This website has alot of errors and misspellings and score years are off. Mobsters came out in 1991, not 1990 for example. Otherwise, it's an interesting site.

This CD was not recalled. They simply pressed very few copies. I remember this score being cited specifically in an interview with Null and/or Kraft as an example of how few soundtrack buyers there really are. Pressing a very small number of CDs – remember that this was a film and composer of very specific appeal – was not uncommon for Varese at the time. And remember, they also were pressing LPs in 1988, so this was also issued on vinyl.

I think its rarity contributes mightily to its appeal, so I wouldn't think a reissue would be a sure-thing for a label. That said, nothing seems too obscure these days, so for people who want this, there's always hope.

I have dozens of Varese CDs with misprinted tracklistings. Off the top of my head, the first CD pressing of "RoboCop," "Bat 21," and "Pee-wee's Big Adventure/Back To School" all have inconsistencies between the printed listings and what's actually on the CD. None of those were recalled. Neither was "The Serpent and the Rainbow."

I would rather see a release of Fiedel's music to,

Fright Night
Fright Night Part II
True Believer
Gladiator "92"

and an expanded LP to CD release of my personal favourite LET'S GET HARRY.



I think Serpent And The Rainbow is one of Brad's weaker scores.
It works well in the movie but not on a CD by itself.
Never been to happy about horror scores.
But thats just my taste.
