Someone I know interviewed the recording engineer who worked on Jerry's Public Eye score - yes one was recorded - and the engineer said it was a very good work.

He might have written some mock-ups, but I am almost 100% positive that nothing was recorded, unlike Two Days in the Valley and Gladiator (the Cuba Gooding film, not the Russell Crowe film).

Nope..
He did indeed record a full score for the the film.
No doubt about it.

Sorry for bumping this one, but it's the only one that came up during a search.
Just throwing it out there that Mark Isham's score for this is still my favorite work of his. Very, very underrated film as well. I'd love for someone to "rescue" the Goldsmith score.

Good call Shaun - I also really love Isham's score, play the album probably more often
than a person should.....and it will be a REAL good day when someone, besides Ford,
gets to hear just what the hell JG did for PUBLIC EYE. No one can even boot this thing!
The Isham is nice and moody, a different way to approach a noir flick without getting all
big band and jazzy - except those damn songs, which aren't bad, but break the flow up...

I agree, but if you delete his big band songs, you get the same three cues repeated several times. They're great, but he didnt write as varied an underscore as, say, The Cooler.
Too bad the movie was released as MOD dvd; only diehard fans will get it, and curious dvd renters wont be able to see it.
Also too bad the Goldsmith score wont be released. I was curious what he did with that 1930s-40s era again.

From what I heard the Goldsmith score wasn't very good. And this was from someone who was very close to him.

I might be able to shed a bit of light here.
Sometime ago a friend of mine (a composer) had a chance to review the written scores of Goldsmith's score to THE PUBLIC EYE for me because I was consider recording the theme for BSX.
He took down the Main Title and did a synth mock up of the piece to give me an idea of what it sounded like.....
And much to my surprise it turned out to the un-used Main Title for TWO DAYS IN THE VALLEY (a film Goldsmith had scored well after THE PUBLIC EYE)
This is a recording that BSX did of "Two Days In The Valley" that will give you a very good idea of what the main title to "The Public Eye" would have sounded like.

(Available worldwide on ITUNES and AMAZON if this link doesn't work for you)
It's worth mentioning that an altered version of this tune would later turn up in his music for "LA Confidential"
So based on this, I would SUSPECT that the score to "LA Confidential" might be cut from the same cloth as the lost score to "The Public Eye"..
And if you think that is bad...
Well, you are entitled to your opinion.

With Universal now open for business could we not have this score released along with his rejected Babe score too?

How awesome would it be if Robert Townson turned up the missing London recording sessions for this score and had it as one of his final Varese Club releases?
