I am curious as to what virtues it has for you. Film score. Film score. Film score. The Holy Grail of film scores, lost and now unattainable, save for the movie itself. And Rozsa's masterpiece can be heard while viewing some of the most awesome visuals ever seen onscreen. Oh yes, and QUO VADIS even tells you how to get to heaven.

There was also an in-house promo single of 'Fanfares from Quo Vadis?' that may never have been issued for public sale. I've never met anyone who actually HAS it. I had it, at one point at least. I noticed it in an ad in the pressbook for the 1964 reissue, something distributors could use in their theatres. So I ordered a copy. It was a 10" lp, in a white paper sleeve, with, as noted above, 6 fanfares from QUO VADIS on one side and 5 from IVANHOE on the other. It wasn't something you end up playing a lot. I ended up trading it to Myron Bronfeld in the late 70's for a reel-to-reel recording of the complete tracks to BEN-HUR. (I know, that sounds terribly one-sided. But, remember, there were no complete tracks to much of anything back then, especially BEN-HUR, and I never played this thing. And I really wanted the BEN-HUR tracks.) But I can attest to the fact that it did exist.

And D. Everybody keeps talking about it, and urging it be re-recorded, and no one ever does. Or, if they are, I haven't noticed anyone talking about it. Oh well...
