Roger says:


Late 60s fantasy gets its premiere release. And through a quirk of timing makes it look like we're running on a theme. But just briefly.

I have no clue - googling late 1960's Fantasy Films brings up:

Disney's Blackbeard's Ghost

Possibly "The Valley of the Gwangi" by Jerome Moross? 1969, and the second dinosaur movie in a row after "Baby"?

It's clearly not the 1969 short film Bambi Meets Godzilla. LOL wink

Yeah, "Gwangi" would fit the "fantasy" genre. I was thinking "A Journey to the Beginning of Time"(1955) where some kids float down a river and find dinosaurs but that's too early. "Journey to the Center of Time"(1967) has dinos, but that's more sci-fi. "Planet of the Dinosaurs" (1977) is too late.

Great guess Schiffy -- hope you're right!

Moross was in the list of composers Roger mentioned who had projects coming out on in 2018. So you could be right.

If 1966 counts somehow as late, there's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Million_Years_B.C. (has Intrada ever released a Nascimbene score?)

I've never seen 1968's The Lost Continent, though I like the Gerard Schurmann score...looking at a synopsis online I don't see any mention of dinosaurs though so I guess that's a bust! (That is, unless there's some other link besides dinosaurs, ie. "Lost" in the title...)

Yup...I'm pretty certain this is The Valley of Gwangi by Jerome Moross, which is AWESOME NEWS as for many years now it's been thought to survive only in partial form (and with poor sound quality).

Now if they can just continue the theme for one more release after, maybe we'll finally get Ron Goodwin's best Disney score, One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing. smile

Much as I would love for it to be Gwangi (as in, final Holy Grail love), it's been such a sought-after and rumored-lost title that I suspect Roger would give it at least a little more hype.

But still hoping for Gwangi.

I just looked through lists of "fantasy films" from 1966-1969, and I can't find anything else that would make a pattern with Baby: Secret of the Lost Legend. I suspect your hopes will be rewarded this time.

Looking at the Soundtrack Collector page for One Million Years B.C., Legend released a CD of it in 1994 paired with When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth and Creatures the World Forgot, which further negates this being that since Roger specifically mentioned that the score would be making its premiere release.

D'oh, of course -- now I'm even more sure this is Gwangi (bootlegs don't count).

A search of this very forum reveals some stumbling blocks.

Ford Thaxton in 2003 - "Tapes are lost at last report."
Ford in 2006 - "At last report the score masters for this title have been lost which is why the SILVA SCREEN and the MOROSS estate had the suite from the score recorded."
Lukas in 2006 - "No elements at studio. There is a bad-sounding mono tape floating around of around 23 minutes."
Jeff Bond in 2006 - "what exists is not complete and not in great sound."
Jeff Bond in 2009 - "There are so-so sounding, incomplete tapes, not enough for a full album."

That was all a long time ago so perhaps some tapes have been recovered. Or it's a full re-recording.

I suspect that what was lost has now been found. Happens all the time. See: Alien3!

or re-recording?

I'd be surprised. I think Roger would mention if this was a new Excalibur title.

Maybe part original, part re-recording, like their recent "Tarnation Alley."

Dagnabit, did I get that title wrong again? Land sakes.
