Jerry Fielding's Scorpio
6-Mar-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with MGM, presents a remastered, slightly expanded CD reissue of Scorpio, one of the most celebrated collaborations between Jerry Fielding and director Michael Winner. This CIA thriller gave Fielding the opportunity to create a haunting Parisian melody, which he surrounds with his trademark complex motifs, aggressive rhythms and electrifying action cues, all done in his unique voice and avant-garde style. Fielding prepared an LP for United Artists Records in 1973, but it was ultimately aborted. It was finally released in 1978 within the Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection in a limited print run. It subsequently made its CD debut on one of the promotional volumes devoted to Jerry Fielding on the Bay Cities label. Intrada released the first official CD edition in 2008 that quickly sold out. For this edition, Chris Malone has rebuilt all the elements and remastered the music in pristine sound. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Jerry Goldsmith's Inchon
22-Feb-2024 - Intrada reissues a popular Jerry Goldsmith action score for Korean War drama Inchon. Master elements for the score all survived in several formats with composer Goldsmith and engineer Len Engel working from and preferring the 1” 8-track masters for the initial CD release and reissue. Subsequently, Intrada created new masters from these elements in tandem with the 1/2” 3-channel stereo film mixes. The first CD offers the original 1982 soundtrack album in the best possible sound, the second CD presents the entire score utilizing the editorial assemblies created by the composer and engineer for their earliest reissue and the third CD carries the complete score in unedited fashion so bars at the end of cues previously edited together now play in their entirety.

John Barry's Octopussy
20-Feb-2024 - La-La Land Records, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, EON Productions and Universal Music Enterprises commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy, with a remastered and expanded 2-CD re-issue of John Barry’s score. Disc One showcases the film’s Score Presentation and additional music, while a remaster of the original 1983 soundtrack album is housed on Disc Two, along with the CD premiere of the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High”. The film score on Disc One was sourced from ¼ inch stereo tapes of the film mixes, while Disc Two’s original 1983 soundtrack and the “Extended Instrumental Version” of “All Time High” are from ¼ inch stereo album masters. All of the tapes were newly transferred in high resolution for this set. For more info and ordering, visit La-La Land Records.

Dave Grusin's Murder By Death

The score was released by Varèse Sarabande on CD in 2018, now it is out of print and a collector’s item. The original 22-track program makes its long-awaited debut on vinyl in two variations in a jacket featuring artwork by iconic cartoonist Charles Addams, sourced from the artist’s original illustration. Murder by Death(1976) was legendary playwright Neil Simon’s send-up of the murder mystery genre, with take-offs of famous detectives invited to undertake an archetypal country-mansion whodunit.

Jerry Fielding's The Nightcomers
30-Jan-2024 - From Intrada Records comes a remastered release of the complex Jerry Fielding horror score The NightcomersJerry Fielding tackles extremely challenging assignment: The music must rest comfortably in the period English vernacular and it needs to underscore the graphic horror and perverse sex taking place within this idyllic countryside locale. It does both in spades! Fielding uses crisp brass fanfares to bookend the story, with swirling consonant musical figures in tow. It is pleasant, even imposing. But lurking ahead are dark, complex sequences for strings that feature memorable sliding lines moving about in opposite directions with a degree of dissonance, ultimately cadencing on chords that exploit bitonality and even polytonality. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.
John Debney's Cutthroat Island
8-Jan-2024 - Quartet Records and StudioCanal present the return of John Debney’s symphonic opus for the adventure classic Cutthroat Island on LP and CD. Keeping up with the massive visuals of the movie was composer John Debney (HOCUS POCUS, WHITE FANG 2, LITTLE GIANTS, THE PASSION OF CHRIST) who led the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Voices for the recording.

Jerry Goldsmith's MacArthur
19-Dec-2023 - Intrada Records comes with the world premiere release of Jerry Goldsmith’s original soundtrack MacArthur! The music anchors with a sturdy, propulsive military march given an unusual introductory idea: left-hand piano rhythms played with mallets on the strings. This dramatic effect reappears in several sequences. But Goldsmith’s march is judiciously used. Newly re-mastered presentation of the original album appears. Complete score is presented from 1/2” 3-channel session masters. Several extras include source material recorded at the sessions plus a powerful specially-recorded performance of Goldsmith’s exciting “Hard Gained Ground” cue from Lonely Are The Brave in which a few seconds of the take are heard as source music in MacArthur. John Neal engineers at The Burbank Studios, Arthur Morton orchestrates, Jerry Goldsmith composes, conducts. Intrada Special Collection 2-CD set now available. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.
Ennio Morricone's Bloodline
18-Dec-2023 - Quartet Records and Paramount Pictures present an expanded and remastered 2-CD edition of 1979 Ennio Morricone’s classy thriller-drama score for BloodlineA 47-minute soundtrack album of Bloodline was released in 1980 by Varèse Sarabande. The same program was later reissued in their limited CD Club in 2012.  Unfortunately, the film suffered several changes in the final cut, which moved some cues from their original places and omitted several important passages. Disc 1 includes the score as it was conceived by Morricone with music never heard before, plus some delightful source pieces for party and casino sequences that appear here for the first time. Disc 2 includes the newly remixed original soundtrack album as well as numerous alternate versions and extras. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
John Williams' Heidi/Jane Eyre
16-Dec-2023 - Quartet Records, Capitol Records and Universal Music Entertainment, present a 2-CD set with a revised, remastered, slightly expanded edition of scores for two made-for-television films composed by John Williams between 1968 and 1970. Both of these adaptations of classic stories earned Emmy® Awards for John Williams’ original music. Through these scores, the composer shaped the destinies of two classic literary characters as well as his own. The discovery of the original ½″ four-track masters from Heidi containing all of the cues selected for the 1968 narrated story album facilitated an attentive new mix of the music and a presentation in narrative order. For Jane Eyre, a new high-resolution transfer of the 1971 ¼″ stereo album master was provided by Universal Music Group, with audio then fully restored. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.
Marco Beltrami's Silent Night

Composer Marco Beltrami answers this challenge in riveting fashion - with an inventive, immersive original score that brilliantly serves as the film’s core “voice,” communicating the characters’ highly-charged emotions and thoughts, while expertly supporting all the pulse-pounding action and deep pathos.

Paul Sawtell/Bert Shefter's Los Marcados
28-Nov-2023 - Kronos Records present for the first time on any format, Los MarcadosThe beautiful, action packed soundtrack was composed and conducted by the dynamic duo of composers of both the Golden and Silver Age Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter. Los Marcados is undoubtedly one of the duo´s finest and also one of their very last unfortunately since Paul Sawtell passed away the same year the film was released. Los Marcados is a very unorthodox Western score, full of very innovative orchestrations that with all the elements make up for a driving and dynamic yet also pretty melodic piecce of work that is not just as an excellent accompaniament for the motion picture and beautiful soundtrack but also as a standalone composition! Kronos Records is proud to present this soundtrack in its entirety and film order and for the first time ever in any format!  For more info and ordering, visit Kronos Records.

Different but complementary, the works reflect the eclectic and evocative style that has made him one of the most respected names in contemporary music. In recent years, Alberto Iglesias has devoted himself to the development of these two albums, opening doors to a universe that goes far beyond the cinematographic, where mystery, sensuality and poetry are at the service of his music.
