INTRADA Announces: THE EIGER SANCTION Music Composed and Conducted by JOHN WILLIAMS ISC 465 Intrada's latest release features a 2-CD set of John Williams' music for the 1975 Universal Pictures thriller The Eiger Sanction. The score is a masterful example of the composer’s 1970s style, encompassing orchestral and jazz elements, tonal and atonal moments, and memorable themes. From the foreboding theme of the main title to the thrilling action of "The Car Chase" and the majestic "The Top Of The World," the score is a showcase of a composer who was rapidly rising to the top of the industry's game. The first disc features his complete 75-minute score, offering substantially more music than was represented on the MCA LP, a re-recording that also included tracks often substantially reworked by Williams. While the original scoring sessions were in three-track split-mono, ace producer Mike Matessino has mixed the tracks into a satisfying stereo experience, similar to his prior work on Williams' Earthquake. For the MCA album, Universal Music Group unearthed the original 2″ unmixed multitrack tapes, not only allowing for a state of the art new mix to showcase more detail than ever heard before, but also revealing several additional tracks WIlliams recorded for the album but which were not ultimately included on the LP release. In The Eiger Sanction, university professor, art collector and former assassin Jonathan Hemlock (Clint Eastwood) is called out of retirement to perform a “sanction" (“killing") in Zurich, in return for $20,000 and a letter indemnifying him from tax troubles. En route home, he meets a stewardess who promptly seduces him and steals his money. It turns out she’s been sent to convince him to undertake a second assassination during a perilous climb of the Eiger. Hemlock flies to Arizona to get back into shape for the dangerous climb. He reunites with old friend Ben Bowman (George Kennedy); Bowman introduces him to a Native American trainer, who puts Hemlock through his paces. Once in Switzerland, Hemlock and Bowman join three other members of the climbing team. One of Hemlock’s fellow climbers is the target, but he cannot ascertain which before they leave to attempt climbing the north face of the Eiger. Falling rocks kill one and the other two fall to their deaths, leaving Hemlock the sole survivor—and only then does he discover the real killer’s identity.

A rare case where a favorite score had the most optimal situation regarding elements. Well, one could say that the 3-channel, split mono sources more common for '70s Universal scores is less than ideal, but the end result sounds plenty great to me with a convincing stereo spread. |

This is a great release and I can't wait to receive my copy! However, some people on JWFan and FSM noticed an issue with a track on disc 2: it seems that the 15th track starts a few seconds early, at the end of track 14. This can be annoying, especially when you want to make a playlist with your own order of tracks. Here is how the waveform looks like, at the end of track 14 : This affects all copies which makes me think it is a master or pressing issue where the track splitting was incorrectly done for this part of the disc. Do you think this can be fixed for future pressings? |

I was wondering why this album went temporarily out of stock so quick. Must be because of the indexing error. |

If I ever rip my release to make it portable, it would be disc #1, not #2, but I suppose it should be fixed. Sucks financially for the label. |

Hopefully the issue somehow happened at the pressing plant and Intrada is not financially liable. It would indeed suck to lose a decent chunk of money over such a small issue affecting a couple of mere source cues. |

Intrada seems to be having some bad luck lately... first Sleepy Hollow, now this... wondering what happened with Extreme Prejudice considering it is also out of stock already... unless those few extra minutes were enough to convince hundreds of people to order immediately and there simply wasn't enough copies in the first batch pressed. |
