It always surprises me when I read how well things sell. (Or don't.)
And so it was Gremlins that made LK quit. Not the moaning on these boards, as some have guessed.
I for one love these insight posts.
Cheers

I love the behind-the-scenes stories, but they can also make me very sad.
We came this close to a 2-disc FSM "Deep In My Heart"?!
Is DIMH therefore the "classic M-G-M musical" that so perplexed us in these great old discussions?
http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=54630&forumID=7&archive=0
. . . Were there perhaps still others?
What other label is most likely to pick up the baton on the partially completed FSM DIMH?

Vol. 14, No. 17: Frantic (Morricone): We have made 2,000 copies and have 360 in stock...
Glad to read that but I'm bit of surprised by the good sells since it's not a very famous soundtrack (I know people who have never heard of the movie).
But anyway but you can't go wrong with Ennio, quality is quality.
I'm not that surprised. The original cd was very popular, it was sold everywhere here in the Netherlands

It probably did not help sales that Nightwatch is not only an old TV show—and a pilot at that—but a TV pilot that only aired once and is available nowhere on video.
It actually aired twice -- as I mentioned in the liner notes!

I have enjoyed all of these columns, Lukas, and in particular want to thank you for your lengthy discussion of DAYS OF HEAVEN. Very interesting. And what a massive, generous, and brilliantly put-together album of a glorious score! I never thought I would see the day. So many amazing FSM releases, like MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, the Rozsa and Bernstein sets, and on and on, but this may be my very favorite. Thanks again!
It would be nice if Lukas would revisit his first columns on the Fox years of FSM. Those columns were comprised mainly of pressing and inventory numbers, and had little information on the productions themselves.

Vol. 14, No. 6: The Homecoming/Rascals and Robbers (Goldsmith/Horner): We made 2,000 copies and have 378 in stock. (We’ll make more!) See my blurb about Hunters Are for Killing from last column for the long story about the several CBS titles—including The Homecoming—that took a decade to release. The Homecoming is the pilot TV movie for The Waltons, and the only Waltons soundtrack with surviving music masters (sorry to say). It’s a wonderful, lyrical Goldsmith effort, though it does not feature the familiar Waltons theme (which he wrote later for the series). The score is quite short, so we found a pairing from the CBS library: Rascals and Robbers, a Tom Sawyer/Huck Finn-derived tale that James Horner scored immediately prior to Star Trek II…and you’ll be able to tell! (Did Huck get captured by Khan?) Listening to early Horner is amazing—true, the classical influences are all too apparent, but he came to film as a fully formed composer, so talented and astonishingly accurate in his cinematic taste. Rascals and Robbers we found at UCLA complete and in stereo. This is a pretty nifty CD if I do say so myself.
Thanks for the great article Lukas. I received the Homecoming/Rascals and Robbers this past Christmas, and it is one of my favorite releases from FSM. Goldsmith's theme is infectious, and the Horner score is a lot of fun. I highly recommend this to anyone.
