I wish Disney had the initiative to do something. i understand they having to give Muppet Musique the death penalty, but they could at least try and release these on CD or something. This is getting rediculous.

Hey, coincidentally, "Magic" is the new album from Bruce Springsteen, as well as the title track on the album.

Fraggle Rock Gets Ready To Roll
A 3-CD collection comes just in time for Halloween


by IGN Music
September 14, 2007

Who doesn't remember Fraggle Rock?

Jim Henson's bugged out subterranean vision carried on with same whimsical tradition he'd put forth on such sublimely seminal projects as Sesame Street, The Muppet Show (and subsequent movies), Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth.

As with both The Muppet Show and movies, as well as Labyrinth, Fraggle Rock was instilled with an amusing musical attitude. In fact the show was so focused on music that during its run there were no less than three accompanying albums released, each one chock full of tunes featured in the show.

Long out-of-print, the music of Fraggle Rock will get a new lease on life come October 30th, 2007. That's when Koch Records will release Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock: Fraggle Rockin' -A Collection, a whopping 3-CD collector's edition that brings together all three of the original albums - newly remastered versions, no less - into a singular digi-pack set packed to bursting with rarely seen photos and contributions from the original composers.

As with the bulk of Henson's material an emphasis on harmony, both among species and within nature, was a core thematic element of the Fraggle Rock series. To this end music was used to not only enliven the show, but to help slip these messages of love and peace out into the world in a sly, playful manner.

The three Fraggle Rock albums - Fraggle Rock, Fraggle Rock: Perfect Harmony, Fraggle Rock: Music and Magic - features songs performed by the Fraggles, Doozers and Gorgs. The music from the show was composed by Dennis Lee and Philip Balsam with musical direction courtesy of Don Gillis.

Well if they bring the box out in the land down under I may get it as I do not have any of the original LPs.

Well its Oct 30th, but there are no comments or reviews on the net about this CD set?

I ordered from Amazon.co.uk, as I live in the UK, but had an email saying that the publisher has postponed its release date by 2 weeks? Has anyone in USA seen or bought the set today?

I ordered mine from Amazon, and it shipped today. It estimates an 11/2 delivery date.

Since Amazon usually delivers on or before release date for a pre-ordered item, I think there might be a slight delay overall (I also checked Target and Circuit City and neither had it).
