Hi Bruce,
Was just listening to your superlative release of VISIT TO A SMALL PLANET/DELICATE DELINQUENT.
What's the possibility of your ever releasing a score album, with songs, from the Martin and Lewis film, ARTISTS AND MODELS? Though one song, "Inamorata," became an instant hit, there was never a soundtrack album issued, and this is a really fun score.
(Of course, it doesn't hurt that I saw this film several times in its initial release, and enjoyed it immensely, and, apart from a subplot involving, presumably, Russian spies, it's still very entertaining. I was 6...)
The truly sad news is that soundtracks to Jerry Lewis films don't seem to matter to people, not even his fans (and believe me, I've gotten to his fans). I thought it would be the opposite, but Geisha Boy, due to having to do 1500, was a disaster, and Visit, while selling enough to pay for itself, thank goodness, isn't doing what I thought it would. It's surprising to me, but will probably preclude doing more. That said, I'm not sure that the earlier films have elements.
Too bad.
The Dean Martin fans, however many there may be, would be likely to buy ARTISTS AND MODELS.
For what that's worth.
Dang! Always wanted to get a soundtrack of that score....
Oh well.
I'd certainly buy a copy of ARTISTS AND MODELS, always liked that film and score!

It's a shame the Jerry Lewis scores aren't selling better as they're delightful. Buddy Bregman's The Delicate Delinquent is quite a gem.
I wonder if there isn't a prejudice against comedy scores. They're often brought up on this board as not being as interesting as other genres. I don't agree; there have been some absolutely wonderful comedy scores that make great albums.
Here are some that spring to mind that are guaranteed to entertain:
The Addams Family and Addams Family Values (Marc Shaiman)
Airplane (Elmer Bernstein)
Bananas (Marvin Hamlisch) and Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Sex* But Were Afraid To Ask (Mundell Lowe)
Bell, Book and Candle (George Duning)
Chicken Run (John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams)
Clue (John Morris)
Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (Miklós Rózsa)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Miles Goodman)
Ed Wood (Howard Shore)
A Fish Called Wanda (John Du Prez)
Galaxy Quest (David Newman)
The Geisha Boy (Walter Scharf)
Ghostbusters (Elmer Bernstein)
Hot Shots! Part Deux (Basil Poledouris)
The Hudsucker Proxy (Carter Burwell)
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (Ernest Gold)
Johnny English (Edward Shearmur)
Keeping the Faith (Elmer Bernstein)
Max Dugan Returns (David Shire)
Midnight Run (Danny Elfman)
Moon Over Parador (Maurice Jarre)
1941 (John Williams)
Pee Wee's Big Adventure and Back To School (Danny Elfman)
The Pleasure of His Company (Alfred Newman)
Police Academy (Robert Folk)
Samantha (Joel McNeely)
Scrooged (Danny Elfman)
Soapdish (Alan Silvestri)
Spies Like Us (Elmer Bernstein)
Stripes (Elmer Bernstein)
Stay Tuned (Bruce Broughton)
Visit To a Small Planet (Leigh Harline) and The Delicate Delinquent (Buddy Bregman)
The Witches of Eastwick (John Williams)
Yellowbeard (John Morris)
Great fun, all.

Bruce, any word when The Buccaneer will be shipped?
Waiting to hear - as you might imagine, both pressing plant and printer have been closed down for two weeks, so we're hoping it will all get done by Friday or early next week and will go out then.

Any clues what might be coming next? 
Yes, we can now entertain clews and guesses. First clew: Composer has been on Kritzerland before and more than once.
