By Request - Carrie - The Musical (Bootleg,Misc.Tracks)
After my earlier post, 'Greg' requested this, so here it is!I got these tracks a very long time ago on p2p. They were more-or-less miscellaneous unordered tracks from multiple sources that I vaguely remember putting in this order to reflect the sequence in the production (which if I also remember right was no easy trick). Some are from the Workshop and some are from the Original Broadway production (OBC - original broadway cast) (and there may be other tracks that come from other sources, as far as I know). Consider this the Frankenstein's monster of cast recordings. They are mostly (if not all) live audio and generally poor audio quality for those who care about such things (well, really, what do you expect from live audio? Ella Fitzgerald smashing a glass with her voice?).
I put them in this order a long long time ago and some of the ordering may be wrong, but that's the great thing about digital files - it doesn't really take a bulldozer to move them around. The tracks denoted with a's & b's are duplicate tracks that I included in the same order as they would normally appear. I've also indicated the different bitrates (Kbps) for the different files and left the tags in mostly the same way that I found them so that if you want to extract the different sources, you can. In other words, you can tell which files go with which versions (and if you can, you're a better man than I, Gunga Din).
Carrie - The Musical opened on Broadway in 1988 and became one of the biggest flops in Broadway history up to that point. It lost millions of dollars and became a punchline for a long time after in the same way that, say, 'Ishtar' became a film punchline. As you can tell from the music (and from various accounts), it had moments of brilliance and real moments of incredible cheese.
The material between the mother and the daughter is some of the best and most interesting work (as is probably true of the film too) and is pop operatic in nature. It's juxtaposed with more pop-oriented musical numbers of leather-clad teenagers in discos, towel-clad girls in shower rooms, and possibly the only musical number I can think of that involves slaughtering pigs at a pig farm while dressed in leather. No, I take that back; I think there was one in 'The Sound of Music' too, but I'm not sure.
There was a workshop production in 1984 with Maureen McGovern and an out-of-town production in 1988 (well, out-of-town in the sense that it was in England as a co-production with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon, and Shakespeare couldn't be more proud!) with Barbara Cook, each respectively playing Carrie's mother.
The music was by Michael Gore & Dean Pitchford, the same men associated with such projects as 'Fame' & 'Footloose' and the book of the musical was by Lawrence D. Cohen, the same man who wrote the film's script. The Broadway production starred Betty Buckley as Mrs. White and Linzi Hateley as Carrie. I guess I don't really need to mention that Betty Buckley also played the gym teacher in the film (since if you were interested in this recording at all, you would probably already know a lot about the film anyway). And if I remember right, music icon (and Lethal Weapon wife) Darlene Love takes over the role of the gym teacher in the Broadway production. If they make a film version of the musical, I fully expect Darlene Love to play Mrs. White and Ronnie Spector to play the gym teacher. And if they do a musical revival of THAT film, I expect Ronnie Spector to play Mrs. White and Britney Spears to play the gym teacher.
And if I also remember right, Gene Anthony Ray, whom you may remember from the film and TV show, 'Fame' plays one of the teenagers. I'm guessing this isn't a coincidence since Gore & Pitchford did the music and Debbie Allen did the choreography.
I can't be absolutely sure with some of this live audio, but I put the most probable performers in the tag comments. (It's pretty easy to tell Betty Buckley & Darlene Love, for instance, but where I couldn't be absolutely sure, I just put down the likely performers in the tag comments) And I've also included in the file a couple of web pages for reference purposes that include a synopsis of the play (these are pretty old web pages, by the way, so I don't know if that site still exists).
Well, I think you'll get a lot of enjoyment listening to this if you can picture Betty Buckley dying on a giant white staircase like something out of 'An American in Paris' or her singing the number, 'When There's No One' in a low-cut negligee.
Or you can chant, 'Kill the Pig' along with all the hip kids at the pig farm in the song, 'Out For Blood' (well they have to get their prom gifts somewhere, don't they?). Or you can voyeuristically (or the ear equivalent of that) listen to teenagers trying to make out in their cars in the number, 'Don't Waste The Moon' (if you don't mind it ending kind of abruptly........music interruptus?).
Well, maybe you'll enjoy the thought of a musical number with high school girls in towels and underwear in a school shower room (and isn't that the way that most women take showers?) taunting a girl who's just discovered her monthly friend. (But now that I think about it, if you enjoy picturing high school girls in towels and underwear, you're probably surfing entirely different websites besides this one......and I'm also reporting you to the authorities as I type this.).
And I can't help it, but the opening of the 'Apologies Scene' makes me want to watch Dr. Who for some reason. (I'm picturing Carrie stepping out of a Tardis right now.)
Or you can picture Carrie making objects fly and dance around her room while she sings 'I'm Not Alone'. Well, if you're gonna kill a bunch of people later on, you really need a lighter Mary Poppins-type moment, don't you?
And just imagine all the laser beams shooting out of Carrie at the prom while people get trapped in the stage equivalent of a giant shower curtain during the 'Destruction' number.
It's also interesting to hear the makers discuss the project in the Workshop introduction and to hear the curtain call at the end with such now-famous (but less well-known, back then) stage names as Donna Murphy & Liz Callaway being mentioned. I've also included a cut number from the Workshop, 'Tommy's Poem' in the folder as well.
Well, despite the way I made it sound there are actually some nice musical numbers in here (like 'Evening Prayers', 'Carrie', and some of the other ones I've already mentioned) and Betty Buckley in particular stands out, so enjoy listening to a musical version of Stephen King's simple story of a girl and her mother!
P.S. And remember to treat all the telekinetic girls (with overly religious mothers) that you happen to meet along the way with care and kindness! I think that's a good rule-of-thumb to follow whether you're going to the prom or not.
Enjoy!

P.P.S. And if anybody has a complete or consistent version of any of these bootlegs, I'd love to hear them!
College Confidential (1960) (Dean Elliott)
Here is the jazzy soundtrack to the 1960 Steve Allen / Mamie Van Doren / Rocky Marciano film about the sexual mores of college students. Who would think that in a sentence like that the word, 'jazzy' would be the thing that would jump out at you? And it is jazzy too! I think you'll like it.I have no idea why I decided to post this, but I think it falls under the category of 'I just felt like it'. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what it is.
Steve Allen didn't make many movies, but I always enjoyed his television work. And talk about a prolific composer and author. Only death stopped him from producing so much creative work. And I suspect that even that didn't stop him; I expect him to publish something new any day now.
Enjoy!
P.S. I forget where I got this album from, but I think it might be originally from the Basic Hip site since I remember them featuring it at some point or I might've gotten it from somebody who got it from there. Either way, thanks to the original source!

Shipwrecked (1991) (Patrick Doyle)
Here's another one of those old scores that I always think of as being in that category of Holy Grail scores because it was at one time hard-to-get. But as is the case with just about all of those ones, I don't think they're that hard-to-get anymore. Well, case in point, if I could get it, it can't be that hard.
It makes me think of the blog in general. Every once in a while, I get a comment here or a description made by other blogs about something I post as being rare or obscure, but I never think of anything I post as being either of those things. I think of just about everything I post as being pretty mainstream. It probably only seems rare because nobody else wants it. Well, if you notice, I never describe any of the music here as rare, obscure, or other synonyms that imply that Sherpas have to bring it down from a Tibetan monastery. And it always surprises me when other people describe the blog that way.
But then again, it surprises me sometimes when I see other blogs describe themselves that way. Especially when I see stuff they're posting that's already in my collection. I keep thinking, 'How can it be as rare as you're saying when I already have it?'
Though I've seen some where that really applies. There are a few blogs that are sharing some incredible material that seems pretty obscure. But I would never think of this blog in those terms. Maybe unusual, but never rare or obscure. Really, if I can get it, it can't be too rare.
Again, what does that have to do with Shipwrecked? Well, really not much.
Patrick Doyle is another favorite composer of mine (was that a smooth transition or what?), though I remember being slightly disappointed by this score. Maybe it's a faulty memory, but that's my general impression. Well, you decide since I haven't listened to it in a long time. Maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, I don't think Patrick Doyle can go too far wrong.
You may be asking yourself right about now, 'Then why are you posting it?' Actually, you wouldn't be asking yourself that since you're not the one posting it, but you know what I mean. Well, I guess it's because it's in that small group of soundtracks that we used to drool over in auctions, etc., so it still gets me excited when I see certain soundtracks being posted. It's probably some kind of Pavlovian thing.
Well, in any case, this is the score to the Gabriel Byrne 'swashbuckler' for kids. Is it fair to describe it that way? I don't know. I just did, so that must count for something.
Enjoy!

The Satan Bug (1965) (Jerry G*ld$mith) [Bootleg]
Now this one was requested by 'Anonymous'. It's a 21 track bootleg with traditionally clever track titles like, 'Track 01' and is 48 minutes long. Actually, I think I may have accidentally tagged all the track titles as 'Track 01', but it shouldn't be hard for you to change. (Sorry, about that!)Well, there are lots of great tag editors out there. I use eMusic Tag Editor v.1.50 which is pretty good. I've tried various tag editors in the past such as MP3 Book Helper (still use that in certain situations), Fast MIS, MP3 Tag Studio, MP3 Tag, etc., but I've never found one as good as eMusic Tag Editor for general ease of use and features.
What does that have to do with The Satan Bug? Well, since it's in this post, it must have something to do with it.
In any case, the movie is an 'action' movie about a stolen virus starring George Maharis & Richard Basehart, but the music is really less action and more suspense, I think. Since it's a bootleg, it has sound effects, but no dialogue that I remember.
And it's really hard to go wrong with Jerry G*ld$mith!
Enjoy!

Seconds (1966) (Jerry G*ld$mith) [Bootleg]
After that last post, it put me in the mood to post this for some reason. That and the fact that 'Anonymous' (isn't it always?) was requesting various G*ld$mith scores. This wasn't one of them, but I've been meaning to post this for some time now. I probably should've saved these posts for Halloween, now that I think about it, but that's too far off.This recording includes dialogue and sound effects and if you've seen the movie, is fun to listen to. I can't remember if there are a lot of spoilers in the recording if you haven't seen the movie, but you might want to see the movie anyway.
The music is partly neo-classical, but not quite (if my faulty brain is working right) and really good (that much I'm sure of). The movie was directed by John Frankenheimer (who directed such movies as The Manchurian Candidate, The Train, Birdman of Alcatraz, and Black Sunday, among many others) and is the contemporary story of a man who strikes (or is really forced to strike) a Faustian bargain.
I don't remember the movie being a big hit box office-wise, but it's chilling in an oppressive and sterile sort of way. Wait, that didn't sound too good. Well, I liked the film, but there is something a little unsatisfying about it. Maybe it's the unrelenting bleakness. Still, very compelling though in some ways. Sort of reminds me of The Manchurian Candidate if it were, say, a drinking glass, but only filled two-thirds of the way up.
And for those who have never seen the film, you won't ever forget the ending. Come to think of it, you should probably see the film before listening to this recording because I think it gives away the ending.
.....Okay, I just checked and I guess it doesn't actually give away the ending, so it's probably safe.
And it's always amazing to me how G*ld$mith was able to come up with one great score after another with such variety. Maybe he made a Faustian bargain? 'I'll sell you my soul if you give me great musical talent, award nominations, and a ponytail.'

Lord Of The Flies (1963) (Raymond Leppard) [DVD Rip]
Here's 8 minutes of music from the 1963 vacation movie about a bunch of madcap boys on an island having fun. (And 'lord of the flies' is a nickname for the devil, isn't it?) It's a DVD rip (not mine, by the way, so thanks to the original ripper (or is that Jack The Ripper?)), so you can expect sound effects, singing, and oddly enough, music.Come to think of it, this was requested by 'Anonymous', so that's another reason why I'm posting it. The other reason is that it's nice music. There may be a legitimate release to the score and if anybody has it, I'd love to hear it!
Well, in either case, enjoy!

The Mummy (1999) (Jerry G*ld$mith) [Extended 50 Track Version]
Quite some time ago (so long, in fact, that all concerned have probably forgotten), when 'Whiteorc' (I wonder where he ever got to, by the way?) had posted another version of The Mummy (the 41 Track version), 'Breton Girl' mentioned that she was curious to have other alternate versions posted as well. In fact, her exact quote was, 'By the way, i know there's 3 others bootleg floating around: one with 50 tracks, one with 38, and the last (?) one with 29 tracks... If anyone got one of these versions, please share...'. So, I thought I'd post this. I'm guessing at some point she already got them, but for anyone else, I thought I'd go ahead and post it.And even much further back in the mists of time, she and JazzHollister had originally requested the expanded version to The Mummy on his late and very lamented JazzNotes blog (and on other blogs as well). This was in fact the original request that had started his whole G*ld$mith post. Back then, I had seen 'Breton Girl' requesting this in various locations and really wanted to help her out, but I thought I didn't have it. Eventually, JazzHollister posted the 38 Track version on his blog and managed to fulfill his own request.
Then, some time after that, I was searching for something on my hard drive and up popped this 50 track version that I had totally forgot I had! It was tucked away in a different section of my drive under things I wanted to check on for more info. I wanted to check the track titles, etc. and oddly enough, it had 2 track #14's on Disc 2, I think, so that's why I shuttled it off to a different part of my hard drive along with a bunch of other stuff to check on later (and I still haven't gotten around to checking out that other stuff, by the way!).
Well, when I found it, I felt bad that here all this time 'Breton Girl' and then later JazzHollister had been asking for it in a bunch of different places and here I had it all the time! Well, at the time JazzHollister posted his version, I thought it was the same as mine, so I didn't give it another thought (though I have to say I still felt bad that their request had gone unfulfilled for so long!). But much, much later (see, isn't all this time travel fun?), when I was finally going through his version, I compared it to mine to see if it was identical and whether I should keep it or not when I realized it actually was different! My copy had all these extra tracks! (Well, really just 12, if my math is right.) Pretty weird. I had just assumed it was the same when I had originally downloaded his copy which is why I didn't really take a long look at it.
Well, I never had another version of one of those Mummy bootlegs to compare my copy to (and I never could find a track listing anywhere else which is why it was still sitting on my hard drive and why I never processed it before), so I finally went through it and checked the track titles, etc. I realized that weird double track #14 was just from somebody accidentally putting another copy of track #14 from Disc 1 in Disc 2's folder, so one mystery was solved. And when I compared the tracks on the 2 different versions, they appeared to be the same up until the extra tracks.
This 50 track version seems to have all the same tracks as the 38 track version, but with the additional tracks of 2-08 through 2-19 on Disc 2. These are just additional source cues, album versions, & film edits, for all us anal retentive types. If you already have any of the other bootlegs, I can't really imagine you wanting to download this unless you have to have every ounce of Jerry's music (and even then), but I figure there must be other crazy people like me who like to have lots of different versions of things. So here it is.
And on the very remote chance that 'Breton Girl' still hasn't gotten this version somewhere, I apologize for taking this long to post it, but I figured after you got the 38 and 41 track versions, you probably weren't in a big hurry to listen to the album version of 'The Sand Volcano' or that extra special and ultra-rare 'Universal Logo' theme.
Well, I still feel bad that I didn't post this back when they were originally asking for it (especially since I know 'Breton Girl' was really looking for it back then). Well, what can you do? (I guess I'll go back to finding more stuff that nobody wants anymore.........)
Enjoy!
P.S. Jerry G*ld$mith is a famous composer, The Mummy is a Brendan Fraser movie, this blog posts music, etc., etc., etc. I forgot to add all that stuff to the post.
Update: 'Anonymous' helpfully pointed out that Disc 2, Track #7 - Finale & End Credits did not seem to be complete. I have to agree. It certainly seems to be too short to be end credits (under a minute) and doesn't even sound like a finale. I didn't notice it when I first listened to it. 'Anonymous' pointed out that the real track should be about ten minutes long. So, I don't know what piece of music this is. Sorry about that, but it appears to be the same way on the 38 track version as well. Well, maybe some kind person out there has it?

Computers Are Fun!
I was typing in responses to some comments when the computer crashed and frankly I've lost the will to do much of anything on the computer right now. Well, that hasn't happened on these computers in quite a while so I think it lulled me into a false sense of security. I also really enjoyed losing the 3 GB or so worth of files that I had just downloaded. That was really fun.Not to mention the notes I had made on which ones had been downloaded and which ones hadn't and the notes I had made about requests and inquiries people had made in various comments. That's always fun too.
Well, I had a few things that were already zipped, uploaded, etc., but I haven't gotten around to writing the posts to go along with them. I've been trying to catch up on downloading & other blog maintenance lately, so I've let the posts slide a bit, but when I get a little bit more caught up, I'll post something new (besides this filler you're reading right now!).
Frankly, I'm a bit discouraged whenever those crashes occur. Too much multi-tasking online, I fear. I thought I was being careful, but if you sneeze the wrong way, these library computers lock up or refuse to acknowledge the existence of the CD burner, or some such nonsense. And already today, Blogger.com, R-Share, and others have been acting pretty screwy as well. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes not at all. I feel like Goldilocks (if I were imaginary, a little girl, and liked to hang around forest mammals). And as I type, I'm re-loading various files onto this computer's hard drive from the CD-RW and it claims it will take 23 minutes to transfer a disc's worth of files. Just another fun quirk of this particular computer's CD-RW. It's like Russian Roulette. Each computer here has its own idiosyncrasies (some of which make me want to place-kick them into next week).
And imagine if every session you had at a computer, you had to reinstall all the software you wanted to use and re-set all the parameters, re-enter all the passwords, and adjust all the settings each time. And if you were to walk away for, say, longer than 10 minutes, the computer would re-boot and wipe everything out. And when the computer freezes up, you get the fun of doing all that re-setting at least twice in one session. That's even more fun! Well, you can probably see why I don't come in as often as I probably should.
It occasionally strikes me (especially when I haven't posted anything new in a while) that I was perhaps a little irresponsible to start a blog when I knew I couldn't maintain it properly, but the urge was too strong. It seems like it goes against the very definition of a blog (something that started out for people as a daily diary, of sorts, in the form of a web log) if you don't post something daily or every other day, but so be it. And when you have to start from scratch with the downloading, etc., it really discourages you even further, but what can I say? Kind of stupid, I know, to keep blogging, but I guess as long as people don't mind there not being anything new, I suppose I don't mind either.
Well, since I had posted a bunch of things in the last few weeks, I thought I'd concentrate on trying to catch up on my delinquent downloading, some random re-ups, and organizing the stuff I've already downloaded. In fact, I spent part of this week burning multiple DVD's worth of stuff I downloaded last weekend. I have to off-load almost everything I download onto DVD's because my hard drive at home usually runs out of space. Both partitioned drives of a 180 GB hard disk usually have less than 10 GB left at any one time (although a lot of time it hovers around 5 GB for each partition) which is dangerously low. I've already damaged my operating system, I suspect, from one of those times when it went down to 2 or 3 GB. I think it over-wrote some of the DOS files.
As a consequence, I'm not able to use things like MP3Gain to do normalization since it uses DOS to function. And I'm not usually able to keep a lot of things I download on the hard drive to listen to immediately. I don't have a portable mp3 player, so I only listen to these things while the computer is on. As it is, I must have about 20 or 30 GB worth of recent material just from this blog alone that I kept on my hard drive just so I could listen to it. I usually process the files I get (tag, double-check against track lists and timings, proofread, etc.) after I listen to them, so it gets off the hard drive at a lot slower rate than it comes on, needless to say. Well, I go through periods where I try to catch up on everything, but when you stop one, you've got about a thousand other things to catch up on. Right now, it's downloading. The next thing will probably be to work on writing up some of these posts, working on some compilations, or ripping some new material. It all takes time (and energy!). Again, you'll have to pardon me for not posting anything new in a while.
And you'll have to excuse another long post, but this time I think I was just avoiding having to reconstruct all the stuff I just lost. It's always fun re-doing stuff you've just done. Well, I guess I should climb back in that time machine and start the re-doing.............................
Enjoy (well, really you can enjoy the silence, I guess)!
P.S. More fun with Blogger.com. Now it's doing something it didn't do before. Since I've got to type in word verification for every post-editing (a boring story I've mentioned before on the blog), any time you don't publish immediately, it makes you re-type in the word verification. Now, this is okay, but now they have it give me this stupid error message and re-routes me to a different page when that happens. It used to just tell me to type it in again, but now I've got to keep re-loading the page before it'll work. If you wanted to use Blogger. com and the word 'sucks' in the same sentence, I wouldn't stop you.
P.P.S. Geez, it did it again after I typed in that last postscript!

A Special Thanks To Special Readers Who Have Left Comments (Especially Vince & First Moon)!
I didn't get a chance to before, but I just wanted to say how grateful I am to all of you who have commented on the posts lately!This was going to be a special tribute to a very great friend to this blog, 'Vince', but after reading some of the other comments here, I thought I'd make it to everybody! But let me single out a few people:
I used to like to go over the old posts and check the comments periodically (as well as checking on the posts), but lately (well, in the past several months really) I've gotten very behind. Last week, I finally got a little more caught up and read and responded to most of the older comments (except for the ones with longer answers......I expect to respond to those some time in 2014).
In going back over the older comments, I was stunned and gratified to find that 'Vince' had left such great comments. I felt bad that it took me so long to read them (but if you look back over the old posts, you'll find my responses, Vince!). Especially since Vince did what few other people have ever done on the blog. Many people (well, at least I like to think it's many......okay, so I'm delusional) go back into the archives and download material, and a few very nice people leave comments on the older posts (mostly to ask for re-ups or because they were searching for something specifically), but almost no one leaves multiple comments as they dig through the archives. I suspect it's because people assume that the blogger never reads them and it must be like shouting into the wind.
People are even reluctant to post comments below the first couple of posts because I think they're so used to thinking of any post that isn't the top one as being old news. Well, as I've mentioned before on the blog, I tend to think of all the posts on here (and at other blogs, actually) as being equal, so it doesn't matter whether it's the first or the 200th post. So it's always nice to get feedback, a thank you, or some of those cheerful comments from the nice people who come here.....you guys are great in case I haven't mentioned it before!.
But that's what makes what Vince did so amazing and I just thought I should point that out! He's a great friend to this blog and I wanted to let him know that all the effort he put into leaving comments didn't go unnoticed. And he didn't just leave a cursory thank you (which is always welcome too), but he left specific feedback and was always interesting (and kind) in what he had to say. So my hat's off to you, Vince (if I was wearing one, that is)!
And while I was thinking about writing this valentine to Vince, it struck me that I shouldn't leave out all the other fantastic people who have commented lately. 'First Moon' also takes the time to leave comments on many posts here and they're always fantastic! (Did I just use the word fantastic too much? Well, it fits. So sue me!) She has to be pretty busy what with all that must be going on (2 kids and a future engineer!), but she still takes the time to say something nice or just drop a line on these posts, so again my hat comes off again! (Oh, wait. I think that's actually my hair........no, wait. It's my hat......if I were wearing one). I know if I see First Moon's name, it's always going to be good!
And I wanted to give a special shout out to all those great guys who comment at the Trivia post: Quinlan, Bistis6, Muad'Dib, and Huguinho Pinheiro especially who are all trivia champs! And Harrylime, Kingroper, Steve, Tor Y. Harbin, and so many others including Vince (well, you already got your praise!).
And here's to my other favorite commenters like Ennioman, Mel, Sallie, and so many others I'm forgetting!
And all those people at the Requests post.....well, you know who you are (and with an especially big Hi to Filmpac!)!
And finally (I can hear the cheering already), here's a special thanks to all the old standbys and diehards who've always stuck around: Isbum who always has something nice to say, Rocket who is always missed when he's not around, J.R. who's Hub will be missed but I'm glad he still shows up here, Timbo whose blog I don't visit often enough (but you're not alone in that, Timbo!), Jordan whose enthusiasm is always amazing, Honored General who also always has something nice to say and amazingly keeps coming around, Lacey who still after all this time pops in, and so many others I know I'm forgetting.
Your kind words and supportive encouragement never goes unnoticed (well, at least not relative to geologic time) and certainly never goes unappreciated no matter how dormant the blog may seem or how long it takes me to show it! Again, you guys are great (and not just because you say nice things.........sure it sounds like I'm brown-nosing, but it's almost entirely sincere...........no, I take that back. It's 100 percent sincere (and irony-free)).
Thank you to all of you and enjoy!
By Request - Ben-Hur (1925) (Carl Davis)
+-+Front+Cover.jpg)
'Thomas' requested this score, and 'Voila!', over a month later he gets his wish! Well, assuming he still cares at all, and that he still visits, and that he happens to check this post, I hope he enjoys it. Well, even if none of those things are true anymore, I hope he still enjoys himself in general.This is the score to the silent film composed & conducted by Carl Davis and performed by The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Studios like to re-score silent films for restored versions, re-releases, etc. especially when they have chariot races.
Actually, the chariot race in the silent version is just as exciting as the one in the Charlton Heston version. You'd think maybe it wouldn't be, but it is. And it's amazing what you could get away with in the Pre-Hays code days. I seem to remember watching scenes in that movie with men having their arms hacked off. That would be a little rough even in a movie today let alone in 1925 (not to mention 1959 where the worst you get is Stephen Boyd broken and bloody and maybe a little leper action).
Carl Davis is another composer I enjoy a lot and he's carved out a real niche composing for silent films (among many other things). It must be tough with the competition from all those other composers from the silent era out there challenging him.
Enjoy!

Foul Play (1978) (Charles Fox)
Here's another superfluous post. Though its extraneous nature is a nice change of pace since my posts are usually made unnecessary by others posting here, but this time it's made unnecessary because the excellent new blog, Dusted Soundtracks & More! had already posted this score not that long ago. That'll teach me to get sick.Well, as is usually the case in these things, I had the link all ready to go so I didn't want to waste it, but I'm betting his copy sounds better than mine (not that mine sounds all that bad). Well, go over there to get great stuff while you're avoiding my album(s?). If, on the other hand, you want to humor me by downloading my copy, then that's fine too. Actually, now that I think about it, why did I post this? (Oh, yeah, I'm trying to avoid waste.......too late).
Well, in either case, you'll enjoy this fun score to the fun Goldie Hawn / Chevy Chase mystery / comedy!

The Cardinal (1963) (Jerome Moross)
I'd thought I'd post one of my favorite Jerome Moross scores of all time. Possibly second only to The Big Country (which you will find elsewhere on the blog). The music is absolutely fantastic (unless you don't like my taste which I could certainly understand.....that would also explain the lack of comments on the blog, but that's a whole other story).Moross has also scored such movies as The War Lord, The Valley of Gwangi, The Proud Rebel, and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, to name a few.
This is the score to the Tom Tryon / Carol Lynley religious drama though the music isn't in that Miklos Rozsa religious epic vein (probably because the film isn't an epic). It's lyrical and you will like it. The film was directed by Otto Preminger and a young Robert Morse also appears in a musical number because what would a religious picture be without an appearance by Robert Morse?
Enjoy!

The Cardinal (1963) (Jerome Moross) - 01 - Main Title

Moon Over Parador (1988) (Maurice Jarre)
Here's another score that I always wanted to post (because I always liked the movie and because the music is absolutely fantastic). I never got around to it though because at one point, Not Quite Blogging Yet had posted it, but his blog is no more, so I thought I'd post my copy.Again, it is beautiful music fit for the Richard Dreyfuss comedy that takes place in a fictional Latin American country called Parador. You will love this music. It seems to me that at one time this score was rather hard-to-get, but I don't know what its current availability is now. Well, actually its current availability right here is pretty good since it's staring you right in the face.
Enjoy!

Comme Un Boomerang (1976) (Georges Delerue)
'Anonymous' had requested this score some time in the Paleozoic Era, but since I was sure somebody else would post it eventually, I never did. But nobody did, so here it is now.What can you say about Georges Delerue? His first name is Georges and his initials are G.D. What can you say about the music? Well, it was from 1976 so that should give you some idea of how it sounds. And it was a drama starring Alain Delon. Hmmm....can't think of anything else to say.

Comme Un Boomerang (1976) (Georges Delerue) - 01 - Generique
