As a tribute to the great FSM Message Board posts by Recordman in which he shared so many wonderful and obscure soundtrack LP covers, we are running a series of posts on another often-overlooked aspect of film music collecting, sheet music.
We continue our series of sheet music covers with the works of RANDY NEWMAN.
THE FLIM-FLAM MAN (Theme From) music by Jerry Goldsmith lyric by Randy Newman
THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG music and lyrics by Randy Newman Note: Music Book
RUN SHADOW RUN (Cover Me Babe) Music by Fred Karlin lyrics by Randy Newman
TOY STORY/TOY STORY 2 music and lyrics by Randy Newman Note: Easy Piano Music Book
TOY STORY 3 music and lyrics by Randy Newman Note: Music Book
Also, Now that the sheet music has been unearthed for so many unusual film scores and songs, we have decided to bring in a professional pianist and a few vocalists to plow through the pile and play through a bunch of them.
AND WE WANT YOU TO PICK THE PLAYLIST!
Over the next few weeks look over the sheet music posted by Sheetmusicman and post to this thread http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=97750&forumID=1&archive=0 which titles you would like performed. Want to hear the vocal version of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE? Let us know. Want to hear the piano solo of RUNAWAY? Now's your chance.
We will be recording and filming as many pieces as we can and then post them on YouTube in the next month or so.
Here is a link to a checklist to find what is currently available to choose from listed by composer.

There were actually two songs released on sheet music for RUN SHADOW RUN. Both had music by Fred Karlin, but only one (Cover Me Babe) had lyrics by Randy Newman.
Interestingly, the film was not ultimately released as RUN SHADOW RUN, but as COVER ME BABE which was the name of Newman's song.
Here is the correct cover:
