Tue, March 23, 2004 - 12:42 PMAndy wrote music for the movie James And The Giant Peach, but sadly the studio rejected it (bastards!) and went and got Randy Newman to do the soundtrack.
I suspect that the "James" songs were never fully recorded nor released. =(

Wed, March 24, 2004 - 4:59 PMYou should get some of the Andy Partridge "Fuzzy Warbles". I have managed to entertain my kids with a careful selection of songs...including the "James and the Giant Peach" stuff.
