BTW.

If I remember correctly, Harrington and David Raksin were friends. Raksin wrote the scores for Harrington feature debut Night Tide and What´s the Matter with Helen? The latter is (IMO of course) one of the best Raksin has ever written. There was also a LP of this, which seems to be ultra rare.

Speaking of Harrington and rare scores, IIRC there was never a score album released of Robert Prince's atmospheric work on Curtis's excellently eerie TV flick, THE DEAD DON'T DIE. Prince did a lot of great series and movie work back in the Seventies.

The Dead Don´t Die! Another flick on my want list.

Another fine (and eerie) score from Prince is Gargoyles. Classic eerie 70s horror score complete with harpsichord and "pagan" flute.

That´s the problem.

Same goes for most of the TV-composers of the 60s and 70s. I love the work of Gil Mellé and Billy Goldenberg. But beside The Andromeda Strain or Duel, Columbo and Night Walker, there isn´t much mass appeal.

Same goes for Les Baxter. Sure thanks to his arrangements and exotica albums he has a legendary status. But even his Exotica and Space-Age-Pop albums are largely unreleased, because there is only small niche for this kind of music.

I think the GHOST STORY CD from Varese is still available, isn't it ? Or at least used to be recently. A good score from Sarde (no surprise in that!).

THE CARDINAL is one of my favorite scores. Truly magnificent work, unfortunately the German CD which I have (Tsunami) has only half of the original LP. I know there's an RCA CD which has the same as the LP, but I still tend to think there must be many more music in the movie which is very very long - perhaps enough to fill a whole CD ?

The RCA release is still available from RCA Spain- try Footlight Records- That's where I got my Summer and Smoke and Fielding's Advise and Consent- which I might add is excellent, far better than I remembered when I had the lp.

If I would hold a film scores label like Intrada, I would release so many things I love :

So many Silvestri obscure & non obscure stuff (since he's one the most unreleased composers) :

Back to the Future (Alan Silvestri)
American Anthem
Mac & me
My Stepmother is an Alien
Super Mario Bros
Blown Away
Mission Impossible
The Magic Box
Stuart Little
Stuart Little 2
Lilo & Stitch
The Polar Express
...

So many Bruce Broughton still unreleased :

Stay Tuned
First Olympics
The Monster Squad
Moonwalker
Timekeeper
The Rescue

And other fabulous unreleased scores that come to my mind :

Short Circuit (David Shire)
The Rare Breed (John Williams)
Lilo & Stitch 2 (Joel McNeely)
Benji The Hunted (Betty & Euel Box)
Ducktales the movie (David Newman)
Superman IV (Alexander Courage & John Williams)
The Goonies (Dave Grusin)
War Games (Arthur B. Rubinstein)
Honey I Shrunk the Kids (James Horner)
Gremlins (Jerry Goldsmith)
Fire & Ice (Richard Kraft)
Sky High (Michael Giacchino)
Mighty Ducks series (David Newman and JAC Redford)

Only four ?? Oh Damn it !! And obscure ??? Gees...

Let's say :
American Anthem
Stay Tuned
Short Circuit
The Rare Breed

LOL, yeah actually THE BAT PEOPLE was on MST3K if that says anything.



But it's certainly an obscure one!

Looks like the "Bat People" at least have good taste in women. ("Taste" - hee hee)
