Aaah!... There you are 'observer' email. I'm glad you're here!

You're right, little substance and an abundance of dead boring trading posts recently.

But back to the point.

You want unreleased cool scores from your favourite decades...?

I say MR. MAJESTYK.

I'd love to make an addition to my collection of the music from the Dean Martin Matt Helm series. A nice compilation of the music from "The Silencers ('66)" by Elmer Bernstein, "Murderer's Row ('66)" by Lalo Schifrin, "The Ambushers ('67)" and "The Wrecking Crew('69)" both by Hugo Montenegro. May our wishes come true.

Now that you mentioned it Urs I noticed that a few scores by Charles Bernstein have been released. I wonder why ''Mr. Majestyk'' never received any type of an official release. It is not the first time I've read a request for this one.

Anyway, any score from a Charles Bronson movie like "The Mechanic" will be a big welcome on my part.

Charles Bronson and Lee Van Cleef going way back were (and still are) special.

Intrada will be releasing three more scores this coming week including a 70's title, an old fasioned orchestral piece from a film set in the ancient times (???) and a much requested thriller score.

I doubt this 70's title will be "Mr. Majestyk".

serifiot, December 5, 2007; 6:49 PM

Yeah, I don't think either that MR. MAJESTYK will be Intrada's new release. Too few people voice the wish to have it released. You might even find that all the requests for MR. MAJESTYK that you have ever seen have been written by myself ;-)

This has certainly been a magnificent year for us film score nerds! I'd hoping next year will bring us the likes of GOONIES, BACK TO THE FUTURE, GREMLINS, and many more.

Happy holidays, amigos!

I worked on the dub of a film in the late 60s called "Country Dance", which starred Peter O'Toole, Susannah York and Michael Craig - according to the Halliwell Film Guide it was also known as "Brotherly Love". Once we had finished the dub, I never heard of it again and I'm not sure whether it even went on general relrease. But John Addison wrote a very sensitive score for this film which I'm certain was never issued. If it had been, I'd have bought it. So that would be my request.

"The Out Of Towners" (Quincy Jones) would be great as well as "Last Of The Red Hot Lovers" (Neal Hefti). Two great Neil Simon comedies.

I remember seeing "The Out Of Towners" at the drive in with father and brother when I was kid. After the Ohio couple survive the NY ordeal and are on their way back home the plane is highjacked to Cuba. We saw the film several times as it made the rounds at the drive in. Some prints had the highjack scene edited out.

I remember walking through the busy and traffic jammed streets amongst the hookers wearing their stenchful rainbow colored satin hot shorts and eight inch platform cork heels and pimps wearing polyester suits and big daddy feathered hats and drug pushers and drug addicts tripping on their heroin 'high' going to the cinema to watch "Black Sunday".

For some odd reason I thought I was going to watch Bava's "Black Sunday" but once I was in the theater the other "Black Sunday" with Shaw was playing instead.

Watching Bava's "Black Sunday" on the BIG screen would have been an awesome experience.

Of course watching the other "Black Sunday" was no problem with my folks who were escorting their wide eyed little monster kid since they seemed to enjoy this action film more than I did.

Anxiously and stubbornly I was waiting for a bosomy breathing Barbara Steele to jump out of the blimp staring at me with that horrific stare.

The most impressive thing about this movie was the music.

Eons later I had realised that the same man who had scored "Jaws" and "Star Wars" had also scored "Black Sunday".

"Black Sunday" is one film score that should see the light of day by finally receiving a complete or at least expanded digitally remastered treatment for all film music geeks like myself.

seri, please correct the tracklist you submitted for UNE CHAMBRE EN VILLE. Your timings for tracks 01.09, 01.10, 02.03, 02.07, 02.08, 02.09, 02.10, 02.11, 02.12 and 02.13 are all wrong.

At a ghetto Chicago theatre in 1977 my two brothers, one of their wives and a best friend and I saw on a double bill, "Shampoo" with Warren Beatty and "Taxidriver" for 25 cents a ticket.

Sitting next to my brother Fred (who was shit faced drunk at the time) was a very strange person who seemed to be taking the DeNiro flick to heart. The last I heard from Fred he was living in Holland.

Walking up and down the isle every 5 minutes or so with a flashlight was a security guard who looked like George Foreman in his prime.

Ah what the hell? It was only a quarter.

victoravalentine, December 8, 2007; 5:39 AM

Urs... what are the correct timings for these tracks you have specified?

serifiot, December 7, 2007; 8:20 PM

Well, seems you just retyped the timings from the LP...

Anyway.

01.09 1:40
01.10 3:55
02.03 6:35
02.07 4:15
02.08 3:44
02.09 6:11
02.10 3:28
02.11 4:51
02.12 1:45
02.13 3:18

handstand, December 8, 2007; 5:20 AM

Well, I got these timings from the CDs...

handstand, December 8, 2007; 9:52 AM

I had noticed that you have the cd soundtrack. Some of the timing discrepancies were way off. Anyway, I submitted the changes. The LP timings must be incorrect now. If there are track timings on the cd inlays, there is a possiblility that these track timings are printed wrong. If indeed there are track timings on the inlays, did you cross-check with your cd player or PC? Let me know via email if more discrepancies are present. Cheers!
