Our recent Soundtrack Spotlight outlines some of the key differences between the new Along Came a Spider and the old album. There are some significant mixing differences so for fans of the score it’s probably worth having both:

"Freud" deserves a more complete edition because the scei g for the scene where Freud hypnotizes David McCallaum's character on the C.D. isn't the one heard in the film but an alternate take.

I could be wrong but I think I've heard there were two Freud cues which were alternates on the Varese Deluxe Edition rather than the versions heard in the film and on the original not-quite-legal LP release of the score. I think there might also be some other unreleased bits of music too. I'd welcome a revisit of Freud from Intrada if elements allow it... and for that matter Lonely Are the Brave should be back in print too, even if there aren't any alternates or anything to add. smile

You mean there are only 50 commercially released Goldsmith scores you don't have yet? That's pretty great progress on your part, considering how many Goldsmith albums there are!

And that was a great episode, Yavar (as usual). Thanks !

It's David and Clark (and Bruce Botnick of course) who deserve most of the thanks for this one. I did get in touch with Bruce and was set it up between them. I may have suggested a question or two, and I gave feedback in the editing phase as usual, but that's it. David and Clark did a great job on the conversation and David did a great job editing.

To OnyaB...
You mention Goldsmith TZ scores not getting an LP release, but they did.
Unless you mean concurrent with the TV show.


Yes, the context should have made that clear.

Hi Yavar! Yeah, I was overwhelmed when I started collecting Goldsmith a couple years ago, but it's coming along nicely! And I love his music!smile

On a side note, while I'm collecting Goldsmith I'm also getting in to Leonard Rosenman, They share a lot of titles, like THE PLANET OF THE APES set!

I got THE PLANET OF THE APES set, it's fantastic! I also got Rosenman's CROSS CREEK which I also love.

Watch out, henry... if you aren't careful to keep up with your acquisitions, that number is likely to go UP instead of down, considering how fast the labels are releasing Goldsmith this year! wink

I think there is something to be said about the original LP's or CD's as they were produced by the composer as the order of the cues were often arranged appropriately to make a very good listening experience.
Some of these expanded versions presents the score as the music appeared in the film. That could be great sometimes but doesn't make a the best experience.
For example, Basic Instinct was an really well produced soundtrack, and yet slightly ruined by the expanded version that got released after because it killed the pacing.
As much I love extra music from Bad Girls ( a masterpiece ) I miss some of the edits Goldsmith did on the original and I also did not think the mastering was improved on the original. Too "digital" sounding if I recall and not really as warm. I have to revisit. Cues like The Hanging work even better on the original which includes the rattlesnake.
I thought the expanded Total Recall from Varese was punchy that the Quartet releases, at least the first one.
The best releases are when you get both scores, the lp or original presentation, and the expanded remixed.
Keep them all if you can.

Thanks.

Since I've got the Looney Tunes Back In Action Deluxe Edition coming in my Varese Sarabande sale order, I am wondering, is there anything different or unique about the original album program? Different takes, or unique album only tracks?

For some strange reason, "Howdy Stranger" and "The Nose Job" are crossfaded on the Quartet release of Total Recall, but the Deluxe Edition has them separated. So the DE is worth keeping for that, if for no other reason

This is how the cues are presented in the film. And when you look at the slates you can see that "Howdy Stranger" is "R5P1" and "The Nose Job" is "R5P1A." They're meant to go together.

Yes — the most important by far is “Area 52”. On the original album (included on Disc 2 of this release) it is the film version of the cue, with vocalist Sally Stevens (familiar from working with Goldsmith many years earlier on Secret of NIMH) providing a cool vocal evocation of the theremin which for me is one of the highlights of the score. On Disc 1 of the DE they instead have an alternate version provided by Bruce Botnick (strange since everything else on that disc is the film versions, even if it meant pushing the original Goldsmith roadrunner cues to Disc 2 in favor of the Cameron Patrick rescores), which instead has a synth theremin. I personally swapped out the Disc 2 track into the Disc 1 program, and moved the Disc 1 track to Disc 2 as an alternate.
