It was a sad day for sure. Jerry Goldsmith was/is one of the greats of film scoring. Will certainly listen to some of Jerry's music today. The music at 27:10 of Hour of the Gun summed up how I felt on that day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyLffCKUvf4&t=1675s

It was a sad day for sure. Jerry Goldsmith was/is one of the greats of film scoring. Will certainly listen to some of Jerry's music today. Yes, I remember this sad day and will never forget him. I did my EPIC-Records-CD of STAR TREK V - THE FINAL FRONTIER in my CD player and played for over an hour track 4 - A BUSY MAN. This piece of music is sad and hopeful at the same time. This piece of music exactly expressed my feelings on this moment. The man is gone, but his good work remains. Each time when I hear A BUSY MAN again, I remember this day. May be for the rest of my life ... Please tell me you upgraded your copy of STAR TREK V with the expanded edition from either LLL or Intrada... it's a must for any Goldsmith fan! Just think of all of the Star Trek music we've gotten (both Goldsmith and otherwise) since his passing.

Just think of all of the Star Trek music we've gotten (both Goldsmith and otherwise) since his passing. Yes, I am very happy with all this expandet/complete soundtrack realeses, but ... I heard last sunday the Intrada 2-CD-set of Goldsmith's PATTON and I read the booklet. It contains a important information, I've read multiple times in expandet releases of his scores. Goldsmith preferred always the album versions of his soundtracks, not the original complete recordings for a soundtrack release(contrary to the desire of many fans). If you remember the special relationship between Goldsmith and CD labels like INTRADA or VARESE SARABANDE, then we can sure, that this labels would have a lot of this complete versions of his soundtracks not released at his lifetime! Goldsmith worked many times with them on his soundtrack albums, also on new recordings of old scores from him and his friend Alex North. I am sure this labels respected his wish to release the scores only in his preferred album form. So it was a horrible price, we fans had to pay, to get many of this scores complete from INTRADA and VARESE SARABANDE: Goldsmith's death! In addition, if Goldsmith not died 13 years ago, and he composed 2 or 3 scores every year, we had now 30 or 40 new scores more from him! It may be, that Joe Dante hired Goldsmith for his film THE HOLE(2010). Then it may be, that we had only a album version of his score on CD from LA-LA LAND RECORDS, instead the complete version from Javier Navarrete. Also possible, that Ridley Scott hired again Goldsmith for films like PROMETEUS(2012), THE MARTIAN(2015) or films like KINGDOM OF HEAVEN(2005) and ROBIN HOOD(2010). Can you imagine all this films with original scores by Jerry Goldsmith? To have many of Goldsmith's complete scores on CD, we had a really horrible price to pay. A price nobody can calculate and pay with ordinary dollars. So I can wait for 20 more years to have a CD release of SUGARLAND EXPRESS. I prefer to have instead 20 albums with new scores from John Williams in the next 20 years! Of course also many new scores from Maestro Ennio Morricone.
