Ladyhawke (Original Release)

Notes on the Genoa bootleg
This album was available on compact disc as a limited edition (of 2000) from Genoa Records of Italy.

This release has been confirmed non-official nor granted by Warner Brothers or Atlantic. It is indeed a bootleg.

However, the sound quality isn't too bad. I think this album already has a high degree of treble myself. The manufacturer/distributor list a false address, as verified indirectly by rabulias@netcom.com on the mailing list. Upon scanning the "Film Score Monthly" magazine, he found that a subscriber from Italy checked the address and found it to be bogus. Additionally, Steve Martin sent a postcard to that address which was returned-to-sender.

The liner cover consists of the LadyHawke album cover, i.e. black with Isabeau's face on top-center-right, above Isabeau- as-a-hawk perched on Phillipe's head. The back of the liner is the same as the back of jewel box, with Navarre riding a horse under the midday sun.

Inside the liner notes on the left are the track titles and credits as found on the album. The right side features the movie credits starting with "WARNER BROS. and TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX present...," and concluding with (c) 1985 Warner Bros. & Twentieth Century Fox. All Rights Reserved. RELASED BY WARNER BROS. A WARNER COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY" (misspelling of "released" is taken verbatim). The liner on the rear of the jewel box features both the track titles and movie credits along with the following at the bottom:

"Manufactured by Genoa Records Via Agazio 36C-7 16151 Genoa, Italy"

The spine/edge of the liner states: "LADYHAWKE" with a cata- log number of GRCD-1014. However, on the compact disc itself, under "Genoa", a flattened treble clef, and "Records," the catalog number is GRLE-CD1014. The rest of the CD has the title, and track listings. The ring of text along the edge of the CD (twice consecutively) states:

"All rights of the producer and of the owner of the work reproduced reserved. Unauthorized copying, hiring, lending, public performance and broadcasting of this record prohibited! Made in Italy. (c)1985 (p)1993".

On both the rear liner and the compact disc, the following text appears: Limited Edition [BOX] of 2,000". The empty [BOX] on the rear liner is written in with silver highlighter with the issue number (of 2000), and the [BOX] on the CD is purple and is also written with the issue number in silver highlighter.
