A HIGH WIND IN JAMAICA-65-LARRY ADLER- A good score from a man who only did about 7 scores.
Gorgeous score! What there is of it, only about 25 minutes, total, including that haunting song.
Would love to get the tracks.

How about Ferde Grofe's ROCKETSHIP X-M and THE RETURN OF JESSE JAMES? And Aaron Copland's THE RED PONY? All of these are fine scores by two non-film score composers.
Well, Copland did win an Oscar for THE HEIRESS, though he was angry that his score had been altered significantly.

Don't forget THE LADY IN WHITE, composed by director Frank LaLoggia, a really excellent score.
Don't think he's either directed, or composed, anything I've heard of since...
Too bad.

ALFRED THE GREAT - Raymond Leppard.
Still no legitimate CD release for Raymond Leppard's magnificent score for the David Hemmings/ Michael York movie, ALFRED THE GREAT. The score did have a brief, limited release on the MGM label and certainly in the UK, became one of the most sought after (and expensive) LP's ever. A German bootleg did appear some years ago, but ommitted some of the best cues. Why one of the various labels hasn't picked up this superb score is a mystery. Leppard also scored LORD OF THE FLIES, but to the best of my knowledge, that was the sum total of his output.

LIVE AND LET DIE by George Martin!
Prolific music producer but not film composer.

DARK OF THE SUN yet. That is a VERY cool score.

George Bassman - RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY
To be fair, Bassman can hardly be considered "non prolific" nor spending "fleeting time" in the film industry.
The man was a workhorse from 1936 to 1948 at MGM composing, conducting, arranging and orchestrating at MGM working on everything from Love Finds Andy Hardy to The Wizard Of Oz! Most of his actual film scoring work is uncredited (that's what the studio did in those days) but he has 15 credited scores to his name.
His best film score is to Minnelli's The Clock (1945) which is a gem and I was always hoping that FSM would get around to issuing the score but that never happened.

Doesn't appear like LaLoggia has done anything since that 1988 film. But a few days ago, I saw the film he scored before--1981's FEAR NO EVIL--along with David Spear. Decent score, what there is of it between the rock tracks from the Ramones, Sex Pistols, B-52's, et al. Percepto Records issued the score on CD in 2003, but I'm not sure who scored which cues.
