I saw this movie again yesterday, and I realized how much great score material by Patrick Leonard is in the film, it's not just the Live To Tell theme, but also some dynamite action/tension material among other things.

Will we ever see a release of this score?

I think labels like La La Land and Varese CD Club definitely should check this one out. It's been 23 years!

I'll have to rent that sometime. It looks like a good character-driven story.

Here is a brilliant 7:29 suite of the score:

One of my favorite films from that time period, great performances. Never understood why the music never got a release.

I bought a 45 rpm at the time of Madonna's song which had the Instrumental version on the flipside. That was the closest to having the soundtrack.

I believe the complete score is here in this sharing, running under 8 minutes exluding the song itself which was used as the End Title music.

Great stuff by Leonard.

The suite is far from the complete score. As I mentioned there is some great tension material, and a terrific cue when Sean Penn washes off the blood stains towards the end. Plus several other cues, some in a funky vein. After all, the film runs for 110 minutes.

Yes, a track called "Murder", from the drowning of Lester.

There's a neat compilation CD called THE BEST OF HEMDALE from 1991 that also has the instrumental version of Live to Tell (4:10) by Patrick Leonard. The CD has the advantage of being mastered by the renown Steve Hoffman and contains some other interesting items like a unique synth version of Goldsmiths's HOOSIERS theme, two tracks from Fiedel's TERMINATOR and a couple of tracks by Delerue - all originals and not cover versions.

and another track, similar to the beginning of that suite. Plus Madonna's song and other Leonard film score tracks (WITH HONORS, etc)

I just dug the HEMDALE CD out and as far as the HOOSIERS tracks are concerned - aren't they both on the existent TER release?

Ah, the danger of going by memory instead of pulling out the CDs to check. I believe the second HOOSIERS rack on the Hemdale CD, "Welcome to Hickory" (8:48) is unique to this compilation and not on the TER release. Steve Hoffman's mastering is so good I thought that the main themes were also different. But check me on the second track. I don't think that one's on the full score unless it's some kind of edit.

Well, that 8:48 is what threw me, because on my copy of the Hemdale disc the sleeve says 8:48 but the track only runs 3:52, and I think it's the second half of TER's "The Finals".

I'm lovin' the en mass Pat appreciation here! I only wish Madonna's vacant minded fans would voice their collective appreciation for his work too, then she might return to selling good music.

Dear Sir,
You mentioned in one of your posts that five minutes of the "At Close Range" score could be found on Patrick Leonard's Film Music promo. I have had no luck locating it--can you help me please? I love the score to this film.
Thank you,
Kishido
