It's a real gem. According to soundtrackcollector, there was a British CD released in 2000, but I'm not sure if it was a quality release, how available it is, etc. Is it still around anywhere?    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:04 AM     By:   ToneRow   (Member) TWINS OF EVIL appears to be out of print; copies of the CD must have been available not too long ago because Buysoundtrax still lists this title in their online catalogue: http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/twofevsoreby.html Copies of other GDI albums of Hammer scores remain in stock, though. http://buysoundtrax.stores.yahoo.net/gdirecords.html I don't own all of them myself, but my understanding is that all the soundtracks from Hammer films are monaural. There's no stereo recording done by Hammer that I'm aware of. They are "quality" releases in that they are not bootlegs, however, don't expect "quality" sound as in recently re-mastered & re-mixed items.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:06 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) According to soundtrackcollector, there was a British CD released in 2000, but I'm not sure if it was a quality release, how available it is, etc. Is it still around anywhere? It was on GDI records. I have it and I love it. Unfortunately I think all GDI CDs are unavailable now. The sound quality of those old Hammer film scores is not stellar and this one may be mono like most of the others, but it certainly doesn't sound bad either. (It sounds better than a lot of the Hammer film scores that got released.) I hope you have luck getting a copy. Cheers    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:23 AM     By:   Last Child   (Member) there's no 'order' button for it on Buysoundtrax, but if you follow the Amazon link from the Soundtrackcollector entry, you can see they're around $45 (ouch). $24 on ebay from UK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TWINS-OF-EVIL-ORIGINAL-MOTION-PICTURE-HAMMER-SOUNDTRACK-3-FREE-PROMO-CARDS-/230853343745?pt=UK_CDsDVDs_CDs_CDs_GL&hash=item35bfee7a01 Bit of a tangent, but is anyone familiar with the double-vampire score on vinyl of "El Vampiro / EL Ataúd Del Vampiro" (Gustavo César Carrión, Klimt Records MJJ306LP)? Why released only on LP in 2010?    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:26 AM     By:   Bill Cooke   (Member) This was the best sounding of all the GDI Hammer CDs, in my opinion. if not stereo, it could sure fool somebody into thinking it was.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 8:44 AM     By:   marcgothic   (Member) I have the CD too and would say that the sound quality is the best of all the GDI released Hammer scores during that period. Also, remember that the Blu-ray has the isolated music and effects track. But if you can get the GDI, by all means you won't be disappointed.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 9:02 AM     By:   dan the man   (Member) Always loved that score ever since i first saw the film years ago on a double feature with HANDS OF THE RIPPER-72- which had another great score by CHRISTOPHER GUNNING.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 12:15 PM     By:   Jameson281   (Member) I hope Buysoundtrax will release some more Hammer scores. They could release HANDS OF THE RIPPER to tie in with the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 2:17 PM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) I think the problem with a lot of the Hammer scores is missing elements. Familiar story, eh? I did have a conversation with John Mansell (an expert on these recordings) about HANDS, but I cannot remember whether he told me this one of the ones that has missing elements or not. Oh, my memory!

I did have a conversation with John Mansell (an expert on these recordings) about HANDS, but I cannot remember whether he told me this one of the ones that has missing elements or not. Oh, my memory! HANDS was listed as forthcoming from GDI at one point. My guess is that GDI just didn't get to it before going out of business and Buysoundtrax doesn't see it as a priority title to get out (if they plan to release any more Hammer titles). But you may be right and the elements turned out to be missing, damaged or mislabeled; it happens. But I'll still cross my fingers and hope that Buysoundtrax releases it and DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE one day.    Posted:   Oct 8, 2012 - 4:04 PM     By:   marcgothic   (Member) About 2 months ago I emailed Buysoundtrax and asked if they planned to release a Hammer for this Halloween. Their answer was "WE'LL SEE" So i guess we'll see. That certainly is better than no we aren't. If I remember correctly, they announced Satanic Rites of Dracula late October last year; so who knows!!!    Posted:   Oct 9, 2012 - 2:01 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) I'd love the Hammer scores to come out faster than one a year. So, if anyone's listening, if you wanna tie in with Halloween each year, how about two a year? :-) Cheers    Posted:   Oct 9, 2012 - 2:09 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) But I'll still cross my fingers and hope that Buysoundtrax releases it and DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE one day. Oh please, yes. James Bernard is the king of Hammer music, yes, but there were some absolutely wonderful latter-day Hammer scores from people like Chris Gunning, David Whitaker and Harry Robinson.
