Elysee Productions is pleased to announce its forthcoming original soundtrack release, DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN (1971), music composed and conducted by William Lava. The film was directed by Al Adamson, the man responsible for such drive-in movie classics as HORROR OF THE BLOOD MONSTERS, BLAZING STEWARDESSES, FIVE BLOODY GRAVES and SATAN'S SADISTS.
Independent-International Pictures archived the original mono mixdown scoring masters from which this CD is produced. Every Lava composition is intact including a cue that was never used in the film! The studio also supplied four tracks that are composites of different Lava cues. These four tracks were created in post production by producer Samuel M. Sherman and used in the movie. This CD will be a revelation; you will hear for the first time William Lava's original score exactly as recorded as well as the four Sherman post-production edits assembled from those cues.
Also included are six "Bonus Tracks," the "Independent-International Pictures Radio Spot-O-Rama," (a compilation of 16 horror and exploitation radio spot commercials from the studio's archives) and "Audio Liner Notes" -- an 18-min. track featuring producer Samuel M. Sherman discussing behind the scenes details about the composer, the musical score and the production of radio spot commercials. Rounding out this premier package is a 16-pg. Collector's Photo Booklet featuring rare color and black and white stills.
DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN's score also utilized bits and pieces of music library compositions by J.D. Lobue, Jack Shaindlin, Harry Lubin, Bert Shefter, Paul Sawtell and Hans Salter which are not on this CD. Obtaining suitable source material, securing multiple rights and recreating their edited forms as heard in the film would have rendered this project unfeasible.
