Bruce Kimmel's liner notes for this two disc limited edition release from Kritzerland lavishes an almost hyperbolic level of praise on Pino Donaggio's score for Carrie. In a single sentence Kimmel calls it both "a perfect score" and "a masterpiece of film scoring" with "unforgettable themes that capture every nuance of the film."
The soundtrack album that was released back in 1976 was an abbreviation, of course. 35 minutes of music that, for the most part, was from the second half of the film.
As would be the case with just about every soundtrack album of that era, there were snippets and selections of the score that I loved that were excluded from the album. Not so with this release. It contains every note of the film score, in film order.
The snippets and selections I am glad to have included here? The second part of Track 2 - The Ashtray, Track 5 - Calisthenics, and Track 8 - The Tuxedo Shop.
