The Hustler. His best. I'm still waiting. Me and Fast Eddie are getting impatient.
Ditto- it's a pretty sparse score, though.

I certainly hope so. I only have Baby Doll and The Fugitive Kind on CD and The Hustler on LP, but they're all so good (especially The Hustler), I would love to hear more of his music.

Let’s look at the Hopkins LPs that haven’t been released:
East Side, West Side [Columbia] - Owned by Sony
Eleven Against the Ice [RCA] – Owned by Sony
The Hustler [Kapp] – Owned by Universal Music Group
Lilith [Colpix] – Owned by Warner Music Group
Mister Buddwing [Verve] – Owned by Universal Music Group
The Reporter [Columbia] – Owned by Sony
The Strange One [Coral] - – Owned by Universal Music Group
This Property Is Condemned [Verve] – Owned by Universal Music Group
The Yellow Canary [Verve] – Owned by Universal Music Group
As is often the case, Universal Music Group is the big offender here. No Frank Skinner from them . . . and no Kenyon Hopkins.
Let’s look at the Hopkins scores that have not been previously released, and their prospects:
12 Angry Men (1957, United Artists) – A very brief score (basically opening and closing titles) whose tracks probably no longer exist.
Wild River (1960, 20th Century Fox) – Still possible.
Wild In the Country (1961, 20th Century Fox) – This is an Elvis Presley film that has had an RCA LP/CD release of Presley’s songs. Whether that would complicate a score release is anyone’s guess.
Doctor, You’ve Got To Be Kidding (1967, M-G-M) – This should have been available to FSM. Maybe because it’s a comedy, there was not much interest by Lukas.
The Borgia Stick (1967, Universal) – TV movie. Possible, I guess.
A Lovely Way To Die (1968, Universal) – Possible, I guess.
The Secret of Michelangelo (1968, ABC Productions) – TV movie, presumably now owned by Disney.
The Tree (1969) – An independent film written, produced, directed, and distributed by someone named Robert Guenette. He undoubtedly owns it as well.
The First Time (1969, United Artists) – If tracks exist for this Mirisch-Rogallan production, they should be with M-G-M.
Downhill Racer (1969, Paramount) – Unlikely, being part of that “lost decade” of Paramount scores.
The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau (1970, David L. Wolper / Metromedia) – Hopkins scored two episodes of this series: “The Water Planet” and “The Night of the Squid.” If Wolper controls these, they probably lie with Warner Bros. If Metromedia controls them, M-G-M is the likely place to look.
The New Healers (1972, Paramount) – TV movie. Unlikely, being part of that “lost decade” of Paramount scores.
The World Turned Upside Down (1973, ABC / David L. Wolper) – TV documentary. Could be with Warner Bros. (Wolper) or Disney (ABC).
Lincoln: Trial By Fire (1974, ABC / David L. Wolper) – TV documentary. Could be with Warner Bros. (Wolper) or Disney (ABC).
ABC Afterschool Special: Dinky Hocker (1979, ABC) – Disney? Hopkins probably got the scoring job for this because Robert Guenette was one of the producers.

2014 will be THE YEAR OF KENYON HOPKINS.
I'm saving my pennies and I will be the first in line to buy.
Er ... alter that year to 2017.
How many pennies has OnyaBirri been saving since 2014 for the next Kenyon Hopkins disc? (which sounds like it'll be The Hustler via Intrada)
