レーベルより： Our Bill Conti festival continues with not one, or two, but three previously unreleased scores making their premiere here.
Rookie of the Year (1993) is a heroic sports scores complete with Conti fanfares and loads of orchestral fireworks! It's heroic and fun and is the most requested score of Conti's work in the 90s.
A Night In The Life of Jimmy Reardon (1988) is a light and very charming score for this coming of age love story from the 80s.
Bushwhacked (1995), when added to Rookie of the Year, turns this CD into something of a tribute to the films of Daniel Stern. Neither a hit at the time nor particularly well-remembered a decade later, what Bushwhacked does have going for it is a wonderfully spirited Conti score that features some adventurous music for the great outdoors.
All in all, this is a must-have for all Conti (and Chicago Cubs) fans. Rookie of the Year makes the release of this CD a major-league event all its own, but when Jimmy Reardon and Bushwhacked are thrown in, it knocks it out of the park.

VARESE CLUB 1500枚限定盤！なんと初リリースとなるビル・コンティのスコア３作品もＣＤ１枚に収録！
トラックリスト「がんばれ！ルーキー」・・・人気凋落を憂えて球界にカツを入れる楽しい作品で、主演のトーマス少年の明るさ、彼の憧れのベテラン投手のゲイリー・ビューシイの渋さ、監督スターン自演のピンぼけコーチのコメディ・リリーフがバランスよく調和している。
「ジミー さよならのキスもしてくれない」・・・リヴァー・フェニックスが自分の将来や恋に悩む十代の少年を好演。自分の現状に不満を持ち、両親を疎ましく思うこの年ごろ特有の、悶々とした思いがアメリカの青春映画らしいテンポの良さで描かれている。
「サバイバルガイド」・・・身におぼえのない殺人の罪を着せられた男が、逃亡のために命がけの山登りを繰り広げるコメディ。
