La-La Land Records has announced a new soundtrack album for the 1974 classic The Godfather Part II co-written and directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, Morgana King, Talia Shire and John Cazale. The album features the original music from the Paramount Pictures production composed by Academy Award winner Nina Rota (8 1/2, La Dolce Vita, War & Peace, Romeo & Juliet), including previously unreleased and unused music. The 2-CD set includes the expanded score presentation, as well additional and source cues by Rota on the first disc, and the remastered original soundtrack album, as well as bonus tracks that showcase music by Carmine Coppola and a rare demo recording by Rota on the second disc. The 50th Anniversary Edition is limited to 5,000 copies and is now available to order on the label’s official website. The label has previously released a 50th Anniversary Edition for the original 1972 The Godfather movie back in 2022. The Godfather Part II is now available on VOD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD.
