IN HARM'S WAY
Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 100
Date: 1965
Tracks: 15
Time = 35:59

Original soundtrack from massive Otto Preminger WWII movie with John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Henry Fonda, many others. Jerry Goldsmith tackles his biggest project to date (1965) with dynamic, exciting, passionate & ultimately powerful score. He even makes brief on-screen film appearance as naval musician on eve of Pearl Harbor attack! Highlights are many but action sequences standout, introducing listeners to what will become Goldsmith's signature military action style. "The Rock" remains an all-time action classic! Incredibly powerful finale ("First Victory") another highlight. Intrada presents CD for the first time from actual first-generation 2-track stereo album masters as originally presented by RCA Victor in 1965. Earlier SLC label CD was meld of tape copy & restored vinyl. (Additional music wasn't available as complete Paramount masters have long since been lost.) Original album as prepared by Goldsmith and producer Neely Plumb remains a genuine classic! Terrific Saul Bass cover artwork another asset! Jerry Goldsmith conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 3000 copies!

GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING / THE ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE
Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 99
Date: 1955 / 1967
Tracks: 18
Time = 57:16

World premiere of two 20th Century-Fox scores for big-city true-crime tales set during early twentieth century. GIRL IN THE RED VELVET SWING is Richard Fleischer drama with Ray Milland, Joan Collins. Leigh Harline offers sumptuous melodrama music to match. ST. VALENTINE'S DAY MASSACRE is Roger Corman gangster pic with Jason Robards Jr., George Segal. Lionel Newman offers original period-flavor swing tunes plus standards. Highlighting is brief but vivid original score by Fred Steiner, composed for stunning battery of percussion, multiple pianos, xylophone, chimes. Though still designed to evoke period, modernist Main Title, End Title offer more than passing resemblance to Jerry Goldsmith's many years later "Time Out" segment of TWILIGHT ZONE - THE MOVIE. Striking! Both scores presented in stereo from original multi-track elements vaulted at Fox. Liner notes by Julie Kirgo complete nice package! Lionel Newman conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1000 copies!
