La-La Land Records and The Jim Henson Company present an expanded 3-CD soundtrack set of renowned composer Trevor Jones’ (CLIFFHANGER) original motion picture score to the 1982 landmark fantasy feature film THE DARK CRYSTAL, directed by Jim Henson and Frank Oz.
THE DARK CRYSTAL was a boundary-exploding feat of puppetry and cinema, re-inventing what had been previously thought possible and resulting in a breathtaking achievement of immersive world-building that still retains its power and wonder to this day. A vital part of this endeavor’s success is composer Trevor Jones’ outstanding original music score ? a tremendous accomplishment that has also stood the test of time.
Now, for the first time ever, this deluxe 3-CD release, conceived, assembled and produced by Trevor Jones himself, features the bounty of music the maestro composed for the initial, longer cut of THE DARK CRYSTAL, in its original intended order. Copies of the master tapes recorded at CTS Wembley were digitized along with the composer’s entire body of work, which is now archived at the University of Leeds. Jones personally reassembled and remastered the audio at Abbey Road for this special presentation.
Produced by Trevor Jones and Tim Greiving, and mastered by Andrew Walter under the composer’s sole supervision and approval, this release includes a wealth of previously unreleased music within its newly Expanded Score Soundtrack presentation, which is spread across two discs, while the original 1982 soundtrack program is featured on Disc 3. Limited to 5000 units, this deluxe set includes a 32-page booklet containing exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Greiving (featuring new interviews with Trevor Jones and Frank Oz) and rare artwork and photos from the Henson Archive. The sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.

ジム・ヘンソンとフランク・オズが監督した1982年の画期的なファンタジー長編映画『ダーク・クリスタル』のオリジナ・サウンドトラックを収録した3枚組CD完全盤がリリース！音楽は『クリフハンガー』などのトレヴァー・ジョーンズ。
トラックリスト『ダーク・クリスタル』は、人形劇と映画の境界を打ち破った偉業であり、それまで可能だと思われていたことを再発明し、没入感のある世界構築という息をのむような偉業をもたらした。この試みの成功に欠かせないのが、作曲家トレバー・ジョーンズの卓越したオリジナル・ミュージック・スコアである。
トレヴァー・ジョーンズ自身が企画、構成、プロデュースしたこのデラックス3枚組CDは、史上初めて、巨匠トレヴァー・ジョーンズが『ダーク・クリスタル』のフルスコアを、オリジナルの意図した順序で収録。CTSウェンブリーで録音されたマスター・テープのコピーは、現在リーズ大学にアーカイブされている作曲家の全音源がデジタル化された。ジョーンズは、この特別なプレゼンテーションのために、自らアビーロードでオーディオの再構築とリマスタリングを行いました。
トレヴァー・ジョーンズとティム・グライヴィングによってプロデュースされ、アンドリュー・ウォルターが作曲者の単独監修と承認のもとマスタリングを担当したこのリリースには、2枚のディスクに渡って収録されたエクスパンデッド・スコア・サウンドトラックの中に、未発表の音楽も豊富に収録されており、1982年のオリジナル・サウンドトラック・プログラムはディスク3に収録。5000枚限定のこのデラックス・セットには、グライヴィングによる詳細なライナーノーツ（トレヴァー・ジョーンズとフランク・オズの新インタビューを掲載）と、ヘンソン・アーカイブからの貴重なアートワークや写真を含む32ページのブックレットが付属。シャープなアートデザインはダン・ゴールドワッサー。
