Hi Conrad. Great work. I'll have to update my related post of "improvable" Goldsmith titles over at FSM soon (think I'll wait to see if Hoosiers comes out first):
http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts ... &archive=0Some suggestions/corrections:
1. I wouldn't say for Hour of the Gun, "UNRELEASED (2012 Prometheus/Tadlow re-recording is available)" -- after all, that seems to ignore the album that came out in the 60s (and which was reissued on CD by both Intrada and Varese). According to Doug this is not the film recording but a re-recording very faithful to the film orchestrations (aside from the semi-pop re-arrangement of the main theme, which the new Prometheus/Tadlow also recreates). If there's some way you can make note of both recordings that'd be good but surely even if you only make note of the most complete recording (the Tadlow) you can't say or ever have said "UNRELEASED" for this score.
2. Intrada recently cut out City of Fear at the same time as Step Out of Line/Brotherhood of the Bell, which you can see if you follow the link you provided (not sure if they or 2 Days in the Valley are available elsewhere though). And I'd point out that Rent-A-Cop will soon be joining those three...
3. Face of a Fugitive was 1959, not 1957 (it was his third score and City of Fear was his second).
4. For Seven Days in May I'm not sure if you'd want to include it or not, but since it's a short score it was included complete as a re-recording on BSX's album, Goldsmith Rarities Vol. 1
5. I think Von Ryan's Express is indeed complete as it's a short score but one could check the iso score on the film release to be sure...I think the Detective situation is similar.
6. I'd change Adrian Messenger, The Salamander, and Take Her, She's Mine, simply to "UNRELEASED" as they haven't been released on any format (they aren't just "UNRELEASED ON CD" like The Lonely Guy or Sebastian).
7. As I just indicated, Sebastian isn't "UNRELEASED" but was in fact released on LP by Dot Records, though its only CD release has been on the semi-bootleg Harkit label. Lukas Kendall told us to avoid that release because somebody was putting together a superior, licensed version of the score...hope that's still happening:
http://soundtrackcollector.com/title/21171/Sebastian8. The Last Run is most certainly NOT complete and Lukas Kendall (who put out the reissue on FSM) stated that the original film recording was lost and that the existing album program was an abbreviated re-recording (ie, the same situation as with the original Hour of the Gun)
9. The Going Up of David Lev is on the other hand indeed complete.
10. Twilight's Last Gleaming is indeed incomplete (though missing very very little music).
11. MacArthur was released on LP, an (incomplete) re-recording rather than film tracks if I'm not mistaken, in 1977, reissued on CD by Varese.
12. Lonely Guy was released on LP and cassette only at the time of the film (1984) and did have Goldsmith cues on it, but only a little over 5 min. plus a song he worked on. You are indeed correct about it being unreleased on CD, and could certainly warrant an expansion:
http://soundtrackcollector.com/title/28 ... Guy%2C+The13. I believe The Vanishing is complete and I think Poltergeist II may be as well.
14. I was told at FSM's board that Six Degrees of Separation was in fact expanded for the album release, so it's more than complete as compared with the film.
There are probably more corrections that other people could help you with as I'm not sure that Jerry actually wrote original scores for all the things you list, but as I don't have conclusive knowledge I can't boss you around on those.

I would make the final suggestion though that even though you're avoiding unreleased TV series music (though Crimebusters is kinda a cheat) I think it would be good to make room in the list if possible for all of his TV music that HAS been released (ie. Man from U.N.C.L.E., Jericho, and especially his substantial work for Dr. Kildare).
