Godfather, The 1972 Soundtrack LP 2-Disc Set Nino Rota LIMITED EDITION:

THE GODFATHER - ORIGINAL SCORE: LIMITED EDITION (2XLP) – CANNOLI CREAM & MOE GREEN VARIANT - 750 UNITS

Music by Nino Rota

We proudly present a remastered and expanded Limited Edition 2XLP vinyl release of acclaimed composer Nino Rota’s (8 1/2, LA DOLCE VITA, WAR AND PEACE) original motion picture score to the 1972 Academy Award-winning masterpiece THE GODFATHER starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and Diane Keaton, and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Pressed on 180 gram colored vinyl, THE GODFATHER is a 2XLP 33 rpm album that will be available in two striking variants – “Tuxedo Black and White” and “Cannoli Cream and Moe Green”! This deluxe release is the first time the remastered and expanded presentation of Rota’s masterwork is available on LP.

Like the film itself, Rota’s iconic score has woven itself deeply into the fabric of our culture. The music is a dramatic and emotional wonder – deeply soulful and romantic, yet tragic and teaming with pathos. The score’s waltz and love theme have both joined the pantheon of the most universally recognizable movie themes in history.

Produced by Dan Goldwasser and Neil S. Bulk, mixed by Chris Malone and mastered by Doug Schwartz from studio vault elements, this 2XLP release has been approved by Francis Ford Coppola and American Zoetrope. The program features the film’s score presentation mastered in high resolution along with additional and alternate cues, including two tracks by Carmine Coppola. The booklet insert contains liner notes by writer Tim Grieving and the album’s sharp art design is by Dan Goldwasser.
