Hi Henry!

Let`s say a film music label such as Silva Screen for example would do a Bill Conti SPORTS scores compilation from either all or most of his sports movies. And they wanted you as a consultant. And your job would be to pick which track(s) from which scores and you can chose which ones you want and does not have to think about from which studio or which label has the rights to this or that one. And some might be re-recorded and some might be taken from the original existing albums. So how would such a compilation album look like if you get to decide?

And yes all other members on this discussion board are also welcome to contribute with you own choices. Then I might post my choices too.

Hi Tobias, interesting question!smileI would choose tracks from ROCKY, ROCKY II, ROOKIE OF THE YEAR, THE SCOUT, THAT CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON, PARADISE ALLEY, NECESSARY ROUGHNESS and THE PERFECT GAME which unfortunately has never been released. Oh, and his POWER sports theme from the 84 Olympics.

Slight derailment - apologies to the OP...

Henry, I love Conti's orchestral stuff such as The Right Stuff, North and South and Masters of the Universe, but am not a fan of his more "pop" style stuff. I also quite enjoy Broadcast News and remember liking the main title of F/X.

Are there any other Conti scores you can recommend that are purely orchestral?

I'm not Henry, but scores like ESCAPE TO VICTORY and FIST (which is coupled with another lovely orchestral score, SLOW DANCING IN THE BIG CITY on CD), GLORIA, HUCK FINN and, for the most part, his KARATE KID scores are generally full on orchestral affairs.

Hi, how are you?smileHis Imax scores YELLOWSTONE and GRAND CANYON are excellent orchestral scores too! THE COOLANGATTA GOLD is fantastic as well. And FIST is one of the best scores ever!
