Enter the Dragon and The Exorcist CDs
By Popular Demand!
News flash by Lukas Kendall
Today's column is to announce proudly to the world that we have copies
of Warner Home Video's excellent CDs of Enter the Dragon and The
Exorcist for sale. Copies of The
Wild Bunch are still available as well.
These CDs were produced for Warner Home Video's videotape box sets and
have not been available independently -- until now.
Enter the Dragon is the complete 1973 Lalo Schifrin score, nearly
an hour, a thundering blend of symphonic action and '70s funk. It's the
ultimate kung fu score and sounds fantastic in its new remix from the original
Warner multitracks. (The existing Japanese CD of this score is the album
master, which runs around 25 minutes in inferior sound.)
The Exorcist features the classical selections used in the film
by Penderecki, Henze and others, with the unfortunate exclusion (due to
licensing problems) of "Tubular Bells" and "Night of the
Electric Insects." But everything else is there -- fantastic, creepy
avant garde tracks for the scariest movie ever made. And, as a special
bonus, the CD includes 15 minutes of Lalo Schifrin's unused score from
the film, which prior to this disc had never been heard outside of the
recording stage in 1973: Schifrin's shrieking trailer music, orchestral
suite, and one source music track. Sound is altogether fantastic. (The
existing Japanese CD of this soundtrack is the LP album master and features
different music and sound quality.)
Each disc features liner notes by Jon Burlingame.

to fill out the form.

please note that our autoreply confirming your order is down, so
there may be a delay in your confirmation.
