La La Land Records releases of a limited edition of a remastered edition of the
Jane Eyre 1970 soundtrack by John Williams:
Jane Eyre: Limited Edition
Limited Edition of 2000 Units
La-La Land Records and Capitol Records presents a remastered re-issue of acclaimed composer John Williams' (War Horse, Schindler's List, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Jaws) original score to the 1971 feature film period drama Jane Eyre, starring George C. Scott and Susannah York, and directed by Delbert Mann. Considered by many to be one of Williams' finest scores, this re-issue was remastered by Doug Schwartz from the 1/4" 2 track stereo album masters housed in the Capitol/EMI vaults. Sadly, the complete, recorded score has been lost to the ages, but this re-issue sounds better-than-ever and features stunning art design by Jim Titus and exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Williams historian Jeff Eldridge (the original LP liners are included as well). Produced by Lukas Kendall, this special re-issue is limited to 2000 units.

More information on the
NY Film Music Examiner and a
review:
This wonderful reissue by LaLaLand Records features a bright new sound to the music which sounds far suprior to the original releases by Silva Screen and it's an important release of Williams' grand early masterwork to which he had to sit down and listen and reorchestrate the score from to create the suite of music for his concerts in the future. The sad part is that the album couldn't be further expanded due to the original tapes lost to age, still this album is still a marvellous and elegant work that really deserves to be rediscovered once again.
