Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Hi,

My first time posting here I have been a soundtrack collector for many years and have been paitenly waiting for what I consider to be a criminally overlooked score to get a release. I am ofcourse talking about Bill Conti's excellent work on Private Benjamin. This has never had any form and release and richly deserves the full Intrada treatment.

I don't know this score. Never heard of it before. Could you give us more details about it ? What kind of music it is ? some extracts maybe ? Thanks.

It's a militaryesque score with an 80s sound to it, with the main theme being quite a stirring march. It's very similar in tone to the score Bill Conti also did for "Escape To Victory" (1981) which was released the year after "Private Benjamin" (1980). There is unfortunatley not much of it about as it was never released but I have managed to track down the main theme on the tube of you. Hope you enjoy it as much as me.

I too love this score and started a thread on it on FSM.
