From their Facebook page: "The December releases are at the plant right now and will be announced next Monday, the 15th.!... This year our Christmas dinner guests are Morricone, Goldsmith and Mancini... Not bad! Three expanded releases, two of them on a double-CD set. Lots of action and adventure music here... Lots of fun, too!" For some reason I thought they were done for the year but WOW are they going out with a bang... I wonder which two of the three are the double-CD sets, but it is insanely exciting that all three are expanded. Yavar

Hey, just because some of us annoyingly follow up soon after with "what's next?" doesn't mean that we aren't happy for longer than a day. Personally, I'm super happy with all of my Goldsmith albums...which is why I get so excited about more coming out! I'm with you though -- all three titles have got me really intrigued! Quartet did an amazing job with Manini's Santa Claus and others. Yavar

There can only be so many Goldsmith titles left to expand. Take away all the complete editions, TV shows, anything very recent, scores never released, and then anything from Varese from 1990 onwards, you probably got a small list.

Quartet has had aspecial Christmas batch since at least 2012. What's surprising about it? Or that any specialty label would try to have one for Christmas?

There can only be so many Goldsmith titles left to expand. Take away all the complete editions, TV shows, anything very recent, scores never released, and then anything from Varese from 1990 onwards, you probably got a small list. Here's the list you described, excluding TV, anything Varese probably controls (incl. pre-90s titles like The Other), and finally all scores that have either never been released at all (which would be 'premieres' instead of expansions) or have already been released in definitive form by one of our beloved labels. I'm not sure what you mean by 'very recent' because Goldsmith has been dead for over 10 years. Soarin' Over California The Last Castle The Mummy Mulan The Ghost and the Darkness 2 Days in the Valley (recent Intrada release was described as the original planned album program, not C&C) Powder The River Wild Basic Instinct (unreleased film versions of cues) The Russia House Warlock Criminal Law (Varese may or may not control) Link Rambo: First Blood Part 2 Legend The Lonely Guy Under Fire The Secret of NIMH Raggedy Man (Varese may control?) Caboblanco (or was the Prometheus complete?) Twilight's Last Gleaming (only a little missing but it's supposedly a highlight) MacArthur High Velocity Damnation Alley Ransom S*P*Y*S Chinatown Shamus The Last Run The Ballad of Cable Hogue The Chairman The Trouble with Angels In Harm's Way Lilies of the Field (unless LP was the complete score) Freud Of course many of those can't be released by Quartet because they don't work with the relevant studios, and other scores are presently lost in complete form and could only come out as a rerecording. But I'd also point out that Quartet didn't rule out TV, so for example (if they work with Fox) this could be something like A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Yavar

Well, we can rule out: The Ghost and the Darkness Intrada said that was on their "radar". Link Tapes are missing. That's why Intrada could only do what they did. Under Fire Again, a tapes issue. Damnation Alley Unless those synth overdubs have been found. Shamus Lukas said in 2003: The other is that the Columbia lot moved twice in its history (at least!) and very little was saved. They have virtually NOTHING prior to the '70 or even '80s...it's really too bad, as all those wonderful George Duning scores are likely gone. I believe there are acetates only for On the Waterfront...nothing in the way of scoring masters for Lawrence of Arabia. I asked about Seamus and it is lost... they had the Dick Shores 1975 TV Seamus and that's it! Freud Was the Varese Club edition not complete?

I was merely providing a list satisfying the requirements you set out. If we leave out what Quartet can't be doing (besides The Ghost and the Darkness they also can't do Powder, which was similarly on Disney-owned Hollywood Records) it'd be much, much shorter. Other scores for which complete original tapes are lost include Ransom, In Harm's Way (at least it was that way a few years ago), The Last Run (according to Lukas), and others... Tapes for Link must exist somewhere in some form because there is an expanded bootleg. And no, the Varese Freud was expanded but not complete (and I think I heard it even missed a cue -- or unique version of one -- that was on the LP). Here's a shorter list ruling out the titles I'm fairly sure that Quartet can't do: 2 Days in the Valley (recent Intrada release was described as the original planned album program, not C&C) The River Wild Basic Instinct (unreleased film versions of cues) Warlock Criminal Law (Varese may or may not control) Link The Secret of NIMH Raggedy Man (Varese may control?) Caboblanco (or was the Prometheus complete?) Twilight's Last Gleaming (only a little missing but it's supposedly a highlight) High Velocity Damnation Alley S*P*Y*S The Ballad of Cable Hogue The Chairman The Trouble with Angels Lilies of the Field (unless LP was the complete score) Freud Of course I may need to pare that list down even more, but at least that's a bit more manageable. I'm hoping for NIMH! Yavar
