La-La Land has announced three new limited edition score releases -- a two-disc edition of Jerry Goldsmith's thrilling score for Irwin Allen's all-star 1978 killer bee disaster movie flop THE SWARM (one of the prime examples of Goldsmith's extraordinary ability to write amazing music for lousy movies), featuring both the full score from the film as well as the original LP sequencing; an expanded, two-disc edition of John Williams' popular score for Ron Howard's 1992 70mm romantic epic FAR AND AWAY, with the full 82-minute score plus several alternate cues; and a 30th anniversary re-release of Hans Zimmer's score for Tony Scott's racing drama DAYS OF THUNDER.

Quartet has announced two new releases -- a newly remastered 50th anniversary edition of Henry Mancini's Oscar-nominated score for SUNFLOWER, the romantic drama which re-teamed international screen legends Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni; and a re-release of Carlo Rustichelli's score for Billy Wilder's 1972 comedy AVANTI!, starring Jack Lemmon and Juliet Mills.

Music Box has announced two new releases -- an expanded release of Nino Rota's final score for director Federico Fellini, ORCHESTRA REHEARSAL, and an expanded, two-disc edition of THE STORY OF O - PART 2, with music by Stanley Myers and additional music by his then-protege, a young fellow named Hans Zimmer.

Mondo will be releasing a two-disc LP of Benjamin Wallfisch's score for the just-released THE INVISIBLE MAN; no CD release has yet been announced.

Other recent or upcoming vinyl-only (so far) score soundtracks include Beach Rats (Leone) A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (Heller), Bird Box (Reznor/Ross), The Boys (Lennertz), Dolemite Is My Name (Bomar), Don't Go in the House (Einhorn), Earthquake Bird (Ross/Ross/Sarne), Freaked (Kiner), Honey Boy (Somers), Knives Out (Johnson), The Last Black Man in San Francisco (Mosseri), Luce (Barrow/Salisbury), Maniac (Romer), Ozark: Seasons 1 & 2 (Bensi/Jurriaans), and Rambo: Last Blood (Tyler).

Presumably due to concerns over the coronavirus impacting the international box-office, the release of the new James Bond film, NO TIME TO DIE, has been rescheduled from April 10 to November 25 of this year; one can assume that the Hans Zimmer score CD, currently announced for March 27, will also be delayed.
