Well, here is is on UK Amazon. It's a lot more expensive than I thought it would be... better get saving....

EDIT: Turns out all the sellers are American. Maybe there isn't an official UK release, then

Copies will probably be sold at some local stores at a later date in other regions. Some of Australia's entertainment retailers(such as JB Hi Fi) will be getting it on the 4th of July.

Also, regarding early impressions of the release, it seems the quality of these new mixes are greatly improved compared to the recording sessions, but there is one minor annoyance. They had "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" segue into the following cue "Remember Who You Are," resulting in the later piece awkwardly beginning with the sound of Pumbaa's snorting from the end of the previous track before the score picks up again.

That's 27.26 €, then just add shipping on it

At least there's no tariff between EU countries

^ I don't get why it's that much more expensive for you guys. On the American site it is $14.88, which is only 10.95 euros. I guess it's just because it's shipping to another country.

I bought TLK Diamond Edition for 59.95 € when it came out. After 1-2 months it was only 10-20 €. It's new yet so its price is high as well

Maybe it'll be put onto youtube, so I can at least listen to it. Though, the art work and stuff looks so cool

[MooLion]

Yeah, a little pricey... I may well just wait for a bit in hope they will get in to stores soon. Hopefully they're not doing a limited number run though, or it could be a pain.:0

I Just got my copy of the soundtrack! , wow.... I have never heard the music sound this good! , the first thing i noticed is that the score has been mastered and remixed and now it sounds amazing!, there are things that i never noticed before and it sounds like things have been added in such as many african chants and choirs during This Land, the music when Simbas ascends Pride Rock, Can You Feel The Love Tonight and many more.

You can hear all of the instruments and everything and it's just awesome . There are some improvements from previous soundtrack releases such as - both Nala and Simba saying See here instead of Nala singing it solo in I Just Can't Wait To Be King, (i always found that strange) Hakuna Matata is longer (in previous versions it would go straight to the music when Simba eats the grub after the music where Timon and Pumbaa show Simba their home)

The score demo's are really interesting, some of them dont sound too different to the actual score but they are really cool! and the instrumental of Circle Of Life sounds so beautiful!

I seriously hope that this new mastered/remixed score is put into the movie for it's next release because i think it sounds incredible! - The CD's artwork is great too

[Haraka]

Sooo you recomend it then ? sounds great , but any specific on the 30 min of non released score ?

[ASHLEY12354]

oh yeah i definitely recommend it! the non released score is all these score demo's
“We Are All Connected” Score Demo
“I Was Just Trying to Be Brave” Score Demo
“Stampede” Score Demo
“Mufasa Dies” Score Demo
“This Is My Home” Score Demo
“The Rightful King” Score Demo

and the instrumental of Circle Of Life

Like i said above most of these don't sound too different to the actual score but they are very interesting to listen to as you get to hear how the score originally would have sounded. You can hear slightly different instruments being used and so for me it gave a new experience of the music

This instrumental of Circle Of Life is amazing. I know that there is a few out there and so technically it isn't non released but all of the ones i've heard never sounded like this. - it starts off with African chanting which can be heard faintly in the background when Lebo M performs the opening chant but you can just hear this chanting and it sounds beautiful!.
