La-La Land Heavy Metal (Original Soundtrack) - Remastered

La-La Land Records, Columbia Pictures and Asylum Records proudly present a remastered 2-CD limited edition re-issue of renowned composer Elmer Bernstein’s (GHOSTBUSTERS, TRUE GRIT, STRIPES) original motion picture score to the 1981 big screen, cult classic animated fantasy/action epic HEAVY METAL, produced by Ivan Reitman and directed by Gerald Potterton. A highly ambitious feature film animated adaptation of the legendary comic magazine HEAVY METAL required a musical underscore worthy of launching the entire enterprise into the stratosphere and the late, great Elmer Bernstein proved more than up to the challenge, delivering a rousing orchestral score that expertly drives the movie’s varied scenarios, moods and characters to wonderous heights. In total, the score remains a signature effort from one of the most uniquely American composers ever to come out of Hollywood. Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this deluxe remastered release features the Score Presentation on Disc One, sourced from the composer’s own ¼” stereo tapes, while Disc Two unleashes the Original 1981 Score Album, which offers a different mix, and is also making its world premiere CD debut here, sourced from the original album masters. Limited to 1500 units, this release features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by author Jeff Bond, including new comments from the film’s special effects director, John Bruno, and thrilling art direction by Dan Goldwasser.
