Release News: They're Here

January 25, 2010 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

A quick bit of release news for you: a classic rock title already set up for pre-order, and a pair of popular film composers with reissues in the works.

  • Hip-O Select is taking orders for Chuck Berry's Have Mercy: His Complete Chess Recordings 1969-1974. The four-disc set is the third and final such set of Berry's recordings for the legendary label and features 22 unreleased tracks. Find it here.
  • Legendary soundtrack catalogue label Film Score Monthly has quite a new release: the complete score to the 1977 film Black Sunday, composed and conducted by John Williams. It was, to date, the most recent score of Williams' (whose credits also include Jaws, Star Wars, and the Indiana Jones films) to never see a release. As with most soundtrack releases (due to union regulations), it's a limited pressing, but it's a more generous amount than usual at 10,000 copies. More info is here.
  • FSM also dropped a big name recently. Label founder Lukas Kendall confirmed that in 2010 the label would put out a new expanded release of Jerry Goldsmith's score to Poltergeist. The set will feature the complete score, newly remastered from the original source elements by veteran score producer Mike Matessino, as well as a bonus disc of alternate takes and the original LP program as it was released by Polygram in 1982. (For interested collectors, Rhino did release a slightly expanded version of that LP in 1997.)

Mike Duquette

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
