Composer John Barry tackles a rare western subject in his celebrated career, anchoring the score with “The Man In The Mask”, sung in the Main Title by country superstar Merle Haggard and featuring lyrics by Dean Pitchford (Academy Award-winning songs for Fame) and harmonica soloist Paul Jones (of Manfred Mann fame). MCA Records released an album in 1981 running just 27 minutes, but managed to create a dynamic record that included several rousing selections from John Barry’s score, the John Barry/Merle Haggard ballads and - of course - that legendary Rossini theme. After years of exhaustive searches for session masters proved unsuccessful, Intrada worked with ITV and current soundtrack license holder UMG to finally premiere the rare 1981 album in CD format, working from pristine copies of the album itself (even these masters remain AWOL) and utilizing state-of-the-art NoNoise technology that addressed all surface noise without sacrificing any vivid dynamics of the original score, which was recorded in France under Barry’s direction. Though the album is admittedly brief, it remains a sensational listening experience! Flipper-style booklet cover features original MCA album artwork plus alternate campaign with liner notes by John Barry authority, Jon Burlingame. CD produced by Douglass Fake, Roger Feigelson performs executive producer chores. Dan Wallin records and mixes, John Barry composes and conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!
30 years waiting, NOW we can pay for an LP-transfer... AT LAST!

Never heard this one before. Sounds like James Bond on the Prairie.

I bought the LP in 1981 after I spent good money to see the movie and I don't really need a CD that's not an expansion. Heck, I made my own good-enough CD transfer years ago. But I am probably going to buy this CD anyway, just like I bought the Buck Rogers CD, even though I'd owned that LP for decades. Stupid toxic nostalgia draining my wallet.

Anything with a song in it worries me. Intrada released disappointing versions of two of my very favorite movie songs, with Mackenna's Gold (poor pop-like version of Turkey Buzzard instead of the far better European album release) and River of No Return with missing content. Sometimes having something is better than having nothing, but sometimes not. Now the American LP of Mackenna has been released on CD, the superior European version is probably going to stay unreleased for good.
Fortunately, this Lone Ranger song is not much good to begin with, so whether it's one version or another might not matter much.
It's the version that has been released on the LP, period.
I wonder if Bear Family had access to a tape source when they produced their Merle Haggard box set:

You guys are behaving like a bunch of depressing butt-hurt sissies!!
Intrada has done a marvelous job. They stated several times that this is all there is. A legendary release indeed.
Plus I find the alternate cover art STUNNING. Thank you Intrada!

This is a transfer of a pristine copy of the old vinyl LP?
You could have fooled me. Samples sound great!
