INTRADA Announces: INCHON Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH INTRADA Vol. MAF 7125 One of Intrada's fastest selling Special Collection titles was Jerry Goldsmith's exotic war score to the 1982 film Inchon. Out of print for seven years, Intrada has reissued its 2-CD set, giving a new audience the chance to experience this early '80s effort packed with action, romance and the exotic sound of the east. This set features the original LP presentation as Goldsmith had initially presented his score, plus a second disc featuring the score in chronological order. The film may be forgotten, but what lives on is Jerry Goldsmith's dynamic, colorful and percussive score. The score features an augmented percussion section, including snares, bass drum, cymbals, tympani, triangle, xylophone, woodblocks, boo bams, and many others. At the time of the film's release, Goldsmith had artfully assembled a 38-minute album capturing the highlights and delivering an irresistible listening experience. In 1988, Intrada released an expanded edition that featured the complete score, without all the unique assembly of the LP. Now you can listen to both on this unlimited release. The 1982 epic chronicles the massive force invasion of Southern Korea led by General Douglas MacArthur. The film had all the right ingredients: a cast that included Ben Gazzara, Jacqueline Bisset, and none other than Sir Laurence Olivier in the role of MacArthur; James Bond veteran director Terence Young at the helm; and a world class composer -- the unequaled Jerry Goldsmith, who gave the film its spirit. Nonetheless, the production was plagued with both natural and man-made troubles, resulting in a film that cost over $44M, was cut from its original 140-minute length to 105 minutes when it went into "wide" release in September 1982, closed relatively quickly, and fell into obscurity.

I must have gone on Ebay hundreds of times waiting to see a reasonably priced copy of this score. I gave up about a year ago. I can now have it in all it's glory for an extremely "reasonable" price for two discs no less! Thanks for bringing it back, and making it unlimited. |

I was fortunate to get this first time around, but I hope this sets a precedent for some more OOP reissues for those of us that missed out on the limited issues first go-round. Thanks, Intrada! |

I was fortunate enough to snag the original 1500 copy version, and supported a repressing at the time. I'm glad people finally have a chance to own and enjoy this underrated gem of a score. Now one I long for is a reissue of Night Crossing (hopefully with expanded liner notes). That's been unavailable for far too long and it's honestly one of Goldsmith's very best scores. Here's hoping that gets the MAF treatment (or at least a reissue) next... Yavar |

I absolutely concur that this should have been re-issued. At the end of the day - beyond the blinding pines of collecting and flag-waving, the true value is in having this score made available to future generations and those who missed out. I'm ecstatic to see this back in print. Thank you, Intrada. You would've made Jerry proud, I'm sure. |

I just had to register to say that I really appreciate you bringing this back. I've only recently started listening to soundtracks, and while I've purchased dozens of current Intrada discs, it's a bit depressing looking at my Amazon Wish List and seeing all those soundtracks that I will probably never hear unless I am willing to spend $90 (the cheapest Night Crossing, Wargames, The Deep), $175 (the cheapest Robocop, Switchback, etc.), $200 (the cheapest Lock Up) or more just to hear them. Reissues are pretty much my only chance. It would be great if Intrada (and others) could implement something like Disney's system where the disc is brought back every few years, allowing a new generation to hear these great works. |

I got to visit the Intrada offices the week that this came out/sold out, and the one fellow in the office was full of talk about what a big whirlwind it all was. I was just sorry I missed out. Thanks for bringing it back! I especially like having the LP, as it was a very nice assembly and very enjoyable. |
