La-La Land Records, Columbia Pictures and Asylum Records proudly present a remastered 2-CD limited edition re-issue of renowned composer Elmer Bernstein’s (GHOSTBUSTERS, TRUE GRIT, STRIPES) original motion picture score to the 1981 big screen, cult classic animated fantasy/action epic HEAVY METAL, produced by Ivan Reitman and directed by Gerald Potterton.
A highly ambitious feature film animated adaptation of the legendary comic magazine HEAVY METAL required a musical underscore worthy of launching the entire enterprise into the stratosphere and the late, great Elmer Bernstein proved more than up to the challenge, delivering a rousing orchestral score that expertly drives the movie’s varied scenarios, moods and characters to wonderous heights. In total, the score remains a signature effort from one of the most uniquely American composers ever to come out of Hollywood.
Produced by Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this deluxe remastered release features the Score Presentation on Disc One, sourced from the composer’s own ?” stereo tapes, while Disc Two unleashes the Original 1981 Score Album, which offers a different mix, and is also making its world premiere CD debut here, sourced from the original album masters. Limited to 1500 units, this release features exclusive, in-depth liner notes by author Jeff Bond, including new comments from the film’s special effects director, John Bruno, and thrilling art direction by Dan Goldwasser.

1981年のカルト・ファンタジー・アクション・アニメのオリジナル・サウンドトラックがリマスター、CD2枚組でリリース！エルマー・バーンスタインによるシンフォニック・スコア！
トラックリストあらゆる時間・空間・次元を支配する悪の化身“ロック・ナー”が引き起こす悲劇や喜劇（？）を全７話で綴る。アメリカでカルト的人気を誇っているアダルト・コミック誌『ＨＥＡＶＹ ＭＥＴＡＬ』を基に作られたオムニバス形式のアニメーション。アイヴァン・ライトマン製作、監督はジェラルド・パッタートン。
伝説的なコミック雑誌『ヘビー・メタル』をアニメ化するという非常に野心的な長編映画には、作品全体を成層圏に押し上げるにふさわしい音楽的アンダースコアが必要であったが、偉大なる故エルマー・バーンスタインは、この難題に十二分に応えることを証明し、映画のさまざまなシナリオ、ムード、キャラクターを素晴らしい高みへと巧みに導く、熱狂的なオーケストラ・スコアを提供した。このスコアは、ハリウッドが生んだ最もユニークなアメリカ人作曲家の一人による、代表的な作品である。
ニール・S・バルクがプロデュースし、ダグ・シュワルツがマスタリングを担当したこのデラックス・リマスター盤は、作曲者自身の1/4インチ・ステレオ・テープを使用したスコア・プレゼンテーションをディスク1に収録。ディスク2には、ミックスが異なる1981年のオリジナル・スコア・アルバムをオリジナル・アルバム・マスターから世界初CD化！
限定1500枚。
