The Amazing Mr Blunden - Elmer Bernstein.

Does anyone know if the recordings for this soundtrack still exist in some dusty vault somewhere?

This score is my all time top favourite since I saw the movies in the cinema back in the 70's and would dearly give my right arm to get a copy of it on CD.

Does anyone know if any soundtrack label has ever looked into getting this one released?

Looking at passed treads on this discussion board, there has been loads of folks interested in this one.

Any Comments ?

It's an Elmer Bernstein score, and a more popular one at that, so I'm sure it has been looked into.

Given that the film was produced by Hemdale Film, this would be an MGM property now, correct? Considering the changing of studio hands, I'm not optimistic about the prospects for original elements.

Maybe my armchair comment will get a knowledgeable label producer to chime in. :wink:

I wish someone would release this score. It's been on my list for quite a while.

Roger,
You said that Licensing has been a challenge. The terms "has been" are past tense! Does this possibly mean that you could be making my Christmas!
You surely would make my year if this gem got an airing:-)

It still all sounds very positive. Where there is recordings there is much hope:-)
If anyone does release it, a hope for the top notch intrada treatment! You guys rock!

Now on to information about the mini-series Captains and the Kings. Just kidding, even I'm not that greedy for info. :mrgreen:

I have also been looking for this soundtrack for years and really hope a release comes soon. I presumed the tapes must exist because of music used on the 2003 DVD release, on the menus and such.

It seems to be a relatively highly sought-after soundtrack so I hope whatever licensing issues there are can be sorted out.
