At last! World premiere release of rousing Dimitri Tiomkin score for action-packed John Wayne western, presented by Universal Pictures, also starring Kirk Douglas, directed by Burt Kennedy. Intrada proudly offers complete score, newly mixed & mastered in full stereo from actual multi-track session masters stored in mint condition in Universal vaults. CD includes terrific opening "Ballad of The War Wagon", sung by Ed Ames. Happily, all "sweetener" elements also survived in perfect condition, allowing Intrada to remix all stereo chorus overdubs for main title, including additional harmonica & piano tracks! Tiomkin creates great main theme for armor-plated gold wagon, then fashions dynamic variations underlining preparations by Wayne & Douglas to destroy it along with villainous owner Bruce Cabot. Latter half of score features several incredible action set-pieces with Tiomkin in spectacular form as he nears end of composing career. Hearing it all in vivid stereo makes for an exciting listen! Great original 1967 artwork campaign plus color stills, text by Julie Kirgo completes this rich package of western music. One of Universal's best previously unreleased 1960's film scores is finally a CD reality. Dimitri Tiomkin conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 2000 copies!

Gehört das nicht eigentlich ins neuigkeiten forum?

Der kaper scheint mir von beiden der interessanteste und soundqualitativ besterhaltene score zu sein. Leider etwas sehr kurz mit 35 minuten und da solls keinen anderen (kaper) score gegeben haben, den man hätte dazupacken können? Wieder so ein fall wo mich die titel schon irgendwie interessieren, ich aber trotzdem vorerst passen muss.

Tobruk klingt irgendwie nach Rozsa...
