Received my copy today. I am not a Goldsmith completest but I sure have wanted this title ever since seeing the movie and especially when Varese released Lonely Are The Brave about 5 years ago. Just want to say, if anyone doesn't know it already , it is a gem. I won't complain about Varese ever again.
"I won't complain about Varese ever again."
Hmmm, I'm not sure if I can make that promise Cody ...... 
Nor can I, but then again I don't complain about Varese. Great releases! Again!

Here is a interesting bit that was told to me by the late Morton Stevens before his death.
We were talking about his work on OUTLAND and he mentioned that he had jumped into help Jerry on a earlier film to write a cue because time was short and he needed a bit of help.
So according to Morton he caught the for the end of the film when Kirk Douglas dies, which we now call "Broom's Doom" using Jerry themes and of course Jerry looking at it and signing off.
He said that he loved the sound the orchestra made when you send Kirk impaled on the tractor.
He told me he could never come up again with something quite like it ever again.
It's also worthing noting that many years later when he was scoring HAWAII 5-O he did a really good episode of the series called "Over Fifty? Steal" starring Hume Cronyn.
The theme he came up with for Cronyn's character is very close to the theme for "The List of Adrian Messenger"....
I could her wrong, I haven't seen the episode in years, but that's what I recall.

Yes, great sounding release (don't know what Mr. Eastman was talking about) and wonderful to finally have this early Goldsmith classic in digital form.
And as mentioned, and yet another par for the course move by Varese, absolutely no mention or credit is given to Morton Stevens for the "Broom's Doom" cue, especially since Mr. Townson actually seems to do an atypical (for Varese) description of each cue, including the aforementioned one by Stevens.
Still, for me this really caps the release of the grails of his early years (until masters from BLACK PATCH and FACE OF A FUGITIVE someday resurface.)

Thank you Ford! Yes, that cue "sounds" like Stevens now that I know to listen. I knew there was a reason we kept you around!

Robert Townson is once again playing the sycophant in his liner notes - I couldn't believe how many needless exclamation marks he used!!!!  Boo that Morton Stevens' contribution doesn't get a mention. Oh I forgot, it's because Bob Townson was too busy being a highly paid fanboy producer..
Regardless, points to Robert for putting this out.

I everyone were one tenth the 'fanboy' Robert Townsend is we'd have no grails left.
Bravissimo Mr. Townsend. Thanks for nearly three decades of wonderful releases.
