La-La Land has announced two new film music releases due in June -- THE MUNSTERS: TELEVISION MUSIC OF JACK MARSHALL, a two-disc set also featuring the composer's music for the series The Deputy, The Virginian and Wagon Train; and an expanded version of Ryuichi Sakamoto's score for the 1992 remake of WUTHERING HEIGHTS, which paired Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche four years before The English Patient.
The latest releases from Quartet are Alberto Iglesias' score for EXTRANA FORMA DE VIDA (STRANGE WAY OF LIFE), the 30-minute short directed by Pedro Almodovar and starring Pedro Pascal and Ethan Hawke, which just screened at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival; Ken Thorne's score for the 1971 Western HANNIE CAULDER, starring Raquel Welch, Robert Culp, Ernest Borgnine and Christopher Lee; Fernando Velazquez' score for the new Mexican comedy-Western EL PODEROSO VICTORIA; and an expanded edition of Angelo Francesco Lavagnino's score for the 1968 Western REQUIEM PER UN GRINGO.

After three months with no new score CDs, La-La Land has announced three releases due next week: the first-ever release of Elmer Bernstein's unused score for the Mad Mad World-esque 2001 comedy RAT RACE, ultimately scored by John Powell (not to be confused with the 1960 film The Rat Race scored by...Elmer Bernstein); an expanded, two-disc edition of John Williams' Oscar-nominated score for Sydney Pollack's 1995 remake of the classic romantic comedy SABRINA, starring Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond (and also featuring Williams' nominated song "Moonlight"); and the score for Lasse Hallstrom's 1993 comedy-drama WHAT'S EATING GILBERT GRAPE, starring Johnny Depp and featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in his first Oscar-nominated performance. The score is credited to Alan Parker (Jaws 3-D) and Bjorn Isfalt (Hallstrom's My Life as a Dog), and the CD promises "Both Original and Unused Scores."
