It's kind of amazing that the Sci-Fi Channel's reboot of Battlestar Galactica which ran from 2003 to 2009 was a critical smash. This is especially true when one considers the campy nature of its original source material, the Glen A. Larson-produced ABC program which ran for one season in 1978-1979 and was considered by many to be a quick capitalization on Star Wars mania. Of course, the show was a bit more than that, with a rather captivating story and, for a modest television show, a well-received original score by Stu Phillips. Phillips, a composer and producer best known for his work on the cult film Beyond the Valley of the Dolls and The Monkees, penned a heroic action score for the pilot that would be tracked for many episodes of the series.

Phillip's BSG pilot score was worthy enough to warrant an LP release on MCA in 1978. That set, partially composed of original and re-recorded cues was reissued on CD by Geffen in 2003 with one bonus track. But now, Intrada presents the complete score to the pilot - featuring all of the original cues, preserved perfectly by Universal in stereo - in what is to be the first of several Galactica releases. Sci-fi fans won't want to miss this limited set, capped at 3,000 copies.

The label also presents a premiere release of the score to Roger Corman's horror classic House of Usher, composed by Les Baxter. This release, limited to 1,200 copies, features every cue from the film, including a rarely-heard overture, all presented in mono from the original music track on the film.

Order details and track lists are after the jump.
