TAPS

Varese Sarabande Club release. We are so happy to offer this premiere release of Maurice Jarre’s 1981 score, Taps, as one of our latest CD Club additions. Jarre's piano, brass and percussion based score has never before been released. The score is both powerful and haunting and this CD will be a revelation for even those who know the music from this film!

Taps was a powerhouse of young talent, with Timothy Hutton, Tom Cruise and Sean Penn starring alongside George C. Scott and Ronny Cox in this Harold Becker directed film.

When a fiercely devoted group of Military School cadets learn that their school is being sold to real estate developers, they refuse to accept defeat...instead choosing to rise up together to protect the Academy and their honor. But the brave young soldiers soon learn that the most courageous decisions can sometimes have unexpected - and even fatal - consequences! Limited 1200 copies.
