Hello, again!
One of my favorite John Wiliams soundtracks, THE MISSOURI BREAKS, has been released and re-issued on LP and CD countless times, on commercial albums and bootlegs. I simply love it, and the movie is very well made, too. Although it tends to be overlooked.
Clocking in at roughly 35 minutes, the score on album is pretty short. And the film version is very different to the album version (very similar to the situation with "The Eiger Sanction").
In 1999, Rykodisc released an album with 3 additional tracks from the movie version, which amount to almost 9 minutes of bonus music. The same thing was re-issued by Varese in 2004.
I always wondered, how could they release three bonus cues of the score as heard in the picture, when there really shouldn't be any access to stuff like that? I always wondered: Did they have a source the rest of the world doesn't know about? I think Lukas Kendall was involved in the production with this release. They also credit - inside the booklet - a guy called D. Toby Mountain for the additional tracks. He also gets credit for remastering, and they even give an email address: Toby Mountain@NDR
I tried to email the guy. Without effect.
My request is:
If anyone knows more about this situation, or should even have access to that stuff: Don't hesitate to contact me, or post your message here for all of us, please!
It's such a beautiful score. One of Williams's most underrated albums. Like so often with the true classics, I hated this music when I first listened to my worn-out lp. And that changed with every spin, to the better.
You can look it up here:
http://www.soundtrac...hp?movieid=9806
The situation is pretty strange. There seems to be an alternate 1976 lp edit, which features completely different track titles, but seems to be identical in content to the regular album. Maybe originally, they wanted to release a longer album in 1976 (containing film versions), but it didn't happen because the movie bombed? You know, like it happenbed with a lot of Barry albums in the same period. And some alternate film versions from that unproduced album remained?
Or is there a laser disc isolated score I don't know anything about?
Oh dear.
Will we ever be able to listen to the whole thing?
'The Missouri Breaks' - Was there a release with the music as heard in the film?

I'm confused. Was the soundtrack a rerecording? I was always under the assumption it was the original.

Yes, my dear Thor!
Like many of the scores of that era, the music on that album was not exactly the same version that was used in the picture. Just compare both available Main Titles on the Rykodisc. Just like Eiger Sanction, Jaws, The Fury or Dracula, the album presentation differs from the movie version to a high degree. Apart from, of course, more music in the film than on the album, the album is up to 60 % rearranged stuff.

Oh.
Well, it's a fine album in its own right (I'm not usually very concerned about having the exact same performance as in the film).

I love it!
And ... out of sight, out of mind ... is how I perceive it as well, usually. But knowing for sure that somebody did have access to the masters a couple of years ago, just makes me lust for more of it. More I say!
Love these opening riffs.-
Do you enjoy it, too, Thor?
Which rhymes with "tutor"...
I have a serious lady boner for this soundtrack.

The film, you mean?
Yeah, I like it. It stars my favourite actor Jack Nicholson, and to see him up against another favourite, Marlon Brando, is a treat enough in itself. To then have my favourite composer top it all off is a bonus indeed!

The score is a strange mix. On the other hand there is the Morricone styled off-kilter Western vibe to the score and then there is the almost jazzy/bluesy softer side with the love theme which sounds stylistically similar to Williams' A Man Who Loved Cat Dancing. Both scores also share sparse small ensemble scoring which makes them sound rather intimate. It is a different side of Williams' Americana which he brings back for Rydell's The River and later in the 90's in Singleton's Rosewood.
I do have a soft spot for the excellent main title music with that thumping bass line and bluesy harmonica solo, so evocative and bad-ass. The music also has a lot of humor for the rustlers which is fun as it counter balances the psychotic music for Brando's off-the-wall bounty hunter with those harpsichord and wind machine effects.
Damn, now I absolutely have to listen to this again once I get back home.
We can always hope that some label will release the film recordings one day. I would imagine the actual film score coupled with the OST CD would be a great set.

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

It's a good score, although some of the goofy harpsichord stuff ("Bizarre Wake") can get on my nerves if I'm not in the right mood. I need to listen to it more often.

The love theme is one of Williams' most tender and, well, loveliest.
"It's still baffling to me. I sit down with a pencil and a piece of paper and do my best... The remarkable thing is that my music is heard by billions of people." --John Williams
"Let me say, however, there is no "next" John Williams. Sadly, he is unique--- a figure who simultaneously embodies and transcends the music of all the masters of film music who preceded him (much like Brahms and Wagner of the Romantic era). He comes from a time when the craft of music in film was still one of the ear, heart and mind. Today, sadly, the craft is largely technical. Most composers do not conceive their music "inwardly" but rather at the computer--- and with rather limited skills, musically, at that. The inner spirit knows no boundaries--- our plastic abilities, sadly, do. John is a man of spirit, heart, intellect and soaring music." -- Conrad Pope about John Williams

The most criminally under-discussed work by John Williams is Thomas and the King, because it's his only musical and it's quite good.

Glad somebody on this board likes it (or at least part of it)! Out of curiosity, which songs are "godawful"? Some are better than other's for sure, but I wouldn't call any of them bad (although "'Tis Love" can get on my nerves sometimes). I'll concede that about a third of the lyrics suck.Indy4, it's funny that you like it, too. It has some wonderful songs in it. And some godawful songs, too. It's clearly a case of 50/50.

This is one of the stronger songs from "Thomas":
Pure Williams - the whole underscore. Just like Goodbye Mr. Chips, which is, I think, superior.
There's a tune from a forgotten Barry musical, Passion Flower Hotel, that I love, too: It's called "How much of the dream comes true". It's not even on youtube, but I've got the rare CD. Check it out!
There will be violins playing
Softly, somewhere, won't there?
I shall be flying through rainbows
Though I can't fly, shan't I?
And when he lowers his lips
To kiss me, surely
The world will be lost from view
How much of the dream comes true?
He'll be the prince
Out of every childhood story, surely
His arms could crush me
But he will hold me gently, won't he?
And as the dawn slowly opens one eye,
Won't I find life wonderful and new?
How much of the dream comes true?
How much of the dream comes true?
John Barry
Trever Peacock
Sung by Francesca Annis

I also find "Thomas and the King" great. I agree with indy4, while some songs aren't top notch, I wouldn't say they suck. Actually, my big problem is with the quality of the singing. Also, sometimes the lyrics fall a little short -- guess Williams worked with some better lyricist than James Harbert.

Well, I'm glad THOMAS AND THE KING has some fans. I utterly dislike it -- the melodies, the singing, the lyrics....it's grating, in much the same way as that godawful "Tevye's Dream" track from FIDDLER ON THE ROOF (not a Williams track, I know, but still some of the same grating-ness).

I'd love to have the underscore to Thomas and the King, without the singing
I wonder if recording sessions of that exist

I would think that the recording was made with all involved present, meaning, singers and orchestra all playing at the same time.

The released CD is a rerecording, so they probably didn't include any of the non-vocal stuff.I'd love to have the underscore to Thomas and the King, without the singing
I wonder if recording sessions of that exist

Indy4 is right. The version on disc was recorded around 1981/1982. Some six years later.

I haven;t listened to it in a while , but the orchestrations of the underscore seemed more in line with Williams 80's style than his early 70's stuff
