Jay 37,322 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Quote ROAD HOUSE – 30th ANNIVERSARY: LIMITED EDITION LLLCD 1509 Music by Michael Kamen Limited Edition of 2000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $19.98 STARTS SHIPPING NOV 8 Orders start 12 noon (pst) on 11/5 at www.lalalandrecords.com La-La Land Records, MGM and the Michael Kamen Estate proudly present the expanded and remastered re-issue of the original motion picture score to the big-screen ‘80s action classic ROAD HOUSE starring Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott and Kelly Lynch, and directed by Rowdy Herrington. Legendary composer Michael Kamen (LETHAL WEAPON 1-4, DIE HARD 1-3, THE LAST BOY SCOUT) closes out the 1980s with yet another dynamite action score, capping a thrilling decade’s worth of classic action music -- and suggesting still further exciting scores to come in the 1990s. Kamen’s work was a perfect fit for the action films he scored – expertly supporting large-scale thrills and chills, but always finding the true drama in the film’s narrative and the beating heart in its heroes – and ROAD HOUSE is no exception. This expanded and remastered re-issue, produced by Neil S. Bulk in collaboration with the Michael Kamen Estate and mastered by Doug Schwartz, (from high resolution transfers of the recently located, complete set of original 3-Track stereo mixes), arrives in time for the film’s 30th Anniversary and is limited to 2000 units. The exclusive and in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond, and the fist-flying art design is by Dan Goldwasser. The last six tracks on this presentation (in the “additional music” portion) are sourced from the previous Intrada release, and we thank that label for their inclusion.

mstrox 6,647 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I'm glad they found better elements for this, since I know the Intrada edition was missing a bit. The score itself isn't for me, but I'm always happy when a score can be preserved correctly. Naïve Old Fart and Jay 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1977 1,743 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Fantastic! I've been building my Kamen collection this year and was wondering how I would fill this gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corellian2019 384 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Interesting how a lot of tracks on this release are shorter than the Intrada album, and supposedly the Intrada album was assembled from the 24-track masters. Maybe the music was tracked and swapped around for the final film, and the 24-track masters conformed to that mix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,322 Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 I hope so, but MV has already posted that they can't license their next Bond title until after Bond 25 has come and gone. Naïve Old Fart and Yavar Moradi 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corellian2019 384 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Great release! Glad to have the film mixes w/ the synth and piano overdubs for various cues. It appears that the original harmonica ending to "The Final Confrontation" and "Final Theme" weren't carried over from the Intrada CD for some reason, but overall, a great release!

Jay 37,322 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 "Final Theme" is "Wesley’s Fall" here, no? As for Final Confrontation, isn't' that why there's a film version in track 16 and an alt version in track 30? Neil is very meticulous with making sure everything is included, I can't imagine there's anything on the Intrada that isn't here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "Final Theme" was a cue composed for the end credits that was ultimately unused. On the Intrada CD, track 13 combined "Final Confrontation" with a version of "Wesley's Fall" that had a different ending, heard at 5:31 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
