La-La Land Records, Warner Bros. and Sony Music Entertainment presents the remastered and expanded 2-CD reissue of renowned composer Thomas Newman’s (LESS THAN ZERO, AMERICAN BEAUTY, SKYFALL, BRIDGE OF SPIES) acclaimed original motion picture score from the beloved 1994 feature film THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman, and directed by Frank Darabont. Thomas Newman’s iconic score is pitch-perfect, expertly balancing sadness, despair, humor and exaltation as it nurtures and enrichens a film that is now considered to be an all-time dramatic masterpiece. Produced by Constantine Nasr, Dan Goldwasser and Mike Matessino, produced for Sony Music by Jeff James and Didier C. Deutsch, mastered by Matessino, and supervised by the composer, this 2-CD set has been expanded over the original 1994 soundtrack release by more than 58 minutes, featuring never-before-released score tracks, as well as alternate cues, album versions and source music. Limited to 3500 units, this special release includes exclusive, in-depth liner notes by album co-producer Nasar and writer Tim Greiving (with new interview comments from the composer) — with classic art design by album co-producer Goldwasser and a striking front cover by famed artist Drew Struzan.
