Special Collection Volume 200 is neat milestone! World premiere release of actual Henry Mancini soundtrack to terrific Howard Hawks adventure film set in Africa, starring John Wayne, Elsa Martinelli, Red Buttons. Wayne and company capture rare animals for various world zoos. Some species are easier to catch than others. Elephants inspire Mancini to create legendary tune "Baby Elephant Walk", available for first time ever in its original soundtrack guise. Famous swaggering tune for high register Eb clarinet also figures during climactic "Search For Dallas". Leopard, buffalo, monkey, giraffe, ostrich all get their say but incredibly dangerous rhino sequences are what bring out Mancini's equally legendary main theme, often heard on choir of French horns in unison. In 1962, Mancini re-recorded just 30 minutes of highlights for admittedly sensational RCA album. In companionship with that album, now enjoy Mancini's complete original recordings, presented mostly in stereo from Paramount Pictures scoring session elements. A few sections required use of mono stems to allow restoration of complete soundtrack. This new hour long release carries landmark significance: every Mancini album during this most famous period of his career (Breakfast At Tiffany's, Hatari, Charade, Experiment In Terror, The Pink Panther) was heavily truncated and completely re-arranged with emphasis on dance mood. Along with new release of Charade, this marks exciting debut of an actual Mancini soundtrack from the era! Danger, romance, thrills, comedy, all getting rich Mancini melody! Unforgettable original campaign artwork is icing on the cake. Henry Mancini conducts. Available while quantities and interest remain.

La-La Land Records in association with CBS present the remastered re-issue of famed composer Jerry Goldsmith’s (PATTON, THE OMEN, BASIC INSTINCT, FIRST KNIGHT) original score to the 1970 western feature RIO LOBO starring John Wayne, Jennifer O’Neil, Jack Elam and Victor French, produced and directed by Howard Hawks. Aside from the improved sound of James Nelson’s meticulous remaster, this release is different than the previous Prometheus release in that tracks have been both added and shuffled around: Tracks 1-14 feature the original score in mono. Tracks 15-24 feature various source cues recorded for the film. Track 25 is an alternate cue and Tracks 26-30 feature the only surviving stereo cues. Produced by Ford A. Thaxton and featuring exclusive, in-depth liners by film music writer Jeff Bond, this re-issue of Goldsmith’s iconic score, limited to 3000 units, would make The Duke proud!
