LIMITED EDITION.

Rhino and Turner Classic Movies Music are pleased to present the premiere release of André Previn's complete scoring sessions from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's 1955 classic motion picture Bad Day At Black Rock and previously unreleased selected themes from Previn's original scores for three additional M-G-M motion pictures, all of which are also now finally available after being long sought-after by fervent film music fans.

One of the 1950s’ finest films, the suspenseful Bad Day At Black Rock was a powerful indictment of the intolerance of the McCarthy era. In an Academy Award-nominated performance, Spencer Tracy plays John Macreedy, who stirs things up in a quiet little town that hides secrets from its past. Director John Sturges and screenwriter Millard Kaufman also earned Oscar nominations for their fine work.

As the premiere release of André Previn's complete scoring sessions from Bad Day At Black Rock amounts to little more than twenty-three minutes of music, we’ve added previously unreleased selected themes from scores from 1949's Tension and Scene Of The Crime and 1951's Cause For Alarm. These earlier M-G-M scores paved the way for increasingly important assignments for Previn.

This Turner Classic Movies Music edition of the Bad Day At Black Rock original motion picture soundtrack contains 32 previously unreleased tracks from four different Previn scores as well as a 20-page booklet featuring a current overview from Turner Classic Movies Music Producer George Feltenstein.
