Presenting the world premiere release of selections from acclaimed composer Les Baxter's (THE DUNWICH HORROR, PANIC IN YEAR ZERO, HELL'S BELLES, BEACH BLANKET BINGO) original scores to Roger Corman's 1963 classic shocker "X" THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES and the "MORELLA" chapter of Corman's 1962 Edgar Allan Poe-themed anthology feature TALES OF TERROR. After an exhaustive search, only the final two-thirds of X-RAY's score was recovered, but contained within those ΒΌ inch elements was the partial score to the Vincent Price-starring "Morella" segment of TALES OF TERROR. Both are presented here and feature the immortal Baxter at his jazzed-infused gothic best. Produced by Ford A. Thaxton and painstakingly mastered by James Nelson from MGM vault elements, this release features in-depth liner notes from film music writer Randall D. Larson. A must-have for film music enthusiasts, especially those Baxter and Corman fans! This is a limited edition of 1200 units.
