As someone said above, it lies between his Flint scores and the Last Run, never as jazzy as the former ones or as dramatic as the latter. It is cool, in a very Uncool way (if that makes any sense). It's interesting, to say the least and should be available on CD (and this is one you'd like to be expanded - even then it would only run some 40 mins).    Posted:   Dec 9, 2007 - 2:28 AM     By:   riotengine   (Member) Listenable, somewhere between the Flint scores and The Last Run. If you like listening to attempts at sounding hip and mod in the 60's that didn't quite make it--and thus became their OWN kind of hip and mod--you might enjoy it. Not a must-have, though. Ah, but that makes it something I must have. Greg Espinoza    Posted:   Dec 9, 2007 - 12:20 PM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) Ah, but that makes it something I must have. We're with you, Greg. Mebbe the album'll show up again on Ebay anon ...    Posted:   Dec 9, 2007 - 3:08 PM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) In our household we refer to the compendium: Radio Times Guide To Films (2004 edition - we must update) to get an idea about a film's storyline, main cast, critic's review, etc. For Sebastian, the 80 - 100 word review concludes with the words: "... than it does with the blaring muzak and trippy dreams of the finale." Oh dear! That said, JG's name is given for Music and this only happens when the music contribution is considered significant.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 11:23 AM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) In Honor of The Current Adjoining Thread Addition Department: Thot yu gents might like ta peruse a previous version and the equally appreciative comments engendered herein. Now if only somehow Maestro Gold Standard's music from the film itself could miraculously be unearthed ...    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 11:37 AM     By:   SheriffJoe   (Member) My album was ACCIDENTALLY sold, along with more than dozens of other albums when I was attempting to downsize a decade ago. I say it was accidentally sold because it was in the wrong pile for downsizing. My best friend had to hear me lament about that for a month. I would also immediately purchase this score if (and when) it is released on a legitimate disc. It's a really fun score!! Joe    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 12:20 PM     By:   miguel   (Member) I think it got a CD release in Spain sometime ago. I'd love an FSM take on this one, with lots of extra cues and alternates. There's some great 'out there' jazzy/electronic stuff in this one and the main theme is proper catchy. I'd love the main title as heard in the film to be made available, the album may have been a re-recording. The LP was reissued in Spain in the 80s, but I'm afraid there's never been a CD. A complete one should be very welcome(pleaseeeeee, though I know it's Paramount).(Meanwhile, why don't you try doing some unnamable downloading instead of just wondering what the music is like?) It's 60s pop Goldsmith style. The Bach piece is really good, and The Trip is pure psychedelia. I've never seen the film, but the music does sound like one of those trips which in the 60s I was still too young to take.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 12:50 PM     By:   Jeff Bond   (Member) I also recall there's a "Sputnik" cue on the album by another composer that's pretty cool.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 12:59 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) SEBASTIAN was a great little LP that came out concurrent with the release of PLANET OF THE APES in '68. Finally catching up with the film on a television showing in the early 70's, I had to admit that the film recording had a somewhat fuller sound, especially the main title, although more broken up with dialogue interludes than the album re-record. It's very much a last gasp of the "Mod 60's", but well worth seeking out. why do they use that "computer style" lettering? It isn't science fiction, is it?    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 1:03 PM     By:   Eugene Iemola   (Member) Tristram Cary (The Prince and the Pauper-Disney) wrote that piece and the album liner notes were written by none other than Tony Thomas.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 1:06 PM     By:   Eugene Iemola   (Member) "why do they use that "computer style" lettering? It isn't science fiction, is it?" Nah, computers were new and they were going to save the world by helping to solve crime! Or at least that's sort-of-how I remember the film. The opening titles were really the best part of the film for me, not unlike Billion Dollar Brain, come to think of it.    Posted:   Sep 22, 2008 - 1:28 PM     By:   edo   (Member) posted on the other Sebastian thread - can't help to spread the gospel - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uRd8w9YQmcU    Posted:   Sep 23, 2008 - 12:34 AM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) I have a burn of the old lp on cdr but it sounds like a burn of an old lp. Better than nothing, I guess. This one was on DOT records, slim chance of a reissue.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2008 - 1:40 AM     By:   RyanPBrennan   (Member) I have a burn of the old lp on cdr but it sounds like a burn of an old lp. Better than nothing, I guess. This one was on DOT records, slim chance of a reissue. It's at least as good as having the Lp. I'd think it was a lot better than nothing.    Posted:   Sep 23, 2008 - 6:22 AM     By:   Zooba   (Member) posted on the other Sebastian thread - can't help to spread the gospel - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uRd8w9YQmcU Yes, Goldsmith's excellent scoring of the Opening/Main Titles (spread out in the 8 minute Opening sequence) not released on the Dot LP. Great stuff!    Posted:   Sep 23, 2008 - 10:32 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) I have a burn of the old lp on cdr but it sounds like a burn of an old lp. Better than nothing, I guess.

I'd love to have it sound like what we listen to these days, though. Hey, I'm playing it now.    Posted:   Sep 24, 2008 - 8:56 AM     By:   Gordon Reeves   (Member) What We Love About This Particular Gold-Standard Department: is it hasta be up there as one of his all-tyme most deleriously uplifting concoctions. We defy anyone exposed to its aural delights not to be thoroughly transported into a rich realm of sheer enjoyable revelry all delightful day long ...    Posted:   Apr 15, 2009 - 9:30 PM     By:   Josh   (Member) According to Dusty Groove's "Coming Soon" page, this is going to be released on CD in late April. Doesn't indicate by which label, though. http://www.dustygroove.com/upcoming.php?cat=12    Posted:   Apr 16, 2009 - 2:30 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) According to Dusty Groove's "Coming Soon" page, this is going to be released on CD in late April... That would be just typical ... I spent some hours a couple of years ago ripping the music from the DVD of Hanover Street because I'd given up all hope of a CD release ... and then ... Last month I finally got around to transferring my old cassette tape recording of the old vinyl album of Sebastian I owned back in the 1980s to DVD+R ... and now ... Not that I'm complaining.    Posted:   Apr 16, 2009 - 5:33 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) According to Dusty Groove's "Coming Soon" page, this is going to be released on CD in late April...
