Vince DiCola OST Rocky IV (Score)

This premium 180 gram vinyl album is deluxe UV-coated with a full-color gatefold jacket and artwork title on the spine, and enclosed in thick polywrap bag. This is the world vinyl premiere of the original score from mega-hit fourth installment of wildly popular Rocky saga, starring Sylvester Stallone as iconic boxer, with Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers - and formidable Russian opponent Dolph Lundgren. The original 1985 album featured songs plus two excerpts from score. The Intrada release offers entire score by Vince DiCola, including his arrangement of classic "Theme from Rocky" by Bill Conti. Unleashed at last is rich score, initially for keyboards, ultimately for large orchestra. Many highlights include haunting piano/cello theme for "Apollo's Death and Funeral", powerful "Up the Mountain" sequence, dynamic "Training Montage", powerhouse "War", epic "Knockout" for full orchestra. Intrada presents score in crisp, punchy stereo mixed directly from original 24-track digital masters courtesy of Sony.
