The latest CD from Intrada features the original LP tracks (originally featured on their Elmer Bernstein: The Ava Collection set) from two early '60s scores by Elmer Bernstein, his masterpiece TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD and WALK ON THE WILD SIDE.
La-La Land has announced their October releases, due this week: the fourth volume of their GOLDSMITH AT 20TH series, pairing two aviation-related 70s scores, the Pearl Harbor epic TORA! TORA! TORA! and the sentimental barnstorming drama ACE ELI AND RODGER OF THE SKIES; and a re-release of their expanded edition of John Carpenter and Shirley Walker's score for the 1996 sci-fi sequel, ESCAPE FROM L.A.
Silva has announced an unexpected treat for John Barry fans -- the first-ever commercial release of his only score for director Blake Edwards, for the 1974 romantic spy drama THE TAMARIND SEED, pairing Omar Sharif and Julie Andrews (lthough it's far from being a 007 movie, it does have an unmistakable title sequence by Bond great Maurice Binder, which looks a little like what 007 titles might look like if Bond had a desk job)
The latest Deluxe Edition from the Varese Sarabande CD Club is a two-disc release of Graeme Revell's music for the 1994 cult hit THE CROW, featuring an expanded version of one of the composer's most popular scores.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
CRY MACHO - Mark Mancina
"The simplicity of the story Eastwood is telling would seem to suit his unvarnished, unfussy style, though frankly, a bit more fuss -- a few more takes to smooth out a wobbly performance, an extra light bulb or two in the interior shots -- wouldn’t have gone awry. But 'Cry Macho,' with its attractive but not indulgent landscapes (shot in New Mexico) backed by a spare, twangy Mark Mancina score, takes pains to reject anything that might smack of falsity or pretense. That’s a bit rich when you consider that the filmmaker’s much-vaunted modesty also comes with a hefty dose of self-flattery, even (or especially) when Mike calls out the preening male braggadocio that Rafo seems to idolize. 'This macho thing is overrated,' he says, 'just people trying to be macho and show that they’ve got grit.' For true grit, he scarcely has to add, you need look no further than Clint Eastwood himself."
Justin Chang, Los Angeles Times
"This one is something different -- a deep cut for the die-hards, a hangout movie with nothing much to prove and just enough to say, with a pleasing score (by Mark Mancina) and some lovely desert scenery (shot by Ben Davis). If the old man’s driving, my advice is to get in and enjoy the ride."
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
