1 – 200 of 1344 Newer› Newest»Just a reminder before we continue,
three things will get your post removed.
1. Complaining
2. Being Negative or Rude
3. Your Name is Greg
If all of you can do that, we should have one swell time together.
One last thing, if you happen to see a post from Greg here, please don't respond to it.
Those will be deleted and I will take great pleasure in doing so.
I turn it over, once again, to you wonderful people who have made sharing music such great fun.
Enjoy!
@ joshy and voncheech - Due to the ongoing situation with Greg, I'd prefer we end all further Marx Brothers postings.
Thanks for understanding.

@ sallie
You’re a star!
Grateful thanks for fulfilling a whim of mine to get something of the soundtrack of Kiss Me, Stupid - coincidentally, something that chimezatmidnight also wanted.
Thank you for your time, dedication and expertise in endeavoring what I didn’t realize would be a difficult project.
You’re the best!
@ chimezatmidnight – In appreciation of your many fine shares. Music & lyrics by Cy Coleman & Dorothy Field, with Shirley MacLaine a standout. A most under-rated musical…
Soundtrack “ Sweet Charity” (1969), @224:

@ joshyr – Many thanks for the Breakfast at Tiffanys bootleg, outstanding! Was this your own rip? Do you know the source? I’m guessing it’s isolated score tracks on the DVD or laserdisc, would just wish confirmation. Thanks again!
@ isbum – LOL, yeah I remember the Secret Policeman request. It has always remained unfilled, up until now, thanks for finding his ball;)
OK, HANDS UP, IT WAS ME ;)
I wondered how long it would take someone to figure it out (well done simon31)
My post of "Carry On Abroad Again" was in fact my own compilation of various library/testcard tracks with a "Carry On" style.
It's something that I've been thinking about for a while, putting together "fake" soundtracks using fairly unknown library tracks to give the right "mood"
Hope I didn't offend anyone, I included my own home made LP cover as well just to make it a little more authentic :)
If it went down well maybe we could start a "home made" soundtrack section?
All the best
Jason
@filmpac,
Thank you so much.
The Encores! program in NYC issued a few terrific live recordings of its limited run concert revivals.
I'm gonna post two of the best this morning. Both are peak Rodgers & Hart scores with their original orchestrations (by Hans Spialek), restored by Rob Fisher who leads his great Coffee Club Orchestra. (If you listened to Garrison Keillor when he was broadcasting from Manhattan, you know his stuff.)
First is PAL JOEY with two dream leads -- Peter Gallagher (I'll say it -- of the OC) and Patti Lupone.
I'm posting a link I copied from La Leyenda De Los Compositores with the very good Nelson Riddle/Frank Sinatra Pal-Joey-All-Sorts-Of-Rodgers-&-Hart pastichey score so you can hear 'em both for yourself.

@thxjay:
Don't get me wrong Jason - the compilation was full of some excellent library music (and the sound quality was superb - the album cover looked so 'kosher' too - that I assumed someone had finally got hold of Eric Roger's session tapes at long last... :-)
The music did convey the Eric Rogers sort of atmosphere quite well. If only it HAD been Eric Roger's music....!
And you've done library music a sterling service by spotlighting some of the best examples around. A lot of this stuff was far, far better than music specifically written for film and tv!
@Everyone
Thanks for responding to the issue of how we got into soundtracks. Very interesting and for the most part we all got here the same way.
Also Classicus Modernus has a 4 disc superlative Phantom Menace that is supposedly SFX free. All interested parties check it out.

There is also talk there of a Potter Azkaban release in the future. Stay tuned.
RODGERS & HART: THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE (1997 ENCORES! REVIVAL)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3druydguocn
This is wonderful -- best recording I've heard of the score. And it's the complete score, completely restored with an appealing cast and great music direction by Rob Fisher.
Since filmpac so kindly posted the soundtrack to Fosse's Sweet Charity film today and I already posted a theater score/soundtrack comparison...
Here's the recording of the recent B'way revival starring Christina Applegate.
It doesn't sound troubled but the production was.
Applegate's Charity isn't naive or a bimbo. She's hopeful and gritty -- nearer in many ways to Giulietta Masina's original Cabiria in my ears than Gwen Verdon, Shirley Maclaine and Debbie Allen, all of whom had a lot of other qualities to recommend them -- including stage experience and huge dancing talent, particularly with Fosse choreography.
Dennis O'Hare's Oscar is very different than John McMartin's who was great onstage and in the movie: he's more tender, more different... more hopeful. Just not as hopeful in the end as Charity.
Ernie (Pumba) Sebella is a fine Oscar.
The taxi dancer friends are nowhere near as good as Chita Rivera and Paula Kelley.
What is just as good and quite different are Don Sebaskey's new arrangements for a typically smaller band than you'd hear in the mid-sixties on B'way.
There are quite a few Cy Coleman bonus tracks... including one where the amazing, venerable (she would have HATED that one) Dorothy Fields (who partnered memorably with Jerome Kern for Astaire/Rogers) sings Big Spender.

The talent level here is HIGH. And many of the songs make me remember the joy of riding the MTZ bus home from Lincoln Center more than once with Sammy Cahn who'd talk to/at ANYBODY!
@ filmpac
Thanks for access to your Previn folder. I grabbed a couple I had missed in there.

@ constantino
Thanks for that Rautavaara piece. I did not know him. Gorgeous music. Do you know his countryman, Uuno Klami?
@ simon31
Thanks, I'm a massive fan of Eric Rogers' music for the Carry On's.
I wish they would release some complete scores :( they onviously exist as the original music has been issued on the double disc compilation.
Hope people enjoyed my entry in the series (ohh missus)
Does anyone know how to play m4 files in WMP
Thanks

Since Filmpac let us get at his Previn postings, I thought I'd do the same. Here are all my previous Previn postings for those that might have missed them. They are non-soundtrack related, all being jazz recordings of Previn in various settings, small groups, solo piano, orchestra:
http://rapidshare.com/users/AJQT41
scoredaddy,
I'm so glad you know Klami.
I posted Rautavaara's first five symphonies yesterday.
I have a few "if you'd likes"... well, more than a few but a few will do for today!
Rautavaara's 6th Symphony, based on themes from his Vincent opera.
His opera Aleksis Kivi.
(Still working on the True and False Unicorns file... sigh.)
Music by Kalevi Aho.
Music by Kaija Saariaho.
Music by Erkki Melartin, a contemporary of Sibelius.
There's always more Finnish composers... but this is an kind of interesting group to chose among.
JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS (2006 OFF-BROADWAY REVIVAL)
Part One
http://www.mediafire.com/?0pmltxkjzzj
Part Two
http://www.mediafire.com/?0yec91czzeo
Lots of days I live for Brel. What's amazing about his music is that while he was one of the greatest performers of the last century, his music is just as strong in the hands (and voices and, in translation, the words) of others.
Except for, say, Terry Jacks and Rod McKuen.
The gifted Mort Shuman's passion for Brel gets served here in ways that go beyond the original English-language productions...
And, with one exception, it goes far beyond the film, too.
That exception is the sequence in which Brel himself sings Ne Me Quitte Pas. (Many people consider that segment one of the finest moments on film of anything.)
There's lots of Brel to see on YouTube including his Cervantes/Quixote from the Paris Man of La Mancha he also translated. (I used to have it. Anyone got it?)
But this... this is a marvel. And it ain't just the zeitgeist working. This is the way in which this sort of theater really excels.
Does anyone have the LP Va$res% put out a number of years ago with Copland's The Red Pony? I would dearly love to hear that.
@chimezatmidnight
I have a couple Klami. If you don't have any of his, I can post. I'll check out your Rautavaara postings. I've been a fan of Finnish music since I discovered Sibelius as a teen.
I grabbed Boys From Syracuse from your post. I've wanted that since i bought the Encores Pal Joey years ago.
Thanks.
scoredaddy,
Would you? I would love to hear something of his that isn't being played at 3 AM on the radio.
I don't have that Copland and I wish I had (is this the name?) Something Wild, also from Varese.
I am about to put the franklynot flag (which might be a coffee cup ringed napkin) on the Icelandic shore with a first post of music by the fascinating Jon Leifs.
There was a pretty good movie made about part of his life, oh, ten years back.
And another composer I will be posting here is the terrific Norwegian Tveitt... and I'm not the only one who wonders whether John Williams likes him, too. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...)

@ mel - On my recent trip I went to Oak Park near Chicago and found several record stores that still carry the vinyl.
"Val's Halla Records" and "Old School Records".
I know we had a visitor here who had recently moved into the Chicago area. If you are, let me know if you've been to these.
I could go on about Val's, but there I ran across several Phase 4 Lp's I thought might interest you Mel.
Both are by Ronnie Aldrich and His Two Pianos.
"Here Come the Hits!"
"Two Pianos in Hollywood"
If you, or anyone, is interested give me a holla and I'll rip them.

I'm afraid that I'm more than 6000 miles away from Chicago, on another continent. So "Val's Halla Records" and "Old School Records" don't mean much to me.

@ those with sleep disorders
This compilation was assembled sometime in the mid-to-late 80's.
I was having trouble sleeping (bad dreams) and had come across some wonderful record's from the ECM lable (Warners boutique I think).
The title "Travel" is meant to represent a pleasant journey I was hoping to achieve by falling asleep to this.
Around 10 years later I sold copies of this, and others done in a similar vein, to Atlas, a restaurant next to the Wiltern Theater here in L.A.
It has no track listing. Leap of faith required.

Reference Red Pony, I am talking about the original soundtrack released many years ago by VS:
THE RED PONY/DECCA DL 9616
The "official" original soundtrack was released by VS in 1986, composed AND conducted by Aaron Copland. The album was produced from the original Republic Pictures 78rpm disc masters made at the soundtrack recording sessions in 1948.

EnjoY:)
I don't remember the first time I noticed a film score in a film. I had never listened to songs a lot beyond those for children (that hasn't changed; I know embarrassingly little about rock or pop, unless a song was featured prominently in a film). I vaguely recall a musicassette that contained title themes from popular German children's TV programmes. I suppose that was the first film music I listened to, even though I didn't realize it then. I'd love to get my hands on the cassette again, because there were some melodies on there that are still in my head, but too faded to identify (my strongest memory is of a vocal arrangement of Christian Bruhn's 'Timm Thaler' theme, which unfortunately is not on the official soundtrack release).
Whatever prompted my conscious discovery of film music, the first composers I took an interest in where almost certainly John Williams ('Star Wars' and 'Jurassic Park', particularly), Hans Zimmer ('Gladiator', though nowadays I prefer his comedy scores) and James Horner ('Land Before Our Time', 'American Tail'). The mention of Horner's animation scores is no accident; I was then and am now a fan and admirer of the art form. I'm not sure what came first, collecting VHS' of Disney films or collecting their music. And when I say "collecting", I mean "downloading". Napster already existed, and once discovered by me, was used. I didn't have the money to acquire CDs and at any rate didn't have an appreciation for the listening experience a full album can give, I was too young for that. My early downloading forays therefore were limited to the hunt for main themes and Disney songs. I still have the folder I used back then, before I began structuring my collection and actually confirming composer, track name, track length etc.. Some tracks are hilariously misattributed (so John Williams wrote 'Robin Hood', and Danny Elfman was responsible for 'Blade Runner'?).
Some of the trends of these "long"-gone times have lasted: To this day I am a fan of music with "grand gestures", sweeping, bombastic themes. I can appreciate subtlety in music a lot better than when I was still, essentially, a child, but scores with strong themes are still the ones I like best. My love of (Disney) animated musicals strangely doesn't translate to their live-action counterparts, of which I tend to be very critical (I think 'The Sound of Music' is rubbish, for instance, both the music and the film itself). If it's not a matter of nostalgia (which I don't want to rule out), maybe Menken's music is just so good that I unfairly compare it to everything else? I've never seen a real stage musical live, but I've listened to some and the only one I really like is Andrew Lloyd Webber's first, 'Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat'. This blog and others have given me some new material, so maybe this trend will finally change.
As I grew older, I discovered the CD, but even then stayed largely within the confines of "modern mainstream" composers: Williams, Horner, Elfman, Doyle, Goldsmith, Howard, Zimmer, Menken. You know, the big guns who had a regular output for films of the past twenty years or so. Bernstein is the only major who's missing from this list, I think; he's someone I haven't begun to warm up to until recently. I bought albums and listened to music by other composers, too (in fact, when each member of our high school graduation class was asked to put one song on a compilation CD, I was the only one who chose an instrumental piece, a track by Henry Mancini). But it wasn't until the big time arrival of blogs like this one a year(?) ago that I discovered new composers (off the top of my head, I had never heard of Neal Hefti, Hugo Friedhofer, or André Previn) and more albums of composers I had had only a few of (Golden Age composers particularly, and modern-day ones Christopher Young and Lalo Schifrin). And now that I've learnt to appreciate them, I'm buying re-releases of their music. So don't let it be said that soundtrack sharing hurts the artists. It can help them, too.
That change in awareness may have come about anyway. I bought quite a few of the Chandos compilations without ever having heard of the composers, and due to more and more old soundtracks being re-released and review sites like movie-wave prominently covering those releases, I would surely not have been completely ignorant about names like Alfred Newman and Lalo Schifrin by this time. Still, I'm grateful.
Case in point: While writing this, I listened to Korngold's Violin Concerto. Wonderful stuff, and something I would never have checked out otherwise. So thank you greatly for this, chimezatmidnight!
amadues,

Malcolm Arnold composed the soundtracks for 132 films, including The Bridge Over The River Kwai and Inn Of The Sixth Happiness. He was as much at home on the soundstage as he was in the concert hall. His music is filled with melody and he exploited the sonic richness of the modern symphony orchestra to its fullest. Here are the premier (1992) recordings of overtures that could have been used in any number of great movies.

With me it was Maestro Morricone, probably initially via Hugo Montenegro LPs in the late '80s. Picked up a that one-CD Morricone Westerns comp. shortly afterwards, and was quite stunned at the quality of composition. In those days there were NO reissues available in my part of the world. I guess I knew that he'd done hundreds of scores, and thought "one day...".
During late '90s / early '00s some friends got reissue LPs like "Le photo prohibite..." and "Una lucertola...".
Jan. 2007: Web-searching for some EM and came across Morricone Lover blog. "Sweet", I thought, and auditioned about 10 from there, and then noticed the fineprint at the bottom of the page, "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6". From there it was all on, and since have discovered many other great Italian composers like Nicolai, Ferrio, Cipriani, Trovaioli, Piccioni, Umiliani, Ortolani, Giombini, Rustichelli, Frizzi, etc.
It's no stretch to say that without the internet and all you good people I'd likely have never known that most of this even existed so, once again, thanks! Especially to Morricone Lover; without his initiatve and management, *no-one* would've been able to get to grips with Morricone's oeuvre, which is both massive and scattered across many territories.

Thanks for your offer. As I already have 5 Ronnie Aldrich albums, I don't think I need any more but I'm glad your're posting them anyway as thxjay has expressed an interest.
And you may be interested to know that I worked for almost 7 years (from 1958 - 1964) in a specialist record store and we really cared about our customers.
@ scoredaddy
Thanks so much for your offer of the Doris Day with Andre Previn but I already have that one!
Does anyone have the soundtrack for Danny Boyle's new film Sunshine? Very cool movie!
@ drunkenmaster - Good time to remind everyone ...
"Naughty Weekend" begins Friday,

Because "Sunshine" is a new release, please post it then.
@ mel - I also ripped a record from 1957 titled "Early Erroll- Intimate Solo Ramblings by the Great Erroll Garner".
Might you be interested ?
@ chimez, I think – The requests and shares are flowing so thick and fast, and we are in a new month now. I’ve never found any Bergman films with complete scores, but I do have this neat compilation you might like…

Where did we finish up with Annie Get Your Gun? I think we are still looking for the original 1946 Broadway recording, with Ethel Merman, yes? If so, found. I’ve also found an album with Doris Day & Robert Goulet, any takers?
Request: I watched Bull Durham last night, would like the soundtrack. Somebody asked for a score earlier, and I'll second that too, if one exists.
Since I’m in a chatty mood, and since I was looking for a cover pic of something someone posted last week, and google steered me in this direction:
http://stores.ebay.ch/Svoundtrack
There are some soundtracks on here I would love to request:
“Misunderstood”, Michael Hoppe
“Hotel New Hampshire”, Jacques Offenbach
“You Light Up My Life”, Joseph Brooks
“Pele”, Sergio Mendez
And that’s just on the first page. I did manage to find some other rarities listed on those pages not posted before, which I will be pleased to bring in the coming week.

"Early Erroll- Intimate Solo Ramblings by the Great Erroll Garner" sounds very interesting indeed. I have all Garner's Savoy recordings (early stuff) but I don't know this record at all and would love to hear it.
Thanks!

Otherwise I can do it differently and re-up tomorrow.
@ mel - Okie dokie! Are you fully functioning now?
@ filmpac - I had the soundtrack to "Pele" back when it came out.
I seem to remember it had some fun tracks for the competition scenes.
Check me in as VERY Interested.
Isbum, you misconstrue, my friend. Pele was a request, in which case I assume you second that nomination;)
A couple I did find are:
"Champions", Carl Davis
"Nothing In Common", Various
"Company Of Wolves", George Fenton
"Yol", Sebastian Argol
All for another day.
@ Isbum,
Um... I dunno. I tried again with the same result, so if you get the chance, a re-up would be cool. Thanks for your help.

@h2o
Damn, that Blindman soundtrack is good.
filmpac,
Thanks and thanks and thanks!
I'm a big Adriano fan. He's pretty much been cut off by Marco Polo/Naxos... so, like Stromberg and Morgan, he's started his own label.
I've already posted some of his Georges Auric movie score recordings.
I've also got lots of his Respighi and George Templeton Strong stuff.
Kinda tempted to start a series called "It Shoulda Beena Movie!"... music that really told its stories and emotions in that way... often long before movies were born.
May start with some remarkable soundtrack-sounding scores by Sibelius... his incidental music for plays.
How did I get started? Hmm...it was probably from listening to my older brother play the LP's of Goldsmith's "Flint" scores, and the Bond LP's. In the 60's I had to settle for what he had in his collection, then in the 70's I started buying LP's with my allowance. I remember buying Enter The Dragon, The Exorcist, Herrmann's London albums,etc. I still have my original Towering Inferno album somewhere, and my ragged MGM albums of Ice Station Zebra and Westworld. But dammit I somehow lost my old copies of the gatefold LPs for Star Wars and Empire.
Right now I have just over 2000 CD's. I was keeping them all in a nice Excel sheet but got way behind in cataloging everything and need to start over I guess. I love the sharing community here but am also one of those pain in the ass "if you like , buy it" types lol. I just picked up The Bourne Ultimatum, the Telarc "Masters & Commanders" disc and the latest Tangerine Dream CD as well.
My favorite composer will always be Goldsmith. Williams a second I suppose - and the usual suspects - Bernstein, Horner (even when he steals) and so on. Golden Age scores I love Rosza & Waxman. Jazz seems to be a big hit here but I'm not that keen on jazz for the most part. Aside from film scores, my music passions go to electronic work like Tangerine Dream, and then over to 70's soul,the glorious Philadelphia sound!
@ isbum
Running tentatively and tenuously. We still have to find the source of the problem which seems to be intermittent (those are the hardest to find) so anything can happen at any moment. The best thing is that I finally managed to back up my mountain of files from January so they're safe. But I want to avoid downloading stuff as much as possible for the present.
Thanks as always for your concern.

@ the compilation fans
This requires some explanation.
In the early 80's I lost all interest in film soundtracks.
New Wave bands had captured my attention and a twenty year excursion foreward into the darker terrain of Industrial/Electronic played itself out.
I have Techno to thank for bringing me back to film music. ;)
The following tape was recorded in 1982 and represents a time-capsule of not only what I was listening to, but through the application of sound snippets of news broadcasts, video game sound effects, insane preachers and politicians, created a commentary on the era.
During this period, a good number of my friend's believed that President Regan was pushing the Soviet Union towards armageddon.
Warning: This contains early 80's music, has dialogue, and makes an effort to mock the times and Government of the USA.

I'd like to thank everyone who have been sharing Finnish music (Sibelius, Rautavaara etc.). It's nice to see that people enjoy my country's music. :)
I'd also like to thank the people responsible for sharing Korngold's music. I'm still quite a newbie as far as the Golden Age of movie scores goes, but when I first discovered Ben-Hur, The Sea Hawk, King Kong and the like years ago, I ended up loving the way the likes of Rózsa, Korngold and Steiner composed their music, so it's nice to hear more of their stuff.
I think these kind of blogs and various forums are important. Although file sharing in itself is illegal, I do approve of the way we get to hear music we otherwise wouldn't be able to hear (e.g. when CDs have been out of print for a long time). I also think that by listening to these scores we might find composers we end up liking, and thus it makes us want to buy (and listen to) their works, which will profit the companies in the long run. :)
I prefer to listen to scores first before I decide whether to buy them or not. If I don't like the music, I just delete it, but if I end up liking it, I'll be sure to put it to my "must buy" list. Unfortunately as a student I don't have much money to use, but I do try to use it to buy the scores I want whenever I have enough money to spare (most of my money's been spent on buying the expensive LotR Complete Recordings sets, but they've definitely been worth the money I've spent on them).
And about how I got interested in soundtracks (I know this should've belonged in the July discussion, but I didn't manage to post this in time before it was closed)...
My interest in film scores began when dad bought me two VHS tapes: The Land Before Time and Jurassic Park. It was a rainy evening, so I decided to watch the tapes. Not only did both of those films end up affecting me quite a bit (and still do), but they also opened my eyes to the beauty of film music. Around the same time I went to see The Lion King which I liked (and I really enjoyed listening to both the songs and the score). I also watched SW Original Trilogy which was aired on TV, which also helped me to appreciate the use of music in films.
I didn't actually buy any soundtrack until 1998 when I found the great 2 CD edition of The Empire Strikes Back. That was my favourite film from the OT so I decided to buy it. It was awesome to listen to the score without watching the film and hear all the nuances and the development of the themes, and I could actually imagine all the scenes that took place just by listening to the beautiful and thrilling score. It was a day I never forget, and it made me want to buy more soundtracks.
Film scores are truly a work of art, and I enjoy the way the themes are developed and how music itself tells the story without having to rely on the film. I guess another reason why I ended up enjoying film scores is because I listened to a lot of classical music (and played and sang that stuff too) in elementary school and in music lessons, so film scores were a natural way of expanding my view of music to a new direction.
Sorry for the long post, but I just felt like saying all of this. I wish everyone all the best, and I wish you all enjoy the music that's being shared. :)

scoredaddy,
From the Department of Synchronicity:
David Hurwitz published this review of a reissue of the Lyrita recording by Sir Edward Downes of 3 Lloyd symphonies today at classicstoday.com --
George Lloyd is an "old fashioned" composer only in the sense that his music is unashamedly based on melody, and is not predominantly miserable. The modern emphasis on being dismal is a way of trying to give music written along different, far less appealing lines an importance and seriousness of purpose that otherwise would be all but impossible to discern. Lloyd, who was raised by a bel canto-loving father and who would have preferred to spend his career writing operas along Verdian lines, wound up a symphonist by default--after being severely wounded in battle during World War II and realizing that to subject himself (and his aesthetic) to the operatic world of the 1950s would be neither physically nor emotionally healthy. At the end of his life Lloyd returned to composing large-scale vocal/choral works, but in the meantime his dozen symphonies and the associated concertos look to comprise his most lasting legacy--and an impressive one it is.
These recordings, appearing on CD for the first time, sparked interest in what hitherto had been a non-existent reputation. Lloyd later recorded this music himself, and very well too. In the Fourth Symphony, his version clearly has the advantage, with its brighter, less diffuse recording and firmer handling of rhythm (the finale is a big, long march that needs a singularly gutsy delivery). Honors are more evenly divided in the other symphonies. In the Eighth, one of his very best works in the medium, it's impossible to choose who does the finer job, with Edward Downes easily matching Lloyd himself movement for movement. I marginally prefer Downes to the composer in the gorgeously Romantic Fifth, if only for the sheer loveliness of the playing in the opening Pastoral, as well as the richness and opulence of Lyrita's engineering. These recordings ensured that the last few decades of Lloyd's life would be much happier and more successful than his middle age, and for that music lovers can only be grateful. I'm delighted that they are once again available as a supplement to the composer's own interpretations on Albany.
This one is...if you'll pardon the pun- A Winner in my book.

@ mel & breton girl – A pair of guns to slake your thirst for Annies.
Annie Get Your Gun is a musical with lyrics and music written by Irving Berlin and a book by Herbert Fields and his sister Dorothy Fields. It is said that the showstopper song, "There's No Business Like Show Business", was almost left out of the show altogether because Berlin, wrongly, got the impression that the producers, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, did not like it. The original 1946 production was a hit and had long runs in both New York and London, spawning many revivals, a 1950 film version and television versions.

@isbum -
Thanks old bean for the concern.
I'm ok...as well as can be. :)
@clint's archive: Thanks for replying (that was me, with Jekyll)! An English nursery rhyme would explain why I can't place the melody in any context. The song lyrics fit Mr Hyde; as for the music, I don't know. I have only found two 'Georgy Porgy' music files, in very different arrangements. I couldn't say whether they truly match the whistling, but it's close enough. So, thanks again!
@joshyr: Thank you for the Crocodile hunter! I'm listening to it right now. Makes me wish to see the film again. I checked on soundtrackcollector, and based on the track lengths, this is the old Varese release. Which is fine, but the track titles are those of the much longer Silva Screen release (which would also be nice to have, but is still in-print). Just thought you might want to know that.
Also, new site (new to me, anyway) musicbypeti features a better version of the Trevor Jones-composed 'Last Days of Pompeii' than I recently offered. His/her version includes the track that was missing from mine.

HAS ANYONE heard from Quinlan??
Wow, I go away for a couple of days and miss about 200 posts! :)
I got into soundtrack collecting quite by accident, originally. BAck in the late 70's after STAR WARS was released and became what it has today, I was looking through our household TV GUIDE and happenned across the old "12 albums, 8 tracks or cassette tapes for a penny" Columbia House club advert. One of the ones listed was the STAR WARS soundtrack. Now, I didn't know what a soundtrack even was, nor did the name John Williams mean a thing to a seven year old. But somehow in my child's mind I equated that getting this "cassette" must have meant "I now own STAR WARS or something." :) So I sent the ad in and eventually got the tape (and 11 others I Picked at random). I listened to it non stop, not really understanding what I was hearing (again, I was seven) but liking it just the same. Later, I became a fan of TV themes and recording them with a Panasonic tape recorder I got when I was ten... and that year I taped the entire CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS special which introduced me to jazz music and the Vince Guaraldi Trio.
A few years pass and the first single I ever bought on 45-rpm wax was "Believe It Or Not" from THE GREATEST AMERICAN HERO.
Much later in high school I was once talking to a friend about soundtracks, but by then I was into "song compilation" soundtracks like those to FOOTLOOSE, MIAMI VICE, GHOSTBUSTERS, TOP GUN, etc. He asked me if I'd ever heard ALIENS by James Horner. "Nah, I don't go for that orchestra crap," I replied. (LOL) He then made me listen to it and not long after that I was hooked, grabbing nearly everything Varese Sarabande released for a little while and becomeing whatever expert I am today. :)
First CD purchased:
LA FEMME NIKITA (Eric Serra)
Most recent listened to:

I think like many others my first real revelation was Star Wars, I know its corny to say but its true.
I remember shortly after hearing some classical music on a TV concert and thinking "that sounds like the music in Star Wars".
It was probably Mussorgsky or some other dramatic Russian composer.
This was when I was around 7-8 years old (I'm 36 now)and ever since I can remember I've always collected TV Themes, then later on Movie Scores (don't even mention music "inspired by" soundtracks to me!!
I think the reason I got into collecting TV Themes was probably because back then VCR's were very very rare and very expensive so the only way to experience my favourite programmes again was to listen to the music, I even used to record the themes off the telly onto tapes (those were the days:)
Here in the UK many years ago (up until the 80's) BBC2 didn't start transmission until midday, or they were school education programmes, I don't really remember but the point is they used to show the testcard and sad as it may sound I used to watch it! The reason was it was accompanied by some fantastic music, which now, many years later is strting to be appreciated (and available to the public)
I also used to love collecting LP's of TV Themes by all the easy-listening bandleaders of the time (70's), my face still lights up when I come across a Geoff Love LP.
Sadly when the CD was introduced here in 1983, I fell for the hype and sold all my LP's, about 1200:( although a lot of them were "filler" I did have loads of albums I'll never get again, although thanks to music blogsI've managed to get some back.
We need more posts of albums by:
GEOFF LOVE
NORRIE PARAMOR
JACK PARNELL
PERCY FAITH (seems popular)
TONY OSBORNE....
well the list goes on and on.
Sorry to rabbit on but that's my story and to be honest my tastes haven't really changed since school, I'm still listening to Geoff Love and Star Wars :)
P.S. I also got into easy-lounge in a big way in the early 90's, I always liked that type of stuff but never knew where to start looking, again now thanks to blogs I've managed to get some great stuff by the Easy-Lounge-Exotica artists like Martin Denny, Esquivel,Les Baxter etc etc.
Maybe we could get some "Easy" posts going here as well, I know quinlan posts stuff over at Xtabay's.
Thanks all
Jason

the last track of summertime killer (a very long suite) is included in the "servizio" file due to the 100mb limit.
@ bacalov
Many thanks my friend, I'm looking forward to hearing these!
Thank you to whoever posted Laure by Micalizzi, what a beautiful treat!
Ennioman
@THXJAY:
Couldn't agree more with your comments. I can't understand why the Geoff Love theme albums which he did for EMI/MFP haven't been re-issued on CD (apart from the STAR WARS/CLOSE ENCOUNTERS two-fer, and I think some of his War Themes....
What a great idea for a box-set!
The Jack Parnell Orchestra was another great band. Also its about time the theme compilations that John Gregory (aka Chaquito) did made their way onto CD. (We've got some good stuff on his 'Six Million Dollar Theme' CD compilation - now how about the rest?)
@Simon 31
Geoff Love on CD, I'm with you all the way, and I'm currently trying to convince a label who I'm lucky enough to talk to, to actually follow up and turn this into reality..
Ennioman
PS I have a Fielding double uploading ;-) Good this aint it!
Hi Everyone---

Have a great 'naughty' weekend!
Rocket
Re-post. The one that's not naughty, because out-of-print:
"
The Gunning, of course, is a shameful ploy to incite interest in the composer ;-):
Gunning: Poirot
"
@ chimezatmidnight - Sure!
If you can dig it up. ;)
@ rocket from mars - He shOOtS!
SCOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooorrrrre!
I just love it when you come in and drop somethin' great on us!
Thanks MUCHO for PELE!
Dug the Repo/Walker Cox combo too my buddy! Rocket on man!
isbum o pal to all,
Gonna look for it now...
Some of us are not too bright and let our music folders label themselves semi-bizarrely like a series of infinite small strokes.
In retrospect, my Pele remark should have been goal instead of score. :( Whaddaya gonna do?
Kick ME! Haaahhaaaahaa!
Chimez the Charmer - love your informative and humorous postings.
isbum,
Well, that's because this place you founded has the people, the energy and the sheer freakin' joy celebrating what we love requires.
Anyone have Mancini's "Return of the Pink Panther"?? I believe the stand-alone release had 13 tracks. Thanks in advance!
@ filmscore - Seems I chased your tail over here from S.L.Paradise!

Hi People!
Computer is still down, but I thought that I might share my thoughts with you.
Born in the mid-'50's, I grew up watching a lot of old movies on T.V.. It was a natural thing to do. I grew to love and listen for the music in all of them. In time, I grew to love Konrngold, Steiner, Waxman, Newman, et al.
The '60's...New names, and different styles, Goldsmith, Bernstein, Herrman, and this fella Johnny Williams.
I probably have roughly 2000+ albums, CDs, cassettes in my film music collection.
This stuff is terrific, and I still listen to it today, plus the classical that I have. My daughter has been getting me into anime as well.
I cannot thank ALL of you nice people enough! All of you are terriffic! Thanks Again! XD!
Honored General
I don't remember...is there anyone who posted a link for Pitchblack 2cds? If not, anyone?
Thanks.
@ honored general - Thanks for dropping by. I look foreward to seeing your return to full command.
@ tony - It's Matt Damon's weekend!
The new Bourne ROCKS!
watson,
Thank you!
@ watson
Oops, sorry! Didn't see that you had posted HOB as well.
@charade: I have a 2CD version (25 and 15 tracks) of 'Pitch Black' that I could upload.
I could also offer something else, if I knew what it was. It's in an untitled archive I downloaded 11 months ago, with unfortunately untitled tracks. There are 33, the first of which introduces a distinctive theme. It sounds like something Graeme Revell or Trevor Rabin would compose, I guess.
Hi Hornconcerto. It seems that your version (25+15) is exactly what I am looking for! I saw the cover at Plissken.free.fr
(not to kill, I guess? they're not in print, anyway)
@charade: Here you are then, Graeme Revell's Pitch Black.
And since I already uploaded this for a friend, I might as well post it here. 25 years ago, Bavarian television started producing what I consider the best TV children's series of all time, German or otherwise. It's about a mischievous but ultimately benevolent goblin and the crotchety old carpenter that he shares house and home with. The series was preceded by a number of radio plays with largely the same cast, except for the actor who voiced the carpenter. Some of these early plays were released on cassette and LP, but are long out-of-print. Contained in the archive are the only four that I have ever found digitized.
(In case this needs to be said, they *are* in German throughout, so I guess they have limited appeal for most here. Still, maybe a few of the German-speaking contributors get a kick out of it.)
@isbum --
You know who loves you :)
@ filmpac,
Many thanks bud, yeah I got all my real life stuff done today, so I have all day and night tomorrow (Sunday), in the meantime, have a Schifrin coming up that I hope is new to you. :-)
Ennioman
PS I think 3410 asked about some digi*movies releases?
Did you have any titles in mind my friend?
Scoredaddy's Neil Diamond posting reminded me about a guilty pleasure. The book by Richard Bach was overripe tripe (but sold millions of copies--which mine don't) and the movie was sort of a dud (and lots of them are). But the music is one of my favorites (320 kps):

Thanks to everyone for the fantastic postings on this naughty weekend. Like all weekends, it should never end.
This is the fourth blog I've posted this at and I'm hoping someone will see it and be able to respond to my request.
It's very simple...
I need the soundtrack for ANIMALYMPICS by Graham Gouldman's 10CC.
I paid money for it on a Russian MP3 site and got screwed. Not Boris and Natasha have my credit card number, my email address, and God Knows what-the-hell else I gave them to register. It's only 10 tracks and they have been the hardest thing to find since Hoffa...the body not the soundtrack. If anyone has any idea where they can locate a decent rip of this soundtrack, please,please,please give me a clue. Someone out there has to have it...anyone?
If you don't feel comfortable with posting info here, please email me at MOVIEGAL1115@AOL.COM
Isbum has helped me before and I will forever be grateful to him for the Blue Thunder...
This is another self-absorbed obsession, I'm seeking counseling for it :(
@ moviegal - I've got Animalympics somewhere, but let's get naughty weekend out of the way first, then I'll send it special delivery for you! Via "watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" post;)
Hmmmmmoviegal .. why didn't you write me?
@ chimezatmidnight
My good friend, thanks muchly for the Shostakovich.
Please e-mail me after this busy weekend is over and you may learn something to your advantage:
mel468@gmail.com
@ chimez - As a big fan of Sir Malcolm Arnold (and seeing as how I have posted many a Malcolm complete score here), is there any chance of a Volume 1?
Looking forward to hearing what you have shared already, in particular Belles Of St Trinians. Would LOVE to see the Trinians films at least get a compilation of their own.
@filmpac: I have volume 1 on my computer. My own rip @160; a higher bitrate is possible, but would have to wait until next weekend.
Many thanks Hornconcerto, I will download it today. Previously, I knew only the version on the supertracks CD coupled with the bride of chucky!
Morning All!
@filmpac thanks for filling my Frank Cordell request, very much appreciated.
Going to have some nice euro stuff on the menu this morning for breakfast!
Ennioman
@ enniomyman- Good morning bright eyes!
Nearly time for lights out here.
Been dropping some euro's here while you were sleeping. Check back so we don't double dose 3410.
Have fun and I'll see what you did in the morning.
@ eenio- It's excellent! One of my fave's by Gianni Ferrio.

Thank you for Vaughan Williams -Antarctic
@Isbum, you still up my man! Lordy lordy!
Hey don't laugh, as a collector of Eastwood for over 30 years I actually do have a copy of GBU on '8TRACK'
Now if that don't send you to bed weeping I don't know what will, sleep well bud!

@Ennioman,
re: Uccidete Il Vitello Grasso E Arrostitelo,
Yes, please. (Did you know that one track from this edition - Shake Introspettivo - was omitted from the expanded version, on the Maestro's request?).
Thank you so much for the others. I am even further in your debt!
@ Isbum,
You're a gent! Mucho gracias.
I feel like a very lucky boy today, and somewhat embarrassed by the attention my requests have received. You guys are the best.
@ 3410
Hi Bud, yes I was aware that the track listing doesn't quite make sense, but wasn't aware of the reason, strange on Ennio's part?
I'm just uploading one of the other DM releases I mentioned, then will slip your next request up the tube..
Glad to of been of help.
Ennioman
@ Maimone Digital
Thank you for the kind offer friend, just speaking for myself I am sorted on both Vol. 1 and 2, this 3rd volume has put me bang up to date! :-)

Hey guys,
I finished my DVD Audio Rip of "Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes".
You can find it in my blog; there >> http://soundtrack-area.blogspot.com/2007/08/amityville-iv-evil-escapes-1989-rick.html
Enjoy ! :-)
I am currently working on an "Amityville 5 rip", and I ripped "Amityville 2" many weeks ago, if anyone is interested.
@ chimezatmidnight
Yeah sounds great bud, I have Vol.3 if you want it ripped a little later?
Ennioman
@ Chimez
I'm really sorry my friend, I just went to get my CD and realised I got it totally wrong, I was thinking of the film Music of Vaughan Williams VOL.3 in the Chandos series of CD's.
I don't know if you are familiar with this CD containing music from
The Flemish Farm
The Loves of Joanna Godden
and Bitter Springs
Let me know if interested, don't worry if not, I have still plenty here to do..
Ennioman
@ Chimez
Sure The Wasps sounds great to me!
Tell me, has Vol.1 and 2 of Vaughan Williams film music ever been posted here?
I only have Vol. 3 on CD and the SOTA score posted here earlier (which BTW I'm having a great deal of trouble finding a cover image for!) :-(
Ennioman
Well there you go! Back tracking now to locate it.
Sadly I do not have Vol. 2
Ennioman
@chimezatmidnight
I have Lyra Angelica. Would you like me to upload it for you. I wish to contribute to you for your excellent Chandos uploads!
@ Chimez
You did say VOL 1 of VAUGHN WILLIAMS was posted yesterday right?
I'm wondering if I'm spending too long in front of this screen this weekend?!?!?!?
Ennioman
ennioman,
A screen?
You've got a SCREEN?!??!
I just see these posts wherever I go.
Does anyone have L'Isola Degli Uomini Pesce aka (Screamers) by Luciano Michelini?
Thanks
Ooooh Chimezy, and there's me thinking I had it bad!
I still can't find it!! (LOL)
@ John
Yes I have that for you, I'll do it after Vaughan Williams Vol. 3
(PS if anyone spots Vol.1 please repost the link down here) ;-)
Cheers
Ennioman
