WALT DISNEY PICTURES AND TELEVISION: GEPPETTO 17-TRACK PROMO
Geppetto: The Disney musical starred Drew Carey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Brent Spiner, and Usher, with original songs by Stephen Schwartz, who also wrote songs for Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Wicked.
It premiered on ABC on May 7, 2000.
In an archived interview, Schwartz explained that all the songs were recorded before filming began, and that additional orchestration, underscore, mixing, and soundtrack work happened afterward. A contemporary interview with Drew Carey independently confirms that he recorded the songs in spring 1999, followed by rehearsals and six weeks of filming.
All four compositions were commercially released, but this has individual playback edits, count-ins, and rough mixes are not documented on the regular soundtrack. The songs were recorded before shooting, but a New York Public Library production archive places
Geppetto
shooting materials in June–July 1999. So this June 7 disc may have been prepared for filming already underway, rather than strictly before filming.
The annotations are especially important:
“Final For Playback” suggests recordings prepared for use during production.
“Rough Mixes” indicates mixes that might differ from the eventual finished soundtrack.
“6 warning beats,” “7 warning beats,” etc. are consistent with musical count-ins used to synchronize performers and choreography with prerecorded music.
The some tracks have metronome beats at the beginning and sometimes in the middle, which makes this especially interesting. That strongly suggests these were production playback recordings prepared to synchronize singing, acting, or choreography during filming... not ordinary soundtrack versions.

Film Score
Walt Disney Pictures and Television has produced a wide range of film and television music, commissioning scores and songs for family-oriented productions. As the studio behind many classic soundtracks, its music divisions oversee composition, arrangement, and production to fit narrative and editorial needs. This document is presented as a production playback assembly credited to the studio and intended for use during post-production. The content and formatting reflect an in-house approach to organizing cues, edits and reprises for screening and editorial review.
Geppetto (dated 6/7/99) appears to be a compilation of score cues and rough mixes associated with the TV film, laid out as short intros, reprises and split cue parts. The listing includes cues such as "Since I Gave My Heart Away", "And Son", "Toys" and "Empty Heart" presented in multiple parts and edits for playback. Many entries are labeled Final For Playback or Final For Playback - Rough Mixes, indicating preparation for editorial use rather than a commercial album release. The material showcases typical film scoring practice of multiple cue variants and short edits to fit picture timing.

For CD Player
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
