DANNY ELFMAN/TIM BURTON CD and book box set


"Danny Elfman's journey as a musician and his groundbreaking collaboration with director Tim Burton on 13 films, from Pee-wee's Big Adventure to Alice in Wonderland, is one of the most surprising and unusual stories in Hollywood. From their mutual, boyhood love of movies to Elfman's years as head of the rock band Oingo Boingo, from Burton's early, iconoclastic tenure at Disney, Elfman and Burton chart a path from quirky, low-budget comedies to the blockbuster Batman franchise, classics like Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and worldwide blockbusters like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Alice in Wonderland. Extensive interviews with Elfman, Burton, and over 70 of their collaborators and peers from film directors to musicians and fellow composers illuminate Danny Elfman's wide-ranging career as one of the most original musical voices in film and the ways in which his ongoing artistic relationship with Tim Burton has enriched both men's bodies of work."

I found out the ELFMAN/BURTON set I am assisting with will be limited to 3,000 copies from WARNER MUSIC GROUP!
