Intrada Soundtrack Forum

ALW, who is one of the biggest composers alive today in musical theater and known for works such as "The Phantom of The Opera" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" wrote original scores for a couple of films in the early 70s just when his career was taking off. These films are "Gumshoe" (1971), and "The Odessa File" (1974). As far as I can tell from Discogs, "The Odessa File" only got a soundtrack released on vinyl in '74 in select countries, and "Gumshoe" didn't receive any official releases of the score apart from a 7-inch single of the main theme. I think it would be sweet to have official remastered releases of both of these scores, as these are ALW's only original scores from films not based on one of his musicals, and as he is one of the most successful and well-known living composers today, it would be interesting to take a glimpse back at some of his "lost" early works.
