Intrada Soundtrack Forum

As far as I know, Jimmy Webb's excellent score to The Last Unicorn has only ever had a release (on vinyl and CD) in Germany, where the songs apparently met with some success. The songs, sung by America (with Jeff Bridges and Katie Irving, on the soundtrack release, mercifully replacing Mia Farrow as heard in the film, on two tracks), take up about half of the 40 minute running time of the original release, with Webb's lush orchestral score taking up the rest. However, I'm sure more of the score could be tracked down.

As it is, I know this is a release that holds a ton of nostalgia for people like me who grew up with the film, as well as much interest for all of the Jimmy Webb fans and collectors out there (particularly because the orchestral stuff is like nothing else he has done before, including his few other movie scores, like Voices, which are pop oriented even in their instrumentals). It's also just a great fantasy score. The CD has been long out of print, and has gone for ridiculous prices online for years and years now.

Thanks!

Good suggestion. I’m sure many others would want to own this!
