This one deserves it's own thread!! Next Tuesday, Sept 24, 2013 at 12 pm pst! TRUE GRIT MUSIC BY ELMER BERNSTEIN LLLCD 1260 LIMITED EDITION OF 3000 UNITS RETAIL PRICE: $19.98 EXECUTIVE ALBUM PRODUCERS: LUKAS KENDALL AND NEIL S. BULK MASTERED BY DOUG SCHWARTZ LINER NOTES BY JEFF BOND ART DIRECTION BY JIM TITUS La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Capitol Records/UME are proud to present Elmer Bernstein’s rousing score to the classic Academy Award winning John Wayne Western TRUE GRIT. After waiting decades for a proper release fans can finally rejoice in this definitive presentation of one of the genre’s greatest films! The previous LP/CD, while an interesting experiment, never quite delivered the “goods” for any film score enthusiast. For many, it left them wanting more. Well, now you have it! Mastered from the original ¼ inch mono masters, Producers Lukas Kendall and Neil S. Bulk have put together what Western fans and film score fans alike have been clamoring for over the years! With help by audio wizard Chris Malone and mastering engineer Doug Schwartz fans can finally hear Mr. Bernstein’s score in all its brilliance on cd! In addition to the film score, we have included several songs licensed and recorded for the film including various versions of the Main Title song performed by Glen Campbell, as well as a demo of the song THE EYES OF THE YOUNG performed by Elmer Bernstein himself (co-written by Don Black)! Also included on this set are 3 versions of GO HOME GIRL one version performed by John Hartford and two other versions performed by Glen Campbell. Antique looking booklet design by Jim Titus adds to the authenticity of Jeff Bond’s rustic, informative notes.

You had me at "Jeff Bond’s rustic, informative notes." Might be the funniest hyperbole I've ever heard to describe liner notes. Love it and very excited for this release!

Just for clearence: The former Capitol LP with the re-rercordings will NOT be on this release,"just" the original score heart in the film + the alternates? Was the Capitol LP ever released as legitim CD? The La-La-Land will be the score as heard in the film+ alternates - NOT the Capitol LP. The LP has had a CD release.

We only grabbed the 2 songs off the Original Capitol release. If you have ever had that release you will know why we ditched the rest. MV

To this day, I still don't understand why they did releases like that one or Leroy Holmes version of The Devil's Brigade. Did they really think people would rather listen to such tripe?

Re: You had me at "Jeff Bond’s rustic, informative notes." Might be the funniest hyperbole I've ever heard to describe liner notes. Love it and very excited for this release! I assume that it's the liner notes booklet that is rustic (in appearance) and not, as you seem to see it, the text of what Bond wrote. In MY case, I have the original soundtrack on CD as well as both volumes of Bernstein's music for John Wayne movies on Varese Sarabande, with several tracks from "Grit," which is probably sufficient for me.

Re: Well, if you have the "original soundtrack," that bears almost no resemblance whatsoever to the music that's actually in the movie apart from the song. I'm not speaking of the Tadlow rerecording but the original soundtrack released on LP in conjunction with the film. That's just a bunch of pop arrangements. Interesting, and I'm intrigued, since I've long been an Elmer Bernstein fan. Thank you.
