As this has only ever been available on a very hard to find Prometheus composer promo, it is time for a new release. When I originally saw the poster for the movie, I was intrigued by the credit "Musical Themes by John Barry". It was only later I learned that Barry's material had been "developed" by Ken Thorne (as had happened with THE APPOINTMENT). Interestingly for the U.S. movie release Paramount replaced the instrumental End Credits with a period song. Studio Canal would have the rights to this I assume, and surely the short running time could be complemented by another score from Studio Canal. (Incidentally part of the aforementioned Prometheus promo, has had a subsequent life from Kritzerland (i.e. THE BED SITTING ROOM).
