Could one of them be 'The Whisperers' OR 'The Knack' by John Barry?.
Both 60s
Both UA
Both have OOP CD releases
John Barry is European.
Well, let me tell you if one of them were The Whisperers I would be incredibly happy, especially if some nice record producer left off all that awful dialogue from the previous CD release AND improved the sound.

The Battle of Britain (Goodwin)- another possibility
UA
60s
OOP CD
Ron Goodwin is/was British
The Varese CD isn't OOP.
It WOULD be nice to have a release that's actually fully in stereo though.
Actually, Battle of Britain IS OOP - they seemed not to be aware of it but now are  Not sure how many sales would be left, though.

No, the "unique" comment refers to presentation, which differs slightly in each case from the previous CD releases.
One movie is certainly from the 1960s.
Is this a "unique" presentation because it is a double CD? You previously said it is great value for money.
Great! Sounds like one of scores is John Barry's The Whisperers from 1967. Looking forward to picking this one up without the dialogue.
From your previous comment, it sounds like only one film is from the 1960s. Is the second from 1970s?
The other film is indeed from the 1970s. And the CD pairing is "unique" in one way, certainly.

Thanks! I have to say I really wanted a John Barry on Kritzerland and I absolutely love this particular score - in fact, it's one of my all-time favorite Barry scores - and the film is absolutely amazing. If you've never seen it, I cannot recommend it highly enough - it's finally out on one of those movie on demand DVDRs from MGM - not the greatest presentation (letterboxed at 1.66 but not anamorphic), but what a movie and what a performance by Dame Edith Evans. One of the greatest performances ever put on celluloid and she was seventy-nine at the time.
Best of all - there will be an actual booklet and not one of those tinker-toy fold open things that drive me absolutely up the wall.

But no one has guessed the pairing?

Is the other composer also British?
I believe the other composer is British.

Equus?
|

Equus?
Gezundheit.
Equus - now there's an absolutely ravishing score by an absolutely brilliant film composer. But a CD and LP I rarely listened to - why if some nice record producer actually managed to separate out the monologues and present the score tracks without any talking for the first time, and then put the monologues after that, I would dance a jig!

I own the Ryko editions of both The Whisperers and Equus myself. Perhaps I'll pull them out and give them a listen...
They're both incredible scores - and they fit together quite beautifully and it's so great to hear the Equus score tracks sans any talking.

Cool! Equus is a great score by a marvellous composer...and no dialogue? Perfect. Is this one remastered as well Bruce?
Completely remastered and sounding better than ever. I don't think I've made any bones about the fact that I was never fond of the Ryko sound - thin and constricted with very little bottom and never enough guts for me, nor enough air on top. It's fun to revisit these ten or twelve year old things - I think every one of these that we've done has been improved - some dramatically, some a little.
I'm currently thinking about doing another, although I'm just not sure there'd be enough sales in it - but boy, do I know it could sound a LOT better and it's such a brilliant score I might just do it.
