Toy Story 3 crew exclusive soundtrack CD
Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich had the world-class Pixar publicity team send me a copy of the special crew-exclusive Toy Story 3 soundtrack on CD; it arrived in my mailbox this afternoon.
Given out as a gift to studio employees, the complete soundtrack by Randy Newman is not sold anywhere and contains all the music from the film —about twice as much music than included on the publicly-available 'TS3' soundtrack album, which can be purchased only as a digital download.
It has a remarkable 73 tracks on two discs, running 1:01 hour, including four bonus ones from short film Day & Night, composed by Michael Giacchino. The track names sometimes differ from those of the regular album. For example, the exhilarating opening track is here called "Blue Sky", while in the released version it takes the name "Cowboy!"
The back of the cardboard packaging (not pictured) features a message from Unkrich and Darla K. Anderson —with an appreciation of composer Newman— and bears small Walt Disney Records and Pixar logos.

He thanks me for my "support and fandom" on the blog.
A big thank-you to Lee and the Pixar team for the gift.
