tjguitar Standard Userer	quote: 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.

shado1999 Non-Standard Userer	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.

PeterK FishChip	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.

They were selling it for the normal U.K. retail price.

Dylan Standard Userer	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.

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

PeterK FishChip	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.

joan hue Standard Userer	Thank you, Peter, for giving me such a grand laugh-out-loud seizure. Hope the newbies to this board don't take you seriously. NP Nannie McPhee [Message edited by joan hue on 10-11-2006]

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)

PeterK FishChip	Ok, so my offer is a little underwhelming. Let's see... the first one to buy my entire company will be given an opportunity to purchase the Pick-Up Artist... ...for an additional $25. Joan The newbies need something to cut their teeth on, as it only gets worse from here....
