Intrada announces one of the most requested soundtrack releases of all time, the '80s version of Disney's TV show DuckTales. Not only have fans pleaded for if for decades, but composer Ron Jones has always wished to showcase his colorful, dynamic and infectious music from the series. Intrada presents the music on a 2-CD set featuring over 100 minutes of episode scores and library tracks. A major ingredient of DuckTales' success was its music, starting with a poppy title theme by Mark Mueller and arranged by Jones. While viewing DuckTales for the first time, Jones was struck by the show's dramatic qualities and powerful sense of imagination. He determined he would score the action no differently than a live-action adventure, a la Indiana Jones, and treat the characters as fully realized individuals. “Huey, Dewey and Louie were kids, not ducks,” Jones reflected. “The story was their lives, their hopes and dreams, their feelings of adventure. Uncle Scrooge had an important role, of course, but it was all about the boys and how they took in the world. That was always in the front of my mind.” While the show embraced multiple genres, the music would be largely symphonic, supplemented with electronics as appropriate.
Of the more than 300 cues composed and recorded for DuckTales, Ron Jones retained nearly 80 in his personal archive, which forms the basis for this premiere album release of the series' underscore. Fortunately, Jones preserved most of the show's major themes and many of its most memorable set pieces. In assembling these cues, CD Producers Neil S. Bulk and John Takis have honored the spirit of the show by gathering them into suites inspired by the episodes for which they were originally written. Library cues that do not appear in these specific episodes have sometimes been integrated into the suites for musical flow. The intention is for each suite to function as a satisfying program while also evoking memories of the story to which it refers. The album features notes by Takis and cover art design by Stephane Coedel.
DuckTales was chiefly inspired by cartoonist and Disney Legend Carl Barks (1901?2000), whose tales of Donald Duck and friends in the pages of Walt Disney's Comics and Stories and other titles had delighted readers since the years surrounding World War II?an era in which Donald Duck eclipsed even Mickey Mouse in popularity. DuckTales is set in the metropolis of Duckburg, where Scrooge McDuck defends his titanic money bin against rival miser Flintheart Glomgold, sorceress Magica de Spell and the criminal Beagle Boys. Of course, the show also retains a central place for precocious nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie.

史上最も要望の多かったサウンドトラックの一つ、ディズニーTVシリーズ『ダックテイルズ』の80年代版がついにリリース！
トラックリストファンが数十年にわたり切望してきただけでなく、作曲家ロン・ジョーンズも常に、このシリーズで生み出したカラフルでダイナミック、そして聴く者を魅了する音楽を披露したいと願ってきた。INTRADAは、エピソードのスコアとライブラリトラックを収録した100分以上の2枚組CDセットでこの音楽を届ける。『ダックテイルズ』の成功の大きな要因は音楽にあった。マーク・ミューラーによるポップなタイトルテーマ（ジョーンズ編曲）がその始まりだ。初めて本作を観たジョーンズは、そのドラマティックな質と圧倒的な想像力に衝撃を受けた。彼は実写の冒険映画（『インディ・ジョーンズ』シリーズのような）と変わらぬ手法でアクションをスコアリングし、キャラクターを完全に確立された個人として扱うことを決意した。「ヒューイ、デューイ、ルーイは子供であって、アヒルではなかった」とジョーンズは振り返る。「物語は彼らの人生、希望と夢、冒険への想いだった。スクルージおじさんも重要な役割を担っていたが、核心は少年たちとその世界への向き合い方。その点を常に意識していた」。番組は多様なジャンルを取り入れたが、音楽は主にシンフォニックを基調とし、必要に応じて電子音で補完された。
『ダックテイルズ』のために作曲・録音された300曲以上の楽曲のうち、ロン・ジョーンズは自身の個人アーカイブに約80曲を保管しており、これが本シリーズの初アルバム化となる本作の基盤となっている。幸いなことに、ジョーンズは番組の主要テーマ曲の大半と、最も印象的な場面の多くを保存していた。CDプロデューサーのニール・S・バルクとジョン・タキスは、これらの楽曲を編集するにあたり、番組の精神を尊重し、各楽曲が元々書かれたエピソードにインスパイアされた組曲としてまとめ上げた。特定のエピソードに登場しないライブラリー楽曲も、音楽的な流れを考慮して組曲に組み込まれている場合がある。各組曲が独立したプログラムとして成立すると同時に、関連する物語の記憶を呼び起こすことを意図している。本アルバムにはタキスによる解説と、ステファン・コエデルによるカバーアートデザインが収録されている。
『ダックテイルズ』は主に、漫画家でありディズニー・レジェンドのカール・バークス（1901-2000）にインスピレーションを得ている。彼の描くドナルドダックと仲間たちの物語は、『ウォルト・ディズニーのコミックス・アンド・ストーリーズ』をはじめとする雑誌で第二次世界大戦前後から読者を魅了し続け、当時ドナルドダックの人気はミッキーマウスさえも凌駕していた。『ダックテイルズ』の舞台は大都市ダックバーグ。スクルージ・マクダックは、巨富の貯蔵庫を、ライバルの守銭奴フリントハート・グロムゴールド、魔女マジカ・デ・スペル、犯罪組織ビーグル・ボーイズから守る。もちろん、早熟な甥たち、ヒューイ、デューイ、ルーイも物語の中心的存在です。
