La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Capitol Records/UME are proud to present Elmer Bernstein’s rousing score to the classic Academy Award winning John Wayne Western TRUE GRIT. After waiting decades for a proper release fans can finally rejoice in this definitive presentation of one of the genre’s greatest films! The previous LP/CD, while an interesting experiment, never quite delivered the “goods” for any film score enthusiast. For many, it left them wanting more. Well, now you have it! Mastered from the original ¼ inch mono masters, Producers Lukas Kendall and Neil S. Bulk have put together what Western fans and film score fans alike have been clamoring for over the years! With help by audio wizard Chris Malone and mastering engineer Doug Schwartz fans can finally hear Mr. Bernstein’s score in all its brilliance on cd! In addition to the film score, we have included several songs licensed and recorded for the film including various versions of the Main Title song performed by Glen Campbell, as well as a demo of the song THE EYES OF THE YOUNG performed by Elmer Bernstein himself (co-written by Don Black)! Also included on this set are 3 versions of GO HOME GIRL one version performed by John Hartford and two other versions performed by Glen Campbell. Antique looking booklet design by Jim Titus adds to the authenticity of Jeff Bond’s rustic, informative notes.

Now we go from The Duke to the HAMMER!

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Fox get down and dirty with the World Premiere release of Bill Conti’s score to I, The Jury, based on the best selling novel featuring that iconic private eye Mike Hammer. This thrilling, jazz infused score is quite possibly the coolest soundtrack we have released this year! Like the film itself, the score is loud, sexy and in your face. It takes no prisoners and makes no excuses. Eye catching art direction by Jim Titus make you feel like you are flipping through the seedy pages of a Mickey Spillane novel as you read through the in depth liner notes by film score historian Julie Kirgo, taking you deep inside the pulpy mind of Bill Conti. Quotes from famed pianist Mike Lang round out this stellar package.

Both of these titles go on sale next Tuesday, Sept 24 at 12 pm pst at www.lalalandrecords.com as well as other fine online specialty stores.

Da würden mich bei beiden sehr die Lauflängen interessieren...

[Osthunter]

Der Conti soll ja exquisit sein... Da freu ich mich sehr drauf - zumindest mal auf Hörproben!

[Trekfan]

Das sind doch mal tolle Neuigkeiten mit dem Bernstein! Hatte schon fast die Hoffnung aufgegeben, dass da noch die Bänder existieren.

Da mag ich mal nix sagen, nicht nur für LLL-Verhältnisse ist das Artwork-mässig recht schick geworden.

Das Tracklisting zu True Grit sieht ja toll aus, hat diesen Lukas Kendall Touch!

[Trekfan]

True Grit

 

Bin gerade beim zweiten Hördurchgang. Die Einspielung hat Kraft und Biss, viel besser als Bernsteins spätere, etwas weichgespülte Suite für Varese aus Utah, das zeigte vor ein paar Monaten schon die Shootist CD sehr deutlich.

Schöne Überraschung ist der Titelsong in dem von Bernstein ursprünglich vorgesehenen Arrangement. Sparsamer, rauer, besser. Nicht wie die "Lounge"-Version der LP, die von den Produzenten ausgewählt worden ist.

 

Wunderbare Ergänzung neben der Tadlow-Neueinspielung

Um es nochmal hier zu erwähnen, weil es in der Ankündigung im Kleingedruckten untergeht (und erst in der zweiten Ankündigung steht, nicht in der ersten): der Conti ist leider Gottes in mono. Warum, darüber lässt sich auch das Booklet nicht aus. Besonders bitter, da Conti-Fans schon seit vielen Jahren ein Bootleg des Scores besitzen. Das ist zwar nur 32 Minuten lang ist und spricht somit für einen alten nie veröffentlichten Album-Schnitt. Es hat allerdings einen Vorteil: es ist in feinem stereo.
