Magic & The Dogs of War

New releases La-La Land Records

La-La Land Records will release 2 soundtracks this week. The first is a re-issue of Jerry Goldsmith's Magic and the second is the world premiere of Geoffrey Burgon's The Dog of War.

La-La Land Records and 20th Century Fox proudly present the remastered re-issue of legendary composer Jerry Goldsmith’s (THE BLUE MAX, PATTON, THE OMEN, GREMLINS, BASIC INSTINCT) original motion picture score to the acclaimed 1978 Twentieth Century Fox dramatic chiller MAGIC, starring Anthony Hopkins, Ann-Margret and Burgess Meredith, and directed by Richard Attenborough. Mr. Goldsmith weaves his magic in spellbinding fashion, creating a work that expertly anchors this notably creepy film with an orchestral musicscape of drama, passion and suspense. Produced by Nick Redman and Mike Matessino, with a revised master by Matessino, this special re-issue features a previously unreleased track and showcases new liner notes from writer Julie Kirgo and sharp new art design by Jim Titus. This is a limited edition of 2000 units.
