Quartet Records has announced a new soundtrack album for the 1978 fantasy comedy drama Heaven Can Wait directed by Warren Beatty & Buck Henry and starring Beatty himself, Julie Christie, James Mason, Charles Grodin, Buck Henry, Dyan Cannon, Vincent Gardenia and Jack Warden. The album features the film’s Academy Award-nominated expanded and remastered original score composed and conducted by Academy Award winner Dave Grusin (Three Days of the Condor, The Firm, The Milagro Beanfield War, Tootsie, Havana), as well as unused music and numerous alternate cues. The CD is now available to order on Quartet’s official website, where you can also check out audio clips and find out more about the release. Kritzerland & Varese Sarabande have previously released the world premiere release of Grusin’s score, coupled with the composer’s music from Racing with the Moon, back in 2013 and 2017. Heaven Can Wait is now available on VOD, Blu-ray and DVD.
