Hey folks,
Some of you may know that John Barry was attached to the 1981 film The Bunker, but the film appeared with a synthesized score by Brad Fiedel.
Well, with a nod to Phil Richmond who found it, a version has appeared on YouTube which, despite carrying the Fiedel credit, appears to be the version with Barry's original score.
Check that end title out!

Amazing this turned up! I skipped through the film itself, there's very little music, just a couple of brief transitional cues I noticed, but it is undoubtedly Barry.

It's funny, I once saw A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT with Elmer Bernstein's original score, on some random cable channel, and in the HBO behind the scenes documentary on PRACTICAL MAGIC, all the clips contained the original Michael Nyman score (one of my top 5 film scores ever). These things do slip through now and then.

For a while, the version of The Appointment on British TV was a mongrel version in which reel one was the Stu Phillips scored version and then reels two onwards were the Barry scored version.

A noteworthy find. I hear semblances of Moonraker, The Black Hole, Enigma .... while the synth underlay is quite prominent. Puzzling though to throwaway a fine composition on such poor material.

Time indexes for those who want to go straight to the score (let me know if I missed anything):
About 27:03 in.
49:04 in: party piano source music.
52:30 in.
57:35 in: string and piano party source music.
1:21:07 (very quiet) in.
1:30:02 in (is this original source music?).
About 1:44:07 in.
2:05:27 in.
2:10:24 in.
2:12:32 in (very quiet; it gets louder slowly).
2:20:33 in (original source music?).
2:21:11 in: a short percussion piece.
2:23:00 in: the end credits. Around the end it turns into part of a cue from "Dances With Wolves".
I am not counting the children singing with somebody playing an instrument under them.
I didn't really tally the times. I could guess maybe ten to fourteen minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if score was dropped.
There's also an episode of "Moonlighting" where the DVD contained a rejected score by Richard Lewis Warren. Years ago when I interviewed him and asked about it, not only did he not know it was included on the DVD (by mistake), he didn't even know all this time later his score had been rejected.
