Intrada's biggest release last year was the score for Back to the Future, but this month sees the label going back to the past with Universal Pictures' help, with the premiere release of two 1960s soundtracks by Bronislau Kaper and Dimitri Tiomkin.
It's been a relatively big year for reissues of both mens' work - Kritzerland reissued two of their Western scores on one disc last month, and Kaper was the subject of a three-disc set from Film Score Monthly in July - and now Intrada releases Kaper's score to Tobruk, a 1967 World War II picture with Rock Hudson and George Peppard, and The War Wagon, a Tiomkin score for a John Wayne Western from the same year.
Both sets, released for the first time ever, are remixed in stereo directly from Universal's original multitrack elements, which can be happily reported as in mint condition. Each disc is limited to 2,000 copies and costs $19.99. Satisfy your curiosity after the jump.
