The work by all these authors is fine indeed---and in addition to Jeff B., Dan S., Julie K., Nick R., Randall L., Frank D., Lukas K., John M. and John T., let me also tip my hat to Tim Grieving, Jim Lochner, Andy Dursin, Scott Bettencourt and Jon Burlingame, who have all enriched the many CDs that I've designed by bringing interesting details to light about the music, personalities and films involved.
We've released music from some pretty obscure films and good liner notes are often all we have to turn to. Ned Comstock at the USC film and television library, for example, often refers students to our boutique label soundtracks as important pieces of reference for film and music. High praise!
One of the great joys I've had working on soundtracks has been getting a new set of notes delivered and continuing to learn something new (after 17 years in the business, that's no mean feat). Hat's off to you all for your tireless research and thoughtful writing---it makes the music that much more enjoyable.

Wow, Joe, so nice of you to leave only one liner notes writer out of the big mix - which is why you'll never be designing for Kritzerland

Nice one Bruce! 
Why don't you give Joe a 90 day trial period?

Better yet, let's make a list of all the great designers out there and leave him off That's the ticket, I think.

Funny thing about liner notes, however detailed they may be - one tends to read them quite avidly on receipt of a long-awaited musical purchase, but then seldom refer to them again on future listenings. I don't know why that is, but I'm certainly guilty of it myself.
Just last week I had occasion to listen to the FSM CD BULLITT and afterwards re-read the liner notes. The essay on the making of the film was terrific stuff - the author John Bender caught the essence of the time and atmosphere; he nailed it.
The subsequent descriptions (or, analysis) of the various cue tracks by Alexander Kaplan were exemplary as well; especially since he had to compare : the film's cues vis-a-vis the later recorded Warner Bros album, which of course became quite well-known.

….and let's not forget Jon Burlingame!
Let's never forget Jon Burlingame - he's always the best there is.

Thanks to the people who've mentioned me, and props to the many liner note writers whom I look up to (and hope to get close to in quality), as well as the excellent designers whose layout and choice of photos make you want to read the words themselves. You sometimes don't know who checks out your work, as the clamor is understandably for the music itself. So it's always nice, and gratifying to hear from readers on this board when they respond to any one's liners.
