Since I posted my last my comments I've been able to source a copy of Rosenthal's score on a a promo label (Windermere Music). I have the LP of dialogue highlights but the music only LP was never released in the UK ( Ironically it's produced by the composer and one Douglass Fake!) We all know that whilst downloading albums is ok and convenient the real reason we collect CD is a) there is some residual value to a CD whereas you cannot sell your downloads and b) we all appreciate the work that goes into producing the CD and the very informative booklets. So although it is great to have this CD what I would really like is a definitive edition with both score and dialogue and informative liner notes.
When Tribute Film Classics released Steiner's "The Charge of the Light Brigade" I was strapped for cash and opted for the cheaper download but of course there is no booklet with a download so in the end I ended up getting the CD when funds were available again. So that's the problem with downloads, having the music is only one part of collecting business.
