Howdy, y’all
On June 19, 2012 at 1 pm PST La-La Land Records saddles up and heads out West for not one, but TWO Jerry Goldsmith Westerns.
STAGECOACH/THE LONER
Music by Jerry Goldsmith
LLLCD 1215
Limited Edition of 2000 units
Retail Price: $19.98
Produced by Nick Redman and Mike Matessino
Mastered by Daniel Hersch at d2 Mastering
Liner notes by Julie Kirgo
Art Direction by Jim Titus
The first hombre coming down the trail is the score to the 20th Century Fox’s 1966 remake of STAGECOACH. This rousing adventurous romp was originally released by Film Score Monthly back in 1998, but is now out of print. For this newly remastered and expanded release, Producers Nick Redman and Mike Matessino located the original score elements, including the missing banjo overlay and 10 extra minutes of never-before-released music, and have given new life to one of Jerry’s finest western scores. Detailed liner notes by Julie Kirgo and fantastic art direction by Jim Titus round out this incredible looking package. As an added bonus, two scores from the short lived tv series THE LONER are included in this 56 minute presentation.
RIO LOBO
Music by Jerry Goldsmith
LLLCD 1221
Limited Edition of 3000 units
Retail Price: $19.98
Produced by Ford A. Thaxton
Mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland
Liner notes by Jeff Bond
Art Direction by Mark Banning
La-La Land Records and CBS are proud to announce the reissue of another classic Goldsmith Western score – RIO LOBO, starring the one and only John Wayne.
About a year ago I was going through my Goldsmith collection and realized I missing Prometheus’ wonderful RIO LOBO release. I immediately jumped online and went to eBay only to discover the cd was going for $60.00! I said, “The hell with that! I’m not paying $60 for a cd. . .but I will pay several thousand to license it again!” (Sometimes, it’s good to own a record company.)
Please note: This is not an exact reissue -- the sound has been improved and tracks have been added/shuffled around. For this release Tracks 1-14 feature the score in mono. Tracks 15-24 features various source cues recorded for the film. Track 25 is an alternate cue and Tracks 26-30 feature the only surviving stereo cues. This 78 minute long presentation contains in depth liner notes by Goldsmith scholar Jeff Bond and eye-popping art direction by Mark Banning that would make the Duke proud.
Both titles go on sale next Tuesday, June 19, 2012 at 1 PM PST at
