From "Space" to "The Bottom of the Sea" in La-La Land's Penultimate Releases for 2011

November 9, 2011 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

La-La Land Records inched closer to the end of their 2011 reissue slate yesterday with a pair of sci-fi-oriented releases - one a reissue, and one appearing for the first time anywhere.

Television fans are going to enjoy the label's newly-released three-disc set of music from the cult classic series Space: Above and Beyond. Though it only ran for one season, the scope of the show - a planned, five-year saga about a war between Earth and an alien race in the mid-21st century - anticipated the popularity of sci-fi series in the late '90s and early '00s such as Stargate SG-1 and the reboot of Battlestar Galactica. The score, composed by the late Shirley Walker, evoked the urgent action of her earlier, widely-acclaimed scores to various DC Comics productions, including Batman: The Animated Series and The Flash (both of which have received loving reissues from the label).

La-La Land's other reissue this week is a special 50th anniversary edition of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Irwin Allen's beloved sci-fi fantasy, composed by Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter and featuring a main title song by film co-star Frankie Avalon. While this set is identical in content to a disc released by Film Score Monthly in 2001, this reissue fixes a cue whose master was damaged.

Voyage is limited to 2,000 units while Space: Above and Beyond is capped at 3,000. It's of course worth noting that four titles from La-La Land have yet to be released, all on Friday, November 25. (Speculation is running high as to what those titles will be!)

Order links and full discographical information are after the jump!
