Veröffentlichung Perseverance: Jerry Fieldings THE GAUNTLET

[Gast Stefan Jania]

Von Perseverance kommt nach Morricones Excorcist 2 nun eine weiteres Warner-Reissue. Einer der Fieldings, mit dem ich leider nie sonderlich viel anfangen konnte. Ist mir zu jazzig. Aber zumindest hat die neue CD nun das tolle Frazetta-Cover der LP (das der alten Warner-CD als Ausfaltposter beilag).

Perseverance Records is proud to announce the reissue of the soundtrack to Clint Eastwood's 1977 action film, The Gauntlet.

Jerry Fielding has collaborated with Clint Eastwood on four films and has worked with some other great directors in his career (Peckinpah, Preminger, Irwin Allen, Michael Ritchie) as well as on numerous television series. We are excited to reissue this album at a really low $12.98. This is another example of a release many people missed out on from the Warner France reissue released in early 2000s.

Release Notes:

• The masters sound really good. As with the Exorcist II album, Warner Music remastered this for us.

• Liner notes by Fielding authority Nick Redman.

• This is a straight reissue using the track listing from the original LP and the Warner France CD. It’s a great representation of the score from the film.

• Priced to sell at $12.98. There will only be 3,000 copies manufactured. We will not make any more after we reach that total.

• We used the original artwork on this the same way we did for Exorcist II. We love the look of the CD as it brings back the original LP’s front and back graphics.

• Please keep this in mind. Our deal for this album lasts for a specific period of years. With the market shifting dramatically to digital it is highly doubtful another label reissues this recording. Grab it while you can.

Please enjoy. For anybody asking why this is being released the way it is, it’s simple. I want to make sure these kinds of releases get the light of day at reasonable prices. There are many other consumers out there who aren’t avid collectors and simply buy a film score because they saw the movie on TV or heard it someplace. They are the silent minority when it comes to film score sales. We want to provide you and them a chance to own these releases at a reasonable price versus the crazy sums of money speculators try to charge. It's as simple as that. We want to make sure all of our reissues are viewed as good deals.

Ich fand den Score immer recht nett weil stark Jazzlastig. Das Warner Cover war in der Tat scheußlich, aber da die neue nicht mehr zu bieten hat als den Inhalt der älteren VÖ werd ich hier passen. Das Macho-Cover von Conan Frazetta ist allerdings super. Wer Fielding Scores a la The enforcer mag ist hiermit gut bedient

Clint mit Arnie-Mimik und -Pose.... herrrrrrlisch!

Eigentlich hatte Arnie später Clint-Mimik und -Pose, denn The Gauntlet und das Artwork entstanden satte fünf Jahren früher.
