Victor Young - JOHNNY GUITAR (us, Ray 1954)
It's my impression that the soundtrack album only really became a thing a little while after Johnny Guitar. Imagine then my surprise at finding this handsome, sealed LP. Citadel, a Burbank subsidiary of Varèse Sarabande, in 1981 raided the Republic vaults for the original safety acetates, and here we are (they did likewise for Touch of Evil around the same time). It is, of course, fantastic, and I challenge you not to recite that scene when it comes.
