The latest haul from Intrada is three '60s and '70s scores for some tough-guy pictures, each from three different, classic composers and all making their debut on any format.

First up, Elmer Bernstein scores Cahill: U.S. Marshal (1973). Bernstein obviously had some Western chops - The Magnificent Seven, anyone? - and he certainly had quite the opportunity to flex those muscles for this film. The title character, a black-hatted lawman pursuing a bank robber (George Kennedy) and his accomplices (who happen to be the marshal's sons), was played by none other than John Wayne. The score to this Warner Bros. picture - which included a song, "A Man Gets to Thinkin'," with lyrics by Don Black - is notable as one of the first recorded on multitrack tape (2", 16-channel tape, to be exact), meaning a new stereo remix could be constructed just for this disc. Jeff Bond provides detailed liner notes for the set.

Intrada's other release this week is a two-fer: first, there's Hell is for Heroes, a 1962 film about an Army squad's near-impossible task to hold the Siegfried Line against German forces for two days straight in 1944. Despite an all-star cast, including Steve McQueen, Bobby Darin, James Coburn, Fess Parker and Bob Newhart (in his first film role), budgetary restrictions and on-set conflicts (namely between McQueen and writer Robert Pirosh, who created the TV series Combat!) sank the film; Leonard Rosenman's short, active score, though, is a highlight, and presented in full on the first part of the disc.

Hell is for Heroes is paired with Jerry Fielding's score to Escape from Alcatraz, an adaptation of J. Campbell Bruce's book starring Clint Eastwood as Frank Morris, who in real life did escape the maximum security prison and was never found since. Working for the fifth and final time with director Don Siegel (who helmed Coogan's Bluff and Dirty Harry with Eastwood starring), Alcatraz features a unique, experimental "musique concrete" score by Fielding written to reflect the harsh conditions of the prison, newly remixed in stereo.

All titles are available "while quantities and interest remain"; hit the jump to read the track lists and place your orders!
