Two fan favorite titles were announced by Intrada last night: a newly-expanded soundtrack for the classic film Patton (1970) and a reissue of the score to the cult classic Gator (1976).

Film fans remember Patton for George C. Scott's famed portrayal of the controversial American general during World War II. (Scott won an Oscar for the role - and became the first person to refuse an Oscar.) Score fans remember it as yet another triumph for Jerry Goldsmith, who provided an innovative score bolstered by a rousing militaristic march theme and liberal use of the Echoplex tape delay machine. The classic original score, as heard in the film, has been released on CD twice: once by Varese Sarabande in 1997 (who paired it with tracks from Goldsmith's score to Tora! Tora! Tora! from the same year) and once by Film Score Monthly just two years later (on a double bill with another Fox score from the '60s, The Flight of the Phoenix).

This release is special for a few reasons. For the first time, this set includes not only the original score (with a bonus track of sessions from the Echoplex recordings), but the CD debut of the original soundtrack album, a re-recorded session under Goldsmith's baton featuring special arrangements of various themes and cues. This disc also features a bonus track, the soundtrack version of the end title sequence without Scott's rousing speech as heard on the original LP. If all of this didn't sound enticing enough, the set is part of Intrada's MAF line of unlimited titles, and will be priced at the rate of a single disc ($19.99).

The label will also release an expanded version of the original soundtrack to Gator, an action-packed flick starring Burt Reynolds in his second turn as freewheelin' moonshiner Gator McClusky. Charles Bernstein, a composer perhaps best known for the score to A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), contributed a Southern-fried score to this film (as well as its predecesor, White Lightning (1973), which had a sold-out release earlier this year). Portions of both scores have taken a new lease with listeners, being featured in the recent works of director Quentin Tarantino. This set adds six bonus tracks to the original album and is limited to 1,200 copies.

Order Patton here and Gator here and check the specs after the jump.
