TimT Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by El Cid: So which are the absolute-must-have releases? One of them is Taras Bulba! I have a large suite from it and its awsome. I've been planing on getting the full score but I've never got around to it. Guess I'm almost out of time now!

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	I gotta recommend the expanded release of THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. (And not just because I helped out on it.) Dan

TV's Frank Oscar® Winner	I think all of their Barry albums are must-haves, but then, I'm just a Barry nut!

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	Get The Greatest Story Ever Told, although they could have made it a 2 disc set if they really wanted to. Thats my only complaint about Ryko, their sequencing of discs.

Aaron R. Brown Oscar® Winner	I was trying to sell by Octopussy. Now I'm keeping mine! I wonder who would be interested in re-releasing the other Bond scores like A View to A Kill?

Darth Fart Oscar® Winner	Shame Ryko don't have access to the EMI Bond scores.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	Be patient Darth, those Bond releases could still be coming later this year which'll be Bond's 40th anniversary....hopefully all re-mastered and expanded, fingers crossed

MWRuger Oscar® Winner	I thought Elmer Gantry was pretty good as well as Irma La Douce. Judgment at Nuremberg is excellent and one of the few Ernest Gold scores available. Magnificent Seven and Return of the Magnificent Seven are clear must have for Bernstein fans. For lovers of the odd, I would recommend After the Fox and What's New Pussycat. A Bridge Too Far and Battle of Britain are essential for people who love British composers and good war film scores. Taras Bulba…Franz Waxman…Action Music. No other recommendation needed for Waxman fans. They did excellent digital remaster work on all of their releases and while some of the choices were a little odd, I will certainly try to lay my hands on any I don’t have. For most of these films, this was and will be the definitive release, unlike the also lamented Chapter III who basically just did some minor restoration on the original LP tapes. At least these scores have been converted digital and mastered so that the recordings will exist and not be lost like so many scores from the Golden Age. Of the companies doing this kind of work, FSM, Rhino Handmade, BYU, Prometheus and Intrada, Ryko was certainly in a good crowd and did work of that quality. So I say Bravo! to Ryko. You will be missed by this fan.

Peter Greenhill Oscar® Nominee	When I heard that the Ryko discs were going OOP a few days ago I ordered 6 that I've wanted for some time. I suspect quite a few other people are doing the same. Maybe if we'd all bought the discs that we wanted at an earlier stage, Ryko would have continued issuing soundtrack releases and they would not be deleting their soundtrack catalogue. Just a thought!.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	quote: Originally posted by JEC: 633 SQUADRON (!!) Yes, yes, and yes again. The only snippet I have of this score is a half-assed recording of the theme on the Silva Dolby Surround: War! compilation. I'd love to be able to buy the whole thing. Peter G.: Well, I have to admit I waited until the end to buy the Chapter III releases... I still have an order in for the Ryko album of The Knack..., and I hope Barnes and Noble will be able to fill it. I guess I won't be surprised if they can't find a copy. I recall reading at the label's website that the Ryko/MGMUA catalog was intended to be for a "limited time," anyhow.

Timmer Oscar® Winner	633 SQUADRON?!...oh man, pick it up quick jonathan it's great! Only Elmer Bernstein was Ron Goodwin's equal when it came to bold kick ass war themes

JEC Oscar® Winner	633 SQUADRON was released on CD along with Goodwin's score to WHERE EAGLES DARE in 1990. I've only seen this once on Ebay. Love to have one.

perfpitch Oscar® Winner	My only regret about Ryko's soundtrack series is that, on most releases, instead of giving us a proper booklet -- with pages bound together by staples -- they provided those bloody awful table-top-sized road-maps that had to be folded and unfolded. A word of advice to other record labels: DO NOT EMULATE THIS FEATURE OF RYKO RELEASES. [Message edited by perfpitch on 01-22-2002]

MWRuger Oscar® Winner	Agreed Perpicth. Those "booklets" did leave a lot to be desired. But I seldom ever bothered to unfold them after the first time through the liner notes, so they only annoyed me once.

jonathan_little Oscar® Winner	I hate the "roadmap" inserts, too. By the end of the series, they had finally smartened up. Battle of Britain has a normal booklet. At least Ryko gave us the track listings on the back without too much mutilation of the cover art on the front. Chapter III went way off with their huge, ugly banner/logo obstructing much of the LP art. We also can't forget the major mistake of hiding the track list of their "double features" inside of the booklet.

JJH Oscar® Winner	if you can get only ONE of these make sure it's The Greatest Story Ever Told. you get the original LP release, PLUS 2 CDs chock full of great orchestral music by Alfred Newman.
