Tacones Lejanos (High Heels)

[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Enterprises, Island Records and El Deseo, presents the remastered reissue of the music composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto (THE LAST EMPEROR, LITTLE BUDDHA, WUTHERING HEIGHTS) for Pedro Almodóvar’s 1989 cult classic, TACONES LEJANOS (aka HIGH HEELS), a noir melodrama starring Victoria Abril, Marisa Paredes and Miguel Bosé.

After his collaborations with Bernardo Bonezzi and Ennio Morricone, and before his long and successful partnership with Alberto Iglesias, Almodóvar worked with the young, Oscar-winning Japanese composer.

Sakamoto wrote a radiant melodramatic score whose main theme was immediately one of his hits. The album also includes the two songs performed by Luz Casal for the film (“Un año de amor” and “Piensa en mí”), which became instant icons of Spanish cinema.

This limited LP edition, pressed on audiophile 140 GM transparent red vinyl, has been specially restored and mastered by Chris Malone from the first-generation stereo master tapes. The luxurious gatefold artwork features the artistry of Juan Gatti.
