We are very excited to announce our first GOLDEN AGE title to come down the chute in quite some time (THE BIG COUNTRY being the last major Golden Oldie we did). With the release of A Certain Smile, La-La Land will start to embark on a series of Classic film scores from all over the Golden Age of Hollywood. Names like Newman, Tiomkin, and Waxman (to name a few) will join La-La Land's ever growing family of great composers. This lavish 2 disc production is brought to you courtesy of 20th Century Fox and Sony Music in New York. Disc 1 features the expanded film score derived, and restored, from 35mm film at Fox. Disc 2 is the LP master, remastered from the original 1/2 tapes stored in New York at Sony Music. The incomparable Julie Kirgo provides in depth notes on the score and the film itself. The gorgeous 20 page booklet has that "Titus Touch" that is sure to appeal to fans of this romantic score.
And, of course, the cherry on top is the title song sung by Johnny Mathis, never sounding so lush and vibrant.
We did not forget you fans of the 80's and 90's. Our other treat is brought to you courtesy of MGM Studios.
SPELLBINDER
Music by Basil Poledouris
LLLCD 1177
Limited Edition of 1200 Units
Retail Price: $19.98
Produced by Ford A. Thaxton
Mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland
Liner Notes by Randall D Larson
Art Direction by Mark Banning
When it comes to unusual scores in Mr Poledouris' trunk of music, this one ranks right up there with the likes of Breakdown and No Man's Land. Spellinder is an experimental electronic score that uses mood and technique more than melody. Director Janet Greek and the film's score mixer, Tim Boyle, help guide liner note writer Randall D. Larson through this eeire tale of love, witchcraft and otherworldly music. Mark Banning provides atmospheric art direction.
It's Poledouris. It's a World Premiere. It's 1200 units. Need I write more? 
See y'all back here next week, Tuesday August 16, 2011 at 1 pm PST when these two titles go live on our website and other fine online establishments.

Awesome new about A Certain Smile and your upcoming series of Golden Age scores! Tiomkin will be Fall of the Roman Empire, that'll be another instant purchase. Can't wait to see what Waxman you put out.
Any possibility of getting some of Rozsa's noir scores out there? (Or his Polydor recordings?)

I'm sure the Certain Smile albummaster is stereo. Are the Fox tracks stereo also?
Do we get the Johnny Mathis vocal that is in the film version?
He who reads the full article will find out much:
And, of course, the cherry on top is the title song sung by Johnny Mathis, never sounding so lush and vibrant.

As MV said, it is more a mood score than melody but if memory serves it was a pretty darn creepy score
