Why should La-La Land and Intrada/Disney have all the fun? We've got five new soundtrack catalogue titles for your perusal from Varese Sarabande, Intrada and BSX Records. The wares range from the golden age of film composition (with two heavyweights of the film score world collaborating on a special score restored as a strictly limited title) to an underrated gem of a horror soundtrack from last year.

Varese Sarabande released two intriguing limited edition titles for release in the wee hours of Monday morning. First up, continuing on a theme for the label in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Bernard Herrmann's birth, a double-disc, complete presentation of the score to The Egyptian, a 1954 20th Century-Fox epic with a score divided between Herrmann and legendary Fox composer Alfred Newman. This sweeping score is presented in its entirety (with alternate cues, too) for the first time anywhere, sourced from newly-discovered original masters. (A generous single-disc presentation was released by Film Score Monthly a decade ago.) Act fast: it's limited to just 1,500 copies.

Next up for Varese Sarabande is the score to Devil. Though the suspense flick was likely damaged at the box office thanks to the shrinking goodwill against the film's producer, M. Night Shyamalan, horror aficionados were taken by the stirring music from relative newcomer Fernando Velasquez (who composed the music to 2007's The Orphanage). This special soundtrack CD is even more limited than The Egyptian, at just 1,000 units.

Intrada stunned everyone with the great release of Up weeks ago (a review from both myself and Joe is forthcoming). But don't think they haven't got time for the little premieres anymore. The label's new releases this week are Deja Vu, a supernatural 1985 horror film with a killer score composed by Pino Donaggio of Carrie and Don't Look Now fame, and a two-fer from Fox: House on Telegraph Hill, a brassy noir score from Sol Kaplan, and Ten North Frederick, a bittersweet, heavily thematic score by Leigh Harline to a 1958 drama that starred Gary Cooper. Each disc is limited to 1,000 copies.

Finally, the underappreciated BSX label does a new reissue of Battle Beyond the Stars, the 1980 cult-classic sci-fi flick produced by Roger Corman and featuring one of the first major scores from James Horner. While the original soundtrack album is no stranger to CD (and not likely to be expanded - apparently Horner is not too fond of the final product), this disc adds two bonus tracks (including an arrangement of themes performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra) and a host of original sound effect tracks from the film. This set is also limited at 1,000 copies.

Track lists and order pages from each label are available after the jump.
