Melchior: you're right, I had completely forgotten about Vampire Circus already having been released, albeit in mono and fairly brief.... oh well, there's still the great little (re-recorded) suite on the earlier Silva Hammer album. And I too second the vote for Hands of the Ripper, along with Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde .
Regarding Baxter: I suppose any CD releases would be welcomed, I would just hope they would be more listenable than the Citadel Cry of the Banshee is. I am actually a big fan of the Corman Poe films, and the scores are very good and highly functional. Apart from them.... I honestly wouldn't know, since there isn't one that's been released unless you include the above mentioned album. But I still would rather see an expanded release of Master of the World.
Who composed the score for the Ken Russell film THE DEVILS?
On the subject of Cry of the Banshee, I agree that the Josephs score is fairly subdued compared to Baxter's, but I suppose what it comes down to is that it's really a bad, unpleasant film any way you cut it.
I don't like that film, and this is coming from someone who LOVES Witchfinder General and even The Bloody Judge (despite the really really fake blood splashed throughout-- I didn't know blood was SO ORANGE-ISH! and SO THICK!!).
I would like to see a couple more Harry Robinson scores released, including The Oblong Box , and a compilation of the best cues from some of the Amicus anthology films, by....?
Finally, I agree that James Bernard scores are better experienced as part of the films than apart from them, with the exception of Taste the Blood of Dracula and She.
