Question

Does an OST for TIME BANDITS exist?

This is one of my favorite movies from growing up a child of the 80s - "little people hitting each other!!!"

I hope a soundtrack exists, because the music was fantastic - and composed by who else but the Late Beatle, George Harrison! With help from another favorite of mine (being a big Elton John fan), percussionist Ray Cooper.

if anyone has any info on if one exists and how to get myself acquainted with a copy if it does, please email me at: pianoluvr@hotmail.com

Unfortunately no such soundtrack exists (to my knowledge), and such a tragedy is one of the most unforgiveable oversights in film music history, in my opinion.

None exists.

John Du Prez did the music (under the pseudonym Trevor Jones, not to be confused with the south-african film composer). Not George Harrison.

well, I got my info from imdb.com, so who knows how acurate it is. They listed George as the major contributor, as Trevor was also listed. It said Ray Cooper was uncredited - he even has a cameo in the movie: His famous percussion hands are the hands that roll up the Map at the very end before the credits roll...

HandMade films was the production company (belonged to George Harrison). They might have some insight as to where to find a soundtrack.

I have this :-)

Trevor Jones contributed one track for this score. Mike Moran filled in the rest. George Harrison, in addition to producing the film, wrote the end credits song. The original idea was for George to write songs for the whole film, which was abandoned.. and caused a bit of a rift between Mr Gilliam and George

To this day, there has never been any official release of this amazing score

There was a soundtrack made years ago. I last saw it at halfpricedbooks back in '96. I'm still
kicking myself for not buying it. I have never seen one since. But I do have some good news.
A website called intrada.com is rereleasing it. I just bought one.
