Great idea Cody: Max Steiner Americana !!! 
I would add, if available:
The Hanging Tree
Springfield Rifle
Parrish
Susan Slade
Excellent suggestions ! Niall would love to have SPRINGFIELD RIFLE ,but he has told me that nothing exists unfortunately.
That's right Cody as far as I am aware nothing exists from Springfield Rifle. I'm sure I have read that somewhere on this board. But I would love to be proven wrong.

Wonder what survives of his brilliant score to "Helen of Troy", a title mentioned earlier. That's really the top of my most wanted list. The boot is listenable and does suggest that elements are to be found somewhere. An official release would be fabulous and is way overdue.

It has often been mentioned on this board that the tapes for HELEN OF TROY (and probably also those for KING RICHARD AND THE CRUSADERS) were stolen at Warners and then used for the CD boots during the mid-90s. Therefore at Warners those tapes are apparently "missing" since that time.
You just have to read Ray´s postings at the end of this thread and then you will know everything:

Last night we enjoyed the first public showing of Diana Friedberg's forthcoming documentary MAX STEINER - MAESTRO OF MOVIE MUSIC. John Morgan, Diana, Bill Stromberg and I were all happy campers afterwards.
3 days without cigars, coke, alcohol and coffee was tough, but in the end, worth the sacrifice.

Dear Ray:
It was a pleasure to meet you, albeit briefly, at the Max Steiner Symposium last weekend.
My feeling is that it was your good self who provided some of the most knowledgeable, entertaining and enlightening moments of the symposium's two days.
I unfortunately messed my introduction to John Morgan and Bill Stromberg to a point where I am utterly humiliated to watch my dear wife's video recording of same.
It may not appear so from that introduction, but I do have some fourteen years' experience of research into Max Steiner, his life and music. I have travelled to Vienna, London, L.A. and B.Y.U. on many previous occasions and have a number of boxes of photocopies from those collections, and having purchased a number of CDs at the event, I now believe I have more or less a complete collection of your work on those Steiner recordings that are housed in the Provo collection.
May I also take the time to say that your work on the print of KING KONG, was exceptional, outstanding, and other tributes that I am sure the English language has words for but I cannot think of at the moment. I like to think that I led the 'whoops' and 'cheers,' for the performance at the final chord, from where I sat in the disabled row (I couldn't, unfortunately, join the rest of the participants for KONG). It was truly unbelievable, and set the standard for future efforts, which basically means perfection.
Thank you, Ray, for taking the trouble to travel all the way to Utah to enlighten our symposium. I hope that, should a future symposium take place, and I don't doubt that there will, you will again be a part of it, perhaps with a presentation highlighting the true extent of your extraordinary work.
Thanks again,
Stephen Butler
