The Sixth Day of Second Discmas

December 20, 2011 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Well, Week 2 of Second Discmas is in high gear, and here at Second Disc HQ, we can't get enough of the great music of the silver screen and the Great White Way!  Today, we're sharing the immortal music of Hollywood and Broadway with you!

Thanks to our fantastic friends at Kritzerland, we have two amazing prize packs for you today!

Our "Screen" pack is a triple-threat of soundtrack classics, including two from the legendary Elmer Bernstein!  From Bernstein's pen comes the Original Soundtrack Recording of 1957's Drango, as well as Kritzerland's landmark 100th release, the expanded Original Soundtrack of 1961's Summer and Smoke!  The third treat in this set is Francis Lai's mesmerizing score to Another Man, Another Chance (1977)!

For our musical theatre buffs, our "Stage" pack is a duo you won't want to miss!  I wrote of Kritzerland's 2010 remix - reinvention, really - of the Original Broadway Cast Recording of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's Promises, Promises: "A real revelation!  I’m usually hesitant to use [that word] as it’s a mite hyperbolic. But this completely remixed version of the album (from the edited eight-track session masters), produced by Kimmel, mixed by John Adams and mastered by Nelson, is worthy of any and all plaudits sent its way. The remix allows the score to be heard anew...Listening to it, I actually felt as if I was in the Shubert Theatre, circa 1968."  And now the single-disc score, completely remixed and remastered, can be yours!  Promises is joined by the soundtrack to a movie about the making of a musical: the deliciously bawdy The First Nudie Musical!  Not only is the delightfully wacky soundtrack completely remastered and expanded, but your CD has been autographed by the 1975 film's star, producer, director, composer and lyricist, Bruce Kimmel!

You can win these prizes by e-mailing us (theseconddisc (at) gmail (dot) com)!  Just be sure to include your name, city and state in your email, and put “Second Discmas” in the subject line, along with your pick of "Stage" or "Screen."

But that’s not your only way to win!  You can also “like” this post as it appears on Facebook or retweet the post on Twitter!  Drawings for Kritzerland's Broadway and Hollywood classics must be received by Wednesday, December 21, at 3:00 p.m. EST.  But if you enter today’s drawing and aren’t a winner, don't worry!  You’ll automatically be entered in all the rest of the Second Discmas contests!

Don’t forget to check back each day this week for more prizes, and be sure to tune in to Kritzerland's irreverent new web series, Outside the Box, for a fresh and funny look at a very offbeat theatre company!

He has contributed liner notes to reissues from a diverse array of artists, among them Nat "King" Cole, Paul Williams, Lesley Gore, Dusty Springfield, B.J.

Over the past two decades, Joe has also worked in a variety of capacities on and off Broadway as well as at some of the premier theatres in the U.S., including Lincoln Center Theater, George Street Playhouse, Paper Mill Playhouse, Long Wharf Theatre, and the York Theatre Company. He has felt privileged to work on productions alongside artists such as the late Jack Klugman, Eli Wallach, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. In 2009, Joe began contributing theatre and music reviews to the print publication The Sondheim Review, and in 2012, he joined the staff of The Digital Bits as a regular contributor writing about film and television on DVD and Blu-ray. Joe currently resides in the suburbs of New York City.
