Update: We got ahold of La-La Land and have updated with official information.
La-La Land Records is going old school with their first vinyl release in the form of Carmen Dragon‘s original soundtrack to the 1956 film noir sci-fi/horror Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which was directed by Don Siegel. The vinyl will be released on November 3rd and comes on pod-green vinyl. It will be limited to 1,000 copies.
The package will include in-depth liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond, which grace the inner jacket in headline-grabbing newspaper fashion, designed by Dan Goldwasser. The cover art was designed by artist Miles Teves.
Direct from the press release:
[The record was] produced for La-La Land Records by Carmen Dragon’s son-in-law, Richard “Rick” Henn and Neil S. Bulk, with an analog transfer from the original full-track mono session tapes, restored and mastered by Stephen Marsh, and lacquers cut from the restored, high-resolution digital master by Kevin Gray.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is one of the most popular films in terms of remakes. Based upon the novel by Jack Finney, the story has come to the screen four times, originally in 1956 and then again in the stellar 1978 remake, which starred Donald Sutherland. It was again made in 1993 as Body Snatchers and last came as The Invasion, which was released in 2007 and starred Nicole Kidman.
