"[PRE-ORDER] Product expected to ship by street date, November 18th, 2022. All orders containing a pre-order will hold until all items are in stock and ready to ship.\nThe Iron Giant (1999) is a modern classic, an animated film directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol) about a young boy who befriends a giant alien robot during the Sputnik era of the Cold War. Based on the 1968 book The Iron Man by poet Ted Hughes, the film is a marvel of heartfelt storytelling, with timeless themes of friendship, caring and self-determination.\nThe 2-LP package taps directly into the ethos of the film, with a pull tab opening the Giant’s die-cut eyes on the front jacket. Depending on which inner sleeve has been slotted in the first position directly behind the cover, the reveal is different. Open the eyes in normal or defense mode!\nCreating the Iron Giant’s beautiful, sympathetic score was Michael Kamen—one of his last major scores and his first animated film, miles away from the action blockbusters for which he had become known, but much closer to his heart. Kamen’s gorgeous score is full of melody, humor and sensitivity, grandly performed by the Czech Philharmonic. It scales as big as the threat of nuclear annihilation, and as intimate as the goodness that connects nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes to the alien machine—who decides he would rather be “Superman” than a weapon.\nVarèse Sarabande released Kamen’s The Iron Giant score as a 49-minute program in 1999. This Deluxe Edition fills two LPs, with a 64-minute score program plus 13 minutes of alternates, outtakes and rare demos—including a piano-and-guitar attempt at an unrealized song, “Souls Don’t Die,” based on Kamen’s theme, performed by Kamen and Eric Clapton. Tim Greiving’s new liner notes feature new interview material with director Brad Bird, music editor Christopher Brooks and orchestrator Blake Neely, going deep into Kamen’s working process and their adoration for the gifted, late composer.\n\nTracklist\nLP 1, Side A:\n\nThe Eye Of The Storm\nHogarth Hughes\nCreepy Music / Hogarth Investigates\nInto The Forest\nThe Giant Wakes\nHogarth In Car / Sting For FBI Man: Suite\nCome And Get It\nShut Off Switch / Rock Tree: Suite\nCat And Mouse\nTrain Wreck\nMagic Rebuild / Hand Underfoot: Suite\nChew Your Food\n\nLP 1, Side B:\n\nAmerika\nGreat Ride\nWe Gotta Hide\nHis Name Is Dean\nHe Can Stay\nEating Art\nSpace Car\nSouls Don't Die\nContest Of Wills\nThe Army Arrives\nAnnie And Dean\nI'm Superman\n\nLP 2, Side A:\n\nHe's A Weapon\nGiant Discovered\nTrance Former\nNo Following\nThe Last Giant Piece\nEnd Credits: Suite\nBedtime Stories\n\nLP 2, Side B:\n\nWild Tam-Tam\nChew Your Food Pickup\nDuck And Cover\nEarly Demo #1\nEarly Demo #2\nSouls Don’t Die\n"
