Intrada Soundtrack Forum

My no: 3 on the Grail List.

Before Cannon was Cannon, the two founders Menahem Golan & Yoram Globus
created a lowbudget cheesy Lee Van Cleef VS Jack Palance western called GOD'S GUN.
The music for this good old western was composed by Sante Maria Romitelli.

Here's a couple of sneak previews of the score from the DVD.








I was in contact with the soundtrack label FIN DE SIECLE MEDIA, about releasing this treasure
of a score since they had released a couple of other Romitelli scores.
They investigated the matter but found out that the masters for GOD'S GUN was missing from the Italian Romitelli Vaults.

But to my surprise the movie was released about a year ago on DVD
in the UK by MGM and had a Cannon logo.



So my hope now lies with INTRADA to make my wish come true.
Maybe Romitelli's score lies within the US Vaults of MGM Cannon.

Try the clips and you tell me if this good'old western is worthy of a
score release before the music is gone forever.

Yeah this is one western score that is in need of the Intrada treatment...
See Freejack has already arranged for the cover and all
A Fun score with so much different themes and cues and I bet it would sell like butter in the sun
Is this a Cannon score for the US, and is it something Intrada has come across in their archeological diggings?
