I was always surprised that Varese or somebody didn't release his "rejected" score for ALIEN NATION (it was dropped because the movie was drastically recut, not because the filmmakers were unhappy with it). Varese issued a couple of other rejected scores, e.g. Elmer Bernstein's LAST MAN STANDING, and as ALIEN NATION was an all-synth score, re-use rights wouldn't have been the problem ... I can only guess that Goldsmith simply didn't want the score issued, hence the bootleg. I'm sure he especially wouldn't want the score issued NOW, since he recycled the main theme for THE RUSSIA HOUSE (and far more evocatively, I might add.)

Varese also wanted to issue Goldsmith's LEGEND at the time it was rejected, but the owning company in England (Filmtrax, I think) refused to license it, thinking -- Goldsmith guessed -- that they'd make more money importing their own copies. Now, at least, we have the expanded Silva issue, which is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

I'd like to hear THE REINCARNATION OF PETER PROUD, to my ear his creepiest score ever, issued with superior sound.

Do you remember Goldsmith's music,It's really
quite funky,but It didn't make it to the bootleg.

I guess you´re referring to the Soundtrack Library boot. There´s PRIVATE boot out there that has MORE music....

Btw, you have the Murder at 1600 sessions right? Is it worth getting that set, or is the promo sufficient? If you can, would you let me know how long and how many cues are on those discs? Thanks!

Memory like an elephant,
