Hi Joshua!

I'm afraid that, for the moment, it is impossible. Both films belong to Paramount Pictures and they are not interested in releasing old soundtracks or licensing them for release. It's a pity!

Regards,
Angel

I have also been looking for the Parrallax View score for a good few years. I finally decided to make my own. I've put together a 12 track / 21min score using the audio from the US DVD. some tracks were simple such as the montage sequence or the end credits, other parts I had to remove the speech and as many sound effects as I could and piece parts together using an audio multisequencing program. I tried to achieve a happy medium between getting the cleanest, but longest, score possible. Some parts still have some sound light sound effects such as footsteps but nothing distracting. I have also left in both inquiry speeches, as simply, I really like them.

Anyone who wants the free link to this can contact me at rob@seenoevil.aquiss.com, BUT YOU WOULD NEED TO OWN THE ORIGINAL DVD FIRST (in which case this would be something you could do yourself if you had the software & knowhow), otherwise it would just be simple piracy.

I appreciate this post might fall foul of the 'no bootlegs' rule, but as I've been on the lookout for this score for so long, and I put so much effort into putting this project together, I thought it was really worth posting all the same.

I posted about my above fanmade soundtrack for 'The Parallax View' here a good while back, and have had 1-2 requests a month for copies with some great feedback. Well, I recently spotted that 'Film Score Monthly' has just released a double bill soundtrack CD containing full scores to both 'Marathon Man' and 'The Parallax View'. You can view & order it here;
