From last week comes Real Gone's reissue of a title by another Newman: David, Thomas' brother. Directed by Dean Parisot, the 1999 film is an affectionate send-up of the original Star Trek series (both on and off-screen).  Starring Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, and Sam Rockwell, the movie centers around the cast of a 1960s science-fiction television show who get kidnapped into outer space to help an alien race who mistake them for their onscreen roles. The score did not receive a commercial release at the time and was finally put on CD in 2012 by La-La Land Records.  LLL's presentation is reprised on Real Gone's vinyl release.  The LP is housed in a gatefold jacket featuring production stills and comes in two versions: a blue "Galaxy" vinyl limited to 1,400 copies, available at general retail and a glow-in-the-dark vinyl, limited to just 100 copies, available directly from Real Gone's website.  Read more about both Newman soundtracks here!
