Some superb work there (and, as is so often the case, my favourites are for scores I don't own!). Cheeky request, but any chance of a variation on the Walkabout cover with the City of Prague/Nic Raine conductor credit on it?
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words though I must admit that it's just a simple rearrangement of elements from the Criterion Blu-ray cover. Credit for the cool image belongs to them.
Here are a couple of variations to go with the Nic Raine recording:
Well, it's a good use of the cover and still appreciate the effort of turning it into an effective album cover and for the variations for the CPPO re-recording. Thank you!
I couldn't find interesting enough visuals for the other TV movies featured on the new Goldsmith at Fox Album so, unless someone finds some, these will be the only covers I'll produce for this volume.
Anna and the King was a TV series, not a TV movie. Goldsmith scored three of the 14 episodes and provided the theme. Could you also try a version of the cover image that’s more zoomed out? IMO it’s a little weird to have Anna’s head on its own near the bottom (but she was sitting and he was standing.)
I found some decent stills for Prudence and the Chief… this one has the two title characters:
This one might otherwise be the more interesting image:
Despite what IMDb says, Prudence and the Chief was also not a TV movie but a half hour pilot (unsold) for a series, just like Only in America (aka The Best of Times). But I think Prudence actually aired, at least. “Original Television Soundtrack” would work consistently for all these different projects though.

You're absolutely right! Corrected!

I have a problem with these visuals. The first one especially. It makes me cringe to see a white guy pretending to be native American. I know it was the standard back then but it doesn't seat well with me.
Somebody get your facts straight. Go to Wikipedia .com. Born in Louisiana to Italian parents on both sides. Yes, he was known for portraying Indians, but thankfully not gangsters.
Are you referring to the actor “Iron Eyes Cody” in my humorous GIF response to steffromuk’s aversion to white actors playing Native Americans? Yes, I’m quite aware of his origins, professor … https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Eyes_Cody
However the actor we were actually discussing was Rick Jason, who portrayed Chief Snow Eagle in Prudence and the Chief… and it was indeed Wikipedia which informed me he was “an only child of Jewish parents”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Jason

No worries! Iron Eyes Cody was certainly an interesting person, though he essentially became known as the White-guy-plays-a-Native-American “poster child”, which is why I used him to react to steffromuk’s hang up about the Prudence and the Chief image.
I’m so used to old Hollywood doing this that I mostly just go along with it, to be honest.
