Bespin 8,480 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 17 minutes ago, Jay said: I have no idea. Ok, I started to make some search on Screen Archives by example, there's a lot of titles. I was not familiar with Jerry Goldsmith's work... I'm counting quickly on his wiki page more than 150 film soundtrack albums... Impressive! I think it beats John Williams. Obviously, many JW scores have to be expanded yet.

Thor 7,501 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Yes, Goldsmith has done more films than JW. But JW is still alive, and has the chance to overtake him if he ups his game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,480 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Many Goldsmith's scores seems to have been released by specialized labels, so often few or many years after the release of the movies. Is the majority of his scores where previously unreleased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well Williams had the 15 year Boston Pops tenure that greatly limited his film score output and then 10 years after that he mostly retired in general. I don't see him catching up Goldsmith any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,501 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I have no idea. I would guess the majority of Goldsmith's film titles have had regular, commercial soundtracks (first). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. 10 minutes ago, Jay said: No. Ok so he always released albums containing his scores (a little bit like Williams), even in the sixties and seventies. Ok I see that on Discogs. Many LPs... It's a shame that nobody seems to have created a website for his original discography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 On another hand, his recording career never was as successfull as Williams's. He has no certifications in the USA (https://www.riaa.com). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,501 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Certainly. As others have said, he had no equivalent to Boston Pops. Nor was he as active as a sessions musician and arranger as JW back in the day. His concert music output is also fairly limited. But he was on JW's level when it came to TV score output, I believe.

Well, okay, it seems to be legit and contains all the material, so John Williams still created a LP-length program for this one. Let's see the following score... 1991 Hook? South Korea again in 1992... JFK too... a LP in Germany.... ok. So it would be... 1992 Far and Away? I don't find any LP release for this one.
