La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Capitol Records/Universal Music Special Markets present Elmer Bernstein’s (THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, THE SHOOTIST, GHOSTBUSTERS, DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS) majestic score to the 1969 Academy Award-Winning Paramount Pictures western, TRUE GRIT, starring John Wayne, Kim Darby and Glen Campbell, and directed by Henry Hathaway. Finally, decades after the film’s debut in theaters, comes this definitive release of Mr. Bernstein’s landmark score to one of the great genre films of all time. Complementing the film score are a stable of bonus tracks, including various versions of the main title song performed by Glen Campbell and a demo version performed by Bernstein himself, and three versions of “Go Home Girl” (one performed by John Hartford and two by Campbell). Produced by Lukas Kendall and Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz from the original ¼ inch mono masters, TRUE GRIT has finally been presented to the fans in a manner truly worthy of its legend.

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Fox present the world premiere release of composer Bill Conti’s (ROCKY, FOR YOUR EYES ONLY, MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE) original score to the 1982 noir/thriller feature I, THE JURY, starring Armand Assante, Barbara Carrera and Alan King, and directed by Richard T. Heffron. Conti’s explosive, jazzy score is all kinds of cool, spraying bullets and bedding lovers in equal measure as famed gumshoe Mike Hammer takes it to the baddies. It’s a perfect match for this wildly fun and knowingly over-the-top Mickey Spillane adaptation. Produced by Nick Redman and Ford A. Thaxton, restored by Mike Matessino and mastered by Daniel Hersch from ¼’’ mono tapes, this special release of 2000 units also contains exclusive liner notes from film music writer Julie Kirgo, with comments from score pianist, Mike Lang.
