Quartet Records is glad to present its new release SUMMER RENTAL / CRITICAL CONDITION Music Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri Limited Edition of 1000 units Release date: 08/26/2014 World premiere release of two eighties comedy scores composed by legendary American composer Alan Silvestri (The Delta Force, Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Forrest Gump, The Avengers, Cosmos) Summer Rental (1985) was directed by Carl Reiner (Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, The Man With Two Brains, That Old Feeling) and starred John Candy, Richard Crenna and Rip Thorn. For this comedy, Silvestri provided a hot and catchy Caribbean sound along with full-orchestral action cues. Critical Condition (1987), a successful vehicle for the late actor Richard Pryor, was directed by Michael Apted (Gorky Park, Class Action, Nell). The short score by Alan Silvestri has been eagerly requested by collectors over the years, but has remained unreleased until now. This score belongs to the era when the composer was making the most use of electronics, mixing Synclavier, saxophone and full orchestra in some passages. Both scores have been sourced from stereo session masters vaulted at Paramount Pictures and sound stunning. Package includes a full-color 12-page booklet with liner notes by Andy Dursin. This release of Summer Rental and Critical Condition fills a sizable gap from the breakthrough period in Alan Silvestri’s film scoring career. The collective energy of the two scores is simply, undeniably infectious. This title is available for order and shipping from now. Please visit www.quartetrecords.com

I remember loving the Critical Condition opening theme when I heard it in the early 90s. But listening to the samples, Summer Rental maybe sounds more interesting.

(good luck getting away with some of the jokes in that today, like our hero seeing a sexy female patient and being turned on until she says "I have AIDS") That is so horribly funny, in a most dated way.
