Godfather 50

Black Friday isn't just a day for holiday sales and Record Store Day's second event of the year - it's also the day La-La Land Records announces their final (and often biggest) soundtrack reissues of the year. And it might not get bigger than 2022's batch of titles, which feature two underrated scores from a pair of legendary composers, two massive franchise favorites with rich themes, and the soundtrack to what some consider the greatest American film ever made. Up first is one of those

Star Trek The Motion Picture 2022

Later this year, the Paramount+ streaming service will premiere a new 4K Director's Edition of 1979's Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  The first big-screen voyage of the Starship Enterprise, director Robert Wise's film was first recut as a Director's Edition for the 2001 DVD, but the new version promises to be an upgrade in every way as it utilizes the HDR process for improved color and image.  With the film itself getting such a makeover, it's only appropriate that the soundtrack is, too.

For a few years, April 26 has officially been known as "Alien Day," taking its inspiration from LV-426, the fictional setting of Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi/horror classic and James Cameron's blockbuster action sequel from 1986. With Scott having recently returned to the Alien universe with Prometheus in 2012, and a sequel, Alien: Covenant, due in theaters next month, today's obviously a special Alien Day indeed. That's why soundtrack fans should be (chest)bursting with excitement over the news
