It's scanned from a 3x4 inch photo in the book "Planet of the Apes as American Myth" by Eric Greene, so it ain't going to get any better, however this book coming out about Goldsmith's score promises photos, so there may be something more there. The book is supposed to come out the first week of August, from: http://www.pithikosentertainment.com/
Credit definitely goes to Rory for the finding of the pic and first posting it. I just reposted. And Damien, thanks for your great find! I love this stuff that I've never seen before. So cool! Refreshing to know that there are still so many treasures to be found in the realm of film music and it's history.
That photo is also a scan from another book about the franchise, the Jeff Bond co-authored "Planet of the Apes: The Evolution of the Legend." I'll bet there's many photos from that scoring session, which amazingly was only four or five days around Christmas 1967. Man, would it be amazing to see motion picture footage of that session.
Interesting that by the end of '67 & early '68, Goldsmith's hair was not yet light. By the time of the August '68 sessions for The Illustrated Man, I think Goldsmith was salt-n-pepper (& with a goatee). Did Goldsmith's hair go totally white in 1969?

I think around the early 70's maybe 72, the maestro was going through a lot of things in his personal life, like a divorce and the loss of his Mother. I think things like this have an effect somehow.
