Author	Topic: The First GOLDSMITH Score I Ever Owned...

Ed Standard Userer	STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE on lp. Still one of my all-time favorites. That old lp pressing sounded pretty good, too. TREK was also my first encounter with those strange words: "Digitally recorded, mixed, and mastered." LEGEND on Up-Art was my first Goldsmith CD. [Message edited by Ed on 07-22-2004]

Widescreen Standard Userer	That one was my first, too, as well as being the first non-children's full length LP I owned.

Swashbuckler Standard Userer	Star Trek: The Motion Picture on "Columbia Stereo Cassette" for me. Total Recall was the first CD I ever bought. He will be sorely missed.

Stefan Jania Non-Standard Userer	My first two Goldsmith-LPs I've bought 25 years ago, "Star Trek" and "Alien". And now, he is gone... But his music will live on.

Mark Olivarez Standard Userer	My dad had Patton but for me it was Star Trek TMP.

Alexborn007 Standard Userer	Star Trek: TMP for me. I recall listening to 'The Enterprise' about five times in a row the day I got it. I'd always known the music though. Star Trek: TNG was one of the first TV shows I'd ever seen and his range of film scores is nearly unrivaled. The guy just knew how to get the job done right. A true class act and embodiment of the spirit of film.

CindyLover1969 Standard Userer	Rambo III; the Scotti Bros. release on cassette. That might sound like a strange choice, but I was living in the Caribbean at the time, and there weren't many score albums available (actually I think I had to ask the record store to order it for me).

felipevasquez Non-Standard Userer	For me it was Star Trek: The Motion Picture, followed by Poltergeist.

Philipp Standard Userer	I think it was Total Recall back in 1990. I bought it while I was in Torquay,England on a class trip. Philipp np: the sum of all fears (jerry goldsmith)

Richard Street Standard Userer	THE SWARM on vinyl, and TOTAL RECALL on cassette. I can't recall the first Goldsmith CD, maybe STAR TREK 5. NP: FOREVER YOUNG (Jerry Goldsmith) [Message edited by Richard Street on 07-22-2004]

ridan Non-Standard Userer	The first Jerry Goldsmith score I ever heard, and the first Goldsmith score I ever got, is Air Force One. I saw the movie when I was 12, (Right after Star Wars,) and was hooked on Film Music.

lancer Standard Userer	I believe my 1st Goldsmith score was either star trek TMP, or Total Recall. I'm pretty sure it was star trek though.

Graham Watt Standard Userer	My first Jerry Goldsmith was THE OMEN, on LP. I got it on a trip to Glasgow, and also picked up Miklos Rozsa's THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD the same day. How clear it is in my memory. That OMEN score was a revelation - years taping his Main Titles straight from the TV, then to finally hear a full score - it was a stellar moment in my childhood.

MWRuger Standard Userer	Logan's Run on Cassette. Awesome score.

franz_conrad Standard Userer	My first Goldsmith was... Star Trek: First Contact.

Mark Hatfield Standard Userer	LOGAN'S RUN, on vinyl, for $5 from a special-order place. My brother and I used to act out the fight scene between Francis and Logan in the back yard with the record on the stereo to guide us. We had it choreographed pretty well for a couple of dumbhead kids. 24 years later, it was one of the scores - this time on CD - that I was lucky enough to have him autograqph for me at Detroit. I am sad almost beyond words.

Frank V Non-Standard Userer	I think my first Goldsmith score was Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Marian Schedenig Standard Userer	quote: Originally posted by franz_conrad: My first Goldsmith was... Star Trek: First Contact. That must have been mine as well. In the beginning, I actually didn't like Goldsmith's music at all (when I started listening to soundtracks, I disliked anything that was too different from Williams). Great Train Robbery changed that, and I slowly started to become a Goldsmith fan. I think I really started collection his scores when I got The Omen, sometime around 1998. Now I have about 70-80 CDs by him, and still enough to get - a few more prominent scores, like Chinatown, Medicine Man or The Ghost and the Darkness (which I ordered earlier this year, but it turned out to be out of print, and I'm still looking), but mostly the less well-known ones I suppose. NP: Night Crossing

FalkirkBairn Standard Userer	First Jerry Goldsmith score? Star Trek: The Motion Picture ...on LP, then CD and finally, expanded CD.

Dylan Standard Userer	Gremlins on LP and Gremlins 2 on CD (the first CD I ever bought), I just remember being a kid and thinking the music to be tremendously fun (I was in the fifth grade or so). The Mummy was probably the first CD of his that really blew me away. I don't remember the last Goldsmith CD I bought, but last week I was going to buy the two Poltergeist scores, an important gap in my CD collection, but I couldn't because I ran out of money. I'll have to get around to those soon. Dylan NP: Alien complete (I hope Varese releases this one this year...those who own the Silva are missing the greatest cue in the score (or at least one of the greatest): Waking Up)

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	Like Joan, I was back in the stone age. LOL> My first ones included: Patton and some others back then, but I noticed his music first long before that on Twi Zone-Invaders and Thriller and things like Freud, Gatheriing of EAgles and Lilies of Field, long before I had any of his Lps. And things like Rio Conchos, etc. Seven Days in May and so on. John.

piero2 Standard Userer	First was the old Project 3 PLANET OF THE APES. After that, everything he did that was available and then, what seems to be a common experience between fans, recording everything of his we could from TV that was unreleased. The very First CD I ever bought was the Master Film Music JERRY GOLDSMITH SUITES AND THEMES. (And at the time I didn't even own a CD player) God Bless you Jerry! p2 [Message edited by piero2 on 07-22-2004]

La La Land Records Standard Userer	Total Recall -- that was the first CD I bought and it was also the first Godlsmith cd I owned (However, I did own a number of cassettes by him). I've been listening to his music all day and actually cried as I listened to the finale of POWDER. What beautiful music from a beautiful man.

BMikeJ Standard Userer	I don't think I really owned any Goldsmith albums until I was 16 years old in high school and I had my first car. The first Goldsmith score I owned was STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE, on cassette. And I played the HELL out of it in my car on the way to school and back. It simply was not safe to be near my car when the Klingon Attack cue was on... Or pulling out of the garage to Leaving Dry Dock? Next came INNER SPACE. I even learned to tolerate the songs, just so I could get to the score selections. Once I got a CD changer in the car, with the money from my first job, the flood gates were open.

Hector J. Guzman Standard Userer	My first ever soundtrack I have ever bought was his score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. An absolute landmark in film scoring, the music for such film.

BigT1981 Non-Standard Userer	Mine was Star Trek The Motion Picture as well...but on CD. Then it was Star Trek V, First Contact and Insurrection. Trent Edit: As soon as I can get all my scores back on my computer (it crashed begining of the month), I'm gonna pay a contribute to Jerry Goldsmith and listen to all my Jerry Goldsmith' scores.

justin boggan Standard Userer	I think my first was either Star Trek 5, or maybe, though it may not be, the Capricorn One/ Outland re-recording CD. Funny enough, I think my first score ever was Horner's Star Trek 2.

Bryan T Standard Userer	I think my first was Star Trek V on cassette, when I was about 12 or so. My first Goldsmith CD was Medicine Man when I was 14. Incidentally, I love how after meeting Goldsmith, Sean Connery patterned his Medicine Man hairstyle after Jerry's. [Message edited by Bryan T on 07-23-2004]

fiat0299 Non-Standard Userer	My first Goldsmith score was Poltergeist on LP. First Goldsmith score on CD I ever bought was Under Fire on a Japanese Import, for which I paid a small fortune!

Nicolai P. Zwar Standard Userer	The very first Goldsmith score I "owned" was Star Trek - The Motion Picture on cassette tape, recorded from the LP of a friend. I later got the LP myself, though by then I already owned a couple of other Goldsmith scores. The first Goldsmith LP I bought was Poltergeist, and the first movie I went to see mainly because I wanted to hear Goldsmith's music was First Blood.

scoreaholic Non-Standard Userer	my first score I bought of jerry's was Total Recall or Basic Instinct. now I'm not sure. My dad had The Omen, Star Trek:TMP on vinyl, and Poltergeist. I don't like a whole lot of Goldsmith (a lot I haven't heard, though) but my favorites are LEGEND AND Total Recall. Ialso like Star Trek:tmp, First Contact, Basic Instinct, and others. His best work is better than anyone else's. I almost cried today when I found out. Ihavent been keeping up with filmscore news lately so I didn't even know he had been sick. I MISS HIM A LOT!!!

Jasom Standard Userer	My very first score and what got me started in film music was Goldsmith's Rudy. I remember coming out of the movie and thinking what a great score, and bought two seconds later. Jasom

Gae Standard Userer	Difficult to remember through the mists of time but I think mine was "The Swarm" on Lp from Woolies for about 99p. Those were the days. I was so impressed by the stirring quality of the score and couldn't wait to see the film. After catching the Film on TV it was my first experience of realising that "great music" can sometimes be written for an "awful movie". My favourite line in the film is during a scene where a Nuclear scientist is proudly explaining the impenetrable defences of the Reactor. I think its Richard Chamberlain who asks the classic line..."Ah, but in all the safety precautions you have taken, is there anything there to protect the reactor from an attack by a swarm of killer bees?" "Drat, we just didn't think of that one during the design process!" should have been the reply!! Gae

John C Winfrey Standard Userer	And don't forget Widmark's famous line in the Swarm film that was so funny "I'll go down in history as the first general to be creamed by bees." J./
