Tom Guernsey 2,284 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Nice, includes the fine original album alongside the expanded programme. As I'll buy more or less anything Jerry related, that's a must buy. I always think he was probably in with a better than average chance of a Oscar with LA Confidential, but had the misfortune for it to come out the same year as the sinking ship movie...

Seems like a classic Neil S. Bulk move. Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blu-ray of the extended cut didn't have an isolated score track, so that cue (and some others) premiered on the Intrada. Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 So Neil S. Bulk has posted on the FSM forum that the 22 second track "Badge of Honor" from the song compilation OST album could not be included on this new expansion because of rights issues. However, that song compilation album also had a 2:31 Goldsmith track titled "L.A. Confidential", as well. Is that music also unique to the song compilation album?

Jay 37,352 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Here's the entry on Varese's website for the physical CD edition L.A. CONFIDENTIAL (CD) UPC: 888072480872 11/18/2022 Regular price$ 19.98 No composer was better suited to score a picture than Jerry Goldsmith with L.A. Confidential (1997), director Curtis Hanson’s masterpiece of the James Elroy novel about corruption in 1950s Los Angeles. Not only was a Goldsmith a master of the thriller and crime genres, but his own career started in the era depicted in the film, and he had scored the all-time great detective noir, Chinatown. L.A. Confidential starred Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Kevin Spacey as police detectives, with Kim Basinger as a Veronica Lake-lookalike prostitute, in a labyrinthine but brilliantly constructed plot connecting city hall and the cops, organized crime, Hollywood tabloids and the gutter. The film received nine Oscar nominations—including for Goldsmith’s score—and won two, for Basinger and Best Adapted Screenplay. It was heralded as an instant classic and, 25 years later, is every bit as captivating. Goldsmith’s score combines a modern pulse, pace and suspense with period idioms—notably a bluesy trumpet theme, performed by Malcolm McNab, which to Goldsmith represented masculinity. The score distills the 1950s atmosphere of smoke and seediness, as well as a certain bygone era of honor and justice, while making the film ingeniously slick and contemporary—and, as always for Goldsmith, emotional. L.A. Confidential’s score album was released by Varèse Sarabande after the film in 1997. This Deluxe Edition features two programs on one disc: 28 tracks, running 45 minutes, representing the cues heard in the film, followed by the original 11-track, 30-minute score album. New liner notes are by Tim Greiving. Limited to 2000 copies. https://varesesarabande.com/products/l-a-confidential-cd It does not indicate who produced, edited, mixed, or mastered this album of music.

OneBuckFilms 319 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Production to me implies a factory or manufacturing process, assisting in the production of something (film etc.), perhaps for an ongoing set of products. "Project Assistant" suggests a specific project or task, perhaps assisting a research project, or the construction of a particular building. But that's just my intuition based on semantics. Real world? Probably both can be used interchangeably for a sidekick role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tydirium 1,167 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I ordered this release directly from Varèse 10 days ago (my first time ordering from them)—still hadn’t heard anything today about it shipping out, so I looked around online and found various horror stories about Varèse’s shipping (such as items being packed very poorly). I checked their FAQ and saw that it is possible to cancel an order as long as it has not shipped, so I submitted a request to cancel the order... and just within a couple hours I get an email that the item has shipped. Lol. Kind of ticks me off that I could have only spent just a few more bucks at SAE or Intrada and gotten it here within a few days of me ordering, likely packed more securely than whatever I’m about to get. I was all ready to order it from them within the next day once the cancellation went through, and probably still would have gotten it sooner than I’ll end up getting it from Varèse. Oh well. On a related note, I saw that Air Force One, Looney Tunes: Back in Action and some other titles I’m interested in (I’m in a major Goldsmith phase) are temporarily out of stock at Varèse, but presumably will be back… I figured I’d wait for them to eventually get back in stock, but at this point I’m almost tempted to just pay more to order them third-party.

Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I think that AFO and Looney are both sold out. Looney certainly is. They put it on sale a couple times (I guess that comedy doesn't sell great even if it's Jerry Goldsmith's final score) and I'm sure they aren't going to restock it again. So if you find it elsewhere for a good price, nab it! When Peter Hackman was still a Varese employee, handling Varese shipping... the shipping situation was good. Since he departed in early 2018, things have largely been a mess alas, with various third parties handling shipping very poorly overall. It is probably worth the small upcharge to get Varese product from SAE/Intrada/MovieMusic/etc. instead, unless there's some crazy Varese sale or something.

I think it's most likely a percussion strike tracked from later in the same cue. In any case, it's on the isolated score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put it on sale a couple times (I guess that comedy doesn't sell great even if it's Jerry Goldsmith's final score) and I'm sure they aren't going to restock it again. So if you find it elsewhere for a good price, nab it! When Peter Hackman was still a Varese employee, handling Varese shipping... the shipping situation was good. Since he departed in early 2018, things have largely been a mess alas, with various third parties handling shipping very poorly overall.

Yavar Sorry, didn’t see your comment before. Thanks for the insight about Looney and AFO! But yeah, my L.A. Confidential finally arrived today in some of the flimsiest packaging I’ve ever received, with a big crack across the front of the jewel case. They had said I could return it if I didn’t want it once I got it, so that’s what I’ll be doing. Just frustrating. It’s almost like they forgot about the order, then thought “Oh crap, he wants to cancel it/get his money back… Let’s send it right now.” I mean, what are the odds that after 10 days of zero information about my order, I get a notice that they are shipping my item less than two hours after I request to cancel it (and thus it’s too late to cancel)? Just weird. Regardless, I’ll definitely be purchasing Varèse stuff through SAE or Intrada from now on. I’ve ordered from those two in the past and have been very pleased. It’s pretty sad, though, that nowadays one can get Varèse albums secondhand from Discogs or eBay that come in better shape than from the actual label. Kind of ticks me off that I could have been enjoying this CD for the last two weeks already if only I had gone with a different seller. Oh well!
