One of the most requested soundtracks of the 1980s, Bill Conti's classic, Academy Award-winning soundtrack receives its world premiere release!
Winner of four Academy Awards, The Right Stuff chronicles the story of the pioneering Mercury astronauts: men named Shepard, Grissom, Glenn, Carpenter, Schirra, Cooper and Slayton, the first Americans to ride a primitive spacecraft solo into a new frontier. Preceding them in the history books was the legendary Chuck Yeager who, far removed from the awesome media spotlight that would focus on the spacemen a decade later, became the first man to break the sound barrier piloting the fabled X-1. Sam Shephard (as Yeager), Ed Harris, Dennis Quaid, Barbara Hershey, Fred Ward and others, in a marvelous ensemble cast, make this sweeping saga funny, touching and bracingly human.
Back in the 80s we released a concert suite of The Right Stuff, paired with a concert suite of North and South, featuring Mr. Conti conducting the London Symphony Orchestra. The actual soundtrack that won Conti an Oscar, however has, mind-bogglingly, never been released!
This is the actual album, produced by Bill Conti himself, which was prepared but never released, back in 1983. A genuine classic featuring the kind of themes that film music fans long for.
