Does this score or any portion of it appear on CD? I haven't been able to find even a single track of it on CD. I’ll be trying to talk John & Anna into doing a complete recording of this score for our Tribute label some day. It’s probably my favorite Alfred Newman score, and the suite I did years ago doesn’t even come close to presenting all of the great music in that score. My hands were tied with the amount of time on the disc I was given, so I tried to fit all of my favorite bits, but had to make a lot of cuts here and there. Also, I'd like to conduct it myself this time, obviously. Keep your fingers crossed that Mysterious Island & Fahrenheit 451 sell well for us, so we can do things like Gunga Din.

.....Also, I'd like to conduct it myself this time, obviously..... Thank God! A complete Stromberg-Morgan GUNGA DIN would be wonderful! Can't wait! When do you start recording?  The two old Newman/Darby recordings from the '50s, THE MAGIC ISLANDS and PORTS OF PARADISE are also favorites of mine in another vein. How about, one day, considering a recording called NEWMAN IN THE TROPICS, which might include new stereo recordings of his music from MR. ROBINSON CRUSOE, THE HURRICANE, TRADE WINDS, SON OF FURY, and anything else which might fit the concept?

The original 1939 Main Title track from GUNGA DIN was released on Rhino's 1997 COMPOSED BY: CLASSIC FILM THEMES FROM HOLLYWOOD'S MASTERS (R272847). This single track (number 4), composed and conducted by Alfred Newman, plays 1 minute 47 seconds. A Morgan/Stromberg digital reconstruction of the entire score would certainly find its way into my iPod.

What a lovely gatefold LP. I've never been able to find The Magic Islands, I hope that gets reissued on CD sometime.

I'd love to see a complete Gunga Din.

I think that John and Bill have said that it's something they want to do in the future.

I too would love to see John & Bill record a complete Gunga-Din. It's one of Alfred Newman's best scores. We must all support their new label and buy all of their CDs as they come out. We all want the series to continue for a long time. The Herrmann stuff just doesn't interest me, not at a premium price anyway. What was great about the naxos stuff is it was only 10 bucks so I didnt mind "blind buys" so to speak. I'll definitely be placing my orders for PRINCE AND THE PAUPER and CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE, though. Probably SHE as well.

Mark Of Zorro, another Newman score that really could use a new recording.

Just remember that they don't do windows, and get every other Thursday off.
