It's too bad that this score wasn't coupled with EDDIE COYLE instead of THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR as this film is such a close sibling to it. I have no idea if this score is even still retrievable or not. (Or, for that matter, if we'll ever see cool 1970s scores released anymore as the labels have moved on to rotten 1980s and 1990s movies now. )
Some terrific Grusin grooves here along with echoes of carnival music when Jason Miller reminisces about his carny background.

I second that. I used to write about it at the FSM Daily.

Might have been nice, but as a Fox film, THE NICKEL RIDE wasn't available to pair with a Paramount title.
Maybe they could pair The Nickel Ride up with another Paramount property, like BADGE 373 (1973), which has a score by J.J. Jackson.
Just to be clear, THE NICKEL RIDE is a Fox film, and cannot be combined with Paramount films such as THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE or BADGE 373. It's the latter two, from Paramount, that could be combined.
And, unfortunately, the only other Fox Grusin score I can think of is also reportedly MIA--MY BODYGUARD. (Have no idea about the status of MR. BILLION.)

Perhaps you can pair THE NICKEL RIDE with another Fox score from the seventies but by another composer.
