An Original MGM Motion Picture Soundtrack
Label: Kritzerland
Cat.#: KR20015-5
Country: United States
Format: CD
Release Date: May 2010
UPN: 8-5725-20015-5-8
Notes:
Limited edition of 1000 copies. Music Composed by Angelo Francisco Lavagnino. The original musical score tapes for Legend of the Lost are themselves lost, and have been for years. Fortunately, approximately thirty-two minutes of the original forty minutes of music was located in Italy. It is those thirty-two minutes that Kritzerland presents on this soundtrack CD. It may not be the “entire” soundtrack, but as the Kritzerland website notes, thirty-two minutes is better than no minutes. Kritzerland notes that the main title and the choral overlay from the film’s final cue were both missing from the Italian source, and so they have included those pieces from the DVD.
Kritzerland also noticed that there was one additional track, Paessagio (2:17), that had been inadvertently omitted from what had been sent to them for their master. Thankfully, however, Kritzerland has provided that track on their website, as a free download. The URL for this is: http://www.kritzerland.com/legend.htm
Kritzerland has also posted the CD’s liner notes (which can be found here: http://www.kritzerland.com/KL_LegendNotes.pdf ) as well as production stills from the film (which can be found here: http://www.kritzerland.com/legendpix.htm ).
