There are (at least) two scores that anybody who likes film music would like to be released on a good edition: A prayer for the dying and Slow dancing in the big city.
I've put on youtube two tracks of these soundtracks that I think wolud be the best of Bill Conti music:
It's the second time today I see someone post a request for a CD release of a score that already exists. What the hell is going on? Surely it takes less than two minutes to find out whether a score has a legitimate CD release or not, especially if you're a fan of the composer!
So, aside from the John Scott rejected score, has there been a CD release for Conti's Prayer for the Dying?
Just watching the film right now. Cool score although almost too big for the gritty visuals. Would almost fit better in an action flick. Interesting movie with a wacky performance from Bates.
Only a b**t, which did sound quite good though. I can't believe this hasn't been released legit yet by Varese or Intrada, must be some sticky rights issues to navigate. I agree, it's one of Conti's very best scores.
