Notes
The world premier release of Elmer Bernstein's soundtrack to the popular 1971 John Wayne western Big Jake, directed by George Sherman (with allegedly uncredited help by Wayne himself).

Elmer Bernstein set a precedent with The Magnificent Seven that was always going to be difficult to live up to, but live up to it he did on numerous occasions. Big Jake was one of many John Wayne movies he scored. At such a relatively late stage in the career of The Duke, it is inevitable that Bernstein's music must take on a slightly different tone from his earlier soundtracks. While remaining as boisterous and exciting as ever, Bernstein frequently adds an air of grace and quiet dignity to the proceedings and his rambunctious title theme is certainly among is most memorable. Also worth noting is the soundtrack's thrilling action music which tempers it throughout; Bernstein's music for westerns always enhances Hollywood's notion of the American west being a bright and exciting place to be and the Big Jake soundtrack is no exception. The endless vistas and great personal relationships are summed up far better by the music of Elmer Bernstein than they ever could be by mere words alone.

Limited to 3000 copies.
