NEAR MINT - UNSEALED - ONLY ONE AVAILABLE

Presenting the first ever official, studio-endorsed CD release of composer Jerome Moross’ classic, original score to the beloved 1958 MGM/UA epic western, THE BIG COUNTRY, starring Gregory Peck, Carroll Baker, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives and Chuck Connors and directed by William Wyler. Digitally remastered from the original mono source and complimented with exclusive liner notes and official art, this special release of Moross’ original score recording is limited to 3000 units.

Wyler's powerful Western covers a lot of territory with Gregory Peck as a sea captain who travels west to marry and settle, but finds himself in the middle of a bitter dispute over water rights and a jealous clash with the ranch foreman (Charlton Heston). He also discovers his fiancee isn't who he imagined and finds true romance with the local schoolmistress (Jean Simmons). Folk singer Burl Ives surprised audiences with his performance which garnered him a Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
