It couldn't be Bronislau Kaper's "Them!"? That did have red on the film's title at the beginning of the opening credits.

A bit more from Roger, which has peaked my interest a bit, always happy when an LP becomes a CD.

Both releases are reissues. One is a straight LP long long overdue on CD, but the masters had long been elusive. The other is a reissue that has been on CD a couple of times, but this time expanded and in stereo! Well, to be fair some of the tracks were in stereo and some were really center channel heavy to ostensibly be mono. Remixed from the 24-track, now everything is in cracking stereo.


The 'has been on CD a couple of times' bit certainly makes that one sound like 'Gorky Park' to me.

But were some of Gorkys cues not in stereo? Always sounded ok to my oldish ears.

Some are very center channel heavy just as Roger described. That is going by the Varese CD.

But The Diary Of Anne Frank is already out on CD, & Sin City 2 is being released by another label.


Bootlegs or same old LP tracks only.


I understand the Anne Frank CD is legit, there was a thread about it earlier this year, here's a bit of the first post:

Today, Real Gone Music releases Alfred Newman's score for THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK -- the LP soundtrack's first legitimate release in over 50 years! I cannot recomend this highly enough to anyone who doesn't already have it -- Newman at his considerable best! http://realgonemusic.enstore.com/item/diary-of-anne-frank-cd

Followed by some posts saying how good the sound is. It doesn't seem to fit either clue.


Actually, I believe it does. The bootleg CD and the Real Gone Music CD are from the LP elements (the boot incorporated music off the Laserdisc, as well).

The clue is:

The other is a reissue that has been on CD a couple of times, but this time expanded and in stereo! Well, to be fair some of the tracks were in stereo and some were really center channel heavy to ostensibly be mono. Remixed from the 24-track, now everything is in cracking stereo.

Remixed from the 24-track sounds like they've found the recording masters from the film.

What about Michel Legrand's THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT?

Goldsmith's Ransom. Now that would be great.

Sounds a LOT like Gorky Park, which makes Sarge incredibly happy.

There are a few nice cues missing, and to have it all remixed from the 24-track masters... that would be glorious.

Great guess! And I so hope you are correct. One of my favorites not on cd.

How is Anne Frank released 'a couple of times'?

It has a few listings on soundtrackcollector. However did they really make 24 track masters in the 50s? I really doubt.

I was thinking a reissue of Silver bullet by Jay Chattaway, wasn´t there a black & white cover with Stephen Kings name in red? and I think the LP had on side mono and the other stereo (don´t know if Varese fixed that on their club CD thou, but there is more music in the movie than was released back then

The quote was that it has been on CD a couple of times. Once, it was a boot out of Germany. Next, it was issued by Real Gone Music. The statement never said it was a legitimate CD "a couple of times"....only that it was ON CD a couple of times.

The other one's considered a boot in the US.

That's the other point. It won't be that or Roger is mistaken.

If that's correct, then the other one is Barry Lyndon. It has a black and white cover, a rose and a splash of red in almost the same place as the one above. And an expansion would give us more of Rosenman's original music rather than just classical adaptations.
Ironic that with roses in the clues, the composer's name would also be ROSEnman.
Plus, Rosenman is popular with Intrada.

I'll certainly concede on this point. We're talking late 60s - early 70s, I think, for 24-track masters.

Both guesses are intriguing.

As for how much "original" music was in "Barry Lyndon", though, I cannot imagine. I do recall Rosenman reminding Oscar voters (and the Academy music branch, I guess) that he writes "original music" when he won one of his "adaptation" Oscars.

So, my best guesses at the moment would be 'The Other Side of Midnight' and 'Gorky Park'.

GP from the originals would be most welcome. Now just to find the cash...
