A few promotional copies were pressed and bootlegs of the score have been circulated privately for years. My question is does anyone thing this is something that could eventually be released? The film was released by Avco/Embassy which if I am correct in my thinking has since transferred to MGM/UA. Granted of course that the master tapes of either the original recording sessions or the LP have survived. (I know one track made its way onto a couple David Shire promos.) Perhaps this something up Bruce Kimmel's alley. I could see Krizterland doing this. James [edit] Changed the thread title to screw with the jokes that followed.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2015 - 8:38 PM     By:   OnyaBirri   (Member) I am not interested in the guys David Shire dated.    Posted:   Jan 13, 2015 - 8:54 PM     By:   ANDREW   (Member) Beat me to it, Onya! A thread title just WAITING for a response!    Posted:   Jan 14, 2015 - 4:01 AM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) There's a nice cue on one of his compilations from the late 90's so yes, I'd wager at the very least Shire himself still has this music somewhere. Some of the solo cello writing foreshadows his magnum opus, RETURN TO OZ.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2015 - 7:23 AM     By:   mgh   (Member) It is a beautiful score; I would buy it.    Posted:   Jan 14, 2015 - 12:14 PM     By:   James MacMillan   (Member) It is indeed a beautiful score, unquestionably one of David Shire's best. Would love to see a proper release of this opus.    Posted:   May 2, 2015 - 10:14 AM     By:   James MacMillan   (Member) It is indeed a beautiful score, unquestionably one of David Shire's best. Would love to see a proper release of this opus. And now that I've seen it and heard it - this has to be THE release of the year for me, so far at least! A beautiful piece of work, a magnum opus maybe... Thank you again, Intrada. - JMM.    Posted:   May 2, 2015 - 10:44 AM     By:   Lukas Kendall   (Member) I really loved this album, thanks Intrada! Lukas    Posted:   May 3, 2015 - 12:09 PM     By:   David Colvin   (Member) so excited to see the great lads at intrada releasing more great Shire scores, just picked this up and it sounds astounding    Posted:   May 3, 2015 - 12:50 PM     By:   bobbengan   (Member) Look forward to picking this up. Whenever Shire got to write for orchestra, great things tended to happen.    Posted:   May 10, 2015 - 1:43 PM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Well you all convinced me to get this, and boy is everyone right. One thing I'm noticing for those wondering about this. If you love Joe Hisaishi's scores for Miyazaki films and so on, this score has some real similarities in sound and approach from time to time. Very much the same idiom in general, and quite lovely and interesting throughout.     General Discussion: OLD BOYFRIENDS by David Shire    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
