Because I have a feeling that producers are looking at our wishes and mine are covered almost I will post my last remaining holy grails again, which are not that many anymore:
CHARLY VARRICK
Charley Varrick and The Beguiled together on a CD would be very nice indeed.

I'm still waiting for "Please-Please-Please!" Great score that has never been released in any format, and I honestly thought by the title of this thread Intrada already released it. I remember reading somewhere that Roger Rabbit was supposed to star in an animated adaptation of this called "P-P-P-P-P-P-lease!" but it never got past the script stage.

No Spike Lee's "Please Baby Please Baby Please Baby Baby Baby Please" = no sale!

Question for Roger and Doug:
A few years ago, you mentioned you had a Max Steiner score planned for release. Is this still in the works or has this been canceled?

It was planned but that particular licensor has pretty put a hold on any catalog licensing for now.

Could that particular licensor be Baroda Productions? If yes, then we certainly won´t see a release of Steiner´s THE HANGING TREE in the future. What a pity.

Is there ANY Golden Age planned at all?
You mean besides a certain score they’re rerecording that came out a couple years before Ben-Hur?

I didn’t think 1957 was generally considered to be Silver Age, no matter who the composer was. The studio system was still in full swing, Alfred Newman was still head of music at 20th Century Fox, etc. I do hear hints of more modern sensibilities in the score, to be sure, but it also sounds like a 50s score and wasn’t particularly pushing the envelope in quite the same way as a Leonard Rosenman or even Alex North 50s score, for example. In fact I’d say Hugo Friedhofer and Alfred Newman were pushing the Golden Age into the Silver Age as far back as the 40s… and I’d even argue that Aaron Copland beat them to it in 1939 with his very spare (as opposed to the standard lushness of that decade) score to Of Mice and Men. But are you prepared to call a 1939 score “Silver Age” as well?

I thought Basil and I were having a polite discussion here. It happens sometimes. It starts getting nasty, I’ll bow out — okay with you Kev?

Fair enough, Basil. We don’t have to discuss it here since you clearly don’t want to.
