The two famed singer-songwriters' intimate 2007 gig at The Troubadour - which in turn led to a concert tour that's the subject of an upcoming HBO Max film from director Frank Marshall - returns on vinyl.  Bernie Grundman cut the lacquers, and the 2-LP set featuring such classics as "I Feel the Earth Move," "Fire and Rain," "It's Too Late," "Sweet Baby James," and "You've Got a Friend" is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at QRP.  Target has an exclusive color pressing, and a CD reissue hits stores next Friday.

The score was composed by Tito Arevalo, a Filipino actor and musician.  Real Gone's new reissue includes a note from producer Sam Sherman and rare publicity stills from his archives.  In addition to presenting the score, the album also features a radio spot and the "Oath of Green Blood Intro" to the film, which advised audiences to drink the green "blood" potion that was distributed as a gimmick before screenings of the movie.  The package also includes an LP insert with the cover illustration and comes on green "Chlorophyll Blood" vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies.

William Lava, Dracula vs. Frankenstein: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Real Gone Music) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K. / Amazon Canada)

RGM has another cult classic horror film soundtrack: 1971's Dracula vs. Frankenstein.  Directed by Al Adamson, the flick concerned Dracula hoping to acquire a serum developed by a descendant of Dr. Frankenstein which he believes will make him immune to sunlight.  The film is most notable for featuring Lon Cheney, Jr. in his final film role to be released.  The score is the final one composed by William Lava (Gunsmoke, F Troop, Looney Tunes).  Real Gone's vinyl premiere retains one of the radio spots from the 2008 CD but drops several and also doesn't include the commentary from Sam Sherman.  The package does, however, boast a note from Sherman and photos from his archives.  The package also includes an LP-sized insert of the cover illustration and comes on pumpkin orange vinyl, limited to 1,000 copies.  Read more about both RGM Halloween LPs here.
