Finally this has found its way into my CD player. What a fine, fun little score, wonderful main theme. Do not worry about the short duration. It just fits.

Orderd mine from SAE, just waiting for order to ship now.

Do you think they will do MEATBALLS next? or is that a La La Land thing?

I hope its a complete Score & OST 2cd release if it does happen

Would love to see a new remastered Airplane.

Don't know the movie, have really slowed down on picking up new releases of older scores. But I enjoyed the clips and really kind of dig that 80's soundtrack sound - I don't know that much of this really screams Elmer B to me, but it's still great.

The opening piece makes me think of First Monday in October - I think it's just the combination of sweet orchestrations and the then-contemporary rhythm section. Anyway, it gives me a warm nostalgic glow.

I think I'm really regretting not picking up Legal Eagles, another film and score that was under the radar for me.

Sampled it. Pretty nice, although not sure it's something I'll seek out to own. Seems to be in that "school sound"-style that you can also hear in Williams' THE PAPER CHASE or Elfman's BACK TO SCHOOL and SUMMER SCHOOL.

I think it has a wonderful theme for the college, just wonderful. One of the bigger surprises so far this year.

My Quartet Sale package arrived today and first up to bat was...THIS.
I've never known 22 minutes (the run time of the actual film score) fly by so fast.
It's lovely Elmer Bernstein music, in his unmistakeable style.
Nice, romantic Love Theme, catchy fluid travel/on the move Main Theme and some choice development scoring.
Not played the Source/Alts yet.
Another winner from Quartet.

Mine is expected today and I too am looking forward to giving this a spin this evening.

Mine came today too- fkn 8am!
Incidently the notes were by Alan Smithee but he wanted no connection to the Goldsmith book.

While there was nowt much in the Source section to make me wanna play it again, there are some nice Bonus cues that will flesh out the run time to nearer 30 minutes, so it will be like an old VS-CD in many ways, only courtesy of Quartet.

Wrong… there even is a booklet with liner notes. Something we never had with old 30 minute Varese stuff, plus… Varese always left off a lot, Quartet did not.

Well, they did a typo worthy of Varese Sarabande in the see-through bit of the front case tag-line bit.

Well, as they say, "No new is good new!"

Haha. Indeed Zoob.
But, as always, it's the music that counts.
And this one is real authentic Elmer Bernstein goodness.
So glad it finally got released.

If you listen closely, Bernstein recycled a small section of the main theme for FAR FROM HEAVEN. Go to 2:15.
