LUCKY LUKE: DAISY TOWN / LA BALLADE DES DALTON / 2EME SERIE TV (RE-EDITION) (3CD)

3-CD Box Set. Newly remastered reissue.
12-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gilles Loison.

In collaboration with Dargaud Media, Music Box Records is pleased to reissue the soundtracks from the Lucky Luke animated films composed and conducted by Claude Bolling in a 3-CD box set: Daisy Town (1971), La Ballade des Dalton (The Ballad of the Daltons, 1978) and 1990's French television series (Lucky Luke, TV Series 2).

Lucky Luke is a Belgian comics series created by Belgian cartoonist Morris, and for one period written by Rene Goscinny. Set in the American Old West, it stars the title character Lucky Luke, the singing cowboy on a white horse known as the "man who shoots faster than his shadow", largely inspired by westerns, American cartoons and Herge’s Tintin. Morris drew no less than seventy albums of the adventures of Lucky Luke, 300 million books have been sold and the stories of the lone cowboy have been translated into 29 languages. It is one of the most popular and best-selling comic-book series in continental Europe.

Goscinny, the creator of Asterix, directed and co-produced the French-Belgian animated Lucky Luke films. Goscinny and Morris engaged the services of Pierre Tchernia (French cinema and television producer, screenwriter), whom Goscinny had known since 1965 and with whom he shared a great interest in the world of Walt Disney. In 1990, a new series of 26 episodes is produced with the collaboration of Morris.

This present edition showcases Claude Bolling's creative versatility for the two feature-length cartoons and the TV series. The three lively scores offer a wide array of musical styles and genres: western film music, Hollywood musicals, blue grass, tijuana music, jazz music in the Count Basie big band style, some iconic songs such as the famous ‘‘I’m a Poor Lonesome Cowboy’’.

This special 3-CD reissue has been newly remastered from the composer’s original master tapes. The package includes a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Gilles Loison, discussing the films and the scores. The 3-CD release is limited to 300 units.
