Young Guns II: The producers had narrowed it down to Alan Silvestri and Basil Poledouris to score their film. I was working for Morgan Creek at the time and when one of the producers mentioned the two composers, I found myself providing my personal copies of Hunt for Red October, The Abyss and I think Predator. Next thing I know, Silvestri is scoring the film. Later in the process, I was invited to lunch with Mr. Silvestri and the producers, but had to turn it down because it conflicted with my work schedule. Ugh!! Mr. Silvestri was a complete class act and gentleman and I wish I had gotten the opportunity to chew the fat with him, so to speak. In any event, this is a long-winded way of saying I'd LOVE the score to Young Guns II, which was released by Fox, but is probably still owned by Morgan Creek, which is usually territorial about their music and such. Not sure they even HAVE a music label any more. Yeha, it's been a while.

This morning I was listening to a lovely little score by Alan Silvestri which would definitely deserve a decent release : Overboard (1987) starring Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russel. There are some nice moments : rousing action a la Back to the Future, a charming love theme and a great dose of humor and energy !
Pure 80's Silvestri...

Updating the list. Young Guns II off, once again thanks to Intrada !

Overboard can also be taken off:

Done. And ordered !

The Bodyguard and Fandango taken off the list as well...

At this point, count me in for the following Silvestri scores:

American Anthem
Cat's Eye
Blown Away
The Long Kiss Goodnight
Tales from the Crypt episodes
My Stepmother is an Alien
Super Mario Bros.
Sidekicks
Predator 2 with much needed remastering


That should complete my Silvestri collection.

Would looooooooove a complete and remastered Predator 2. The Varese OST is out of phase!

I never got what's the sound problem with Predator 2 Varèse CD.

This might help:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_Of_Phase_Stereo

I know the principle of Out of Phase when applied to Dolby Prologic or for removing the center vocals for karaoke. But how does it apply to Predator 2? Some tracks weren't audible so that they had to use OOPS ? What happened during the recording or the mixing of this score ? How have you detected that ?
