Following a strong 2012 release slate, La-La Land Records looks to be keeping the spirit of catalogue soundtracks alive with their first releases of the new year: one an expansion of a score to a modern comedy classic, the other a premiere release of the music to a '90s sci-fi flick.

Dave Kovic (Kevin Kline) is a simple businessman with a bizarre trait: he's the spitting image of the President of the United States of America. When that president falls ill, his team decides to use Dave to their advantage. There's just one problem for his political cronies: he's more earnest than anyone on Capitol Hill! Dave, co-starring Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella and Ben Kingsley and directed by Ivan Reitman (of Ghostbusters and Kindergarten Cop fame), was a smash upon release, and LLL now expands the original soundtrack by noted film composer/pop arranger James Newton Howard. (The label has, in the past, detailed intentions to expand all the soundtracks released on the Big Screen Records label; Dave is part and parcel of that plan!)

Elsewhere, La-La Land tackles John Debney's score to The Relic. Based on the first novel by successful collaborators Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the film concerns a string of mysterious murders around a Chicago museum, and the quest to discover who - or what - is behind it. Debney's score was previously only available as a self-distributed promotional disc, and is now available to add to your collection.

La-La Land majordomo MV Gerhard also spilled some details on their next batches of titles: January 29 will see a release of John Barry's score to the 1977 romantic film First Love, which was mostly unused in the final film, while February 12 sees a four-disc compilation of music from the acclaimed Star Trek: Deep Space Nine television series!

Dave is limited to 3,000 copies, while The Relic is capped at 2,000. Hit the jump to place your orders and check out the track lists!
