I hope I can order this before the sale ends. Everybody else - could you hold off buying this until the price goes back up? I'd hate it to sell out before I place my order. I wonder if I should also get Les Baxter's SADISMO (also at a reduced price) and maybe PROPHECY or something like that. So much to get. Maybe I'll get Goldsmith's 100 RIFLES, but I've already got that, and who needs two copies of anything? It's on the "Best" label, and the sound is absolute shite.
I'm putting my sunglasses on again.

I'm kinda interested in this one as well, just for the general 70s sound that beats everything else. Plus, I like his stuff from the Amazing Stories and TV Omnibus CD's.
I've had some good fortune picking up Kritzerland titles for knock down prices and really loving them, especially Bernsteins GOD'S LITTLE ACRE and the three STU PHILLIPS scores.
That's not to say I won't buy their stuff full price. Stuff like CARRIE is essential to me. And any other Donaggio titles they might have forthcoming.
The only one I have but don't really care for is CROSS OF IRON/MISS WYCKOFF, which I can't even trade over on the trading post.
I shall watch this title over the coming weeks.

BUSTING is currently on sale at SAE for a mere $11.95. It's a fine introduction to Billy Goldenberg's music and the film itself is a delightfully slimey portal to the bleakness that was 1974.
The interior picture in the booklet is poster-worthy. When Elliott Gould ruled the Earth.
I know that there was a lot of political crap and bad recessionary crap going on in that era, having graduated from HS in May, 1974, but I was working, living at home until I started school that fall and lived in a dorm. I always had money.Times only stink for the ill prepared. I have great memories of that time. It only started to stink when Carter was elected....
The early '70s was about as Noir as the country ever got. Give me corrupt politicians, rotten economic and employment prospects, gas-guzzling cars, and a Fu Manchu moustache. I'll be happy.
Funny, we have all that stuff now--minus the 'stache--only the music and movies are just plain awful. In the darkest days of Vietnam and Watergate, at least we didn't have Shia Lebeouf on our screens.
check out LIIFE ON MARS -either version!

The CD could have been perhaps more successful if the movie would be available on DVD. It was a long way for The Outfit to be released on DVD(R) - where's Busting? 
Is it a film that the Warner Archive can release? Does Warner retain the rights to MGM/UA?
Warner controls pre-1986 MGM titles. MGM controls the later MGM titles. BUSTING is a UA title and MGM controls all UA titles. So, the best we can see for BUSTING, in terms of a physical media release, is a made-on-demand disc via the new FOX / MGM program:

Hey Graham, you could always swap it with K McG for CROSS OF IRON if it blows for you

Ah! If BUSTING is "too jazzy" for Kev, then I'm bound to like it! I didn't know he was trying to get rid of CROSS OF IRON though... I don't remember a surplus of jazz on that one.

There are a number of cues on BUSTING that wouldn't be out of place in a first season COLUMBO episode.
yeah, thaose are the only ones i listen to!

The music is but one reason I watch early '70s films--urban blight is another. There's nothing more entertaining than watching an American film taking place in a city so decrepit it could double for Stalingrad.
well, any MODERN city fits that bill!

What about your beloved MIAMI VICE? That qualifies for the Cop Buddy sweepstakes. I guess nostalgia plays a part...
i do not like cop shows in general but....
VICE & THE WIRE are exceptions because they are so original and so well produced
mos def NOT nostalgia
