La-La Land Records and Paramount Pictures proudly present a remastered CD reissue of renowned composer John Williams' original motion picture score to the 1977 dramatic feature film thriller BLACK SUNDAY, starring Robert Shaw and Bruce Dern, and directed by John Frankenheimer.
A white-knuckle suspense thriller chronicling a diabolical terrorist attack on the Super Bowl via airborne blimp needed a score to wind the film's ticking clock tension with precision. At the time, Williams' recent FAMILY PLOT and legendary JAWS scores made him a perfect choice to tackle BLACK SUNDAY. His score to the film is pitch-perfect ? a winding tapestry of percussion and ominous atmosphere that had the audience on the edge of their seats, while the inner conflicts of the characters are explored through emotionally resonant melodic material. The composer's remarkable ability to balance action and suspense with human drama is on full display within this remastered presentation of the Maestro's few forays into the political thriller genre.
Reissue Producer Mike Matessino has newly mixed and mastered the score from first-generation 16-track analog scoring elements, transferred in high resolution by Paramount Archives. Following the main Score Presentation, tracks of Additional Music feature three pieces of source music Williams composed for the film and the original end credits composition, "The End," without the percussion track. This was considered as an alternative before it was decided to track tense action music over the credits. The program concludes with the music as presented for the ending of the picture, opening with the revised ending of "The Explosion." This short cue was recorded long after the main scoring sessions. As no master element could be located, the cue is presented from the original mono dubbing stem for the film, processed for stereo.
This Limited Edition CD re-issue of 3000 units features all new, in-depth liner notes from writer Jeff Bond and winning new art direction by Jim Titus.

ジョン・ウィリアムズ作曲による1977年公開のスリラー映画『ブラック・サンデー』（主演：ロバート・ショウ、ブルース・ダーン／監督：ジョン・フランケンハイマー）のオリジナル・サウンドトラックがリマスターCDとして再発売！
トラックリスト空中飛行船によるスーパーボウルへの悪魔的なテロ攻撃を描く、手に汗握るサスペンス・スリラーには、映画の刻々と迫る緊張感を精密に紡ぐスコアが必要だった。当時、ウィリアムズは『ファミリー・プロット』と伝説的『ジョーズ』のスコアを手掛けており、『ブラック・サンデー』に取り組むのに完璧な選択だった。本作のスコアは完璧な調和を奏でる??観客を席の端に釘付けにした打楽器と不気味な空気感の絡み合うタペストリーであり、同時に登場人物の内面の葛藤は情感豊かな旋律素材を通じて探求される。アクションとサスペンスを人間ドラマと見事に調和させる作曲家の卓越した才能が、この政治スリラーという稀有なジャンルへの巨匠の挑戦において、リマスター版で余すところなく披露されている。
プロデューサーのマイク・マテシーノは、パラマウント・アーカイブズによるハイレゾ転送を経た第一世代16トラック・アナログレコーディング音源から、本作のスコアを新たにミックス・マスタリングした。メインのスコア・プレゼンテーションに続き、追加音楽トラックにはウィリアムズが本作のために作曲した3曲のソース音楽と、打楽器トラックを除いたオリジナル・エンドクレジット曲「ザ・エンド」が収録されています。これはクレジットに緊迫したアクション音楽を流すことが決定される前に、代替案として検討されていたものである。プログラムは、映画のエンディングで使用された音楽で締めくくられ、改訂版エンディング「The Explosion」で幕を開ける。この短いキューはメイン録音セッションよりずっと後に録音された。マスター素材が見つからなかったため、映画のオリジナルモノラル・ダビング・ステムからステレオ処理を施した音源で収録されている。
ライター、ジェフ・ボンドによる新規の詳細なライナーノーツと、ジム・タイタスによる受賞歴のある新たなアートディレクションが収録。
限定3000枚。
