Awesome !!

Listening to my old tape of THE DON IS DEAD now.
Man, those synth farts in the Opening Titles are annoying. They completely ruin the orchestral suspense going on otherwise.

Universal's master tapes on Bernard Herrmann's Fahrenheit 451 are held captive until year 2066 when Robert Townson will produce a 100-year anniversary soundtrack album.
Can't wait. I should have retired by then and thus be able to devote my full attention to the enjoyment of this forthcoming release.

I should have known, by the amount of times I revisited my old tape of The Don Is Dead (not many, as opposed to things like Ballad Of Cable Hogue, Flim-Flam Man, Twilight's Last Gleaming), that it was never a score I cared for that much.
I always mixed the film up with Contract On Cherry Street (another sh!te 70s gangster/cop drama Goldsmith scored), although the music for Contract is miles better to me than Don.
TDID is just too much of a mixed bag and nothing really hangs together for me. Too much low-key, noodling suspense music.
I love me some Goldsmith (and usually 70s Goldsmith is a no-brainer for me), but like Take Her She's Mine, this is one score I'm happy to pass on and let all the other nuggets riff on it.

THE DON IS DEAD! COMPLETE!
Or alternatively "The Don Is Completely Dead". Dead as a parrot.

Goes without saying. Alternate title: "The Don is Sleeping with the Fishes" or "The Cement Shoes of the Fisherman".

You'd be surprised what tapes aren't lost...
How about Rozsa El Cid?
or
Another Spartacus this time complete and full dynamic stereo?

We'll have to wait until year 2060.
The 100th anniversary of SPARTACUS on Alex North's 150th birthday.

I would be over the moon if that were ever to happen, much as I like the Tadlow recording.

"The Chairman" would be my prime wish for Goldsmith.
Pretty sure Jeff’s too.
Cody, you do realize that Intrada’s upcoming release being discussed here IS a total premiere...right?
I too would be in for reissues of On Dangerous Ground and Blood on the Sun if better sources turn up but I wouldn’t hold my breath on that. At least something for them survives, which is more than I can say for The Naked and the Dead or a couple dozen Rozsa scores I’d love to have.
