Michael Kamen - The Iron Giant (Original Motion Picture Score) [2xLP - Green]

Release Date: 5/2/2025
Label: Varese Sarabande

Limited double green colored vinyl LP pressing. The Iron Giant (1999) is an animated film directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles) about a young boy who befriends a giant alien robot during the Cold War. Based on the 1968 book by Ted Hughes, the film is a marvel of heartfelt storytelling with timeless themes of friendship, caring and self-determination. Creating the beautiful score was Michael Kamen - one of his last major scores and his first animated film, miles away from the action blockbusters for which he had become known. His gorgeous score is full of melody, humor and sensitivity, grandly performed by the Czech Philharmonic. Var?se Sarabande originally released the score as a 49-minute program. This Deluxe Edition 2 LP set on GREEN vinyl is expanded to 64 minutes - including alternates, outtakes and demos (including an unrealized song, "Souls Don't Die," performed by Kamen and Eric Clapton). Tim Greiving's liner notes feature interviews with Brad Bird, Christopher Brooks and Blake Neely.
