INTRADA Announces:THE PICK-UP ARTIST
Composed and Conducted by GEORGES DELERUE SHERLOCK HOLMES IN NEW YORK
Composed by RICHARD RODNEY BENNETT
Conducted by LEONARD ROSENMAN INTRADA Special Collection Volume 37 In this installment of the INTRADA Special Collection, Intrada presents
two New York-based 20th Century Fox film scores. The 1987 romantic film
THE PICK-UP ARTIST features Molly Ringwald and Robert Downey, Jr.,
telling the tale of a womanizer who eventually finds the right girl and
is confronted with having to change his dastardly ways. The 1976
telefilm SHERLOCK HOLMES IN NEW YORK features none other than Roger
Moore as Holmes up against his archnemsis Moriarty (John Huston). Although Delerue wrote a concise 25-minute score for THE PICK-UP ARTIST,
most of it was deleted from the film. The score is both wistful and
hopeful, conjuring up a spirit that could have lifted the film to an
entirely different level if the score had been left intact. Director Ken
Russell once described Delerue's gift for enhancing a director's work
this way: "If you wanted to evoke a beautifully sunny day and it was
raining, Georges' music could bring the sun out. Not many people can do
that. Only God and Georges Delerue." This score is evidence of just that. In SHERLOCK HOLMES IN NEW YORK, Richard Rodney Bennett was fresh off
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS and wrote a compelling adventure score,
filled with suspense, unfulfilled romance, and excitement for what was
his first American television project. Both scores were assembled from pristine sounding stereo elements. This
release is limited to 1200 units.

Well, these two titles caught me by surprise. Looks like there hasn't been a mad scramble to get this Intrada Special Edition CD. Guess BSX won't be ordering the CD in bulk, so there's a better chance of a collector like myself to get a copy at a reasonable price, instead of having to pay the extortionate BSX prices.

Inchon was still available 15 hours after it was listed, so this one isn't quite yet safe (although I doubt this one will be gone by the end of today). In any event, the MM store here has plenty. No worries.

First Contact Records in London, had copies of INCHON last week, although they weren't listing it on their site. You had to email them. They were selling it for the normal U.K. retail price.

As far as I can remember (I saw the film five or six years ago) there was maybe five minutes of Delerue's score retained for "Pick Up Artist," so it's good they're getting the rest of it out there...it's essentially a rejected score.

I guess I was wrong. This one's essentially gone. Faster than Inchon.

In order to beat any evildoers to the punch, you can get the CD from my store, but you must first spend $500 on other merchandise... and then spend $25 for the Pick-Up CD.You can thank me later.

Oh right. Go give 'em ideas. Now they'll try to beat you. (Given their past, they probably won't have too much trouble coming up with something else though)

The newbies need something to cut their teeth on, as it only gets worse from here....
