Film Score Monthly has another release ready to go for soundtrack collectors: the premiere release of the score to North Dallas Forty by John Scott.

Released in 1979, North Dallas Forty was a fact-based account of novelist Peter Gent's five-year stint in the NFL. The film got much of the details right, and critics and fans were both pleased. John Scott - a session player from England - drummed up a soundtrack that had jazz and blues undertones while keeping the entire orchestra intact for the action and drama both on and off the football field. (Scott would later pen such scores as Greystoke, which was also reissued earlier this year.)

This complete score presentation includes a handful of alternate and unused cues as well. It's limited to 2,000 copies and can be ordered here.
