La-La Land Records has announced two new soundtrack albums, including the fourth volume in the label’s Goldsmith at 20th series. The album features two classic scores from 20th Century Fox productions composed by Academy Award winner Jerry Goldsmith (The Omen, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Planet of the Apes, Chinatown, Patton): 1973’s Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies directed by John Erman and starring Cliff Robertson, Eric Shea & Pamela Franklin and 1970’s Tora! Tora! Tora! directed by Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda & Kinji Fukasaku and starring Martin Balsam, Joseph Cotten, So Yamamura, James Whitmore and E.G. Marshall. The 2-CD set features Goldsmith’s Ace Eli score in mono, as well as additional music with contributions from Alexander Courage on the first disc, and the content of La-La Land’s previous Tora! Tora! Tora! score release on the second disc. The soundtrack is limited to 2,000 copies and is now available to order on the label’s official website, where you can also check out the full track list and learn more about the release.
The label’s other new release is a 25th anniversary reissue of the 2014 expanded soundtrack album for the 1996 Escape from L.A. directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi and Cliff Robertson featuring music by Shirley Walker (Final Destination, Willard, Memoirs of an Invisible Man) and John Carpenter (Halloween, The Fog, Big Trouble in Little China, Assault on Precint 13).
