Lukas Kendall announced on the FSM board that the releases of Beneath The 12-mile Reef and the double feature Patton & Flight Of The Phoenix are down to less than 50 copies. The release of Leonard Rosenman's score for The Fantastic Voyage is sold out.

Other low titles are (according to Kendall):

STAGECOACH/THE LONER

THE RETURN OF DRACULA - A few hundred left.

PRINCE VALIANT

MONTE WALSH

PRINCE OF FOXES

ALL ABOUT EVE

RIO CONCHOS

BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES

A GUIDE FOR THE MARRIED MAN

BATMAN - last 200, going fast

THE FRENCH CONNECTION - last 200, going fast

THE BRAVADOS

THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT

If you have hesitated to get any of these CD's yet, now might be a good time to invest. Especially the early Williams score might be of high interest for John Williams fans.

I didn't know that Patton was available. I have the Patton / Tora! Tora! Tora! release and wasn't to pleased with it.

Jerry Goldsmith's Patton (1970) is, by any standard, one of the most moving, effective and memorable film scores ever written. A model of economy and judicious spotting, the score clocks in at little more than a half hour in length . . .

I see that the total time of the Patton score on the cd is 76:24. So was ~46 minutes of music written and not used?!?

You are correct! The way it is listed on the site confused me:

  1. Patton Main Title (3:08)

  2. The Battle Ground (2:14)

  3. The Cemetery (2:42)

  4. First Battle (2:49)

  5. The Funeral (1:53)

  6. The Hospital (3:36)

  7. The Prayer (1:09)

  8. No Assignment (2:21)

  9. Entr'acte (1:52)

 10. Attack (3:14)

 11. German Advance (2:31)

 12. An Eloquent Man (1:42)

 13. The Pay-Off (2:24)

 14. A Change in the Weather (1:24)

 15. Pensive Patton/End Titles (2:33)

     Total Time: 76:24

     All music Previously Unreleased

     The Flight of the Phoenix

 16. Airborne (0:55)

 17. Main Title (4:58)

 18. Windy/Heartbreak (2:41)

 19. Brave Sergeant (1:43)

 20. Harris Leaves (2:19)

 21. Senza Fine (2:14)

 22. Gabriele's Death (1:34)

 23. Water (1:38)

 24. Let's Get Back to Work (1:38)

 25. Caravan (2:55)

 26. Naughty Boy (2:29)

 27. Model Planes (2:54)

 28. The Difference (1:54)

 29. The Propeller (2:44)

 30. The Big Pull (1:36)

 31. Rest Stop/The Ground Run (3:12)

Putting the total amount of music between the scores is odd, if you ask me.

Yeah. So if all the music is previously unreleased, why didn't they put in the music that was released to make a more complete score?

Also, why was Batman released through FSM? You can find this anywhere. Was there a re-release I missed?

FSM's Patton is the first official CD release of the actual tracks used in the film. If you have the DVD or Laserdisc these are the cues as heard in the isolated score. Goldsmith re-recorded Patton and selections from Tora Tora Tora for Varese Sarabande in 1997. The LP released at the time of the movie is actually a re-recording as well if I'm not mistaken.

The Varese release has the German march which is not on the FSM disc.

FSM's Batman is from the 1966 film featuring the cast from the TV series scored by Nelson Riddle.

Neither Patton nor Flight Of The Phoenix had before been released

This is a score CD featuring music from the 60's TV show.

Yes for Prince Of Foxes and especially Prince Valiant.

I don't have All About Eve or World Of Henry Orient. I guess I need to place an order.

All About Eve is a great film, but I don't remember the score being anything special. I've never heard a note of Prince of Foxes, but I like the Prince Valiant suite on the Gerhardt Waxman album very much.

Ah, what the hell, I'll probably wind up getting all three. If only I'd heard about them a week earlier, I could have got them in the sale. ;)

Mmmm no danger of John Goldfarb, Please Come Home selling out then! :lol:

Prince Valiant is one of my favourite releases, definitely a crucial addition to any film music enthusiasts collection - get it!

Happy new year to all, haven't been around for awhile and i'm loving the new MB format!

Very best,

Tim Burden

Batman?

It's music from the 1966 film with Adam West. It's actually a fun score, but it's all sold out now.

Yes, that was posted twice already in this thread.

Is the Man who Loved Cat Dancing still available?

K.C.

So, unlike your owner you appreciate Williams' works that aren't just SW, Indy, Superman, HP or have Boooomtzzzzzzz.

:music:

Oh by the way it has nothing to do with cats.

Sorry.
