Based on the 1968 book \u003cem\u003eThe Iron Man\u003c\/em\u003e by poet Ted Hughes, the film is a marvel of heartfelt storytelling, with timeless themes of friendship, caring and self-determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2-LP package taps directly into the ethos of the film, with a pull tab opening the Giant’s die-cut eyes on the front jacket.

Kamen’s gorgeous score is full of melody, humor and sensitivity, grandly performed by the Czech Philharmonic. It scales as big as the threat of nuclear annihilation, and as intimate as the goodness that connects nine-year-old Hogarth Hughes to the alien machine—who decides he would rather be “Superman” than a weapon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarèse Sarabande released Kamen’s \u003cem\u003eThe Iron Giant\u003c\/em\u003e score as a 49-minute program in 1999. This Deluxe Edition fills two LPs, with a 64-minute score program plus 13 minutes of alternates, outtakes and rare demos—including a piano-and-guitar attempt at an unrealized song, “Souls Don’t Die,” based on Kamen’s theme, performed by Kamen and Eric Clapton. Tim Greiving’s new liner notes feature new interview material with director Brad Bird, music editor Christopher Brooks and orchestrator Blake Neely, going deep into Kamen’s working process and their adoration for the gifted, late composer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Craft Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43045698764875,"sku":"888072448025","price":79.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/IronGiantDeluxeGreenVareseWebsitePackshot.png?v=1786979852","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/iron-giant-the-the-deluxe-edition-2-lp-green-vinyl-varese-exclusive","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
