Yes, while it could be argued that the original LP and CD contained the lion's share of the highlights, all in a tight wrapping. I always wanted that harp opening of KICK THE CAN and...moreso...the sad cue when the old dude is being fobbed off by his kids about visits. Truly heart-breaking stuff.
Likewise. TWILIGHT ZONE is an excellent score and it's Goldsmith, I certainly had to have the full score as well. But if posters are wondering and on the fence of this (so they are obviously not longing for the harp opening), I would say the original LP stands well on its own.

The perfect thing about this CD release is that it has everything.
The full score from the film.
The songs and cartoon source music (if you so wish).
The original album segment suites.
And...even the alternate Young Again sequence from KICK THE CAN, without the Scat Man, is different enough compared to the other version to make it interesting.
Expansion Perfection.

I've just remembered something else about the film.
At the beginning of IT'S A GOOD LIFE, there's a scene where the kid's bike collides with the lady's car and it has always fascinated me because it is SO REALISTIC.
I would replay the scene again and again when I was younger, amazed how nobody got hurt while it was filmed.

Agreed 100 %, Kev! An absolutely brilliant score by Mr Goldsmith.

That's true... perfect album of one of Goldsmith's best scores ever.

Revisiting this score in light of the scary movie season. I admit to not having listened to this score much outside of the end credits suite but this album really endeared itself to me over the last few days as I've been listening during my commute. I echo the praise--Goldsmith was always a master of details but the episodic nature of this score really shows his range--not something you would get the opportunity to hear much of in motion picture scoring.
Plus the eyeball disc is pretty cool too!

I echo 100% of the October 15th posts so far. It's as lovely and energizing as it is brilliant.
