handful of tracks from the previous soundtrack, including Playlist favorite “Stunt Expo 2004,” “Great Harrowsford Square” and “Just Another Dead Rat In A Garbage Pail (Behind A Chinese Restaurant)” are not included here. So if you want the full Desplat score you have to buy both soundtracks, or digitally purchase all the Desplat songs. Ridiculous.
