Does anyone know which Laurel & Hardy silent films were issued from Backhawk with magnetic sound musical scores?

I'm pretty sure that "Your Darn Tootin" and "Big Business" were.

Am I right about those two?

Any others?

I've heard the rumor that there is Wrong Again with a music track but it is a little rare. I would like to get it though.

my collection list says sound on wrong again but i need to go back and see if it was a talkie or scored.

Shorty should know - he's the expert on Laurel & Hardy Blackhawk films

I have a 1977 Blackhawk catalog and the only Laurel and Hardy silents they have listed as available in super 8 sound are TWO TARS, BIG BUSINESS, YOU'RE DARN TOOTIN' and LIBERTY. However, I also own a super 8 sound version of DOUBLE WHOOPEE from Blackhawk, obviously released sometime after 1977.

Expert? Far from any truth - There seems to be more of a re-surgence of interest in L&H as of late - Great news to any Son of The Desert - Here are the SCORED Silents; (Blackhawk scored from Perry and Carter usually, all magnificent)

BATTLE OF THE CENTURY (Both Pie Fight and Reel 1)
YOUR DARN TOOTIN
LIBERTY
TWO TARS
WRONG AGAIN (Vitaphone Disc)
THAT'S MY WIFE (Vitaphone Disc)
HABEAS CORPUS
BACON GRABBERS (Vitaphone Disc)
BIG BUSINESS
ANGORA LOVE (Vitaphone Scored) - This is the only one I need

Thanks from Shorty

Thanks Shorty. Good info.

Kevin - So "Double Whoopee" is available as a scored print too...right?

Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on June 11, 2013, 11:52 AM:

No, Blackhawk released it Silent, no score on this - In 1969, Chuck McCann did both voices on a 16 release I think, but not Super 8

Posted by Kevin Meyer (Member # 2268) on June 11, 2013, 12:32 PM:

This is not the Chuck McCann version. It is definitely a Blackhawk print but I am wondering if someone had their silent print striped and then recorded the soundtrack from the videotape release from the Nostalgia Archive onto the super 8 print. It is a music effects track.

I have the Chuck McCann dubbed sound version of Double Woopie..It's great

One can stripe any silent and record what you will, though Blk never released WHOOPEE in with a track
