I just got back from Newbury comics with..
Poledouris' Conan the Barbarian (the Milan Disc, New) for 14 Bucks.
Arnold's Stargate (Milan Disc, Used) for 4 Bucks.
William's Star Wars, Attack of the Clones (Sony, Target with an extra track, Used) for 3 Bucks.
I also found in my Mailbox a new edition of Fanfare (Sep./Oct) Magazine. Sandwiched between Goetz and Grenadier was Artur Litgen's review of Goldsmith's Twilight Zone: The Movie.
Also, sandwiched between Holliger and Hummel was, again by Arthur Lintgen, Horner's Something Wicked this way Comes.
Both reviews were favorable but Arthur critized Horner's ("After a brilliant start of his career") later efforts as "repetative and derivitive New Age pablum". An opinion that I agree with completely.
I welcome Fanfare's inclusion of film score reviews within the pages featuring other Reviews of Symphonies, Concertos Operas and Sonatas. I do miss Royal S. Brown's feature (Film Score Musings) but I feel that Herrmann, Goldsmith, McCreary and others Film Score Composers should be included in the same section as the works of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

I don't think I will ever better finding Bill Conti's BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT CD (cancelled Varese) some years ago for £5 at a film fair.
But, I gave Brad Fiedel's SERPENT & THE RAINBOW away for nothing!!! (to a friend) many years ago, so everything evens out in the end.

I guess my spectacular finds are:
The Phanton of the Opera - John Addison (Colossal Records). I paid US$ 10 at a used store here in Brazil. The score is absolutely fine, lush strings, very nice themes... if you find it, buy it.
Poltergeist - US$ 10 at the same store
Conan the Barbarian (Varese release) - US$ 12
The Serpent and the Rainbow - US$ 20 (I still can´t believe it).
And also a very surprising cd that is Pet Cematary (Goldenthal) - the score is awesome and I paid 8 dollars.

I won the vinyl lp of 2 Maurice Jarre scores on ebay: Mandingo & Topaz.
I couldn't resist, I've never seen either film and I've always wondered if they were really as bad as they used to say they were.

MANDINGO is one of the vilest, most offensive films ever made. IMHO, of course.

That's what I heard but I never went to see it.
