MONSTROUS MOVIE MUSIC PRESENTS
Creature from the Black Lagoon
(and other jungle pictures)
From the label that produced two of the most acclaimed film music compilations -- Monstrous Movie Music and More Monstrous Movie Music -- comes a new CD featuring world-premiere re-recordings of music from classic science-fiction, fantasy, and horror films!
“Creature From The Black Lagoon (and other jungle pictures)” (MMM-1952) contains all the previously-unreleased music from Universal-International’s legendary 1954 monster movie, Creature From
The Black Lagoon. The 35-minute suite contains 21 cues available for the first time! This landmark score by Herman Stein, Henry Mancini, Milton Rosen, Hans Salter, and Robert Emmett Dolan conjures both the
beauty and horror of the Gill-Man’s Amazonian world, and this album offers practically every second of music previously unavailable on disc. 
The CD also contains almost all the music written for M-G-M’s renowned Tarzan films of the 1930s and ‘40s starring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan, with music from such esteemed composers as Herbert Stothart, William Axt, and Daniele Amfitheatrof.
And finally, there’s a 16-minute suite from The Alligator People, a 1959 B-movie featuring a brilliant swampy score written by Irving Gertz, complete with that ‘50s staple -- the electric violin! Also included are bonus tracks, music cut from the films, and a state-of-the-art 40-page liner book, complete with never-before-released photos, music scores, and information.
Like the previous Monstrous Movie Music CDs, “Creature From The Black Lagoon (and other jungle pictures)” has been vividly recorded through close-miking techniques to recapture the dynamic full-orchestral sound heard at the original Hollywood scoring sessions.
