Good eveeeeeeeeeeeening.

So what have I missed?

The death was announced on Sunday of British director Peter Yates. He was 81. He directed such classics as BULLITT, THE DEEP, EYEWITNESS, KRULL, THE DRESSER, SUSPECT and numerous episodes of the TV series THE SAINT.

So what Herrmann masterpieces can we expect to see released this year? I'm hoping for legitimate releases of PSYCHO and MARNIE. Wouldn't it be interesting to see if the master sesssion tapes to THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY and THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH can be retrieved from the Universal vaults. Any further thoughts on the matter?

Someone had to mention it so let it be me ;-)

Limited Edition of 3000 Units
SPECIAL LaLaLandRecords.com SALE PRICE: $14.98

Presenting the world premiere release of acclaimed composer James Horner’s (ALIENS, GLORY, TITANIC, AVATAR) score to the 1995 Paramount Pictures feature film JADE, starring David Caruso, Linda Fiorentino and Chazz Palminteri, directed by William Friedkin. Previously unavailable in any format, this release of Horner’s erotically charged, Asian-tinged score finally takes its place in his soundtrack canon of notable 1990’s works. 1995 proved to be an especially successful year for Mr. Horner, having released scores to such films as CASPER, BRAVEHEART, APOLLO 13, JUMANJI and BALTO. This release of JADE now fills the hole in one of his most important years as a composer!

Produced for La-La Land Records by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Mike Matessino from ½ inch Paramount vault materials, this release contains bonus tracks that include Loreena McKennitt’s “The Mystic’s Dream” and the classical piece “Le Sacre du Printemps,” both of which are featured in the film’s score. Exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Daniel Schweiger feature comments from the film’s director, William Friedkin. Art direction is by Mark Banning.
