Popular Post Jay 37,346 Posted July 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2020 Quote TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1526 Music by Ennio Morricone Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection Limited Edition of 3000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $29.98 STARTS SHIPPING JULY 14 Orders start 12 noon (pst) on 7/14 at www.lalalandrecords.com We join the world in mourning the loss of the legendary Ennio Morricone. While initially scheduled as a celebratory release of the film’s 50th Anniversary, it is now our deepest honor to present his TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA as a tribute to his memory and musical legacy. La-La Land Records and Universal Studios proudly present the ninth title within the acclaimed Universal Pictures Film Music Heritage Collection, and the first produced in partnership with Universal Music Special Markets – TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA – 50TH ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED EDITION, music by Ennio Morricone (THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, THE MISSION, THE UNTOUCHABLES). This deluxe release of Morricone’s original motion picture score to the 1970 big-screen western adventure TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA, starring Clint Eastwood and Shirley MacLaine, and directed by Don Siegel, marks the world premiere of the original film version of the late maestro’s score. Orchestra, organ, guitar and choir meld in strikingly original fashion, expertly heightening, enriching and propelling the film’s varied tones, which weave drama, comedy, history and action against a Western backdrop. Disc One of this presentation showcases the full film score for the first time, including material that went unused in the picture and 37 minutes of previously unreleased music – sourced from three-and-six-track Universal Studios vault elements. Disc Two serves up the 1970 Kapp/MCA soundtrack album, newly remastered from the original ¼’’ analog element provided by Universal Music Group. Produced, mixed, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, this special limited edition of 3000 units features exclusive liner notes written by journalist/author Jon Burlingame and sharp art direction by Dan Goldwasser. Of the score, the film’s director Don Siegel said, “The music is among the most original and unusual ever written for a film. As far as I was concerned, Morricone was a genius.” We couldn’t agree more. TRACK LISTING: DISC 1: THE FILM SCORE 1. Main Title (Film Version) * 4:17 2. Dynamite * 1:18 3. Sara’s A Sister * 2:48 4.

Yavar Moradi 2,598 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yup I'm totally in for this, even though I wish it were $25 instead of $30, considering it's only an hourlong score. Can anyone confirm for certain whether the UMG LP album was a re-recording? Yavar bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,519 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I wanna give disc 1 a full listen but I'm pretty likely to order this. The main title's badass, the OST is a lovely guitar exploration kind of like The River's, the film score is more varied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any reason to think it was a re-recording. The press release doesn't mention that, and some of the tracks on the first disc don't have a * next to them, meaning they have the same content as music heard on the LP.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeah, why does it say "(film version)" and there is still no * at the end? The running time of those tracks is the same as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce marshall 1,315 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I'm most interested in cues " unused in the film". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,519 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Main Title (film version)* 4:17 - Main Title (Original Version) 4:17 - Main Title 4:15 - Main Title (Reprise) 3:31 1 and 2 must be different takes, 3 is probably 2 with a differently timed silence before and after, 4 is a third, faster take. The rest are all the same length give or take some seconds but the disc 1 versions have (film version) and no star. Is it that they are from a different source/are a different mix but the same take? Though when I listened to the OST today they didn't seem the complex multilayered cues/recordings that could be mixed so differently. Maybe just the different film and OST elements (sometimes of the same takes) allowed for different degrees of clarity or stereo mixing abilities, so they just present them separately instead of picking one main program with all tracks from the possible source the producer deems best and adding the other's extra tracks as bonus on the end of the one disc they'd all fit on.

Holko 9,519 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I don't have it in me to do a full spreadsheet so just the shared tracks (OST runs a bit faster on all of them): Main Titles - film version is very much different from the OST version - the intro is an entirely different take, the first statement up until the end of the religioso Sara choir is similar, then they branch off again into a different structure (the OST has one more quick choir and braying before going off into the bird imitation interlude and a shorter loud return section after it with less statements of the Gaussian melody and one more choir before going off into the more stripped back orchestration at the end). Original version is an earlier take of the OST version. Reprise is an entirely different faster take that is in fact on Disc 1 under "Two Mules Theme" with a bit more dynamic range. A Time for Miracles - seems to be the same take, strings are much more prominently on the OST but are still prominent in the fim version. La Cueva - there are timing differences here that the speed difference doesn't account for, at least bits must be from a different take. Film version shortens the end transition to the main theme, probably a microedit. La Cantina - seems to be the same, slightly louder in the film version. The Swinging Rope - seems to be the same take, pretty different mix, OST version is a lot wider but the solos are very far-left, film version is more center+left The Battle - seems to be the same take, film version has more dynamic range, the percussion hits peak above the orchestra. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 There's hardly any score that I found so annoyingly repetitive at first, but then suddenly started admiring so much! Again, does someone know which recording/release that performance is from? Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yavar Moradi 2,598 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Yeah I find this LLL expansion totally addictive. Maybe my favorite release of that year! Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
