2013 catalog number[]

I'm almost positive that it's going to be D001852502, but I'm putting it here in case it's not. -- Ken (talk) 02:37, August 6, 2013 (UTC)

And it is! -- Ken (talk) 02:14, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

cover art[]

What version of the soundtrack was released with [[:Image:MuppetMovieSoundtrack.jpg|this cover art]]? -- Scott, Scarecroe 23:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I dunno... The one I had back in 1979 was the one with Kermit and Piggy in the boat. -- Danny Toughpigs 01:45, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Scott! The link in your message was red. I know that the UK release had a different cover, but I can't find a picture of it. I was hoping we could put it on the page with the US version. Thanks. -- ErnieBert 20:37, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, it was deleted a while ago probably because no one knew what it was. I just tried restoring it, but it's a no go. โ€”Scott (talk) 20:59, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody else have a scan of the UK version? Thanks. -- Ken (talk) 06:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

via kermitage caching, so not the best quality, but here it is. Scott could probably make it prettier. The artist was Drew Struzan and it was the movie poster art. -- Wendy (talk) 06:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Cool! I'm going to make a place for it. Does anybody know the catalog number? After somebody cleans it up, can they put it in? Thanks! -- Ken (talk) 06:42, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I have this version of the record album. I'll check out details when I get home to my collection. Interestingly enough, it contains a different version of "Never Before". This version has a synthesizer orchestration, features a background choir, and Frank's voice is (possibly) a different take (he actually manages to reach the high pitch in key). -- Jogchem 14:34, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Jogchem! I don't think I've talked to you before. Can you confirm that the UK version of "Never Before" is a different take? Because in the movie itself, Frank overshoots the high F#, and then comes back down, but on the US record, he just goes up the scale to it. And the synthesizer and choir backing sounds neat, too. I know the UK movie is longer, so it would be cool to have a different track on the album as well! Thanks! -- Ken (talk) 00:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Here's a short audio clip from the climax: compare this (with the background choir) to the more dramatic string orchestra from the American release... Also, the end note in the movie is shorter because they cut out a few bars from the song. (The same thing was done for "Something Better" in later releases of the movie, where half of the song is missing; whereas the original UK movie left the song intact). --Jogchem 07:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
The version of Never Before on the original UK soundtrack is very different from the version on the US soundtrack. It's more up-tempo with a slight "disco" beat. The same version was used on the 1987 home video release of the movie in the UK. Mister Superstar 18:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
