Sure...I´ll let go.Just a stupid quote and nowadays used too inflationary in my opinion.Which is not right. And I´m not a PC guy...even though the times are too delicate to throw around terms Maybe being European and German I ´m a bit more sensitive....dont know. Anyways....back to music.
Yes..I want all GoldsmithsI was mostly referring to my old LIONHEART LP with the Goldsmith Discography on the back. Regarding THE WALTONS....well this is one of those scores..like THE TRAVELLING EXECUTIONER...BALLADE OF CABLE HOGUE...I dont know...
Indict and Convict is a short but great score. I hope the original tracks survived at Universal. If Intrada or LLL could license it they possibly need something to pair it with.
But now I'm looking foward to Leigh"s strech goal announcement!

Agreed! Maybe Franz Waxman's penultimate score The Longest Hundred Miles which I think was also for a Universal TV movie? But there are a lot of great contenders there... maybe pair a Goldsmith TV movie with a Goldenberg? Universal has a good record of saving tapes for that era so I remain optimistic. If I knew for sure Indict and Convict tapes are lost, then I would definitely recommend it for a new recording.
But now I'm looking forward to Leigh's stretch goal announcement!
I think you'll be pleased.

Well of course that's going to focus on films.

The video of this TV movie was the #1 most difficult to acquire thing I've ever managed to get for The Goldsmith Odyssey podcast, about five years back.
Leigh says, "Don't let this stunning, proto-Chinatown, end credits music mislead you; the score for this hard-hitting TV drama holds many surprises for the listener. Sometimes tender, sometimes jazzy, sometimes cool, sometimes avant-garde and completely uncompromising; Goldsmith packs a heck of a lot into the 16-min runtime!
I won't go into background details re plot and production, as our good friend Joe Sikoryak will be covering it when he posts his next blog. What I can tell you is that, for an additional €4776/ £4028/ $5265, we can capture this score by scheduling an extra session following the Pursuit & Crawlspace recordings (it would be recorded on the same day as one of these). That means the campaign stretch-goal figure will be €18,951 (convert as appropriate).
I hope you all enjoy this little excerpt of pure vintage Goldsmith. By pushing onward we have the distinct possibility of adding yet another lost gem to our collections. Please do keep spreading the word!
Thanks, everyone! "
Congrats to Lokutus for guessing correctly a while back in this thread (among several good guesses)!
I'll admit I'm not a math guy, but I'm confused by the statement (on the Kickstarter update page) that "for an additional €4776/ £4028/ $5265 we can capture this score by scheduling an extra session" so "the campaign stretch-goal figure will be €18,951." None of this adds up to me (again, math is not my strong suit). What am I missing?
I think things get confusing with the currency conversions. For most of us here, the campaign shows up in $ (USD). Leigh's Kickstarter account was started when he still lived in the UK, so the base currency for his account and therefore the campaign is locked to £ (GBP). But Leigh himself currently resides in Prague, so for him Kickstarter converts everything to € (EUR/euros) just like it converts to $ for us.
That's a gorgeous end title. Sorry to hear the rest of the score isn't like that, but maybe it has other interesting features. Good luck in reaching the stretch goal -- I think it will happen, given the success of the original Kickstarter.
Beautiful tender end title.This will be a killer release!
Aha! We found another Goldsmith score you didn't even know you wanted, moolik!

Glad you like it, Thor! Some of the rest of the score is indeed like that (it's not like Pursuit or Leviathan where the End Credits have a never-before-heard theme that just shows up out of nowhere, lol) but Leigh was just trying to get across that it has a lot of variety over its 16 minutes. (It's probably the most varied score of the three, even though it's shorter.) Together these scores will make a really nice hourlong program!
Will "The People Next Door" be put up in full on your YouTube channel like other episodes of series?
Not sure... so far we've been a bit leery about putting more recent things up on our YouTube channel. Everything so far has been live TV from 1960 or earlier, and likely in the public domain at this point. But other YouTube channels seem to have little problem putting up obscure TV movies (including Crawlspace and Pursuit for that matter, both of which have been released commercially unlike this) so maybe we could get away with it...
Well, that was an easy incentive to upgrade my modest pledge!
Thank you, Sean! But just so that people don't get confused: it's not required to increase your pledge in order to get this score included -- it's just necessary for the overall additional funds to be raised. So this is like the bonus "Autumn Love" last time around, where if the goal is met everyone automatically benefits and gets more for their $$$. NOT like the "Sarah's Laughter" stretch goal with add-on from Leigh's first Kickstarter campaign, where if people wanted the second score they had to chip in another £3 to get it. Kickstarter's not as well set up for that kind of stretch goal as say Indiegogo is, so we decided to simplify things going forward and not confuse people (and also just be nicer, and simply give people more bang for their buck if enough more money can be raised overall). And unlike with GE Theater, in this case it's kinda unavoidable because there's a CD tier baked in from the get-go which most people are opting for, and not practical to release some CDs with two scores and some CDs with three.
Now if like Sean you feel inspired to pledge more $$$ to help make the stretch goal third Goldsmith premiere happen, by all means please do and we are very grateful for it! (There are ways to pledge more while getting something extra for it: some cool bonuses at the higher tiers, like getting PDFs of the written scores, as well as access to the sessions for less money than most similar campaigns would charge... and there are also add-on options for folks who may have missed out on any of the GE Theater campaigns.)
Glad you approve! It really just made sense on a lot of levels. As much as I would have liked to suggest Leigh add my Goldsmith grail "1489 Words" (CBS Radio Workshop) which I consider to be his first masterpiece, it just makes more sense to save that as the centerpiece for a prospective Jerry Goldsmith at CBS Radio Workshop CD someday (even with presenting the music-heavy "1489 Words" twice -- both with and without narration -- I think that would all fit on a single CD). Plus it was written a decade and a half earlier than Crawlspace and Pursuit.
It also made more sense to go for another unreleased feature length TV movie from roughly the same era, and one that's unlikely to have survived in its original film recording (I still have hopes that Indict and Convict does, in the Universal archives). When Caldera released that bunch of David Shire scores for CBS Playhouse from the composer's own tape archives earlier this year, that was kinda the deciding factor which made me suspect a CBS Playhouse release with the original recording Jerry's score would likely never happen, even if tapes do somehow survive somewhere (and they aren't listed among the CBS Collection holdings at UCLA).
A final neat link is that Goldsmith scored The People Next Door as a favor for his friend, producer Herb Brodkin (they met on Playhouse 90 at CBS about a decade earlier), who also produced Crawlspace... and Lights Out in that same year of 1972 (oh if only we could manage to get our hands on that!)
By weird coincidence, I just last week watched the feature remake of The People Next Door (score by Don Sebesky, shot by Gordon Willis) on BluRay, and only after learned that Goldsmith had scored the TV version, so I very much hope this gets included in the re-recording.
It was very odd seeing young Stephen McHattie as the sweet hippie musician son and days later watching him as an evil Texan bounty hunter in Geronimo: An American Legend.

Just to clarify: you're not hoping the Don Sebesky score for the feature film gets included, are you? (How is it? I'm entirely unfamiliar with Sebesky... it's ironic that a relatively unknown composer scored the theatrical film remake while Jerry freakin' Goldsmith scored the preceding TV movie.)
I'd be curious to check out the film version since it stars one of my favorite actors, Eli Wallach. And it would also be fascinating to compare adaptations only a couple years apart, since the 1970 theatrical film has the same director AND writer as the TV movie!
This is great news indeed to get THE PEOPLE NEXT DOOR 16 min suite as a bonus.
It's not a suite, really -- it's the complete score. It's simply more sparsely scored than the other two TV movies... closer to Indict and Convict (also well under 20 minutes) rather than Do Not Fold, Spindle, or Mutilate (more like 25 minutes) in that regard.
Will the 30 days initial kickstarter campaign deadline now be enough time to raise the additional bucks, that's the problem....
I'm optimistic. We have almost 22 days left! And don't forget, Kickstarter now allows a late pledge option (which doesn't help in reaching the main goal, but can be used to reach stretch goals)... don't forget that Intrada recently got 27 late pledges after their recent Abbott and Costello campaign "closed" -- one of whom took the top $10,000 pledge tier, which no one had opted for during the main portion of the campaign!
Seems to contain about 10 minutes of the Don Sebesky score, and also seems to be the only soundtrack album release his film music ever received. (Somebody please tell me if that's incorrect and soundtrackcollector.com is omitting something.) Does anybody have this fairly brief score/songs LP in their collection, out of curiosity?
I was mostly referring to my old LIONHEART LP with the Goldsmith Discography on the back.
