Here's a review from the very cool oldkingcole.com site:
Late in 1993, entertainment-industry giant 20th Century Fox formed a new record label, Fox Records, as a way to release classic soundtracks from 20th Century Fox films. The first batch of CDs to come out of that endeavor included this gem: Bernard Herrmann's eerie score to the 1951 film, "The Day The Earth Stood Still." Herrmann is probably best known for his collaborations with directors Orson Wells ("Citizen Kane", "The Magnificent Ambersons") and Alfred Hitchcock ("Psycho", "North by Northwest", "Vertigo"), but his work here for Robert Wise is equally strong. Herrmann believed that there was no particular reason a film composer should have to stick to a conventional orchestra. For "The Day The Earth Stood Still," he collected together a truly strange ensemble, including four pianos, four harps, a whole lot of brass, an electric violin, electric bass, and two high and low theremins. The unearthly whine of the theremin, an early electronic instrument, ensures that this music still sounds creepy today, four decades after it was written. This score is perhaps the pinnacle of '50's sci-fi music, and listening to it now is a great way to take a sonic trip back through the Gernsback Continuum. Kudos to producer Nick Redman on a fine release. Klaatu Barada Nikto!
Cover is a strong VG+ with a very small design drawn in the lower right corner of the back cover. It almost looks like a part of the cover design. If it weren't for fingerprints on the labels, I'd rate the record as MINT. These grooves are clean!
THE STORY OF THIS RECORD
For almost 21 years, We had a record store in Danbury, CT called TRASH AMERICAN STYLE.
In May of 2007 our landlord shafted all of us (with his extremely tiny shaft), and suddenly TRASH had no store. But our loss is your gain. Ever since May 2007, we’ve been sorting and organizing old stock and we’ve come across many many awesome records. They’d been sitting in the back room mostly untouched for DECADES. Some of these records were ordered new from labels and distributors and never bought by our customers or tucked away by lazy employees. Much of our stock also came from the customers who brought things in to sell nearly every day. (WE WILL DRIVE TO YOUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW AND BUY YOUR RECORDS!!) After being on the sales floor for a while, we’d sometimes have to clear them out to make room for more new records. We’d stick them in the back room where they sat (and sat). And now, here’s one of them. Just for you- if you move fast enough. Good luck!
