Arrived yesterday -
PANIC IN YEAR ZERO - Les Baxter (La-La Land, 2009): I never really thought that Les Baxter's Kentonesque "jazz" (it's more rock n' roll to my ears) combined with Munsters-like travel music was particularly helpful to the film, but I had to find something at the same price as a CD I'd paid for but which turned out to be unavailable, so I took the chance. I can't help NOT liking the CD. It's a bit annoying in places, but it's never boring, and it's all unmistakably Les Baxter, who when he was good he was brilliant, and when he was bad - well, he was a lot worse than this.
THE MISSOURI BREAKS - John Williams (Kritzerland, 2013): Took me a while to get this. I think I forgot it existed. Loved the old LP I got in the '70s. Looking forward to hearing it again PLUS the original film tracks. This one never seems to get discussed much, which is probably why I forgot it existed. So it's on the menu for tomight or tomorrow.

- Harry Potter box (Williams, LLL), finally bought it until it is gone forever
- Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Moross, FSM), fills the remaining gab in my Moross-collection
- Nosferatu (Hans Erdmann), fascinating music to a silent classic by F.W. Murnau
- Frenzy (Goodwin, Quartet), excellent underscoring of an underrated masterpiece
- Mary, queen of scots (Barry, Quartet), a must-have because i missed out on the Intrada-edition

I left a list of soundtracks for the Three Wise Men to bring me. I didn't want to seem greedy, so I only asked them to choose two or three. Well, they (or my mummy and daddy) brought me FOUR!
Goldsmith at 20th Vol. 1 - VON RYAN'S EXPRESS/ THE BLUE MAX (La-La Land, 2020)
I already had VON RYAN'S EXPRESS on the Intrada release. It's a fine score. The only track I don't like is the lengthy comedy piece. I wonder if the jaunty theme influenced Fielding's theme for HOGAN'S HEROES. That was around the same time, I think. It might have been the other way around, or not at all. Anyway, I got this for THE BLUE MAX, and it sounds spectacular.
THE SWARM - Jerry Goldsmith (La-La Land , 2020)
I have fond memories of the LP, which is included here. I think I read that the full score doesn't flow very well, but I'm happy to have it. I hope I have time over the weekend to hear this plus the following two...
THE TRAVELING EXECUTIONER - Jerry Goldsmith (Film Score Monthly, 2002)
Released 20 years ago! I gave this a miss back then because I couldn't get ALL the FSMs, and I'd heard this on a crappy boot. Some of it was resistible to me, but some tracks were really haunting and beautiful. I'll never end up getting all the FSMs (I don't "need" all of them), but I'm still amazed that a lot of them are still around, many at the same price as 25 years ago.
TOO LATE BLUES - David Raksin (Kritzerland, 2013)
I likes me a bit of Raksin. Don't really know what to expect from this, but I do like a surprise now and again.
