I am still loving The Deep. It's still dominating the CD player. And I know there are many, many other composers too....
But being a Barryphile on a high, and noting Roger's comment that anything not already done is not do-able (or words to that effect), I wonder whether the following are at all possible as future releases:
Goodbye Lover, the rejected score. (Fully recorded.) (There's an FSM thread about this one right now.)
USA Today, the TV score. (Would be repetitive, to be fair, but might be a nice bonus on a two-fer.)
Eleanor And Franklin / Eleanor And Franklin: The Whyte House Years. (I can see this one being difficult, but I don't know that's it's not do-able.)
Touched By Love. (A very nice TV movie score, a.k.a. "To Elvis, With Love")
The Black Hole. Obviously. We know the complete score exists. This one must be desirable.
The Legend Of The Lone Ranger. No extra music survives. LP very short. But it is a gem. I'd buy it and I know many others would too.
My Sister's Keeper. OK, not exactly "famous" Barry but it's a very interesting score, more interesting than the average bear might think. I'm pretty sure Silva Screen records had the master tapes for this back in the late '80s.
Game Of Death expanded. The original album was great, but, like The Deep, I think the complete OST would surprise everyone.
The Quiller Memorandum. This is classic Barry. Even a straight LP re-issue must surely be interesting, if well remastered. (Yes, it was released on Varese Sarabande CDs ... TWENTY years ago! ... but it was deleted almost as fast as it came out and is a great rarity. Plus, that Varese CD sounded very hissy. Modern technology must surely be able to do better.)
If any of these scores are known to be dead in the water, because of missing masters, licensing issues, etc, please do tell.
I won't bother dragging up Boom, The Dove, Raise The Titanic, Walkabout, The Wrong Box, The Tamarind Seed, Night Games, etc. The problems with those titles is well known by now.
Cheers
