“TORN CURTAIN: REMASTERED & EXPANDED LIMITED EDITION” Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection Music composed and conducted by John Addison Unused score recording composed and conducted by Bernard Herrmann Limited Edition of 3000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $22.98 STARTS SHIPPING MAY 14 STARTS SHIPPING MAY 14 Available to order on MAY 7, 2024 starting at 12 noon (pst) at www.lalalandrecords.com La-La Land Records and Universal Studios proudly present the twentieth title within the acclaimed Universal Pictures Film Music Classics Collection – TORN CURTAIN, a remastered and expanded limited edition CD release of the original motion picture score to the 1966 dramatic thriller directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock, and starring Paul Newman and Julie Andrews. This special release, produced in partnership with Universal Music Enterprises, showcases the original film score, composed and conducted by John Addison (THE ENTERTAINER, TOM JONES) as well as the film’s unused score recording by Bernard Herrmann (VERTIGO, PSYCHO). With ’60s era pop sensibilities infused throughout, composer John Addison’s score to TORN CURTAIN marked a musical departure for Hitchcock, providing a notable contemporary style and sound for its time. Addison’s work lends a bright sense of fun and romance to the film, in addition to expertly satisfying the story’s requirements for drama and suspense. Composer Bernard Herrmann’s final work for Hitchcock is a darker, more traditional affair, demonstrating the renowned maestro’s excellence in the grand tradition of his previous collaborations with the director. Produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino from high resolution transfers of pristine 3-track stereo vault masters, this special presentation features Addison’s score sounding better than ever, and expanded by almost double the running time of the 1966 Decca album. Herrmann’s unused score presents all material he captured during his one day of recording for the film. Herrmann’s material here is expanded by more than eight minutes beyond what was previously released in 1999. Limited to 3000 units, this CD release includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by author Jeff Bond and sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser.

More pics as posted on Facebook Intrada Soundtrack Club page by Paul Lewis:

Then it must be a seperate Audio channel.

It does say Blu Ray Video.

Somebody sent me the box pics of this ridiculously over priced set. It's just bloody thin slip cover holding the cds. Talk about being cheap!

I'm in the same boat with CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES, THE LAST STARFIGHTER... both previous and latest expanded reissues still unopened. Ugh. P.S. Iam glad I passed the $65 resale from FSM Sale !!

QUARTET RECORDS Announces HOLST: THE PLANETS Conducted by Bernard Herrmann Music Performed by London Philharmonic Orchestra First-ever solo CD edition of the unique, fascinating and controversial Bernard Herrmann recording of Gustav Holst’s THE PLANETS! Quartet Records, in collaboration with Decca Classics and Universal Music Enterprises, presents a remastered CD edition of the unique, fascinating and controversial Bernard Herrmann recording of Gustav Holst’s THE PLANETS. Recorded during his post-Hollywood period when he was based in London, it was one of several albums he conducted for Decca Records’ Phase Four series, featuring both his own music and that of other composers. THE PLANETS has always been considered something of a cursed album, yet it is loved by his fans for an interpretation that is more Herrmann than Holst. The recording was not universally acclaimed when it was released. This was in part because several recordings of the work already on the market were considered classics, thus setting a very high bar for new entries. Some listeners, however, found the heavy tread of Herrmann’s “Mars” an actual plus, its mechanistic bombast far more threatening and imposing than the composer’s own recorded performance. Herrmann’s slow trek through the “big tune” in “Jupiter” was more widely criticized, but Herrmann was far from the only conductor who favored slower tempi in the later stages of their career—including in some of the Phase Four recordings of his own music. Nevertheless, Herrmann’s THE PLANETS sold well. Although reissued several times on LP in the 1970s, Herrmann’s recording of THE PLANETS was only released on CD in Australia in 2011 as part of a Holst compilation on Decca Eloquence. This new, first-ever solo CD edition has been restored and mastered by Chris Malone from the original master tapes transferred by UME in the UK, and features brilliant, extensive liner notes by classical and film music writer Frank K. DeWald alongside the original LP liner notes by renowned musicologist Harry Halbreich. Tracklist: 1. Mars, The Bringer of War (8:43) 2.Venus, The Bringer of Peace (10:04) 3. Mercury, The Winged Messenger (4:34) 4. Jupiter, The Bringer of Jollity (9:06) 5.Saturn, The Bringer of Old Age (9:31) 6. Uranus, The Magician (6:54) 7. Neptune, The Mystic (8:11) Total Disc Time: 57:06 https://quartetrecords.com/product/the-planets/

QUARTET RECORDS ANNOUNCES UNCOMMON VALOR-EXPANDED Music Composed and Conducted by JAMES HORNER Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents a remastered, slightly expanded reissue of James Horner’s classic war score for UNCOMMON VALOR (1983), directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Gene Hackman, Robert Stack and young up-and-comers Patrick Swayze and Fred Ward. The film is a dramatic action picture centered on retired U.S. Marine Colonel Jason Rhodes, who recruits a motley crew of soldiers and leads them on a clandestine operation in Laos. Their mission is the rescue of unacknowledged U.S. prisoners of war (POWs) left behind after the withdrawal from Vietnam, including Rhodes’ son, officially declared missing in action (MIA). The possible existence of such POWs was a topic of considerable interest during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The messy conclusion of the Vietnam War, coupled with the scandals of the Nixon era, had left many Americans alienated from their government and deeply skeptical of official claims that there was no evidence of living POWs in the former war zone. James Horner was only 30 years old when he was hired to compose UNCOMMON VALOR, but he was already a seasoned composer with such successful films in his career as STAR TREK II, KRULL, BRAINSTORM and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, and he was about to enter the A-list of composers in Hollywood with his upcoming hit scores for ALIENS, AN AMERICAN TAIL and COCOON. Horner provides an inventive and effective score, robustly orchestral while endowed with exciting electronic rhythms and Vietnamese textures. Intrada Records issued the premiere release of UNCOMMON VALOR in 2014 and it quickly sold out. This new, remastered edition adds about 10 minutes of alternate takes. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Chris Malone, it features in-depth liner notes by film music writer John Takis. Tracklist: 1. Vietnamese Solo / Main Title (7:31) 2. Airport (2:21) 3. Tag (2:49) 4. A Lot of us Have Been Killed (1:26) 5. Steal the Sucker (1:44) 6. First trek / Yellow Rain (2:45) 7. Pan Over Hill / Wilkes in Tunnel (7:35) 8. Attack Airbase (3:14) 9. Escape Airbase (3:22) 10. Copters Over Hill (2:51) 11. Final Escape (2:21) 12. End Credits (3:42) 13. Brothers in the Night* (4:48) Bonus Tracks 14. Main Title (Alternate Mix) (7:15) 15. Main Title Extension (Expanded) (3:08) 16. Parade Ground (3:58) 17. Main Title Extension Vietnamese Overlay (Alternate) (3:15) Total Disc Time: 64:14 *Performed by Ray Kennedy • Written by Ray Kennedy, Kevin Dukes and David Ritz https://quartetrecords.com/product/uncommon-valor/

I think Matessino does have a foot inside Disney. I'm sure he has or would have pitched about STAR WARS/INDIANA JONES Expansions but it has to be about the right timing. Disney is a big corporate and its formidable giant on its own. There are many hurdles that need to be crossed. So we just have to wait and see.

I only ordered the SACD version from Japan becuase of the format. Plus mine might have some exclusive printed memobrilia here.

The Japanese edition is a hybrid SACD/CD

At least the Japanese edition with the Hybrid SACD/CD still available. https://store.universal-music.co.jp/product/ucgg9233/?sci_refl=1

Not sure if it's the dog but my friend (who works as an editor for Director Joe Dante) mailed it to me ll.

Some stuff from last week...

I'm going to order it very soon but looking to merge with SPECIES and maybe the new Varese Club titles (coming on Friday) NIGHTBREED is indeed a terrific and mesmerising score. Its prime vintage Danny Elfman from the BATMAN era. The exotic percussion and the pre Edward Scissorhand like Choir is just a terrific blend of the classic Elfman sound. Not to be missed!! And that opening credits music is so hypnotic and profound. I get goosebumps listening to it each time.

My favourite cue after the Main Title of LIFEFORCE.

Since I made the the preorder more than a month ago then iI should be able to get the Calendar in the SACD edition.

I have a Total Recall of that.

Sadly it's not available to my region. Can I get a rip or download of this from somewhere?
