My holy grail of Holdridge's, "Mr. Mom", has yet to be released in any form (Intrada??). Anyway, are there any released scores of his that really stand out? Signature 80s style? Upbeat? I am open to suggestions.
Probably the closest to what you're asking for (signature 80s style, upbeat) is SPLASH. It's grandly orchestral, with a gorgeous Love Theme, but also features light pop rhythm arrangements popular for the time, not unlike MR MOM. There's so much of his stuff unreleased it's a crime. Amongst the many things I'd love to see released is the London LP rerecording of SPLASH, a much fuller and broader recording (Royal Philharmonic) than the lighter Hollywood studio film session.
I was hoping that Dragon's Domain would have released a Volume 2 after their Lee Holdridge Collection Volume 1 a few years ago ,but it doesn't seem like anything is in the works unfortunately.
My Lee Holdridge Holy Grail is still his wonderful score from FRENCH POSTCARDS (1979)
Hopefully someday my dream will come true with it's CD Release and as an extra added bonus will include all those cool French Versions of 60's and 70's American Songs.
The rights/royalties and logistics behind all those songs, zoob, is probably the reason it's never been heard from before!! That, or there ain't no tapes
