pp312, I'm with you in wanting a Sodom & Gomorrah re-recording, but it's a different situation from this in two ways: 1) Though Digitmovies dropped the ball big time on the mastering, they *did* release the almost-complete score on CD several years ago. Plus, the score has had at least two different prior CD releases. It's had exposure and not everyone who wants a copy of the score would necessarily pick up the re-recording. With The Salamander, not one note had been released *anywhere* before, even a re-recorded cue on a compilation (which Sodom & Gomorrah has also had). 2) Much as it pains me, Miklos Rozsa outside of his scores for "famous" films like Ben-Hur, Quo Vadis, and El Cid, doesn't tend to sell nearly as well as Jerry Goldsmith...especially 80s Jerry Goldsmith. I don't think Tadlow's Private Life of Sherlock Holmes sold nearly as well as it *should* have (this was early on when they were still limiting to 3000 copies, and I don't think it sold them all) -- especially considering crossover appeal from Sherlock Holmes fans and Billy Wilder fans. Jerry Goldsmith tends to sell even for the shittiest movies imaginable...even if the score isn't one of his best! (And The Salamander sounds like it's pretty high up there for his 80s output!) All that said, I hope James DOES tackle Sodom & Gomorrah in the future as it's one of my absolute favorite Rozsa scores...and hey maybe there's even some more music that can be found in the written scores, assuming they exist. Yavar Sadly I did not know Private Life of Sherlock Holmes was available even in re-recording. It's one of my two favorite scores from Billy Wilder films right next to Avanti.

Why's it sad? It's still available, now you know, go get it! It's an excellent rerecording and all that's left of the original recording is an up-and-down music & effects track... Yavar
