Lalo Schifrin JAP Reissue OST LP Cool hand Luke NM ’79 MCA VIM7250 Paul Newman Japanese Reissue Soundtrack LP released in 1979 on MCA Records. Cat: VIM7250. Comes with insert which is in Near Mint condition.
Of all the film scores Lalo Schifrin has composed good and bad, and yes, he's done some stinkers the score to Stuart Rosenberg's 1967 film Cool Hand Luke, a star vehicle for Paul Newman, is among his greatest achievements. First, there is the score itself, pure cinema in scope, breadth, and architecture. Next is its attempted marriage to bluegrass music not entirely successful, but pretty great anyway and finally there is Schifrin's attempt to offer an actual view of the character through the score, not just provide a series of incidentals to accompany the movement of a plot. The complexities of Newman's Luke are borne out in a score that works futuristic themes (like the CNN-meets-Star Trek music for the "Tar Sequence," the most problematic in the film), gorgeous jazz elements (just check out "Lucille," a seductive love theme if there ever was one), and bluegrass concepts into a framework where they were needed but would be obtrusive no matter where they were placed like Luke himself. This shows through loud and clear on "Egg-Eating Contest," even if Schifrin's sensibilities run closer to Jobim than Bill Monroe.
