DESCRIPTION:
In 1974 Bernard Herrmann arranged a suite from the film score he composed for director Rober Wise's THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951) which was based on the story "Farewell to the Master" by Harry Bates. He recorded the suite in London conducting the National Philharmonic Orchestra. The suite was the third of four suites on the London Phase 4 album THE FANTASY FILM WORLD OF BERNARD HERRMANN. The suite contains the cues "Outer Space", "Radar", "Gort", "The Robot", "Space Control", "Terror" and "Farewell and Finale".

The artwork for the cover of the LP is the work of artist Richard Kriegler.
