But they all have to have something in common. What commonality would you pursue?

An unrepresented (or poorly represented) composer? Decade? Movie series? TV series?

Rejected scores? Or something else?

Well, being the rejected scores guy I am, I have to go with rejected scores and that's the commonality for ten CD's.

I'd go with rejected scores that were skipped and not releases when a limited aedition of the replacement score was done, and I'd go for films that had no final origina lscore after rejecting one or more original scores.

I'm going to assume this topic includes expanded scores, so my choices would be very easy: either ten expanded science fiction scores (Blade Runner, Starship Troopers, Alien 3, etc.) or ten expanded James Bond scores (Moonraker, A View to a Kill, Licence to Kill, Die Another Day, etc.).

Unimaginative, I know, but hey, I know what I want.

I was just about to post the same exact thing!

Late 60s to late 70s Universal television premieres, with scores by the likes of Oliver Nelson, John Cacavas, Jerry Fielding, Gil Mellé, Billy Goldenberg, Dave Grusin and others.

I'm talking about series such as Columbo, Kojak, Kolchak, The Six Million Dollar Man, McMillan & Wife, Ironside, Night Gallery, It Takes a Thief and The Rockford Files.

I like your idea so that makes me intrigued to see a "wishlist" of rejected scores that you would choose.

Here in Sweden there are way too many good scores that has not yet been released on CD so I would choose the common link: Swedish film music. For instance the very famous Swedish film series of the Jönssonligan with most of the films in that series scored by Ragnar Grippe. Actually his theme is very famous.

or

my favorite composer here in Sweden is Bengt Nilsson and he is most known for scoring those movies about a cop by the name of Johan Falk (most of those movies is directed or produced by Bengt`s brother Anders). There are an official release of the soundtrack to the first movie Noll Tolerans/Zero Tolerance with about 15 minutes of score and the rest is songs. The first sequel got a promo release (that I have). Other than that there is a promo release featuring music from the first three movies (I do not own that CD). Besides thos there are no other music to any of the other Johan Falk movies (most of those made for TV).

Well, scanning over my website quickly,, here are ten titles:

1. Seven Days in May (David Amram)
2. Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' So Sad (George Duning)
3. 2001: A Space Odyssey (Frank Cordell; make it come true as his late widow had been trying to; no original score used in the film [duh])
4. The Panic in Needle Park (Ned Rorem; no original score used in the film)
5. Kramer vs. Kramer (David Shire)
6. Kramer vs. Kramer (Fred Ebb & John Kander; no original score used in the film)
7. The Fourth Protocol (Francis Shaw)
8. The Perez Family (Zbigniew Preisner)
9. One Tough Cop (Roger Bellon)
10. The Wedding Date (Debbie Wiseman)



And one special idea to mention, even though I've reached the ten CD limit: a catch-all of demos and unfinished replaced scores by John Barry. Surely all these odd & ends can be combined ont a one or two CD set. If a big box set of Elfman scores can wrangle the rights from different studios, so could this potential idea. I just got to hear those handful of cues he did with real orchestra for "The Incredibles".

Completely unreleased John Williams would be my theme.

5 of the CD's would contain 5 unreleased film scores (perhaps more if they could fit), and the other 5 would be a collection of unreleased tv music from the 50s and 60s.
