Awesome James! Love the videos, as always. Can't wait for this one; it's perfect timing as it's coming out just a month or two before we tackle Thriller on The Goldsmith Odyssey. With this kinda synergy, we've decided to base our first two episodes covering the series on the selections you and Leigh made for each of the two new Thriller recordings (and then do a third episode covering the remaining ones). That way for the first two, we can promote your two specific new recordings.

Thanks GW of Spain for the speculation. I'll wait 'til mid-April to see what turns up stateside.
I lived many years in Cedar Rapids, Iowa but now make my home in San Francisco. Out here for a tech conference in the early '90s, paid a visit to Intrada's HQ, which at the time had retail shelves like a record store. I could only see this through the glass, however, since sadly the office was closed that day. Last year made it to Oakland to pick up an order in person, but it's totally just a mail-order operation now. Otherwise locally, have been able to find some goodies at Amoeba Music, as well as a couple of still-existing used record stores in North Beach.
Have been a reader of this board for many years but haven't posted hardly at all...
Hi KRopa - You know, sometimes I have "senior moments" which when they hit me leave me a little perplexed, if not worried. I've just realised that my response to your question makes no sense. When I wrote that reply, I somehow had it in my head that Tadlow was based in the USA. I'm shaking my head right now - Siva Screen, James Fitzpatrick, recording in Prague, Nic Raine... and the USA? That's why I assumed you were not in the States, and why I didn't fully understand your request, and why my answer is senseless. Jeez. Somebody get me to the specialist quick.
Anyway, you've given me a good excuse to bring up an old story of mine. Nothing to do with Tadlow, but you mention Intrada. I spent about four months working and travelling the the States way back in the summer of 1986. When I was in San Francisco I made a point of calling in on Doug Fake in the old Vallejo Street shop. I was back-packing so I couldn't buy anything, but I remember that Doug was playing the then-recently re-recorded ISLANDS IN THE STREAM, just the first track over and over and telling me how wonderful it was. I asked him if he'd ever heard of Gil Mellé (I pronounced it "Mell"), and he said, "Oh Gil MellAY? Sure I have", in a friendly but somewhat diffident manner. And then, "Hey, don't you just love this new Jerry Goldsmith LP?", and he was back to ISLANDS IN THE STREAM.
P.S - I've just looked at the SAE page and they have THRILLER 2 up for pre-order at 19.99 dollars. So same price as most CDs twenty years ago. Just curious - is postage expensive within the USA itself?

Sometimes you go through a lot of time-intensive work and end up pretty proud of your end result, only to see it somewhat negated by releases like this.
When the complete THRILLER 14-DVD set was released in 2010 by Image Entertainment, I was overjoyed when they included an Isolated Music & Effects track for Jerry Goldsmith and Morton Stevens. I had watched these episodes in the 1960s and ever since had been a Jerry Goldsmith devotee. I dutifully played each isolated score track live, transferring it to my hard drive in Sound Forge. Whenever I could microsecond-edit out thunderclaps, door-slams, floorboard-squeaks, heavy-footsteps, etc., during sustained notes (where they would not be noticed), I had eventually cobbled together a pretty listenable library of Jerry's 18 THRILLER scores.
Now, this next THRILLER CD release (ordered, of course) will pretty much finish negating about two-thirds of my happy hours editing the M&E tracks. I'm not complaining! Just mentioning it for y'all. Did anyone else do the same happy extraction?
And THANK YOU, Sir James.

Yup. I didn't micro-edit out sound effects, but I did cut the long spaces and normalize the volume. Same with the Twilight Zones Nightmare As A Child and The Four of Us Are Dying, which didn't fit on the 4CD set from '99. I'm good with the atmospherics which come with the archival sound. I also rarely enjoy re-recordings, and am less partial to sparser instrumentation.
So Tadlow's Thriller volume 1 pretty much left me stunned. It's just brilliant! All of the betters about it are genuine listening experience improvements, and not by a small amount either. I call it a very welcome negation of my many minutes of moil.
Still, with The Cheaters, Dark Legacy, What Beckoning Ghost, Guillotine and The Last of the Sommervilles, we've got 108 minutes of music left from our efforts!

I've kept hearing that Goldsmith composed for 18 episodes of this series...so isn't there one unreleased one missing?
(Also, did he write seven original Twilight Zone scores, or eight?)
