Bias alert!: Williams, Goldsmith, Horner, Zimmer, and the bunch. Not the cream, just the milk. I didn't own a single record of theirs until I had every Rozsa, Herrmann, Tiomkin, Korngold and Waxman record I could find.

if everyone held my opinions what a wonderful world this would be!

hehe

Ben-Hur is simply the best $32 bucks (1996 dollars) I ever spent.

and I like how the trickle down thing is working...from JJ, to John, now to Camillu who SHAMEFULLY does not YET own this score. tsk tsk...

I will, nay, I MUST carry on the Golden Age torch! (cue Chariots of Fire).

now we need to consider what to push for next, John.

NP -- Cleopatra, North; a comparably great 2 CD set

we must be polite now musn't we?

Wow, you paid THAT much for one single score?

back then, you didn't dare see anything like that in west Texas (and you still don't -- musically challenged buyers).
