There are some pre-80's Goldsmith scores I'd be interested in doing CSBs on, if I could find the time, and you named them: Ransom, The Chairman, High Velocity, Damnation Alley. More than that, maybe. The problem with those older films is they are harder to get a hold of and therefore more trouble for me. They aren't available on Netflix and they aren't available on Amazon Instant Video. If you can recommend another way to watch them other than ordering DVDs off Amazon (which I'm not really inclined to do at this point) then let me know, and I'll watch them and CSB them, most likely. If anyone had these films and wanted to mail them to me on loan, I could CSB them and mail them back. At this point, though, the older films are generally tougher to access with ease and therefore tougher to CSB with ease...

I know for a fact that DAMNATION ALLEY is on YouTube. Likewise, THE CHAIRMAN.


Thanks for the hot tip, SBD! This is a big help and brings them closer to CSB. I appreciate it!

Love Field would be great; at least one FSM member has posted about a major highlight cue that was left off the Varese album. And I personally am a fan of Mom and Dad Save the World so I'm looking forward to that too. Fun score!

I'm pretty sure that Fierce Creatures, I.Q., and Six Degrees of Separation are supposed to be the complete scores (or more, in the case of Fierce Creatures). I.Q. for sure because LLL said it was complete on their release of a few years ago. The other two might have some differences between film versions and album versions of cues or something, which I'd be curious to know about, but just thought I'd give you the heads up not to expect more music.

The Russia House, on the other hand, is missing some somewhat-important material which would provide variety from the existing album. Someone already did a breakdown for the missing cues so I think I can save you the time by linking to it:

Big wow, thanks Yavar! You have most certainly saved me a lot of time be bringing all of this info to my attention and helping me zero in on the Goldsmith scores I'm most likely to CSB in the future and which ones I'll probably avoid. I'll especially check out the Russia House missing cues breakdown, and if it's sufficient I probably won't spend time on a CSB because it would be redundant. Pretty sure Legend's complete score info is available online somewhere which takes it out of the running for me as a potential CSB.

I've done some research, though, and there are quite a few pre-80's Goldsmith titles that I'm considering looking at for CSBs...but I haven't finished with the 90's yet either!

Though there is a bad-sounding unmentionable of Legend, I don't believe it is necessarily the complete score. What I linked you to was a detailed rundown of everything in the film.

The Russia House is even more detailed, with an article about the film itself and then a full breakdown of each and every cue with detailed description about what's happening. Basically it's like really extended liner notes for a future complete release. You definitely don't have to bother with that one. smile

On the Academy's new website they have uploaded listings of the holdings in their collection. And there we find the complete official cue list for Jerry's score to The Last Castle (this may not include Mark McKenzie's contribution, and may also omit some alternates):

http://collections.new.oscars.org/Details/Archive/71303064

1-1 "The Castle," 2 pages
1-3 "Irwin Arrives," 3 pages
1-5 "The Cellblock," 1 page
2-1 "My Turn," 2 pages
2-2 "Rain," 2 pages
3-1 "The Rock Pile," 6 pages
3-2 "My Mission," 2 pages
4-1 "No Wall," 1 page
4-2 "The Dog Tags," 1 page
4-3 "Let's Go Ladies," 4 pages
4-5 "The Salute," 2 pages
4-6 "Winter's Report," 2 pages
4-7 "Full Alert," 6 pages
5-1 "Fading Away," 2 pages
5-2 "Military Justice," 3 pages
6-2 "The Count-down," 6 pages
6-3 "Hold Them," 4 pages
6-4 "Taking Command," 7 pages
7-1 "Fall In," 2 pages
7-2 "On the Wall," 2 pages
7-3 "The Flag," 1 page
7-3a "The Flag (part 2)," 8 pages
"Insert," 1 page
7-3a [no title; revised], 2 pages

That "Insert" (and that final "no title" "revised" cue) might account for the "alternate" film version of "The Flag".
