CORRAL) original motion picture score to the 1957 Paramount Pictures romantic drama WILD IS THE WIND, starring Anna Magnani, Anthony Quinn and Anthony Franciosa, and directed by George Cukor. This 2-CD set, with a running time of almost 108 minutes, gives one of Tiomkin’s forgotten gems its well-deserved deluxe treatment, featuring the original film score, first-time ever released, on Disc 1 and the remastered, original Columbia Records LP re-recording on Disc 2. The film score contains music that was dialed out of the film prior to its release, while the LP re-recording kicks-off with the Johnny Mathis-performed title song. Produced by Lukas Kendall and Didier C. Deutsch, meticulously mastered by Doug Schwartz (Disc 1) and Tim Sturges (Disc 2), and restored by Chris Malone (from ¼’’ mono masters), this special release, limited to 2500 units, features exclusive, in-depth liner notes from writer Frank K.

This special limited edition release features much improved sound and contains some music not previously released. Also, the incorrectly reversed stereo channels on the original soundtrack release have been corrected here. Produced by Mark Snow and Nick Redman, and mastered by Mike Matessino, this exciting release also contains exclusive liners by writer Julie Kirgo and an updated print interview with Snow conducted by film music writer Randall D. Larson. This is a limited edition on 3000 units.

Limited Edition of 1500 Units

Acclaimed composer John Morris finds the perfect pitch with his rousing and delightful orchestral score -- supporting story, character and action with verve, while expertly enhancing, but never stepping on, all the big laughs. Infectious themes abound – the main title being one for the ages! All these years later, the IN-LAWS still holds up as one of the great American comedies – and now finally, Morris’ wonderful score gets its due! Produced by Matt Verboys and Neil S. Bulk and mastered by James Nelson, this special release, limited to 1500 Units, features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by writer Randall D. Larson and smile-ready art direction by David C. Fein.

This 3-CD set features the original scores to all three NAKED GUN films, with the scores to the first two films remastered and greatly expanded beyond previous releases and the world-premiere release of NAKED GUN 33 1/3. Mr. Newborn’s robust orchestral scores to this classic comedy franchise, (created by the legendary ZAZ team of David Zucker, Jim Abrahams and Jerry Zucker), are a wondrous explosion of thrills, suspense, high-octane action and passionate romance – and then there’s that iconic big-band-swing NAKED GUN theme, as iconic, indelible and bigger-than-life than Lt. Frank Drebin himself. This collection features bonus tracks and songs from the films as well, including “I’m in to Something Good,” “I Guess I’m Just Screwed,” the Pia Zadora-performed Academy-Awards show-stopper “This Could be the Start of Something” and quite possibly the greatest rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” ever recorded, sung by opera great Enrico Pallazzo (in a never-before-heard prerecorded performance).

Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this 3-CD limited edition release of 2000 units features a 36-Page Booklet with exclusive liner notes by writer Daniel Schweiger, including comments from the composer and filmmakers.

Personally supervised by Corigliano, this special release of his ground-breaking score was remastered by Mark Wilder and produced by Didier C. Deutsch. In depth, exclusive liner notes from writer Jeff Bond include new comments from the composer as they take you behind one of the most notable films and scores of the 80’s, while Dan Goldwasser’s atmospheric art design takes you deeper into the beyond. A must-have for any soundtrack enthusiast, ALTERTED STATES has returned sounding better-than-ever!

Hamlisch’s robust and thematic score is ripe for discovery – a beautiful and sincere work that is both heartfelt and exciting as it expertly and emotionally ties together all the dramatic and action elements of the film’s clever sci-fi riff on the classic Pinocchio story. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by James Nelson, this special limited release of 1500 units also features the song written for the film, “Somewhere I Belong,” written by Hamlisch/Pitchford and performed by Teddy Pendergast.

Looking forward to Thunderbirds - the music was the best part of both films. A pity there wasn't more music (it's been a long time since I've seen either but I assume there was more in the first film than is on the CD?) and I assume it's been dependent on how much music survived.
But isn't it great that such effort has been gone to put out a CD of the original tracks nearly 50 years down the line? I'll gratefully take whatever music survives, and my thanks to everyone involved with this CD.
By the way, I think that's fantastic artwork....

It's strange that there haven't been more replies to this announcement.
Barry Gray's music for Thunderbirds is some of the greatest T.V./Film music ever written, the man was a genius.
I agree about the artwork, that is some of the best artwork ever to grace a soundtrack album.
Ford, please could you give us fans here some more information as to how the music was assembled etc, just to keep us going until we actually get those precious discs into our hands in a week or so?
Any info would be appreciated.

Loving the Thunderbirds samples. Sounds like Space 1999 (obviously) but only better!
Note: X-files fight the Future graphic shows up twice and goes to Wild is the Wind. There's no Wild is the Wind graphic.
Odd glitch. It worked fine when we put it up. Orders did come through.
Our webmaster will fix the issue around 4 pm pst.
Thanks for the recon!
