Any body still read em?What made me think of this is seeing that SOUNDTRACK is cellebrating it's 25th anniversary!
I first bought a copy of this in That's Entertainment (a no-longer there soundtrack retailor in London) when Luc Van deVen's publication was called Soundtrack Collectors quarterly, Back then this was a veritable Bible for score lovers like myself, and of coarse there was no Web then!,How did we ever manage?!
The point is, do you still buy and read them considering we have so much info at our finger tips now??!ME?...I still buy Soundtrack, also Music from The Movies and FSM!
...and also LEGEND The Goldsmith Society publication.
personally I think it's our duty to continue to support publications like these!!What do YOU think??

Hmmm, don't know. The last SOUNDTRACK! I actually read was a library copy (the Mid-Manhattan Library actually subscribes!), with the cover story about Goldsmith's 70th birthday, replete with real-life anecdotes. I wish I had a copy of that one, may yet go looking for it. I first saw SOUNDTRACK! in a now-closed Manhattan moviephile store called "Cinemabilia," around 1983, the same place where I discovered the equally amazing "Japanese Fantasy Film Journal" -- it blew my adolescent mind that there were OTHER PEOPLE who cared both about MOVIE MUSIC and GODZILLA! (The first ever SOUNDTRACK! I bought had a Goldsmith cover, dating to early 1980 or so, containing a partial transcript of a lecture he gave in England, and ALSO reviews by Randall D. Larson of some of the first Japanese Fantasy Film LPs!!!!! All under one cover! Heaven. Heaven.) (As some of you may remember, Larson later took over the zine CINEMASCORE, expanded it to vast proportions, and then merged it with Luc's publication.)At present I read FSM, if only to keep up with who's doing what; I'd read the European publications too, if they were more readily available in the magazine sections of Barnes & Noble. (Until I feel flush, which may take another thirty years, I buy as little of anything as I possibly can. I REALLY wanted, but couldn't afford, the two-part Christopher Young interview in the English journal MOVIE MUSIC -- is that what it's called now? it's the most recent descendant of a multi-titled Hydra that started out, waaaaay back when, as the Jerry Goldsmith Appreciation Society. I was among the earliest members. I stopped paying dues after two years, though.)
NP: nothing, but I did bring downstairs that CD of KING KONG ESCAPES that I happened to run into ... does it sing to me at present, or is it mute?
