Congratulations, Leigh! I'm glad it worked out. I'm most looking forward to meeting the people next door. Sounds very fascinating. Thanks to everyone who made it possible...
If you haven’t already backed: this is your chance now to get THREE newly-recorded complete Jerry Goldsmith TV movie score premieres for only £12 (lossless CD quality download with full notes PDF) or £15 (Intrada CD edition, plus shipping), one month early and a couple dollars cheaper compared with the general release! Since the stretch goal has been met, all backers from the base download tier on up get the extra score automatically.
Yup these are all TV movies (so factor in commercial breaks) and the complete scores for all three together should total approximately an hour. None of these scores individually is quite as long as Shamus, Intrada’s wonderful 26 minute CD.
Maybe post a reminder of how much more is needed now, to push those who may want to help who can.
See Andy's post above from September 28 -- stretch goal was actually met then! But it's still good for people to pledge now, and get their pre-order in to receive the album at least a month in advance (probably more if opting for a lossless download option), and for a couple dollars cheaper than it will be to order retail from Intrada later...
By the way, just found somebody took that episode load and now there is an alternative link to it: https://ok.ru/video/7260514028035
Huh, that's kinda annoying. But what would be the advantage to watching on that Russian video site instead of our YouTube upload?
(By the way, for anyone curious about the Aaron Copland theme, it can be heard over the CBS Playhouse opening and closing sequence in this video... won't be a part of the recording, though.)
Leigh always puts any overage towards the next Goldsmith project. That's why his second GE Theater campaign had a slightly lower goal than his first campaign, even though the scores were actually more expensive to record since they included brass. And the overage from that second campaign was used to tackle the recording of "The Last Dance" outright (actually, Leigh had to cover a couple hundred pounds out of pocket, because the overage wasn't *quite* enough in that case).
Not sure what the next campaign will be at this point. It's possible it will be Lionheart (we are still awaiting scans of Jerry's sketches for the complete score from the Herrick Library because they have a backlog of copying requests and there is quite a lot of score to photocopy). It's possible another poll might be conducted. Or there's even a chance that it may end up being an exciting title we've discussed that wasn't included in the last poll. It's all up to Leigh in the end since he is doing the bulk of the work, pro bono.
"A huge thanks to everyone who's pledged toward, and shared the link to, our latest Goldsmith Anthology campaign! I'm delighted to say that after a big effort (especially during this last week) the necessary funding level to add a third Goldsmith score, The People Next Door, to the recording schedule has been comfortably met. This means that anyone who has contributed thus far, and those who might join in the near future, will receive three newly-recorded Jerry Goldsmith scores on the final CD (and to download...where applicable) as opposed to the (originally-planned) two!
With just over twenty-two hours remaining, please feel free to share the project page once more as any overage from this campaign will (as with the GE Theater kickstarters) automatically go to offset the next Goldsmith recording project!"
It's an additional option for if and when the load on Youtube gets copyrighted off, or the channel receives too many strikes and gets removed. Always nice to have a back up. So, kudos to whomever did it. YouTube and Archive.org -- unfortunately not reliable back ups. OK.ru may not prove to be either in the future, but right now it's working fine.
Whomever did it? I guess you also missed David Lichty's post above in this thread where he originally embedded the video: We, The Goldsmith Odyssey, uploaded it to our YouTube Channel in order to help promote the campaign and get the stretch goal across the finish line. I certainly hope we don't get a copyright strike or get taken down! None of our live TV uploads have caused any problems for us, though I admit this is the most recent thing we've put up (eight years more recent than the Mark Twain Playhouse 90 feature "Shape of the River").
