Is there any chance this will ever get an original soundtrack release?

Virtually every one of my so-called "Holy Grails" have gotten released in the last ten years or so.

But GWANGI remains unreleased, except as a re-recording.

This would make 2009 one heck of a lot better...!

If I recall correctly, the tapes are lost. I think there was a story posted on this board about the Moross estate possibly having something, but their tapes were reportedly of poor quality. (I may be remembering this wrong, but if you search the board you should find the earlier posts on this topic.)

A holy grail of mine too. I still don't know why Silva failed to re-record the main titles? Oh well, a little is better than none at all.

While we`re talking about holy grails, I got one of my holy grails (not the one in the top but still one of the other on the list) earlier this year and since it is only february I have high hopes for more to come.

There are so-so sounding, incomplete tapes, not enough for a full album; I too have always been mystified why Silva Screen didn't rerecord the main titles as the Gwangi suite they did is one of the better reconstructions they've put together.

It's funny it's an underrated score--it seems like people thought it was a comedown for the composer of The Big Country and that it didn't measure up to Herrmann's Harryhausen efforts, but I just love Moross' dinosaur music and the fusion of sci fi sound with his classic Western style.

Considering the technical miracles Intrada has achieved recently, I wonder if this could still be a possibility, maybe coupled with some other short original score.

On the other hand, a re-recording à la Tadlow would be awesome as well, or maybe even better!
