Bullitt Expanded edition

FSM presents one of the most quintessentially "cool" soundtracks ever: Lalo Schifrin's score for the classic urban crime drama, Bullitt (1968).

The CD also includes the never-before-released complete film soundtrack itself, recorded at the Warner Bros. scoring stage in Burbank by legendary engineer Dan Wallin. These tracks have been newly mixed and mastered from ½" three-track tape stored at the studio. While some score passages and cues are virtually identical to the record album, many of the film soundtrack's softer, moodier cues were not chosen for the LP--or had certain passages rewritten. And some were dropped from the film itself, so have never been heard before by the public--until now.

The booklet includes a perceptive, in-depth essay on the film and its score by John Bender and detailed track-by-track commentary by Alexander Kaplan.
