I wish somebody in the know from any label, would just let us know a reason for this score not being released; complicated rights? Not all the score can be found? The entire score is M.I.A.?
So we can at least eliminate the speculation and have a starting point from which to talk about why it's not out.

I remember being told years ago somebody apparently knew somebody who had a bootleg of it. Shame I don't have any of that info' anymore, otherwise I'd work my way backwards to find out if there are tapes hiding somewhere.

I'm surprised Mike Ross-Trevor wouldn't have saved a copy himself, but I'm sure if he had someone from Varese/Intrada/Silva would have put it out long ago...hell Bruce Botnick apparently didn't save a copy of Under Fire so why should we be surprised if a completely unused score (except for a bit in one of the trailers, I hear) goes missing/misplaced?

But my favorite of ALL of Jerry's noir scores is honestly Contract on Cherry Street...with my single favorite noir cue Jerry ever wrote being "Prowling" from that score. LOVE IT.

Well here are a couple of interesting scores for me to look up.
This might sound cuckoo, but I really haven't explored the noir side of JG as much as, say, Rozsa. I haven't heard the Chinatown score since the last time I saw the movie (80s). I guess it's mostly because I'm so cuckoo about the other genres Maestro Jerry wrote in more.
But now I'm ready to dive in...after I get the rest of my stolen collection back 
(speaking of Rozsa, losing the Treasury to that guy was one of the most crushing blows)

Oh, NO! And I bet you didn't even get to finish making your way through all of it? I know you saved up for that for so long; I am so sorry to hear that.
If you pick up Chinatown make sure you get the Intrada edition; it is definitive:

I second Yavar's recommendation of the Intrada Chinatown. It's a great presentation of one of my favorite scores, and one that was very influential in the noir genre. John Barry would make noir deliciously sleazier with Body Heat in the next decade, and then Goldsmith would make it all calculating and intellectual with Basic Instinct in the decade after.
Body Heat and Basic Instinct were both very, very influential because they set the trend for the noir subgenre of the erotic thriller, and there were tons and tons of those on Cinemax After Dark, most with scores bearing heavy influences of those.
This thread prompted me to pull Contract On Cherry Street off the shelf for another spin. That's never a bad thing.

WOW! Someone ELSE besides ME loves "prowling"! That's my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CUE from the score!

BTW, Yavar....
Who were you responding to about the "OH NO!" reply you gave? I can't find that post!

Make that three of us! It popped up in rotation on my Goldsmith ‘70s playlist and I had to double dip.

And there is good news today!
Good news on this. I checked with MRT and although he didn’t have any tapes himself a DAT was sent to JG at the time and has been found by Carol and the score is being worked on for release by a label who releases JG soundtracks quite a lot. But be warned how long it will take to do the paperwork on it is another matter so don’t hold your breath.

This is the best Goldsmith news since Damnation Alley was announced by Intrada. Maybe better, even.
I am over the freakin' moon!
