Intrada Ends Banner Year, Boldly Goes Where Few Have Gone Before

December 13, 2011 By Mike Duquette — No Comments

Intrada knows how to another great year of soundtracks: with three oft-requested and legendary soundtracks, all expanded and mostly unlimited.

By far the biggest news for contemporary score fans is the news of another expanded score from the Star Trek universe. The past few years have seen expanded scores for four Trek films (1982’s The Wrath of Khan, 1984’s The Search for Spock, 1989’s The Final Frontier and 2009’s reboot of the franchise) and two collections of music from the beloved The Next Generation television series.

Intrada puts in its first Trek entry with Leonard Rosenman’s music to 1986’s Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. One of the most accessible entries in the series, Voyage sees the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise journey to San Francisco in our then-present day to save humpback whales from extinction, thereby preventing an intergalactic probe from crippling the future Earth’s power grid. The unlimited Intrada reissue presents the complete score to the film, including album alternates and other newly-unearthed extras (including a much-coveted alternate version of the opening titles that draws more from Alexander Courage’s iconic television theme song).

But that’s far from the only riches in Intrada’s year-end batch. The label has a thorough, unlimited expansion of Jerry Goldsmith’s score to the 1966 war film The Sand Pebbles (expanded by Varese Sarabande in 2002). The double-disc set, featuring music from the Robert Wise-directed picture starring Steve McQueen in his only Oscar-nominated performance, features newly-remixed score cues and 18 alternate and source cues, all in stereo. And finally, there’s a limited pressing of the soundtrack to The Wrong Box, a 1966 Victorian-era black comedy scored by legendary James Bond composer John Barry, featuring the rare stereo version of the original soundtrack (sourced from a mint LP, as original masters have been lost) as well as some session-tape sourced bonus tracks in mono and stereo.
