If anybody is interested, here's an excerpt of the original stage play from 1958, on the Ed Sullivan Show, starring William Shatner (looks like his own natural hair) and France Nuyen:

Does no one share my obsession with this score?
Short story time for Onya.
I had gotten myself a used RCA stereo LP for around $5 in 1986 when I was age 19.
[from The Book Trader, which used to be @ 5th & South here in Philly]
Duning's Suzie Wong has been with me ever since for 35 years.
Unsurprisingly, I bought the Kritzerland expansion in 2014.
Nonetheless, this title has never been any 'obsession'.
When I listen to this one, it's for cues like "Aberdeen Caper" or "Hong Kong Disaster - Temple Yard" and not the big band blues or mambos, etc.
Good stuff all around, but not my personal favorite Duning.
Still, Suzie Wong along with FSM's Wreck of the Mary Deare & ColPix's Devil @ 4 O'Clock demonstrate how well-suited Duning was at writing 'disaster' music. I wish Duning would have gotten more commissions during mid-to-late-1970s to score some of those disaster flicks.

David,
I have a copy of The World of Suzie Wong, if you're interested.
What's your email address?

Funny you should write this today. We recently had to do a horrendous move from one warehouse to another. In so doing, I found an entire box of Two for the Seesaw buried under a lot of other boxes. So, if you want one, drop me a line. I also found some The Night They Raided Minsky's/Gaily Gaily - not a lot, but some.

I'm dropping the line as we speak.....

I like the whole album, but I did not like the way the producer chopped it up for CD. I had to resequence it. It plays much better now.
Chopped it up? It's the full score, what exactly is chopped up? You live to be offensive and it's more than a little tiresome, friend. We'll all await your brilliant work as a producer - oh, wait, that will be the twelfth of Never.

People are entitled to their opinions about sequencing.
I remember for the Kritzerland album—which I love—we sequenced some of the non-Duning-penned source cues as bonus tracks. Maybe that's what the comment is referring to.
A great project and one I was very happy to be a part of!

Actually, I have produced albums. They have sold nearly as few copies as your releases have, possibly even fewer.
And you obviously are not offended by my purchasing of many of your albums, which was once pretty frequent until you stopped releasing film scores. The charges all appeared on my credit card.
I suppose you have forgotten about my "Open Letter to Kritzerland" thread, in which I praised your label. Such short memories we have in the interwebz era!
Now, will you please tell us if it will ever be possible to release Ken Thorne's "Help!" score?
And I do appreciate your referring to me as "friend."

I think you know very well just how offensive you've been on any number of occasions. Do you suppose I'm the only one who sees it, because you would be supposing wrong. Let's have a list of the albums you've produced - that will be fun. As to how few albums we've sold, both albums in this thread sold out, as did many of both our soundtrack AND show titles. In fact, The Sap of Life is getting close to selling out right now. And somehow you forgot to explain to everyone how the producer chopped up the first ever complete release of The World of Suzie Wong. We all await with excitement.
