La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures proudly present UNION PACIFIC: THE PARAMOUNT WESTERNS COLLECTION, VOL 2, a deluxe 4-CD soundtrack collection of original film score recordings from Paramount Pictures’ big-screen westerns: UNION PACIFIC (1939), THE VIRGINIAN (1946), BLUE (1968), CALIFORNIA (1947), THE PALEFACE (1948), THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE (1962), RED MOUNTAIN (1951), THE LONELY MAN (1957), and THE TIN STAR (1957), and suites from TEXAS RANGERS RIDE AGAIN (1940), TOMBSTONE: THE TOWN TOO TOUGH TO DIE (1942), WHISPERING SMITH (1948), THE REDHEAD AND THE COWBOY (1951) and RUN FOR COVER (1955).
Meticulously restored from Paramount Pictures’ vault elements, this exciting compilation features original score recordings from fourteen of the studio’s western features spanning the course of three decades. Several of these recordings are making their world premiere here, others are expanded beyond previous releases, and many contain material not heard in their respective films. It’s a vast frontier of musical treasures, revealing Hollywood’s top Golden Age maestros at the peak of their powers, working in a legendary genre. Composers John Leipold, Victor Young, Leo Shuken, Charles Bradshaw, Daniele Amfitheatrof, Manos Hadjidakis, Cyril Mockridge, Franz Waxman, Nathan Van Cleave, Elmer Bernstein, Gerard Carbonara, Adolph Deutsch, David Buttolph and Howard Jackson are showcased here, their music encompassing an exhilarating variety, from big orchestral movements to spare and intimate moments – and everything in-between.
Produced by John Takis and Frank K. DeWald, with audio restoration by Chris Malone, this special 4-disc collection is limited to 1000 units and features a 36-page booklet with exclusive, in-depth liner notes written by the producers. Dan Goldwasser’s art design lassos the packaging together in classic fashion.

I've been spending an awful lot in assorted sales lately, but there's no way I'm missing out on this gem. This is EXACTLY the type of release I constantly await and so seldom see these days. Thank you LLL.

I think it's great that in this day and age, LLL has the cojones to release a CD set like this, considering that these are, for the most part, very under-represented composers without much of a fan base. I hope this gamble pays off for them.

WOW! Some amazing vintage scores here. Ordered before I even had morning coffee!!
Same! Coffee is sitting untouched in the pot while I just ordered this beauty. I was floored to see a volume 2 of this Westerns Collection.
It's amazing to me that we get physical releases of these older scores. I would imagine that they barely recoup their cost to produce.
