That suite that COSMORICO put together is a welcome relief from the clumsy big orchestral concert arrangements of the Barnaby Jones theme that we've had to settle for over the years. When he first put it up I played it over and over. Police Story remains one of my favorite Goldsmith cd's (Great cover art on that) There's variations of the themes and attention to detail that we're not likely to hear again. It's been said a million times, but the 70's was a special window in time for these TV scores. All the while keeping in mind that Goldsmith had already made it big as a film composer, and coming back to his old training ground in TV made it all the more special. You may be stunned to learn this, but I have yet to buy the "Police Story" dvds. I'd like to hear/see Jerry's music in action as well as the Richard Shores arrangements of same. There's an episode on YouTube with a pasty-looking Sue Ane Langdon as a cop trying to break through the male chauvinist barrier so that kept me from purchasing said dvds--at least for the moment. Getting back to MANNIX for a minute , which do you prefer as a listening experience, the recent Lalo re-record or the old Paramount soundtrack re-record? The 1960s re-record wins hands down. Unlike 99% of those who haunt these boards, I actually enjoy of-the-era re-recordings of stuff like Man from U.N.C.L.E., I SPY, Mission: Impossible, and of course, MANNIX.
