La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures and Universal Music Special Markets present the remastered and expanded release of acclaimed composer Marc Shaiman's (CITY SLICKERS, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES, THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT, HAIRSPRAY) original motion picture score to the 1991 Paramount Pictures gothic comedy feature film THE ADDAMS FAMILY, starring Anjelica Huston, Raul Julia and Christopher Lloyd, and directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. Mr. Shaiman does the world's most favorite ooky family proud with a lush and sweeping orchestral score -- full of infectious themes and rich, lively motifs that will guarantee a smile on any listener's face. Produced by Dan Goldwasser and mastered by Doug Schwartz, this deluxe re-issue clocks in at over 70 minutes and is greatly expanded beyond its original 1991 soundtrack release. There's music here that Shaiman wrote and recorded that didn't make the final cut of the film, as well as Bonus Tracks that include the trailer's music and more! Film music writer Daniel Schweiger contributes exclusive liners that spin an in-depth web about the film and its amazing score, while Goldwasser's art design gives the packaging a delightfully Gothic flair.
