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.

I replied on the Facebook page: When it comes to American studios, does Quartet only work with MGM/UA and Paramount? That would narrow things down considerably.

EDIT: And I see you replied. smile

If the Gods aligned…

Goldsmith + MGM/UA = Secret Of NIMH!

Hey one can dream.

Looks like the fans disappointed at no Goldsmith this December are going to get their wish after all!

It should make most happy for a day and then promptly question "what's next?"

The Mancini title has me intrigued.

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.

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.

I think you underestimate how prolific Goldsmith was, but yes the titles are gradually dwindling, especially when you rule out the many titles Varese controls.

A week before Christmas and yet more releases? Some of us have families and stuff to think of. Niche and strange this market.

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?

Fair enough. I just have enough trouble this time of year trying to be Santa for my kids, unlike the rest of you dateless wonders.

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. frown

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.

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!

I will take another vote for Morricone's Two Mules for Sister Sarah. Great score and after all that attention in the movie Django Unchained. Would be my highlight cd release of the year.

Maybe Goldsmiths Supergirl gets a proper remastering and coupled with the missing bits and the ost edition. Varese doesnt have the rights to do a proper expansion. I hope its this!:-)
