Author	Topic: What you'd really like but know it's never going to happen...

Laurence Page Oscar® Winner	I’ve mentioned before how I’d like Rhino to release Spartacus to match their "Ben Hur" / "GWTW" releases - but how about a nice big glossy box of all the remastered Bond scores together - including all the unreleased bits, outtakes, alternatives, rehearsals, with a huge (even glossier) illustrated booklet with interviews, recording photos, posters, score facsimiles, etc. It’s never going to happen, is it? But it’s fun thinking about it… PS> I know I'm sad but I make no excuse..

JEC Oscar® Winner	I'd like to see Monstrous Movie Music record Johnny Douglas's CRACK IN THE WORLD -- but Douglas threw out the music years ago. The session tapes are gone, too. I would also like to see a Rhino "Ben-Hur" style release of QUO VADIS, but the tape/score was destroyed in a fire at MGM (?) [Message edited by JEC on 01-16-2001]

PeterK FishChip	We should wait and see how Chapter III handles their new release of the Quo Vadis? tracks in March. Crossing my fingers... Hypothetical wondering: How can Quo Vadis tapes be destroyed in an MGM fire when Ben Hur tapes live? These films were made so closely together and are so close in subject matter, you'd think they've always been sitting next to one another in the same vaults.

JJH Oscar® Winner	Jack Smith wrote to me in an email: quote: *Hopefully QUO VADIS is some where around. The original tapes were lost.* What Turner has is, apparently, pristine copies of the old soundtrack. simply, an old MGM LP is all there is of original tracks. I have it on CDR with a re-recording. Damned fine score, as all Rozsa's are. NP -- Ride With the Devil**, Mychael Danna

Stephen Lister Oscar® Winner	A box set of Gil Melle scores: THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, THE ORGANISATION, THE SAVAGE IS LOOSE, FRANKENSTEIN THE TRUE STORY, THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN, THE QUESTOR TAPES. A two CD set of music from ALIAS SMITH AND JONES by Billy Goldenberg, Pete Rugolo, John Andrew Tartaglia and David Shire.

A multi-volume collection of Edwin Astley's magnificent TV scores from THE SAINT, RANDALL AND HOPKIRK DECEASED, THE BARON, and just about every other 1960s British crime series you can think of. In my wildest dreams...

Maestro Sartori Oscar® Winner	How about the complete boxed edition of the Indiana Jones Trilogy? The last real word I had of this was that they were waiting for Warner's license of the material to expire so Lucasfilm could reissue the complete score, as was done with Star Wars. Yes, Richard Befan has the Temple of Doom on mp3, but I'd rather pay their hard-earned money for it and have a pristine sounding package with complete notes and photos. Any takers for a petition? Also, while I'm at it, throw in the complete musical experience of the Back to the Future Trilogy, including the period pieces, like any fifties music that establishes Marty McFly's setting so wonderfully.

JJH Oscar® Winner	I second the maestro. BTTF would be a fun package to have. I wouldn't sign a petition on the Indy trilogy though, because I am reasonably confident that these scores will be given their due relatively soon. I hope... NP -- Monty Python, DVD Set 1

Chris Kinsinger Oscar® Winner	Mister Lister, Might we include The Andromeda Strain on your list of Gil Melle scores?
posted 01-16-2001 09:24 PM PT (US)

Stephen Lister Oscar® Winner	Chris, for some reason that one never did anything for me. On this score and elsewhere Melle has done some pretty sophisticated things with electronics, and it works very well in the movie. I love Melle's non-soundtrack electronic album "Mindscape" ... but I just find it frustrating that this fascinating composer's film music is so far only represented on any kind of album by one low-key sci-fi score.

Pete M Oscar® Winner	I'd really like to see complete, remastered CD's of some early Donaggio scores - Piranha & The Howling spring to mind. Also David Newman's Matilda would be excellent. Oh, or a complete Omen trilogy box set, with nice sound. Mmmm. Or maybe a complete Alien Saga box. Mmmmm. Mmmmmm. Me drools. np Poltergeist. [Message edited by Pete M on 01-18-2001]

A.G Oscar® Winner	quote: I'd like to see a score release of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2. Hell, YEAH! I'd LOVE to see a release of GB2, one of Edelmans finest (some great action stuff, and I love the theme/fanfare ) and a great shame it hasn't been released. But the score I'd most like to see released, no question, is Superman IV. Hopefully, with Rhino planning to release limited edition soundtracks, it may happen, though they haven't responded to the campaign/petition .

Cenzo Oscar® Winner	I would love (as I always mention ^_^) a complete Duck Tales television score release. Ron Jones your music for this show is so nostalgic and just plain awesome. If only... OH and a complete version of Gremlins 2 by Jerry Goldsmith. That BTTF collection sounds mighty fine. Good work! That would be sweet, but tis only a dream...sigh Cenzo

MWRuger Oscar® Winner	Well, on my unreleased score list is my perennial choice: THE CAINE MUTINY!!! I recently heard from Mr. Morgan about his visit to the vaults and he reports that score sheets are all there. He mused about doing a Steiner War CD with some other cool cues and a complete Caine Mutiny! So there is hope for me, but until it gets announce officially, I will continue to put it on posts like this one!

John C Winfrey Oscar® Winner	Still pulling for Centennial by Addison and First to Fight, the dumb Chad Everett/Hackman hero-turned-coward and then turned-hero again Marine film. The score is great by Fred Steiner. From 1967. Its built around the As Time Goes By tune. The movie Casablanca is seen in the film. Steiner works it into the romance part of the film and then incorporates it into the cowardly music for Everett's chicken scenes. It has several very good original cues for action sequences and a great main title. Hackman has a good backup role in the film as the marine sergeant who helps him turn hero again. Some of the coward scenes are laughable. Several good secondary themes in the film too. One of his best overall unrecorded scores. Would make a nice 45-50 min CD. I asked Tony Thomas about these and several others in 1979. Since then all the others have been released including Too Late the Hero. Best, John.

How about throwing in the original RCA LP artwork for good measure!
