New Jerry Goldsmith Projects in 2021?


Brundlefly

Recommended Posts

RoboCop, The Fury, Brain Damage, and The Train have full-fledged isolated scores, while Thief, The 'BurbsThe Game, and The Long Goodbye have music-and-effects tracks. I'm sure that there are other examples

This is getting out of hand!

 

I just figured, it would be an expansion.


According to Jeff Bond who wrote the notes, yes:

Morituri improved re-release by Intrada

 

This was also a (slight) expansion, featuring around a minute more music than the FSM edition (where it was trimmed because it was damaged).

I always wonder, which minute that actually is.

According to Doug Fake, it was a cumulative minute from various trims here and there throughout the score:

CD was previously released on FSM label with judicious trims to damaged channels of 35mm multi-track recordings. All have been restored with current technology, allowing remastered Intrada release to showcase improved audio restoration.

What an amazing year for Goldsmith releases

I've been focusing in on adding more Jerry to my collection, so this year has been a lot to keep up with so far!

I hope everyone enjoys this episode as much as Jens and I enjoyed our lengthy chat with Douglass Fake of Intrada:

The thing about Doug is... you can kinda put a quarter (or a short question) in him and watch him go. He is just a font of knowledge and anecdotes, we just needed to sorta stay out of his way most of the time and he ended up giving us a lot of gold reminiscences about not only this great album but the early years of Intrada. Over half of this recording intended as a Soundtrack Spotlight went much further afield, so for this podcast episode guest editor Wes Deckers decided to streamline and focus the story about this particular album, and the other half of the conversation with Doug we will save for a later more general interview episode with him.

By the way, anyone interested in getting the new limited CD edition of this great recording...it's apparently going off sale from Intrada this Monday (the 21st), according to their website:
http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.12350/.f


Part of the reason we rushed the editing on this episode was so that over the weekend people could listen to it and decide whether it was worth double or triple dipping, so give it a listen if you're on the fence -- we might convince you either way. Of course anyone who doesn't have some prior edition of this recording NEEDS to get this -- it's the best revisit to his older work that Jerry Goldsmith EVER did, in my not so humble opinion.

Yavar

P.S. David and I also recorded earlier this week on The Public Eye with Doug Fake and liner notes writer Frank DeWald. David is hard at work editing that Spotlight and we'll get it out ASAP. Now if we can just find the time to record on Shamus, Caboblanco, and Looney Tunes: Back in Action... sheesh this year has been an embarrassment of riches for us Goldsmith fans!

The Public Eye Soundtrack Spotlight podcast episode is out! Hope you enjoy; let me know what you think...

We play a ton of samples and even compare the score with the Isham scores for those who might be interested in that.

Well damn, Intrada is seemingly trying to release more Jerry scores this year than any other label will ever do in the history of time.  Wow!

Once they get done expanded all that Goldsmith scores they hadn't expanded yet, they can remaster and reissue all the ones they did!

They can reissue all the faulty releases. Air Force One with the album versions included and without resorting to film stems. U.S. Marshals with a proper artwork and program. Looney Tunes with a less than bone dry mastering. And all without any index issues.:rolleyes:

Let's not forget that there is still this comment from LLL, when they released the last Goldsmith at 20th set:

Quote

Look for more “GOLDSMITH AT 20th” releases coming soon from La-La Land Records!

That's from a while ago and it doesn't sound like they'll let us wait till next year.

Well they recently said that there were more music from Horner (Star Trek II), Williams (please I hope it wasn't Time Tunnel vol.2) and Goldsmith coming this year. So I wouldn't be surprise if there next Goldsmith would be Goldsmith at 20th.

Update on Intrada's new Kickstarter campaign to rerecord Goldsmith's Black Patch (1957) and The Man (1972), two otherwise lost scores...there's a little over four days left in the campaign, and $30 includes shipping for the album and guarantees you get it before anyone else:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/129145902/black-patch-the-man-jerry-goldsmith-new-recording
In the past couple of days it quietly passed the $40,000 mark. With no stretch goals (which could prompt those with deep pockets to increase their pledges), I think that's pretty decent still...$2,000 more after meeting goal during the (often dead) middle weeks of a Kickstarter isn't bad. Dial M went for a pretty lengthy stretch of time (maybe a whole week?) with no new pledges at all. But then it managed to hit goal two days from the end of its deadline, and during those two days it even added on an additional $4,313!

I wonder how many Goldsmith fans are waiting until the last minute on this one, and how the last couple days will compare...

 

Also, reconstructionist Leigh Phillips has shared a couple sample mockups from each score which might interest folks here:

 

The first he shared from The Man was his reconstruction of Hail to the Chief (apparently arranged by Jerry) and the End Credits it transitions into:

And here's that score's liveliest cue:

Now here are two he’s shared for Black Patch -- first up is a fragment of the score’s main action cue:
https://fb.watch/7J3oLcBarV/


And here is his share of the Finale cue, which is a great showcase of Goldsmith’s central theme (and you can really hear his compositional voice in this IMO):

Can’t wait to hear these performed by an orchestra!

Add "Ace Eli" and "Tora Tora Tora" to the 2021 list!

 

https://www.facebook.com/lalalandrecords/posts/10160209597548755

 

Yavar says this about Tora:

On 30/11/2020 at 11:41 PM, Yavar Moradi said:

9/23/70          Tora! Tora! Tora! (The FSM and later remastered LLL editions are both complete.)

 

 

And Yavar says this about Ace Eli:

On 30/11/2020 at 11:41 PM, Yavar Moradi said:

4/1/73            Ace Eli and Rodger of the Skies (I always assumed the 2001 FSM premiere release was complete as their releases usually were, but surprisingly it doesn't explicitly claim to be in the liner notes booklet or on the product page; its pairing on the disc, Room 222, is on the other hand stated to be everything Goldsmith recorded for that series. So perhaps there's room for expansion on this title, however slight, and probably a good chance of improved sound on a reissue, since the bonus section features damaged stereo tracks like the old FSM Towering Inferno did.)

 

MV's blurb says

Quote

Ace Eli is remastered and expanded

Neat pairing with flight as the common thread. Tora! Tora! Tora! is an incredible five star masterpiece.


To be honest I never quite clicked with Ace Eli, not that it was bad or anything. But I would have said the same about FSM’s release of Morituri, and when Intrada reissued (and slightly expanded by like a minute) that score last year with much better sound quality, all of a sudden I “got” it and the score rose in my estimation quite a bit. So I really look forward to revisiting this score, in better sound quality (with two decades of improved tech to help) and a new program overseen by Neil S. Bulk.

 

Still hoping for more significant Fox expansions in the future though in this series — especially Anna and the King and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, two of the greatest gems from the Varese Goldsmith at Fox box which only got a quarter hour each on that and haven’t been revisited since.

What L will be next, I wonder?

 

Lonely Are the Brave reissue?

List of Adrian Messenger reissue?

Lilies of the Field expansion?

Lights Out premiere?

Link expansion? (There’s a poor sounding complete boot out there just like for Legend — which seems to have been the source for the disc 2 alternates.)
Leviathan expansion?

L.A. Confidential expansion for Varese to finish their Goldsmith L streak?

For anyone wondering about Lights Out, it's one of the rare Goldsmith 70s things we haven't been able to find at The Goldsmith Odyssey yet...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068857/

 

"A toymaker develops a method to create dolls that kill." -- and starring Laurence Luckinbill, Sybok from Star Trek V!

 

Sounds very promising from the reviews:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068857/reviews?ref_=tt_urv

 

Apparently a video copy exists in the Paley Center for Media's library. I wonder if score tapes survive anywhere... we all know how great Goldsmith was with horror! If anyone is able to visit their location in New York or Los Angeles I'd be really curious what this score is like:

For anyone on the fence about the new release of Legend, check out the new Goldsmith Odyssey Soundtrack Spotlight!

https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/9568664-odyssey-soundtrack-spotlight-legend-1985

 

spotlight_legend.jpg

 

We play three of the four previously unreleased cues which premiere here. And we also play, for reference, *all* (I'm pretty sure) of the still-unreleased film alternates of certain cues, so you can hear what is still missing (unless there are other unused cues Goldsmith wrote and recorded...it's hard to tell as the written score was misplaced and we don't have a cue list from the sessions themselves). Special guests are Jeff Bond (who wrote the new liner notes) and Paul Andrew MacLean (who wrote the liner notes for the original Silva Screen expanded edition 29 years ago!)

 

Enjoy, and let me know what you all think!
