La La Land's New Releases: Monkeying Around and Going to Hell

September 7, 2010 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

Two semi-obscure scores are coming from La La Land Records today: one's the music to an primate-oriented family film, the other is an early-'70s rock score.

First up, Miles Goodman's complete score to Dunston Checks In (1996), the comedy about an orangutan in a fancy hotel. (Seriously.) It's a nice comedic romp, despite the fact that the source material isn't quite a classic, and it'll be a nice little limited edition at 1,200 copies.

The label also has a reissue of the soundtrack to Hell's Belles, an interesting little 1970 flick involving bikers and action. The score, composed by Les Baxter (whose Beach Blanket Bingo was recently unearthed by La La Land), was previously released on LP; this premiere CD release adds five bonus score tracks. This set also has a 1,200-copy limit.

Order each set here and here, and check out the track lists after the jump.

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.
