This is the long
out-of-print LP release from STARLOG RECORDS of suites and themes from
both motion picutures and TV programs scored by Albert Glasser.
Albert Glasser was one of the most prolific B-movie composers, Glasser
started off as a copyist in the music department at Warner Brothers in
the late 1930's, learning the art of film scoring from scratch while working
under such big guns as Max Steiner and Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
He graduated to orchestrating and by the mid-40s was composing and directing
his own scores.
A hard, fast worker, Glasser found his musical skills put to the test
in the frantic, down-to-the-wire world of B-picture making. He scored
a staggering 135 movies between 1944 and 1962, not counting at least 35
features for which he received no credit.
In addition to scoring 300 television shows and 450 radio programs, he
arranged and conducted for the noted American operetta composer Rudolf
Friml and orchestrated for Ferde Grofe (with whom he first collaborated
on the sci-fi classic "Rocketship X-M").
This collection includes music from original soundtrack recordings taken
from such films as "The Buckskin Girl" (starring Patricia Medina
and Gerald Mohr), "Top of The World" (starring Dale Robertson
and Evelyn Keyes) as well as a number of classic "B" Sci-Fi
Films produced by Bert I. Gordon such as "The Beginning Of The End",
"The Amazing Colossal Man", "The Cyclops" and "The
Boy and The Pirates".
Also featured is music from the 50's TV programs "Big Town"
(starring Patrick McVey, Jane Nigh and Mary K. Wells) and "The Cisco
Kid " (Starring Duncan Renaldo and Leo Carrillo.
