Press Release from FSM: For its 250th (and final) release, Film Score Monthly wanted to do something special. Founder Lukas Kendall chose a personal favorite, a brilliant film by an inspired director with a stunning score by a gifted composer, as a fitting capstone for fifteen years of work in the soundtrack field. Sam Peckinpah's revisionist western, The Wild Bunch (1969) stands as one of the great films, a rare piece of Hollywood genre filmmaking in which a singular vision fuses all the technical and creative components into genuine art. The film's powerful, Oscar-nominated score is arguably the greatest accomplishment of its composer, Jerry Fielding. Film Score Monthly's deluxe 3CD presentation of The Wild Bunch includes the complete score, sourced from studio masters; a re-mastering of the 1969 soundtrack album; plus extensive alternates, demo recordings and additional music. The 20-page booklet (designed by FSM's art director Joe Sikoryak) includes informative liner notes by Lukas Kendall and John Takis.
