In celebration of John Williams‘ 90th birthday and the 45th Anniversary of the classic film CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, La-La Land Records, Sony Music and Columbia Pictures present CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND: 45th ANNIVERSARY REMASTERED LIMITED EDITION, a special 2-CD reissue release featuring our restored and remastered presentation of Academy Award-Winning composer John Williams’ (JAWS, STAR WARS, SCHINDLER’S LIST) original motion picture score to the 1977 landmark feature film CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Richard Dreyfuss and Teri Garr. Maestro Williams’ score personifies this classic film’s boundless wonder ? searching through, and communicating with, the deep expanses of space as it also explores the unknowable mysteries of the human soul.
This deluxe 2-CD edition, meticulously produced, mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino, in consultation with the composer and director, was inspired by the discovery that Williams had originally planned the soundtrack as a 75-minute double LP. Disc One of this presentation takes its lead from that initial intent, expanding and organizing the score as a grand symphony contained on a single disc. Disc Two offers an equally fresh experience of the score, comprised of discrete versions of cues, alternates and selections not heard on Disc One, plus many of the 1977 album tracks, as well as previously unreleased source music recorded for the film. Matessino’s exclusive liner notes explore this iconic, majestic score, while Jim Titus’ art design handsomely recalls all those joyous feelings generated by one of the greatest science fiction film experiences of all time. This is a limited edition release of 5000 units.
NOTE: Aside from the “45th Anniversary” notation on the CD’s front cover, this re-issue utilizes the same master and overall content as our previous 40th Anniversary 2-CD release.

ジョン・ウィリアムズの生誕90 周年と、映画「未知との遭遇」の公開から45周年を記念して、同作のオリジナルサウンドトラック盤をリマスターし、2枚組の特別版としてリリース!
トラックリストジョン・ウィリアムズのすでに巨匠としての卓越した音楽的才能がこの映画の限りない驚き-永遠の宇宙の探索、対話、そして人間の魂の未知のミステリー-を表現した傑作スコア。
この2枚組の豪華版は、作曲家と監督と相談しながらマイク・マテジーノが入念に制作、ミキシング、マスタリングを行ったもので、ウィリアムズがこのサウンドトラックを当初75分の2枚組LPとして計画していたことが判明したことに端を発している。よってこの復刻完全盤のディスク1では、その意図を汲んで、1枚のディスクに壮大なシンフォニーを収録。ディスク2では、ディスク1で聴くことのできないキュー、オルタネイト、セレクションの別バージョン、1977年のアルバム曲、映画のために録音された未発表のソースミュージックなどで構成され、スコアの新鮮さを体験することができるものとして構成されている。
全世界5000枚限定生産。(ジャケットに「45thAnniversary」の表記があるほかは、40周年記念盤として以前発売された同じマスターを使用し、同じ内容となっています。)＜輸入盤国内仕様＞
インディアナポリスで続発する謎の停電事故。調査のため派遣されたロイは、そこで信じられないような出来事を目撃する。だが、彼の驚くべき体験を誰も信じようとはせず、調査は政治的圧力によって妨害されてしまう。しかしロイは何かに導かれるように、真実の探求を始めた。そして彼が辿り着いた場所とは…。監督：リチャード・ドレイファス、出演：フランソワ・トリュフォー、テリー・ガー。1977年米。
