Other orgers have mentioned this it seems (see above for exactly reference if needed.) Do any of you remember where you read it? This is news to me and would be so interesting to read about. It is a shame Michael and Prince both couldn't have made Batman albums and had it been a double album! This is indeed true. This was in Tim Burton's own first "semi-official" autobiography, that came out in the late 90s. So it's not hearsay at all. | |

If I remember correctly he just says a few lines, basically the same thing that was posted earlier about the "lighter" side and the "darker" side. Not worth looking for, definitely. Actually I think it would have been a really dumb idea to do the soundtrack that way.  | |
